I am a huge fan of Brel and I find it odd that Morrissey hasn't, as far as I'm aware, at least mentioned Brel. I would've thought Brel would be someone Morrissey would find many things to like, Brel's biting wit, his scathing hate for many things, his self-depreciation, his stunning lyrics with some beautiful music, etc. And of course, his amazing stage presence and passion as he performed, performing controversial songs.
Surely he appreciates something like this?

Morrissey will undoubtedly have heard of Brel so I wonder why he hasn't at least cited him in anyway. Unless he has?
