They lie in wait like wolves, the smell of blood in their nostrils. Waiting, interminably waiting, and then...

It is great to know that both Morrissey & Marr will publish autobiographies soon. I really look forward to reading them.

How cool is that? Of all the Morrissey news of late, this is by far the most intriguing. A Penguin Classic? He'd be right up there with the greatest scribblers in the English literary cannon.

Of course, Faber is no slouch.

I only hope that Morrissey can find it within himself to work with a good editor. No one, not even Oscar Wilde himself could get by without a bit of grammatical tidying-up.

I dunno that about Wilde, what I do know is that writing/novels released,
which no-one is till today certain if it's Wilde or one of his friends, the work is
bit more erotic.

homo-erotic

I'm very curious if Morrissey gives something to read in his talking
[well he;'s a teaser isn't he] about having written allready 600 pages,
and hopefully not triming his ' explosive kegs' and his private life concerning
relationship, having a man/woman in his life which he was involved with more than
just ...well you know what I mean

I'm extremely ititated if he spend 200 pages about Smiths royalties and the Joyce/courtcase, 75 is enough, well make it hundred

anyway now his touir, an album, within 2 year I hope to have the book, I
guess I'm not the only one

Read it aloud to your hydrocephalic love child. Vocabulary counts.

It's probably best not to talk about being parents. Perversion is something that should be kept to oneself.
