That is the title of a book that is out that I heard talked about on the radio today....don't kow how long the book has been out, but not one mention of old Mogsy in it at all.
here is a review of it:
I Hate Myself and Want to Die - The 52 Most Depressing Songs You've Ever Heard, by Tom Reynolds (Hyperion Books) - If you're looking for a book that will share in the depths of your misery and praise your favorite Morrissey song, then put this book down - it's not for you. Instead, Reynolds offers a truly hilarious take on a variety of tracks and their performers - some of which he pokes fun at for taking themselves far too seriously, others he delves into to reveal what may not have been so readily apparent. Dripping with sarcasm and a general disdain for some of the bad music that somehow became hits, no genre, legend or topic is safe from Reynolds' incisive wit and wisdom. There are some laugh-out-loud moments that make the book memorable. Reynolds may have created a cottage industry for himself - we're waiting for volume two!
