  1. The Spirit of '69

    Moz and teh drugkz

    Morrissey isn't averse to alcohol, but I've only heard of his being unpleasantly drunk on one occasion, during the last days of The Smiths, when he was uncharacteristically aggressive and hostile, presumably due to stress. He also used to ask his bandmates for cigarettes after a few drinks...

    Morrissey’s quirkiness

    Well, ghost stories are traditional at Christmas, and Morrissey tells it much better than I could, so, here's the link to the interview in which he tells it: http://www.laweekly.com/news/features/moz-the-cat/15505/?page=2 It's bloody terrifying, in my humble opinion. And I've been to...

    Morrissey’s quirkiness

    Glad I got most of it right after a decade. True or not, I like it. :)

    Morrissey’s quirkiness

    Have you heard Morrissey's ghost story, about what he saw on Saddleworth Moor? That'd scare more than your dog.. :eek:

    Morrissey’s quirkiness

    I particularly like two stories I can vaguely recall. In the first, Morrissey had to move house while he was in The Smiths, and got (I think) Mike Joyce to help him. Joyce was disturbed to find the darkened house largely bare, except for weight-training equipment and pictures of James Dean. In...

    What's a good "starter" cd for a teen?

    Get him 'The World Won't Listen'. Best Smiths compilation in my opinion, and an utterly fantastic cover featuring brooding German leatherboys. On second thoughts, don't stress that bit. P.S. The other inner sleeve picture of the four girls who look like The Smiths is hilarious. he might...

    Ive Met Paul Heaton

    For many years, I have prayed nightly for Mr Heaton's horrific death, so any more tales to stoke my rage would be greatly appreciated.. ;)

    Drunk

    I'm not sure being drunk or stoned at a Morrissey gig is such a good idea. It seems a bit disrespectful to the Great Man, and something of a waste of money, plus you can end up annoying everyone else. My girlfriend and I got horrendously drunk at Morrissey's last UK gig at Wembley (I blame the...

    BILLY BRAGG TO MORRISSEY: "You're a bore"

    Good to see old Billy still spouting the Party Line..

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 197: THERE SPEAKS A TRUE FRIEND

    Not one of his prouder moments. And what's with the horrible 'let's take the tape out without turning it off' ending? :confused:

    We the undersigned Love Morrissey and hate racism.

    And I!

    Breaking News?!?

    I'm sure the NME's defence lawyers will leave no stone unturned in their attempt to prove Morrissey is a racist. If he is, it will come out. Let's hope not, eh? :(

    Breaking News?!?

    I hope he takes them to the cleaners. Quite aside from anything else, they've given the BNP some free publicity.

    Morrissey's Myspace Page

    If the NME didn't think doing all this would end up giving the BNP a new high profile 'supporter' and some free publicity, they are even more stupid than I thought. Morrissey should immediately and publicly repudiate the BNP, but I doubt he will. All the tabloids seem to be covering this...

    Top 10 Albums at the moment

    No Smiths/Moz, eh? Fair enough.. In no particular order (unless I'm drunk, in which case I tend to slur that the first three are 'the Greatest Albums of All Time').. 1) Searching for the Young Soul Rebels - Dexys Midnight Runners 2) It's a Shame About Ray - The Lemonheads 3) George Best...

    Smiths/Morrissey Winter/Xmas songs?

    'East West', as originally sung by Herman's Hermits, was a Christmas single about wanting to be home with the folks when you're stuck on tour drinking champagne, staying in classy hotels, and being chatted up by busty beauties. Perhaps not overly convincing.. Morrissey changed the lyrics...

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 187: THE NATIONAL FRONT DISCO

    Work of genius. Always gets me going at the Star & Garter. Hope this doesn't mean I'm some sort of Nazi.. :eek:

    The first Image of Morrissey I ever saw...

    I must have seen him in the 80s, but I can't consciously remember, though I vaguely recall thinking The Smiths were irritating for some reason. I was very young.. My first clear memory of him is in 1992 when he was filmed backstage at Madstock and ironically said something like 'into the lion's...

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 183: THE HEADMASTER RITUAL

    One of his very best songs. I remember how, in a lecture theatre in Manchester University, someone had carved the entirety of this song's lyrics into one of the desks. And quite right too. :)

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 182: THE LAST OF THE FAMOUS INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOYS

    One of the greats. Genius!
