Satellite of Love didn't feature in yesterday's Top 40 (or Top 200 come to that) chart, despite the fact that I played it non stop all week. It would have no doubt have charted if the 7" and 12" vinyl versions had been released at the same time, but they aren't coming out until the end of January. Actually, I doubt sales of actual records count towards chart positions anymore! The charts is dead.


3 TRACK 7" AVAILABLE FROM 27/1/14 AT £8.99 AND 4 TRACK 12" AT £6.99


Meanwhile, back in MorrisseysWorld, the MW blog has gone quiet, with nothing new added since November 24th. I wasn't going to write a blog entry, as I am only really here to report on my MW findings, but there are many 'Spin-offs' from MorrisseysWorld, including a number of what I believe to be, Morrissey's heteronyms, or 'Pessoa's' as I have often referred to them.


One such heteronym is Kate Ryan aka Doolally Dolly (@DollyWilde on twitter) who has been on the tweet rampage for a number of days now, and despite her tweets being fantastically off the wall, I'm wondering if some of the ramblings are a clue as to what is coming in Oslo on Wednesday. I also can't help thinking that, just like Fernando Pessoa's heteronyms, Doolally Dolly might actually be writing a play!

Here, once again (as I'm sure I've published this before), is how Pessoa himself described some of his heteronyms:

Fernando Pessoa on the heteronyms

« How do I write in the name of these three? Caeiro, through sheer and unexpected inspiration, without knowing or even suspecting that I’m going to write in his name. Ricardo Reis, after an abstract meditation, which suddenly takes concrete shape in an ode. Campos, when I feel a sudden impulse to write and don’t know what. (My semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares, who in many ways resembles Álvaro de Campos, always appears when I'm sleepy or drowsy, so that my qualities of inhibition and rational thought are suspended; his prose is an endless reverie. He’s a semi-heteronym because his personality, although not my own, doesn’t differ from my own but is a mere mutilation of it. He’s me without my rationalism and emotions. His prose is the same as mine, except for certain formal restraint that reason imposes on my own writing, and his Portuguese is exactly the same – whereas Caeiro writes bad Portuguese, Campos writes it reasonably well but with mistakes such as "me myself" instead of "I myself", etc.., and Reis writes better than I, but with a purism I find excessive...). »

— Fernando Pessoa, "Letter to Adolfo Casais Monteiro", 13.01.1935, translated by Richard Zenith

Two other 'characters' have tweeted today, '@Mozzerie-Guts', for the first time since June, and '@FadingGoldLeaf' aka Astraea, who tends to post superb Youtube offerings. Mozzerie offered this solitary tweet:

Mozzerie-Guts ‏@MozzerieGuts10h

Remember when I was alive? (On second thought, I beg you not to answer that scrap of a question.)

Astraea meanwhile tweeted Youtube footage of 'Janitor of Lunacy' (Live at Le Bataclan in Paris from 1972) by Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico (See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojy3mWioeVU)





Last week, Astraea posted footage of Italian singer, Mina, just after Romina had left comment on my blog about Mina. Hmmm. (Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_tX7Ey_UC0)

My favourite offering from Astraea, has been this wonderful song by Priscilla Paris, called Stone Is Very, Very Cold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdP4vIpLfHs

Some people follow MorrisseysWorld because they believe it is Morrissey, whilst others don't care if it is Moz or not, they just like it. Some used to follow MW because they liked the humour, but then ditched it because they didn't like Log Lady, the 'O's, and some other things that challenged them.....Oh, and there was Houstongate, which really sorted the cupcakes from the clam.

CUPCAKE - A WORD USED IN BOTH MORRISSEY'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY & THE FAKE INTERVIEW WITH FTM....HMM


Although there is no doubt in my mind that MW is Moz, it actually doesn't matter to me who it is, the blog is just extremely enjoyable, and the spin-offs that have come from it are just as fascinating, particularly the Blue Rose Society, but also the 'characters' that have appeared throughout the whole journey.

