Moz-inspired title by writer Annie Caulfield and news headline

This is bordering on the uninteresting in the present climate, but in case it hasn't been included...

About a year ago a travel writer from the north of Ireland, Annie Caulfield, chose to call her latest book 'Irish Blood, English Heart, Ulster Fry'.


...Last November one of Ireland's main Sunday papers, the Sunday Tribune, ran a double-page analysis of a gangland mshooting in Limerick, under the heading 'First of the gang to die'...

Not cataclysmic, but it shows the influence of a well-turned phrase.

  • Another recent book with a Smiths inspired title: "Heavy Words Lightly Thrown" by Chris Roberts (about the hidden meanings behind nursery rhymes) . The author gives credit to The Smiths in the introduction.

      I always thought that was a Smiths inspired title, but I never got round to checking. I recently read 'Girlfirend In A Coma', on my trawl through Douglas Coupland's oeuvre, and there are at least 20 references to The Smiths in there, besides the title. I'm sure if we had a collective think we could count lots of authors and artists borrowing from Moz the way he did from Wilde and Delaney.
      What I find amazing however, is that no one has yet included Morrissey in a book of quotations. I happen to find such books a bit tacky (for people of the 'can't be bothered to read or watch the whole thing, soundbite generation') but it'd still be nice to see him get some recognition as a purveyor of British wit. Such as:

      "Artists aren't really people. And I'm actually 40 per cent papier mache."

      "I don't think people in leggings have a right to live."

      There's so much he's said that makes me laugh.

  • Oh, I see, "Northern Ireland" must be in Korea or somewhere, and there was me thinking it was in the North of Ireland.
    You fucking wankbag.
