    Morrissey Central “2022” (December 25, 2022)

    The Manics have had a love / hate relationship with Moz for many years. Mostly love / admiration though you can´t help but feel. There is this (fairly atrocious) interview from 1994. Channel 4 at its most amateurish - excruciating at points. The interview starts at about 3´30´´.

    Morrissey Central “2022” (December 25, 2022)

    The Holy Bible is their masterpiece - born from Richey watching far too many episodes of ´The Nazis - A Warning from History´. It is an excellent documentary series though. But thinking about such things too deeply is a highway to major depression. Not so fond of the Manics´later work. I seem to...

    Morrissey Central “2022” (December 25, 2022)

    2022 hasn´t ended well - but it´s great to see that Moz is approching 2023 with a sense of hope. Moz has always depended on the kindness of strangers - his career began with a ´gentleman caller´ knocking on the door - but you can´t help but have the feeling that there may not be too much...

    Rumor Scott Rodger (Maverick/Quest): Bonfire of Teenagers scheduled for Feb. 23, delayed by featured artist

    Whatever the accuracy of these comments - they explain a (brief) delay to BOT´s release but they don´t explain in any way the breakdown in the relationship between Moz and Capital and Maverick/Quest. There is clearly a lot more to that than some contractual issues about a backing vocal.

    Rumor Scott Rodger (Maverick/Quest): Bonfire of Teenagers scheduled for Feb. 23, delayed by featured artist

    The only doubt I have about these comments from Mr Rodger - surely removing a backing vocal from a mix is a fairly simple and straighforward process. Why do the backing vocals need to be ´replaced´?

    Morrissey Central "Roll On 2023" (December 23, 2022)

    I´m with you on that - Dog is easily his best album in years. The one song I don´t love on the album is Secret of Music but its strangeness has an appeal all of its own. The rest of the album is up there with his best solo material.

    Rumor Scott Rodger (Maverick/Quest): Bonfire of Teenagers scheduled for Feb. 23, delayed by featured artist

    I would doubt it´s anything to do with that to be honest - I would imagine this is purely to do with contractual / legal issues. The much more interesting question is why Morrissey didn´t say something about this yesterday in the statement on Central, and why he has suggested the future of BOT...

    Morrissey Central "Roll On 2023" (December 23, 2022)

    First the bonfire was unlit - now it´s been thoroughly pissed on from a great height. Let´s just hope the album still sees the light of day at some point. Roll on 2023 indeed.

    Morrissey Central “REBELS WITHOUT ASSISTANCE” (December 22, 2022)

    I don´t think anyone posts comments on this website because they think it might have any direct impact on Moz´s thinking or ´career´, for good or ill. It´s simply called expresing yourself. And expressing yourself is good. It´s one of the essential human freedoms - and it is very muhc under...

    Morrissey Central “REBELS WITHOUT ASSISTANCE” (December 22, 2022)

    He´s not a bitch in the Scottish tv interview - but he´s also pretty scathing in a gentlemanly kind of way - talking about there not being a murmur from the audience when told that Morrissey wouldn´t be appearing, and only 422 disgruntled Morrissey fans wanting their money back. He was clearly...

    Fiona Dodwell: "Sing Your Life: How Morrissey Became Music’s Greatest Lyricist" (December 21, 2022)

    Agreed. Stylisticly Moz´s lyrics are very clearly indebted to 60s ´kitchen sink´dramatists like Shelagh Delaney, with even a touch of Joe Orton at times. Sweet and Tender Hooligan is very Joe Orton. Where you can see the influence of Wilde though is when Moz is at his witty best in some of the...

    Morrissey Central "Witness To The World" (December 10, 2022)

    It's a nice idea that there is a line of 'outsider' artists and poets going back into history who pass on the flame from one generation to the next...Morrissey definitely seems to believe in that idea.

    Morrissey Central "Witness To The World" (December 10, 2022)

    I didn't read it that way. I read it more as - if people have suffered themselves then they are more likely to want to help others, extend their hand. A bit like the 'wounded healer' idea.

    Morrissey Central "Witness To The World" (December 10, 2022)

    Power is the power to make another suffer. That's a very distorted view of power. Power is simply a tool - a tool that can be used for good or a tool that can be used for bad. Power was used to create the NHS. Power was used to end slavery. How power is used is the key thing - and also how it...

    He announced he was planning to retire at 55 didn't he? I do wonder if Without Music may be his last album. The title does have a valedictory ring to it.

    Morrissey Central "Witness To The World" (December 10, 2022)

    I wouldn't totally disagree with that. Although I did understand the fuss, especially given the strength of IBEH as a single, and the long gap between Maladjusted and Quarry that created the feel of something of a 'comeback' when Quarry was released. Quarry is a better album than Maladjusted or...

    JGFT YT: "Cornelius Carr talks about his career, British World Titles, Morrissey music video & his new book." (December 13, 2022)

    Thanks for sharing that memory. It is amazing how music more than any other medium links to emotional memories in the brain. The memory of that night in Dublin must indeed mean a lot to you. I was at the Saturday night (18th Nov) of the Wembley Arena shows. It is a long time ago clearly, but...

    JGFT YT: "Cornelius Carr talks about his career, British World Titles, Morrissey music video & his new book." (December 13, 2022)

    38 fights, 34 wins, 17 knockouts. What a career. Apparently the backdrop at the Dublin show was indeed Carr. Backdrop Kenny Lane from the "Southpaw Grammar" cover, except for the first show, Dublin and Exeter where the Boxers tour photo of Cornelius Carr was used...
