Lovely article about Moz, who apparently has little reason to be miserable:

Morrissey does NOT spell Misery... (Score:1)
I've seen Morrissey sing many times, and I've yet to hear him "bawl," or "howl." Also, even though the journalist does somewhat defend Morrissey against the NME's slander, he only does so by making the larger statement that artists ought not be expected to both make great art and hold political positions that please their fans. In other words the writer basically accepts the NME's over-simplified, purposefully inflammatory, and downright silly interpretation of Morrissey's words.
He concludes by saying that perhaps we ought to thank the NME for giving Morrissey a new battle wound to brandish as, "Morrissey lives off frustration, gloom, anger and paranoia," and not off of "chart-topping albums, peer acclaim and sold-out live residencies."
I find it troubing indeed that even when writers attempt to represent Morrissey positively, their words and ideas mostly remain stuck in the mire of the Morrissey miserabilism myth.
It's really laughable...ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha––
(Actually it's enough to make a grown man cry...)
