  • did a great job defending Morrissey, saying Moz "smells like an icon." How very true :D

    Interesting how even the critic who can't stand Morrissey likes YOR.

    If Moz did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
  • After the critic (whatever the hell his name is) said that Years of Refusal was one of the first times Morrissey has shown some humor, I shut it off. Come on: NPR could at least have some one on that has listened to Morrissey's music.
