Just finished reading the new autobiography by Mark E Smith, and what an excellent read it was. The funniest thing I've read for a long time and full of amusing stories and his observations on the human species. There were a few mentions to The Smiths and Morrissey, unsurprising really. The first one was that Moz was spotted backstage at a Chuck Berry/Jerry Lee Lewis concert in Manchester where Moz in his best suit was waiting around to speak to his "new best friend" Chuck. The most amusing one though was of The Fall playing in New York around the time of 9/11 where there were lots of posters of Morrissey around the city advertising a concert. One member of the band thought that the pictures were of his Uncle George, probably due to jet lag or something! Sounds more amusing when it's told in Smith's inimitable style. An amusing read if you are a fan of The Fall or not.
