24 Hour Party People

A bit in Guardian online about an intended scene of M snogging Tony Wilson's wife,as told by Steve Coogan.

I'm sure someone else can post the link cos I can't

"We had a scene with Morrissey snogging Tony Wilson’s ex-wife in the back of a car while Tony’s trying to be postmodern about it. But Morrissey wouldn’t let us use it because it never happened. Maybe it’s good he’s not in it, after all the shite he’s been coming out with these days."

Steve Coogan on making 24 Hour Party People: ‘I did my climactic speech – then took half an E’

‘We re-created the Haçienda nightclub in a Manchester warehouse,’ says the film’s director, Michael Winterbottom. ‘It was chaos – people were crying because they were so nostalgic’

Yes, the quotes are interesting here:

Ellis said: “Morrissey is shunned by the mainstream media. I don’t agree with him all the time but I love that he is free enough to talk about things. I don’t like the reaction to it. I don’t like the shutting down of the conversation, the idea that Morrisey is just an old man on a porch pointing his fingers – mostly he’s not if you listen to him.

“He has very interesting and nuanced takes on things that we might not agree with but that’s his take on it, it doesn’t mean you have to cancel him and throw him in cancel-jail. I have a problem with the way everybody has to be on the same page or you’re thrown into a kind of jail.”

Aww, bless that writer! Must be the very first time that anyone's compared "HSIN" to joining the committee for a May Ball at Cambridge... Still, he's a much better prose stylist than dear old Dodwell.

The Next Morrissey? This Guy Is Getting More Conservative as He’s Getting Older and He’s Really Into Morrissey

Former Smiths singer Steven Patrick Morrissey was one of the leading lights of the 1980s boom of Manchester post-punk rock, sensationalizing critics with his witty, sensitive lyricism, uniquely prissy stage presence, and obsession with being the only person in the band allowed to talk, but he...

A little Morrissey mention in an interview with Moby on the NME site:

Morrissey also asked you to work with him in 2000. What do you think your collaboration would have sounded like?

“He came up to me backstage at The Greek Theatre in LA and asked me to produce some music for his next album. But, again, I was on tour, so I couldn’t do anything apart from be hungover and live in airports. I love that first ‘The Smiths’ album, so I would probably have tried to return to some of that dreamier sound with him.”

Not Moby, the guy whose one hit is continuously piped into the lobbies of 3.5 star hotels in Eastern Europe!

I thought the same thing a few months ago, definitely losing a lot of weight which is not always a good sign when lost rapidly. Hope he is ok.
