Morrissey's 1976 review Of The Ramones in Melody Maker on eBay

Re: Morrissey's 1976 Review Of The Ramones On Ebay

Ive absoulty no idea who the ramones are! I havent a clue!

But patti smith! The punk princess herself! :)

Ive loved patti smith for years now, bought all of her CDs and theres quite a few!!!! all have absolutly incredibilly moving lyrics and uplifting music !

And ive only just recently found out that morrissey admires her to!

Its quite easy to understand why morrissey adores patti smith, shes utterly outspoken, highly critisized and misunderstood, a non conformist, eccentric, totally original ect, she does seem to swear quite a lot, even in concert, but thats just the way she is, shes fantastic ! :)
In here own words shes a "rock n roll n*****" !

You think kristeen young is incredible live in concert by playing her fantastic aggresive style music and emotinal healing words ect that is just absolutly beautifull and uplifting to experience , wait to you see patti smith live in concert !!!!!!! :)

Absolutly incredible !!!!!!!!! They both are!!!!!!!
:)

In fact there is only one man on this planet who is better live in concert than patti smith and kristeen young and that is of course morrissey himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!! :)

Awww I feel i need to go and see morrissey live in concert again now, well cud allways just pop on a plane and go to new zealand, its only a few hours away on the opposite side of the planet! :)

But patti is actually an accumplished portrait artist in her own rite ect , but she is of course held in absolute wonder because of the absolutly fantastic poetry and music thats shes wrote!
Just look at some of her lyryics of "pissing in a river" ?

What more can I give you ? Baby I don't know
What more can I give you to make this thing grow?
Don't turn your back now, I'm talking to you

Should I pursue a path so twisted ?
Should I crawl defeated and gifted ?
Should I go the length of a river
Everything I've done, I've done for you
Oh I give my life for you.

What about it, you're gonna leave me,
What about it, you don't need me,
What about it, I can't live without you,
What about it, I never doubted you
What about it ? What about it ?
What about it ? What about it ?

Oh im pissing in a river"


Not many have the gift of writing emotinal music that can easily bring tears from ones eyes like this anymore these days !

I hate the Ramones. Every single song sounds the same! Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high schoooool OMGSTFU!

But they're from Queens! Local heroes.

I, too, wonder what album they sent him. Bee Gees?

This clip was reblogged on This Isn't Happiness, a really well-curated tumblr, and I think four people who know I like the Smiths told me about it. He's gone viral.

I've always thought it'd be interesting for an interviewer to question Morrissey on his 180-degree shifts on some music.

- With The Ramones he obviously went from disdain to dedication (though still not at P. Smith or NY Dolls levels I don't think)
- "Reggae is vile" to reviving an old reggae imprint
- Slamming The Polecats to Boz becoming the longest collaborator of his career.

With Moz it's sometime hard to tell where (analog) trolling ends and true shifts in opinions begin.
