[Gaylord Deepstar]

Ofcourse Moaning Myrtle lurks around here. Wouldn’t you if you were him?

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

Very true.. it is maddening, and it even upsets me sometimes how people talk about him on here... but since we are here talking about him, and since the discussions are so raw and so utterly human, I bet he gets curious from time to time! Maybe he finds the maddening things we say humourous! He seems to have a dry sense of humor like that.

Of course he comes here. If there was a website devoted to you, how could you help but be intrigued by what people are saying about you and - in my case - what poetry they are writing.

I would. Why not? I'd love to see what some hooligans are saying about me.

Maybe. But if Autobiography and his various public statements about certain people over the years are any indication, he also seems to take some real and perceived slights very personally - which is quite human. I'd not come anywhere near a fan site were i an artist, but Moz can do what he wants.


I think Moz is aware of the live show stalwarts, the Mel Torments, the Margret Dale's the Dickie Felton's and (from his words about Marget and Mel's passing, quite understandably moved (and a touch perplexed by that level of devotion, so good for all of them,

 

[Gaylord Deepstar]

So we all agree he hangs around here?

Awesome news for all the cultists! Come on, do your best and don’t worry! Bend over backwards and maybe some day you’ll be Myrtle’s new BFF!

Imagine that, mixing his Gin & Tonics and getting screamed at because you used too much tonic!

One can only dream of such happiness….

 

[Mozmanc]

lol we’re actually never going to hear some of our favourites live ever again I kept looking down the list for Now My Heart Is Full, Nobody Loves Us, Lost, Dial a Cliche etc he can’t actually be this disillusioned with his own material and it’s relative worth…

It’s not a serious list without songs like Well I Wonder & I Know It’s Over anyway and don’t get me started on some of the ones he has the nerve to even write down

Can we really trust his judgement now with all the classics he’s put out as b-sides down the years

 

[j*e*t]

I think Johnny Marr wrote that one, to be fair.

That explains it then! I was just starting to wonder if Morrissey had plagiarised it from some as yet unferreted brilliant author and was trying to disown it while there was still time!

 

[Johnnie Ray]

All the cool dudes are wearing them.

Sexy AF.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

I couldn't give two shits about this list, we all have our different views of favourite lyrics, etc, but this:

"songs from which Morrissey feels most lyrical self-fulfilment"

...is just terrible, terrible writing.

Terrible, That's How People Grow Up-level writing.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Exactly. How can you take a list like this seriously without I Know It's Over??

It's not just the omission of some of his greatest lyrics ever but it is the stubborn inclusion of songs that he knows are not up to his standards. Why he feels the need to troll people is weird, he is only slighting or discrediting his best work, which again, is weird.

 

[The Alchemist]

Marr once described witnessing Morrissey's vocal performance on I Know It's Over as "one of the highlights of my life"

To be fair though, the music is kinda incredible too.

 

[Phranc & Open]

I sometimes think he is among us here on this site, also making posts, perhaps just as an anonymous.

Like a ghost in a Séance?

One of the best pop rock songs ever.

 

[Skylarker]

Quite a bit from the ROTT era.

 

[The Alchemist]

[Girlmostlikely]

another favorite of mine! Yeah, there’s a lot of different ones I would have put on this list, if I wrote these songs.

I thought everyone hated PATSE! Lol. That was the song I could remember being the most made fun of. I never cared for it but I did like Action is my Middle Name when it was played live the time.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Fortunately, I’m not like anyone.

 

[The Queen of Batons]

So we all agree he hangs around here?

and with nicknames for us all while drawing cartoon figures of what he thinks we look like. And when he says he comes to his shows to see the audience, he tries to guess who's who! Just a light-hearted comment from me, and yet we don't really know what happens in his inner world.

 

[The Alchemist]

Am I the only one who thinks that he puts some of these things on Central just to read Solo for our reactions; in a way.. connecting with us? I can't help but wonder. I sometimes think he is among us here on this site, also making posts, perhaps just as an anonymous.
