I saw this small item by Andrew Pierce in The Times today (13th)

This charmless man

THE first reviews of Mark Simpson's newly published Saint Morrissey were unanimously favourable in the The Times, Independent, The Guardian and Time Out. But this month's Uncut literary magazine carries a violently passionate denunciation of it as "boring, appalling, smug, idiotic" and "a painful waste of time and trees". The reviewer concludes that it reveals "nothing about Morrissey that hasn't been suggested more eloquently before".

And the brave, clear-eyed, objective reviewer who, alone, saw Simpson's failings and put the literary world to rights? Stand up Simon Goddard.

Ah, would that be the same Goddard who is author of that other Morrissey tome The Smiths: Songs That Saved Your Life, published last year and unfavourably compared to Saint Morrissey by The Times?

Never heard of this quote.

Know thy footwear

by KRISTIAN GRAVENOR

Excerpt:
Mancunian crooner Morrissey once noted that one's self is unknowingly dictated by the footwear one happens to be sporting. Put a skinhead in slippers and he's instantly transformed into a nerd, get a goth into loafers and the tragic scowl disappears.
