The 2011 session version of ‘Action Is My Middle Name’ is - for me anyway, at least - one of the last truly great post-Smiths recordings Morrissey did. It sounds fresher and less cluttered than the studio one. Thanks, Janice. ❤️✨
Gone just too soon. She played a considerable part in Morrissey’s Second Coming, interviewing him on BBC Radio 2 in October 2002. On the strength of that interview, I bought a ticket to the Bonfire Night gig at Brixton Academy. This still remains my favourite Moz concert ever, with The...
Of the 3 from that 2011 session, this was the best one by miles. No stupid sound effects, just a rock-solid melody with excellent lyrics to match. For me, it’s very much one of his best songs of the last 10 years or so. I prefer this to the studio version.
Sadly, he chose to press the career...
Why, thank you! So glad to see a nerve’s been touched. Yours. This is a free speech site. Something you are clearly oblivious to. That an opinion different to your own so enrages you is a clear and definitive measure of the fragility that’s clearly your own. ;)❤️
Too many Mozheads will forgive him anything. Let’s be honest. And their idol plays ‘em like fiddles repeatedly….because he knows he can and he will be excused by ‘em time and again. Do I lie?
Morrissey couldn’t care less. Let’s be honest about this. One could feel sympathy for his new management, but their client has previous a-plenty. They knew fully well what they were taking on when they chose to represent him.

Bought for £1.99 at Holloway Road ‘Our Price’ in 1995. Transitional times. ‘Mister Byrite had presence. Now found on my stack of cd’s - still loved and never ever for sale.
This is what happens when certain individuals attempt to be “edgy”, only to reveal who they truly are, @Verso. So very pitiful, so totally them all over. And if it’s Morrissey sporting lipstick, so what?
‘Bengali’? Unlikely. Never played live, as far as I know. He probably would play it to appear “edgy”. But who’s to say he wouldn’t dare now, even he would see it as a step too far.
Looking back now, if he’d have kept his nerve - as well as the personnel and producer, he’d have surpassed...
Best Smiths album: ‘Strangeways….’ (Captures the band in a state of transition, giving a tantalising glimpse of “What if?” had Johnny not jumped ship after doing a Cilla Black cover).
Best Smiths compilation: ‘The World Won’t Listen’ (I’ll admit to my bias, as I bought it as a 19th Birthday...
