Melody for Monday: World is full of crashing bores
In any other person's hands, the song would have become a paean to self-pity. But what Morrissey crafts is the source of world disdain - unrequited love. The high possibility of the singer himself being one of the crashing bores the world is populated with turns a complaint into an existential concern...

¥2,268 (¥2,100 excluding tax)Label: ele-king books
SIZE: 46th edition 224 pagesHearing now the wonderful contradictions of a rock star who has been called a “national treasure” by the British newspapers──
An unprecedented The Smiths/Morrissey theory written by a popular columnist in disc guide format.Another
UK pop culture and local sociology that resonates in the post-Brexit era.
Morrissey has been loved by a wide range of people, from literary girls to skaters, from the left to the right. This is simply because Morrissey's music embodies the contradictions of the UK country.
What does his music evoke in us now?
"This is an unofficial Brexit theme."
"It's just a stupid left-wing opinion."
These two comments clearly show how these lyrics can be read in completely opposite interpretations. Left and right, up and down, globalism and nationalism. Twelve years ago, Morrissey foretold the chaos in Britain, where various axes intersect and it becomes difficult to talk about who is on which side within the framework of conventional political ideology. (From the main text)
The long-awaited new book written by the popular columnist Mika Brady!
Warners realising there's a couple of bucks to still be made.

Interesting. I notice (if my maths is correct) that The Smiths' YouTube channel's number of subsrcribers is up nearly 69% from 580,000 in May 2022 to 980,000 today (contrasting with Morrissey's number of subscribers, up about 2% from 248,000 to 253,000).
Upcoming book.
