  • Actually, that's a great cover, and welcome change form the usual glamor shot photos that grace a Morrissey piece.

  • With the mighty Swallowneck about to embark on a hot and hard week in Majorca popping pills and slipping and sliding within lubbed-up condoms I dare say he could have done with this book to read on the toilet at 4am as his bowels react to a typically hefty bout of food poisoning!!!

    The hotel should place the quilted toilet tissue in fridge in anticipation of his arrival tomorrow!

  • for the pictures, above anything thing else. A picture says more than a thousand words. Because I know Portuguese, I can understand enough Italian from this article/presentation to realize I have read the word "icon" a thousand times, just like "the biggest group apart from the Beatles". I have been reading these words for twenty years. But the pictures always feel new, like this one of Morrissey making a gun with his hands on the cover. Oh, you could write a text about it, and the text wears out with time and repetition, but the picture will remain always vivid. This is one of Morrissey's strongest assets: even when he is not speaking or singing, his photographed face is always telling us something. His face is an icon. His body, like his torso and his hands, send strange messages. Lennon and McCartney never had that fascination. Not even charming immortalized icons, like Jacques Brel, or Elvis Presley (even though this one was very handsome). James Dean perhaps... with a certain question in his eyes, or an indefinable sadness.

  • I'll buy this just to have it, but I won't be quick to read it. I've read every book out there I can get my hands on about The Smiths/Moz and they all have the same content.
    I know I shouldn't hold my breath on this, but I would devour an autobiography by Morrissey himself in one sitting!!

  • I will look for it and maybe buy it.
    Good news.
    The only book I found in Italy about The Smiths/Moz was "Morrissey" by Pat Reid.
