Here is a short story I wrote about Christmas, and it features Morrissey.

'Since the 1973 release of Wizzard’s fourth single, “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day”, the twenty-fifth of December hasn’t ended. Gaunt...
I'd demand to know what they'd done with the real Morrissey.
In all/some seriousness, I'd probably go through the following phases in the space of two hours: sceptical, excited; baffled; gripped by disbelief; sceptical again; anxious; nervous; and, finally, resigned to the money-fuelled...
I understand, and I politely receive that Connery-strike.
Also, is that GIF image taken from a film or is it CCTV footage of Sean's eyebrow-raising outlook being put into action?
Anyway, I think the opinions presented here all suggest that a Bond theme by Morrissey would be a...
I know what you mean. Perhaps something in the vein of Ganglord, then? It'll never happen, of course, but hypothetical speculation is what makes the world go round.
Okay, first things first: I realise that James Bond isn't exactly a great film institution - I myself only enjoy one or two from the entire series, and that's on an entirely superficial level (my something-cousin was one of Roger Moore's Bond girls for about seven minutes). I also realise that a...
I have indeed noticed, but his 'bad' music (purely in my opinion, of course; there is no objectively 'bad' music) isn't limited to recent years - there are a few Smiths tunes I don't particularly enjoy, and several solo tracks from the '90s.
Sporadic variation; that's what Morrissey's career...
You're just demonstrating how the internet is a foul place for pretending to understand a stranger. I'm not one of 'those people' who complain about the band just to complain. I don't like all of the recent music, that is all. How is that 'baseless'? Or even 'boring'? It's just what I feel about...
So I challenge an opinion and you retort with some sort of personal insult? I'll overlook the immature debate tactics as long as you kindly explain how I 'don't know what I'm talking about.' Pretty much everything I said in my post was opinion, so I don't understand your conclusion.
A person's inability to perform doesn't mean they can't criticise. I could never create a successful 'lads' magazine' or tabloid newspaper, but that doesn't mean I admire them. I do, however, feel the same about the 'creator' reference - the lyrics are very simple, and they don't bother...
I think we have a very flimsy definition of 'ordinary man' here. Bet he does loads of 'normal' stuff. He's certainly worn some absolutely dire outfits in his time. Horrible cardigans and trainers, tracksuit bottoms and bootcut jeans? Hypocritical opinions? Furiously inconsistent principles...
I enjoy discussing the quality of his albums, because there's so much sporadic variation. When listening to an album, or a single, or even just an album track (with any band/musician), I try to imagine how such an album/single would fare as a debut/comeback. I know it's a bit unrealistic because...
Thanks kindly for all the responses, and for reminding me of a book I have long been meaning to purchase.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to have heard the similarity, be it a coincidence or otherwise.
I was listening to the song Here in Heaven by Sparks earlier, and I felt that the music during the chorus, about forty seconds in, was very familiar. I realised that it sounds very like the opening to Everyday Is Like Sunday.
I know that Morrissey was/is a keen fan of Sparks, and I was just...
I remember how harshly you criticised me for making one or two grammatical mistakes a few weeks ago when I disagreed with something you'd said. Funny.
I agree that it is nice to hear of this kind of experience, but – like many others – I will Never Understand The Inclination To Capitalise...
The title track of Maladjusted is my absolute favourite Morrissey song, but the album feels to slide downhill after that before crashing into the keyboard-driven wall that is Sorrow Will Come In The End. I just can't stand the obvious fake string instruments. It makes a few of the tracks feel...
