Morrissey

Steven Patrick Morrissey (born 22 May 1959), commonly known by his last name, Morrissey, or by his nicknames, Moz or Mozza, is a British singer, lyricist, and author. He rose to prominence as the lyricist and vocalist of the indie rock band The Smiths, which was active from 1982 to 1987. Since then, Morrissey has had a solo career, making the top ten of the UK Singles Chart on ten occasions.

Born in Davyhulme, Lancashire to a working-class Irish migrant family, Morrissey grew up in Manchester. As a child he developed a love of literature, kitchen sink realism, and popular music. Involved in Manchester's punk rock scene during the late 1970s, he fronted two punk bands, The Nosebleeds and Slaughter & The Dogs, with little success. Beginning a career in music journalism, he authored a number of books on music and film in the early 1980s. With Johnny Marr he established The Smiths in 1982, soon attracting national attention for their self-titled debut album. As the band's frontman, Morrissey attracted attention both for his intelligent, witty, and sardonic lyrics and his idiosyncratic appearance; deliberately avoiding rock machismo, he cultivated the aesthetic of a social outsider who eschewed drugs and embraced celibacy. The Smiths released five further albums – including the critically acclaimed Meat is Murder and The Queen is Dead – and had a string of hit singles. Personal differences between Morrissey and Marr resulted in The Smiths' separation in 1987.

    Famous quotes by Morrissey:

    "I believe in freedom of speech and in artistic freedom, ... I also believe in the expression of someone's truth. I never thought we would have to justify shows like 'Gypsy' and 'Grease.'"
    "I am not trying to titillate, make a statement or insult someone's values by presenting those shows,"
    "We surveyed attendance at 'Grease' over one weekend and of the 500 people who came to see the show 400 were from out-of-town,"
    "At least 50 percent of those attending the two shows said it was their first visit to the theater."
    "When you talk to a patient and they say 'God,' they can have a very different meaning than the one the doctor or medical student might have. We all have to be aware of this. There is absolutely no place for proselytizing a particular religious belief system in the practice of medicine."
    "Even those odds seem a bit short to me,"
    "Time will tell, ... If the district has a plan that makes sense to them, then I respect whatever decision they make. But I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't raise these concerns."
    "It feels great just to know that we helped,"
    "We do not see a place for them. We believe the job of securing the borders should be done by professional law enforcement."
    "I've got news for them, ... We're not simply going to maintain, we're going to exceed what we've done. Our best days are ahead of us."

    Interlude

    by: Morrissey

    Time is like a dream
    And now for a time you are mine
    Let's hold fast to the dream
    That tastes and sparkles like wine
    Who knows if it's real
    Or just something we're both dreaming of
    What seems like an interlude now
    Could be the beginning of love
    Loving you is a world that's strange
    So much more than my heart can hold
    Loving you makes the whole world change
    Loving you I could not grow old
    No, nobody knows when love will end
    So till then, sweet friend
    Time is like a dream
    And now for a time you are mine
    Let's hold fast to the dream
    That tastes and sparkles like wine
    Who knows if it's real
    Or just something we're both dreaming of
    What seems like an interlude now
    Could be the beginning of love
    What seems like an interlude now
    Could be the beginning of love
    What seems like an interlude now
