> One notable exception to this rule was The Smiths. When Morrissey and Johnny Marr founded the band in 1982, they insisted on taking a bigger cut of income, from all sources, than the bassist, Andy Rourke, and the drummer, Mike Joyce

Has anyone ever found any redeeming personal qualities to Morrissey?



He's a unique blend of funny and annoying, a master troll.

His lyrics are one of the few I actually listen to and enjoy. Not to mention the song titles. So I guess he's a decent writer?


What a fantastic description or Morrissey. He's exactly a "master troll". His social "role" is like the chorus from Greek tragedies.

I don't often listen to his music anymore. But, when the mood hits, nothing else satisfies.