Two such 'characters', or 'lumps' (as I have decided to affectionately refer to them today) are Mozzerie Guts and Astraea, both of whom I mentioned yesterday. These two lumps are the bees knees, and let's face it, this earth needs bees, and particularly their knees.


ASTRAEA - DAUGHTER OF ZEUS - AKA GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA AND A DEER


Astraea is like the old 'Spirit of Nico' aka @DotDotDotPause (a characterthat graced this story some time ago, and then disappeared), and has been posting some unbelievably good songs from Youtube, where as Mozzerie tends to offer syrupy words. A number of people believe that these two characters are both Morrissey, but as to whether they are or not is irrelevant, they have something to give, and an audience who want to receive.

 Astraea in particular is introducing me to songs (and singers) that I have never heard before, and when you hear a song like 'Stone is Very, Very Cold' for the first time, it gives a buzz that is no different to the excitement one had as a teenager hearing an outstanding new song for the first time. Yesterday Astraea posted the following, all of which I am not too embarrassed to admit, I had NEVER, EVER heard before:

Je Me Donne A Qui Me Plait by Brigit Bardot

A couple of songs by Mamie Van Doren 

Farewell by Ayshea 

Teach Me Tiger by April Stevens

That Makes It by Jayne Mansfield

Let Me Entertain You by Ann Margret

GOBSMACKINGLY GOOD



AYSHEA


Hopefully both Astraea and Mozzerie Guts will continue to entertain and educate.

Meanwhile, the following was yesterday posted anonymously on my blog entry of  October 29th, entitled 'I Smell A Rat'.

And tomorrow, I shall invite my readers to choose the three songs that they think Moz should/will sing tomorrow in OslO.

Tonight, Morrissey will walk onto the stage for the first time since March 8th in Portland, where ironically, the last song he sang was Still Ill. Tonight's concert is the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo, and we are informed that Morrissey will be singing three songs.

Drummer, Matt Walker is back in the band, having eventually arrived in Oslo after a delayed journey from Chicago via Twitter! He yesterday tweeted that all was going well:

matthew walker ‏@mwBATTERY18h

dress rehearsal for nobel peace prize performance, it's all comin back and feels good...

There has been no leaks as to which three songs are being sung, so I would like to invite my readers to predict what will be played, or what they would like to see played. I have decided to make the following predictions, and if NONE of my predictions are correct, this blog will close. I can also reveal that FTM has received NO hits from Norway, so if  Morrissey has previously been reading my blog, he certainly hasn't been this week. FTM is dead, and only one of the following, tonight in OslO, will bring it back from the dead:

1. Morrissey to wear a rose (colour unimportant)
2. Morrissey to sing a new version of November Spawned a Monster
3. Morrissey to sing Lazy Sunbathers
4. Morrissey to make an 'O' sign with his thumb and index finger
5. Morrissey to sing Meat is Murder
6. Morrissey to not sing at all

If NONE of the above happen, this blog will close.

If the c*** closes his blog, I'll eat my own bo*****s. No, no, no - it isn't going to happen. Meat is Murder and Scandinavia would certainly have a certain high camp aesthetic, in the circumstances, of course... but... no, not both of them - surely?

Boz...! Boz....! Boz, get your fat a**e up here this instant!

So, FTM has been saved, but the MorrisseysWorld blog has once again closed, all versions of Autobiography have now been published, there are no more concert appearances in the offing, and no book signings announced.... so, NOW what?

The MorrisseysWorld blog has made a swift return, although there is no new content, and no sign of the promised parody about the documentary. It is my guess, that the MW blog has only returned so that people can use it's chat room; as nobody tends to go there if the blog isn't attached to it, and Our Mozzer might be planning a good old fashioned lonely christmas, with just virtual friends/fans to keep him company in his bedsit.


BOZ BOORER DECORATES THE MW BEDSIT, BEFORE BEING ASKED TO LEAVE


Aside from MorrisseysWorld, the grey flannel trousers that Morrissey wore in OslO have caused a storm amongst his fans.



