"I've come to wish you an Unhappy Birthday
'Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
But I won't cry"
- "Unhappy Birthday" by The Smiths

Bookwomble @Leftcoastzen He's a bit of a conundrum, so some explanation, probably psychology, is required for a man who championed the marginalised in his youth, and quickly descended into reviling them 🫤 As he wrote the quoted petard, it seems appropriate to hoist him with it! 6mo
Bookwomble @BarbaraBB Past tense, exactly! 6mo
Bookwomble @AmyG Very much a Charmless Man these days! 6mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja I'm still a fan of The Smiths, not the man. I love seeing Johnny Marr on shows, when inevitably he's asked about Moz, and he retains a dignified silence, but his expression speaks volumes ? I think the nearest I've heard him comment was in reply to a question about a Smiths reunion, and he said, "Maybe, but with Nigel Farrage on guitar!"?? 6mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble I did some session work for Johnny Marr for the last Electronic album. He was a good bloke 6mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja 😱 You've been hiding your light under a bushel! EXPLAIN! 🧐 6mo
The_Book_Ninja In another lifetime I was a DJ and producer. Arthur Baker rang me up one day and asked me if I would do some scratching for a Johnny Marr project. I turned up at the studio, scratched some noises onto the backing track, (which got used on two songs) had a cup of tea and left. That must have been ‘98 6mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja FANTASTIC! Jason Mad Doctor X?! Mate, you're on the record sleeve 😃 6mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja 🙇‍♂️😉 6mo

There‘s no way sugarcoat it. This book was awful. I started it two other times and couldn‘t get past the first 5 or so pages. This time I was determined to power through and I did manage to finish it. It‘s as terrible as the reviews said it is.

Idiosyncratic at times, but not a bad experiment.

Writes prose as well as he does lyrics, a genuine Penguin Classic.

TheNeverendingTBR @vivastory Good taste! 👌 4y
TheNeverendingTBR @Vansa I'm going to read it for the first time soon! 😌💫 4y
Bookwomble @Vansa Same - today's Morrissey is such a disappointment 😕 4y
Vansa @Bookwomble it's actually quite surprising,from the lyrics of the genuinely empathetic, thoughtful Smiths songs I would never have expected this change of mindset!! 4y
Bookwomble @Vansa If you watch Morrissey's interviews from The Smiths era, he does often come across as a pretentious douche bag. How he is the same person who wrote those lyrics is something of a mystery to me. At least we still have Johnny Marr ❤🎸❤ 4y

What a terrible shame that Morrissey is such an awful racist arsehole. We can still enjoy the music though. Can't recommend this book highly enough to Smiths fans.

AmyG Ha...my first thought was basically- Morrissey is an asshole. (edited) 5y
batsy Ugh. I love their music so much and him revealing himself to be a racist arsehole is a betrayal #whycantwehavegoodthings 5y
TrishB Such a disappointment.....I will be making a very similar post!! 😁 5y

I love The Smiths and Morrissey but I don‘t think Morrissey himself would be fun to hang out with. This book was a struggle to read with his pretentiousness and it was written with absolutely no chapters or sections with most paragraphs spanning a page or two.
