"It is often a relief to be wrong" is among the more startling declarations in the autobiography of the singer-songwriter and founder of the Smiths - Morrissey. Culture and Digital Editor Paul Mason reports.

I've read Moz"s autobiography and I didn't see any self-pity but an accurate description. And a very gifted pen.

It was good, until the last third. I have no interest in his disputes with the Smiths. Just banging on for a hundred pages was tedious.

His autobiography is a very good book and Morrissey narrates his life superbly. He is a quality human being.

@osbournerudock8587 6 жыл бұрын

Booji Boy Total bullshit. Marr wrote the music, without which there would have been no Smiths songs - just words, and very likely no one would have heard of Morrissey. Likewise, if Marr had never met Morrissey then possibly he would just be a very successful session musician. What made Smiths so special was the combination of Moz's lyrics and Marr's music - one of the most fortuitous writing partnerships in history. To say that either one 'was the Smiths' is utterly moronic.

They actually carried on for a while. Andy Mike and Craig Gannon play on 2 of the first singles Morrissey as a solo artist put out. Last of the international playboys and Interesting Drug. They also played the first Morrissey solo gig at Wolverhampton on 23rd December 1988. Morrissey then moved on and went from strength to strength whilst Johnny joined The The.
