‘The Importance of Being Morrissey’

image
 
From 2003, The Importance of Being Morrissey is the most revealing and quotable documentary made on Steven Patrick Morrissey. 

In it he compares meat eating to child abuse; attacks the Royal Family and Tony Blair; responds to the accusations of racism; and we hear about his depression. There’s also some great concert footage, and a mixed selection of celebrity fans who explain their fervor for the Mozz: J K Rowling identifies with Morrissey in a darkened room, though still won’t give up bacon; former neighbor, playwright Alan Bennett couldn’t say his name, but thinks he has an interesting face with a story to tell; Will Self likes his muscular intellect; Noel Gallagher thinks he is the greatest ever lyricist; Chrissie Hynde thinks people who don’t get him can go fuck themselves; Bono thinks he’s funny; and Nancy Sinatra says he’s a great hugger.

Trust that prick Bono to think he’s funny.

At the end of this I am either going to despise him more than i already do or understand why my friend Karen is completely, totally and utterly besotted with him. I will let you know…....

Early, young Morrissey was in awe of something in a world he wanted to participate in, he smiled and charmed, but that later solo version is really a different expression, something changed within. Having said that, I just wanted to add Noel Gallagher complimenting someone on lyrics… well….

So, is Moz the inspiration for Noel’s constant usage of words that rhyme with ‘schmunshine’?

His racism is quite quaint actually. Almost makes it fashionable again.
