From today's Manchester Evening News, a review of last night's Channel 4 Docu In my view: The Importance of Being Morrissey by Eric Jackson, ManchesterOnline. Excerpt: THE title of the programme was The Importance Of Being Morrissey (Channel 4, Sunday), but, to borrow another line from Oscar Wilde, it could have been called I've Nothing To Declare But My Genius. Because Steven Patrick Morrissey, formerly of The Smiths, professional Mancunian and undoubtedly the greatest writer of pop lyrics ever, gave absolutely nothing away about his personal life in this one-hour documentary.

What do we want to know? (Score:0)
I wonder what exactly people want to know about Morrissey that we do not already know. To my mind their are three "big" questions...
1) Is he gay? Anyone with half a brain should be able to work out that if Morrissey is not gay then he certainly isn't straight. I think it is obvious from what was said in the doc. that Morrisey is no longer celibate and that his constant refusal to be bogged down by the prefixes hetero, bi or homo mean that he has probably had daliances with "all sorts".
2) Is he racist? Do we really need to go into this? Obviously he is not racist. He may not be p.c but he is not a member or sympathiser of any ultra-right or right wing group. HE loves the Mexican commuinity and he has worked with Asian musicians...not a shred of evidence exists to support this and as he said in the doc. "What would I be trying to achieve?"
3) Is he "bad" at business? Yes.
What else do we need or want to know?
