Sorry Kenny we're at the opposite ends of the spectrum with him. Talentless, tuneless and pointless. I can't even listen to him talk without wanting to throw up.

akabula, I like him as a person and his tremendous empathy towards animals. Not a fan of his music in particular although I've heard considerably worse.

I was blown away when the Smiths burst on the scene, bigger than the Beatles I would say. They weren`t but they were better.

Mozza is a true legend and The Smiths made some of the best tunes ever, not just of the 80s. Great lyricist, up there with the very best.

He tries too hard. He isnt Wilde. He isn't even Stephen Fry. The first half of his book was quite entertaining but fell off a cliff attached to an out of key piano about halfway through. The Smiths were a great band in my view but that was because of the group dynamic. It is to his discredit that he treats the input coming from Joyce and Rourke in such a derogatory fashion as if all they were were session muscians. They drove the sound and gave it depth. Without them The Smiths would have been little more than fey nancy boys instead of what they were whcih was a whipcrack smart dynamic edgy live band. Throw in Marr's brilliance at the time and Morrisey had a pretty easy time of it. He's occasionally sparkled since those days but that was when he was truly relevant and it is inconceivable that his long time collaborators have written songs for him to compare with what he and Marr came up with in the early 80's. It's like Macartney's flame occasionally flickers but never roars and he at least still writes his own stuff.
