    "I'm afraid yes I'm somewhat of a back bedroom casualty; I spent a great deal of time sitting in the bedroom writing furiously, and feeling that I was terribly important and that everything I wrote would go down in the annals of history, or whatever. And umm, it's proven to be quite true."

      Actually I can definitely hear a slight Irish lilt in his accent. It's not an Irish accent he has but I think perhaps he was trying to distance himself from his natural slight Mancunian accent. Possibly he was influenced by his mothers Irish accent, and he maybe also identified with Oscar Wilde who was also Irish.

I think its more to do with feeling like you don't fit in so you just try to enjoy your own company the best you can. It can get quite depressing sometimes though. I'm glad there is someone like Morrissey out there to remind me that I'm not alone in feeling that way.

    as a writer myself, I truly understand and appreciate what Morrissey had to say about having an inspiration and a muse. Some of the most mundane things to most people can be quite cathartic to the observant individual; the little details that give writing a depth, a richness to it. These details are essential, if we expect to find an audience. I've been a part of his audience since the beginning and I will be a part of it until he takes his final curtain call.... Thank you, Morrissey, for enriching my life's experiences, inspiring me, when no one else could, or would, inspire me. I love you....

    To understand Morrissey is to understand "loss". His words touch our sadness in a way that he would never trully recognize, since it would make Morrissey look back at the sadder moments of his life and ours. Every song he sings speaks of a dream unbidden, yet unspoken. How many of us know this....more than we'd like to say.

      ***** I think Morrissey's eloquent and well spoken manner of speech was much more of a normal way to talk back then. Although some people may agree that people who talk in this way in the year 2014 sound gay (kinda true) back then it was the norm.. Anyway I think it's more a combination of that massive chin and the hissing of poor quality recording equipment that brings on the 'gay lisp' that we find in so many cartoons and comedies of today.

He is charming and tragic at the same time. Infps can be charming and tragic too but in a very awkward way, they are more flegmatic, less to express certain emotions.

I loved that little smile, and gleam in his eye's when he made the joke about his writing becoming apart of literary history, it was cute! Manchester was such a trip, looking at all it's desolation, and grey decay, it's easy to understand a lot of the lyrics coming out of those great post-punk bands in the Manchester scene during the early 80's. I'm glad this little piece still exists, thanks for sharing!