TROUSER STORM


Nobody seems to know WHY Morrissey chose to wear them, but JJazmineMoz has posted this on twitter:

ⓜⓞⓡⓡⓘⓩⓩⓨ ‏@JJazmineMoz8h

am I deluded? or what? @chucknorrissey@LizzyCatMoz@TheRatsBackpic.twitter.com/iyDeRFT1ap

Apparently, the above conversation about baggy trousers took place in the MW chat room on November 24th. Surely just a genuine coincidence, after all, they weren't trousers that hung half way down his backside, they were genuine flared slacks! Surely Moz is just being a trend setter, SURELY!




AVAILABLE FROM ALL GOOD HIGH STREET STORES


Apart from Trousergate, all is quiet in MozWorld, although Doolally Dolly has been on the tweet rampage again. I STILL don't know what to make of her, but most of the other members of the 'Deluded Dozen' have lost interest in her. Despite her tweets being absolute random twaddle, I can't
help but remember that she was one of the first to discover MW, and seemed VERY sane back then, but this screenshot tweet today offers nothing but further confusion. Is that a hidden picture of people in grey trousers, just below the word Britney, near the top?


DOLLY'S SCREEN SHOT

Anyway, I don't want to blog for the sake of blogging, so I will now disappear until something happens. GWO has suggested a pantomime, so perhaps I will write one. How about a Following The Mozziah panto, where strangers meet, looking for The Mozziah, and instead of following a yellow brick road, or a star, they are led by a black cloud. Hmm, I think I'll get started on it.

ACT 1 - SCENE 1




(A man staggers in the dark on a completely black stage, with just a spot light on him)

TRB: (Talking to audience) Where am I? How have I ended up here?

(A male, Irish voice comes from the dark)

LOUGHTON LIL: Hello, is anybody there?

(The man comes from the dark and joins the first man under the spotlight)

TRB: I thought I was alone. I'm The Rats Back, pleased to meet you. (The pair shake hands)

LOUGHTON: It's grand to meet you too, so it is. Me name's John, but in here I'd like to be known as Loughton Lil. Why are yee called The Rats Back?

TRB: It's because of my hunched, hairy back. People say it's like a rat's back. To make matters worse, I live in a bedsit on the Isle of Wight.

LOUGHTON: Jeesus, you got it bad. A typical Morrissey fan, well, a typical Smiths fan at least. Yes, I can see the hunch now you mention it. Fook me, yer loike Quasi frigging modo. Ne'er moind, it doesn't matter what you look loike in here.

THE RATS BACK


LOUGHTON LIL

TRB: And where exactly is "in here"?

LOUGHTON: Well the soigns I was following said it was MorrisseysWorld.

TRB: Well the signs I saw, were showing MorrisseysWorld to be in the other direction, but something told me to ignore them, and take the opposite route.

LOUGHTON: Aye, they were the same soigns I saw, but I just presumed some fooker had turned them around. That happens a lot from where I come from. Bastards. Anyway, do you think he might be here then? Morrissey, I mean.

TRB: Well, I think so, but it's so dark in here, how are we ever going to find our way, and are we the only two to be following the Mozziah?

LOUGHTON: "Following the Mozziah". I loike that.

(There is a crash of thunder and a flash of lightning, and a skinny man in a pair of jack boots, braces and a cape appears from nowhere) (The audience boo)

SKINNY: (Booming voice) You fools, you bell ended, cretinous fools. Those sign posts hadn't been tampered with, they were purposely pointing the other way. There is nothing worth seeing here. Turn back now, before it is too late.

(There is another flash and crash and Skinny disappears)

(TRB is just about to talk to Loughton when there is yet another crash and flash, and Skinny returns.) (The audience boo)

SKINNY: Did I mention that you are bell ends?

LOUGHTON: Yes, yes you did.

SKINNY: That's alright then.

(There is another flash and crash, and he is gone again)



THE RATS BACK COWERS ON THE FLOOR AT THE FEET OF SKINNY

LOUGHTON: What are you doing on the floor Rats? Get up.

