Another day, another musician having a pop at Morrissey. In the Guardian.

Headline:

‘Morrissey’s lyrics are untouchable, but I don’t want to think about him’: Lauren Mayberry’s honest playlist​


Excerpt:

The song I secretly like, but tell everyone I hate
I feel like the narrative around Morrissey has caught up with my feelings about the Smiths. His lyric writing is untouchable. But I don’t want to think about him, hear about him, or know any more about him. Everything said about Morrissey comes with a pile of sadness.

From the Guardian's Honest playlist series.

"In what is mistakenly called real life, Cheryl was very funny. She drove from Wilmslow to my flat in Bowdon several times, and afternoons of very eloquent sarcasm streamed out. Her punishment was to appear in the video for Everyday is Like Sunday as the cattish older sister. I always felt better for having known her … which is sustaining when such cheerful voices die away. I wish our conversations had been recorded - they were much funnier than Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?, and of course, much louder." MORRISSEY.

"I think it had something to do with Glastonbury. I was watching this year’s festival on TV the other night. Coldplay were headlining, they were amazing, and I thought: God, it gets no better than that. Then I thought: You played there, last year. You played Glastonbury. You. Rick Astley.
You went to Glastonbury, you played a set on the Pyramid Stage, it went down really well, people said lovely things about you. Then you played again, the same day, doing Smiths songs with Blossoms. And instead of getting slated and destroyed and people tearing the tent down in disgust at some eighties pop star desecrating the catalogue of Morrissey and Marr, it went down a storm.
That’s insane.
If you want evidence that people think of you differently from the way they once did, there it is: thousands of people were singing along to you covering ‘There Is a Light That Never Goes Out’ so loudly that you could barely hear your own voice. If someone had told you that would happen even three or...
