    words cannot express how much i love this man. i found his lyrics when i was at my absolute lowest, as a depressed teenager also spending a preoccupying amount of time secluded in her bedroom. said bedroom got filled with the sound coming from smiths records, and together with feeling miserable i finally felt truly understood for the first time in my life.
    i don’t know whether i’d be here without morrissey.

    He got older and wiser and perhaps more even cynical about the world and definitely more weary about the “music industry”. But he has not really changed - life will wear you down eventually. The Smiths meant a lot to me when I was young and I still love them now that I’m in my 50’s. Morrissey has always spoken his mind. He attacked the British Royal family and the meat industry. The establishment fought back and won. Morrissey won’t be accepted again until he’s gone - then the media will proclaim that he was always a genius. Morrissey knows this. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I respect his right to say it.

      I did personal 'catch up' course with The Smiths in the 90's. It's as though I listened to them in the 80's. As far as 'jingly-jangly' music went then, I was listening to The Wedding Present and The Mighty Lemon Drops. But the thing is, I was/am far more into Electronic and Industrial Music. So, whilst I looked like Morrissey then, I was listening to Depeche Mode, New Order.....@@EdwinJack64

    I was a pupil at St Mary's RC secondary modern in Stretford, I was there when the report of the schools rather "excessive" corporal punishment record was discovered after an OFSTED report, i was in my first year in 1982 , when a Granada reports camera crew and reporter arrived outside the school gates around 3pm, just as we were going back to class after our final break, being rather exited to see a camera crew as giddy as most 12-13 year old boys could be (waving, shouting, cat calling, etc)....Our punishment, 2 strokes of the strap across the palm of our hands.....Ahhh, happy days!
