and don't i know it....What an odd and pointless question...
The question would be better put
"how much of a distance do you think there is between Morrissey the public figure and Morrissey the private individual?"
Endless ill-informed discussion may follow, but on the whole I think people would rather not have their illusions spoiled. Morrissey is well aware of this, knowing what it feels like to be a "fan" himself. His interest in my opinion has always been more about iconography than celebrity.
.No, but can I have a few hits of whatever you're smoking?
Seriously... uhhh... no, that can't possibly be true. If he was master engineered by a music mogul, he would have been long over by now. The only "music mogul" who pulls Morrissey's strings is Morrissey. And he doesn't always do the best possible job of it... if he was greedy, or doing this just for the money, he wouldn't be turning down Smiths reunion offers, not even offers of $5 million, let alone the rumored $75 million.
You found out that Morrissey was a marketing gimick manufactured by some mogul somewhere? 'Morrissey' was played by an actor whose real name was Justin Goodwood....
Would this really upset you, and if it was the case would you rather not be told?

I totally understand this and i don;t think there is an ounce of truth in what i posted, I was just posing the question, what if. What if it was all fake, how would you react
I would be destroyed, yes.
Then I'd burn every CD I own barring The Queen Is Dead, because "I Know It's Over" can't have been written by a fake anywhere anytime ever, and then gradually convince myself that Marr was the genius behind The Smiths all along
Arrrh but Marr aint his real name, dilemma continues!

that's not a bad question. I'd be peed off, and I'd probably not listen to him again, at least for a while. I think I'd be better off not knowing, yeah.You found out that Morrissey was a marketing gimick manufactured by some mogul somewhere? 'Morrissey' was played by an actor whose real name was Justin Goodwood....

Does Morrissey like his goodwood, justin!
