I remember him on Desert Island discs and it made interesting listening. He made references to later life and hinted he would not make it into old age. I look forward to reading this book.
Little known fact- The Smiths played live in Moulescomb.

Probably a rambling. long winded, complicated load of tosh but without the usual catchy tune.

Apparently the first paragraph runs four and a half pages.

I can imagine it's a great read, gripping from the first page to the last. Might just give it a miss and leave a void in my life by such a swerve.

Thanks but no thanks. There aren't many people as much up their own arse as him. I really don't get why he hasn't moved to Argentina !

In 2006 Morrissey was voted the second greatest living British icon by the viewers of th BBC losing out to Sir David Attenborough.

I can't believe how he only came second. Especially to a pensioner who just hides behind bushes and talks about furry animals. His brother would have been a better choice, atleast he got to have a go on Princess Margaret and played " Pinkie " in Brighton Rock

Yep. At Cockcroft Hall along Lewes Road. They use to have quite a few gigs there in the 80's. My Bloody Valentine played there as well.

I started reading it today and it's very funny, his writen prose is on a par with Smiths lyrics.

The irony is Im currently having to sit through hours of Les Miserables rehersals and Mozza's cheering me up.

I don't really know about the bloke, I know he was from The Smiths and then went solo, all I remember about him is watching him on Jonathan Ross a few years back in one of his few interviews and he said he didn't like people and just wanted to be by himself, or words to that effect. And yet the bloke needs the people he dislikes to enable him to live. Strange man. If he doesn't have the time to talk to people like us, why should we bother to give him time and money? If it wasn't for his past he would just be another weird old recluse that lived at the end of the road who killed cats and set traps for little toerags to stop tresspassing.
