[[File:James Moffat.png | 200px | right | thumb |James Moffat]] ==Relevance== Moffat used the pen name "Richard Allen".<br> His book "Suedehead" is suggested as an inspiration:<br> <blockquote> Len: "For starters, surely 'Suedehead' has something to do with Richard Allen's pre-punk seminal trash novel of the same name? Yet there's no mention of suedehead(s) in the lyrics?" M: "No, I'd noticed that. Does the song have anything to do with the title? Well, I did happen to read the book when it came out and I was quite interested in the whole Richard Allen cult. But really I just like the word 'suedehead'." Len: "So it's not even based on an episode from Suedehead?" M: "No, not really." Len: "And it's not about anyone in particular?" M: "Yes, it is, but I'd rather not give any addresses and phone numbers at this stage." </blockquote> Excerpt from the Len Brown Morrissey interview in NME (February, 1988) [[Category:Influences on Morrissey - Literature]]
