"We're used to pop music that brazens predictable positions on topical grievances ("They paved paradise, put up a parking lot," "Don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge"), but Morrissey has often dared to court disreputable figures (criminals, skinheads) as a way of pulling discontents back into the human fold. His method insists that we recognize the unmanageable part of ourselves in our aberrant, felonious, and forsaken brethren."
