Ancient Catholic ignoramus here—who knows almost nothing of 21st century music—would like to ask whom people think this is.
I've seen Brandon Flowers, Alex Turner and Ian McCulloch mentioned. Hardly know who they are. Any other candidates?
Just curious what people now think after @Odbmke opened all this out a few weeks back. And I'm grateful @Odbmke … thank you.
I understand you don't want to be specific. But I am just curious what more informed minds than my own may think of this "one realistic candidate" ? . .

It was ok, it kept my interest and I read through it pretty quick. I read it shortly after reading Autobiography. I've read far worse books, ones I couldn't even make it through because of boredom.
I personally don't get why it gets so much guff.
To each their own, as always.

It surely can't be any worse than some of the bestsellers I stupidly bought; one number-1 novel actually ended with the hero practically folding the airplane terrorist into the shape of a swastika, while dazzling fellow passengers with something literally like the following speech:
"Wherever liberty is threatened, I will be there. Wherever peaceful citizens are at risk, I will take a stand. Wherever supermarkets stop selling curry-flavoured beans, I will make my own" etc etc. Okay, so I made that last sentence up, but it was teeth-grindingly terrible anyway and almost made me want to free the terrorist. And that writer somehow went on to be a top tv show producer...

The notes in the reissues of “Maladjusted” and “Southpaw Grammar” read like “Autobiography”. Equally the quotes here about “Your Arsenal” and Mick Ronson are in a similar style to my eyes https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/he-had-been-very-loyal-to-bowie-morrissey-on-mick-ronson-25863/

This is quite sad seeing Johnny Marr just playing with these bands. He only supported Blondie cos Blondie supported Morrissey...trust me it's what jealous ex-friends "do." He says he just wants to move forward...what by playing with Britney Spears or Taylor Swift next? He should have pushed Morrissey for a Smiths reunion before Andy died...and made everyone happy, and himself cos I do think he's in it for the money, even though everyone says that's Morrissey. Marr really does really know it's over, yet still he clings...

Anything’s possible. Even if it means a recording collaboration in the future. Time will tell.

Britney Spears or Taylor Swift - that’s hilarious! Almost as funny as Moz working with Miley Cyrus! Marr said no to Moz. Morrissey can apologize publicly, complete tours, keep his mouth shut and maybe Marr might come around.

the delusional part of me thinks Morrissey is going to complete the tour and has been away from politics statements and scandals, because it mean we are getting a reunion soon. Let me dream, ok!

I had forgotten about that Ronson-focused interview - thanks for sharing. We're all infinitely richer for the connection having been made between him and M.
Portions of the notes for the named reissues were definitely repurposed/ultimately intended for Autobiography, in some cases word for word. I remember doing a side-by-side comparison when I initially read the book.
