So not only it's "a proven fact" that Jake Walters was Morrissey's "squeeze", but Peter Hogg is a "long term rent boy" because Morrissey referred to him as 'a rent-a-chap' in the Kill Uncle tourbook?! Some people really don't get Morrissey's sense of humour. So I suppose Morrissey would announce to the world that he's having a sexual relationship with someone - by calling that person a 'rent-a-chap'? Yeah, that's really believable... When I believe that, then I'll also believe that gossip from some person on this forum that he has wife and kids hidden somewhere and that it all came to light during the court case hearing!I was somewhat disturbed by what seems like the revolving door that is his love/social life. Other than Linder and James Maker who are 'soulmates' for eternity, the latest squeeze is always replaceable, be it Jake Walters, or long term rent boy Peter Hogg etc etc.
Whoever is around has to contend with an army of substitutes should they get the big push off. And though he has made resolute attempts in the past not to live the rawk&roll cliched lifestyle isn't it ironic that he allegedly smashed up a hotel room on one occasion and has been rude, cruel and mercenary with ex friends/ex associates/his former musicians?
A genius he maybe, but one that is beautifully flawed and very human.
I wasn't familar with that quote about Rogan, but I know that Morrissey's statement that Johnny Rogan should die in motorway pileup came even before the book was published, and after it was, he dissed "Severed Alliance" in interviews at the time when, by his own admission, he hadn't even read one page from the book.This book and Bret's previous Morrissey "bio," Landscapes of the Mind, should be read with a fair amount of skepticism. Whatever one says about Johnny Rogan's methods/opinions, he exhaustively logs his sources. Bret often uses hearsay but prints them like substantive quotes. Also, whatever your beliefs on Morrissey's sexuality or however (ir)relevant you deem it to be, Bret goes to frankly ridiculous extremes to find ways to "out" him. For example, he blatantly misquotes the first line of "I'd Love To" as "Gay, I lay awake..." when it is clearly "again" that he is singing. (And the lyric has been published before,too, so it's not a matter of dispute.)
I think Morrissey was referring to Rogan when he was quoted as saying he was rummaging through his "dustbin for evidence of lesbianism." He would have been more accurate in applying that witticism to David Bret.
Nice pictures in both books, mind, but the writing and research is fit for your average litterbox/birdcage.

I prefered "Saint Morrissey".
