In 1978 Billy featured as guitarist in The Nosebleeds with future singer of The Smiths (Steven) Morrissey, they only played two gigs and this is the advert from the second of those.

I was wondering about that. Because I remember a year or so ago there was some word from Johnny that he was thinking about a book.

I don't know, I personally feel like really only the Smiths bit of it will be interesting..

Does reading Morrissey's autobiography make you want to read Johnny's autobiography any more or less?

Money is nice.

Those discographies on Stephane's site, Goddard's books, here, and Wikipedia and countless other places seem not to be worth a penny. But this one is. They mentioned it.

UPDATE Nov. 15:

As mentioned by ASLEF shrugged in the comments, the "Autobiography" mention is actually part of the question, not the answer.

Matt James of Gene answers the question "Who the band would most like to punch in the music industry?" by replying "...I've just read the Moz autobiography (laughs). I'm not into punching anyone but if Simon Cowell happened to slip on a strategically placed banana skin, fall and hurt himself I wouldn't be that bothered." (3:40 mark)

Great news



Had no idea where to put the next tidbit, so I decided it would be here, if you don't mind :

At last month's Q awards, Neil Tennant (from the PSB) mentioned Moz's Autobiography with an interesting comment -

"When presenting the Q Idol award, he asks "Has everyone read Morrissey's book? Well he hasn't won..." "
