Strange/unexpected Moz references?

I may have heard this wrong, but I believe Richard Blade plans to feature M on "Forget Me Not Friday," which happens each Friday at 6 (Eastern). It will not be anything new or live; Blade usually just talks some and plays a (nearly) forgotten track. It may not be all that "strange and unexpected" to hear M on 1st Wave, but I just thought I would pass it along. 💞

Richard Blade… reminds me of my days on the drag circuit as Dick Poke…
 
A small local cinema showed "Rebel without a cause" yesterday as an old 35 mm copy on a historical machine. Even though perhaps everyone here was already aware of it, I was still very impressed by how many references Morrissey has used in his career. Whether it's the dyed red jacket of the Bona Drag cover, the desire for belonging to a gang/real friends, the photo sessions at the Griffith observatory 1994, the vintage jeans and the old bolides. In my opinion, even the torn outsider figure of Jim Stark himself disposes of Morrissey to a certain extent. Fascinating stuff.

Morrissey's martyrdom knows no bounds

Morrissey seems to take delight in presenting himself as a wronged and put-upon figure, cast down by the iniquities of society.

Extract:

Personally, I suspect that Morrissey thrives on throwing verbal hand grenades into the mix and watching the fallout with wry amusement. It suits his persona to see himself as a martyred figure, a St Sebastian for the iPhone age. Ever since he sang ‘And now I know how Joan of Arc felt’ on the Smiths song ‘Bigmouth Strikes Again’, he has self-consciously taken up the mantle of the public sufferer, fated never to be understood by those around him.

Still, there is one further controversy that he has yet to get embroiled in. Morrissey has been fervent in his loathing of the royal family – not for nothing was the Smiths’ most famous album called The Queen is Dead. It would not be all that surprising if he was to take the side of another expatriate Englishman who is rather more popular overseas than at home. Montecito is calling, Morrissey: can he resist its charms?

I presume they are alluding to Prince Harry.

The latest Morrissey Marr dustup is talked about in the latest "Word In Your Ear" podcast.

They speak on the news of the trademarking of the Smiths name (and the difficulty and costs of protecting the name), the live touring performances news, the sacking of Morrissey's management, Bonfire of the Teenagers, Rick Astley being the Smiths... They intimate that Morrissey is a speaker of untruths, and that Morrissey and Marr would make a good fantasy Odd Couple tragi-comedy: Morrissey and Marr in a thin-skinned middle-aged flat share.

A better listen than my summary.


starts at about the 9:00 minute mark through 19:00

Thanks, very funny and insightful about Morrissey and his love of controversy: "The truth is given the choice of a course of action and making a fuss around a course of action, Morrissey will choose the latter option in absolutely every case."