TRB: I was, er, I was just looking for a contact lens. (starts to get up) He was scary wasn't he? So much anger. Do you think he's right, do you think we've misread the signs?

LOUGHTON: Oi've no idea, but now that we're here, we may as well see what we can see. What was it you said, 'Following the Mozziah'.

(Music starts up. Loughton Lil and TRB link arms and skip around the stage in a particularly mincing style, whilst singing the song 'Following the Mozziah')

LOUGHTON & TRB: (Singing)

We were surfing on our laptops
There was nothing much ado
When we stumbled on a Mozzer site
Entitled True To You

We read the three denials
But thought something weren't quite right
So we probed a little further
And now we've taken flight...

CHORUS

We're Following the Mozziah
Following the Mozziah
Things could be a whole lot worse
It could be Alagiah

We're Following the Mozziah
Following the Mozziah
And if it isn't him we've found
Then some cunt's a good liar


(The song finishes)

LOUGHTON: I can hear a noise coming from just over there (points to stage left).

TRB: It sounds like voices, and I think I can hear music. If I close my eyes (TRB closes his eyes), I can see a pub.

LOUGHTON: Yes, so can I. (closes his eyes) It's a traditional English pub. Can you make out the name? Close your eyes real tight, it will make it clearer.

TRB: (squeezes eyes tighter shut) Yes, it's all becoming very clear, it's called The Twitterdilly Arms.

 (A pub suddenly appears at the side of the stage)




LOUGHTON: Come on, let's head inside, it would appear that we aren't alone in this here, MorrisseysWorld.

(Music starts up again, Loughton & TRB link arms, and skip towards the pub, singing)

LOUGHTON & TRB:

We're Following the Mozziah

Following the Mozziah

Things could be a whole lot worse

It could be Alagiah

We're Following the Mozziah

Following the Mozziah

And if it isn't him we've found

Then some cunt's a good liar

(The curtain falls and some of the audience throw roses. TRB pokes his head through the curtains)

TRB: Not yet you fools, the roses come at the end.

Today, I was going to write the next part of my pantomime, but it would take a lot of hard work, and to be honest, for a readership of just twelve people, I can't be bothered! All twelve of my readers know the story anyway, so they can make up the rest of the pantomime in their heads, which will be far more exciting anyway.

I have decided that whilst everything has gone quiet on the Morrissey front, I am going to put this blog thing of mine to bed. It has taken over my life for the past two years, and although I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey, I find that it is like living another life, which leads me nicely onto this:

I would like to share with my twelve readers a theory about MorrisseysWorld. It is not my theory, but that of one of the more intellectual members of the Deluded Dozen:

"I happened to read that November Spawned a Monster was inspired by Les Chants de Maldoror, a poetic novel that inspired the surrealist movement. 'Sleep on and dream of love' supposedly comes from the passage which concludes with, 'sleep on, hermaphrodite, awaken not, I implore you.' The importance of this work to surrealism made me think of David Lynch, who's considered a surrealist filmmaker, and thus the Twin Peaks/MorrisseysWorld connection. Lynch often talks about the blurring of lines between fake and real, a central characteristic of surrealism.

Another link to Morrissey, MorrisseysWorld and surrealism is the fascinating film by Orson Welles called 'F for Fake', where Welles completely toys with the viewer, making it unclear what is real and fake. 'I started at the top and worked my way down' from 'Now I Am a Was' comes from the Welles film, so Moz is apparently familiar with it.





A literary movement associated with surrealism is the Theatre of the Absurd, which includes Samuel Beckett, whom Moz has been compared to. This literary style is obviously characterized by absurdity and often uses nonsense speech because surrealism values the subconscious/dreamworld and irrationality. If Kate Ryan is one of Morrissey's characters, she would be the nonsense/irrational representation of the subconscious to play with our notion of reality. If you notice, she often tweets about reality and truth."

