Could "Rebels Without Applause" be a reference to something specific?

I don't understand business in general... does this mean that Moz is offering his album for some record label to launch

Wonderful! Very suggestive titles....

Verónica is a Spanish film about ouija board. It's a horror movie.

@GirlAfraidWillNeverLearn

I've read the line Sure enough, the telephone rings recently. In the autobiography????

It's such a Morrissey title that it does indeed feel like it should ring a bell (hehe), but I can't say that I know where to place it or if I've read it before. I'll keep an eye out.

The telephone or doorbell seems to ring constantly in that book though

Shouldn't track three be Kerouac's Crack-Up?

"Worst year of my life" . . . Oh, Morrissey . . . I pray for you and for the repose of the soul of your mother.

Isn't it strange that the worst year of our lives is the year of the Cathar prophecy?

From I Am Veronica:

"Just as I have had the opportunity to find my voice and search for a way to fight for my right as a “Mexicana,” I hope to make other women aware of their worth. Unfortunately, in the culture of our country, women are taught to be submissive and not stand up for themselves. Men only enforce and take advantage of this situation which produces extreme inequality. Because women are brought up this way, they have no knowledge or curiosity to make themselves their own person, without feeling any less than a man."

I Am Veronica — Remake

I admire my mother’s strength, who brought me up all on her own. I never met my father, but my mothers hard work and suffering has inspired me to search for a better future for women here in Oaxaca.

I know there's a novelist called that but I dont get the "crack up" reference.

Andres Calamaro a pretty good singer Of rock pop from my country has a song called "Media Veronica"1/2Veronica !!!!!

WHEN JACK KEROUAC HAD HIS CRACK-UP

Spiraling down a silo of despair and drunkenness in the wake of his On The Road/Dharma Bums celebrity as ‘king of the Beats’, Jack Kerouac longed for a safe haven. Poet/publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti heeded the

I'm kind of imagining this as a companion song to Neal Cassady Drops Dead. A thought that's both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.

Really? You can't?

I wasn't sure why he was writing a song about Diana Dors, was he a fan? I did read that she was in a tv adaptation of "A Taste of Honey".....that's the only Morrissey connection I've made so far.

Nope. It would be artless.

The most common backdrop seems to have been the one showing gangster Charles Richardson. In a few cities such as Manchester and Dusseldorf, the show started with the smiling Elvis backdrop, and ended with the Diana Dors one from the film "New Year's Eve" (view in situ; original image needed). In Sheffield the smiling Elvis image was up for one song, then Charles Richardson for the remainder of the main set and Diana Dors for the encore. In Paris, the backdrops were the Elvis and Charlie Richardson ones. The skinhead girls backdrop was probably not used in the UK because of the racism accusations.