One of the Deluded Dozen
December 2013


If the author of the above wishes to put their name to it in the comments section below, then please do so. The theory seems a perfectly logical one to me. I have to admit that I'd never heard of the Theatre of the Absurd, but then again, why would I have, I don't read! Oh, my poor education. For anybody interested, I googled the Theatre of the Absurd (which to me sounds like a Monty Python sketch):

The Theatre of the Absurd (French: Théâtre de l'Absurde) is a designation for particular plays of absurdist fiction written by a number of primarily European playwrights in the late 1950s, as well as one for the style of theatre which has evolved from their work. Their work expressed the belief that human existence has no meaning or purpose and therefore all communication breaks down. Logical construction and argument gives way to irrational and illogical speech and to its ultimate conclusion, silence.^[1]

Critic Martin Esslin coined the term in his 1960 essay "Theatre of the Absurd." He related these plays based on a broad theme of the Absurd, similar to the way Albert Camus uses the term in his 1942 essay, "The Myth of Sisyphus".^[2] The Absurd in these plays takes the form of man’s reaction to a world apparently without meaning, and/or man as a puppet controlled or menaced by invisible outside forces. Though the term is applied to a wide range of plays, some characteristics coincide in many of the plays: broad comedy, often similar to Vaudeville, mixed with horrific or tragic images; characters caught in hopeless situations forced to do repetitive or meaningless actions; dialogue full of clichés, wordplay, and nonsense; plots that are cyclical or absurdly expansive; either a parody or dismissal of realism and the concept of the "well-made play".

Playwrights commonly associated with the Theatre of the Absurd include Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, Jean Genet, Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard, Friedrich Dürrenmatt,Alejandro Jodorowsky, Fernando Arrabal, Václav Havel and Edward Albee.

And finally, Morrissey was photographed in London's Claridge Hotel on Saturday with a group of lads from the isle of Wight. Noel Gallagher was spotted in Claridge's too. Perhaps it was a Freemason meeting!

My umpteenth threat to close down my semi-mesmerizing, 'Daily Star like' blog, has worked... THE MOZZIAH IS BACK... AGAIN!

Morrissey16 December 2013 22:21

You won't be able to resist, my rodent friend - not now I've given you more free publicity on my widely-read and semi-widely respected mesmerizing Blog thing. You'll be back tomorrow before the sun sets. And I shall smile and flip a coin.

Our Mozzer

The "free publicity" of which Our Mozzer writes, is a new parody piece on MorrisseysWorld.blogspot.com, entitled 'Morrissey at the Nobel Peace Prize, Oslo, 2013'. The piece sees Our Mozzer back to his parody writing best, picking on the likes of Marcus Markou, me, Boz Boorer, Morrissey, Broken, Michael Bracewell, Judge Weeks, Nigel Davis, Jesse Tobias, Matt Walker, Solomon Walker, LizzyCat, EARS.... well, EVERYBODY really! The best line is saved for Solow, with the great quote of, "It's twats moderating bastards on behalf of a cunt."


SOME SMILING BLOKE AND A CUNT

AND WITH THE SMILE GONE


Apart from Our Mozzer posting a comment on my blog, there was also a rather interesting comment left by 'Fifi', who a number of the Deluded Dozen believe to be Morrissey ...well we would, wouldn't we. Fifi's comment would seem to back up HeatherCat's surrealist theory of yesterday. Fifi writes, "Saying Morrissey and Absurde are linked is an understatement." Here is her(?) full comment:

Anonymous16 December 2013 21:26

Jean Genet was a prominent and controversial French novelist, playwright, poet, essayist, and political activist.
He directed the movie "Un chant d'amour" (A song of love) in 1950.
Because of its explicit (though artistically presented) homosexual content, the 26-minute movie was long banned and even disowned by Genet later in his life.
Un chant d'amour was quoted by Morrissey as being one of his favourite movies.
And yes, Genet wrote "theatre de l'absurde" plays and is part of the movement.
Saying Morrissey and "Absurde" are linked is an understatement.
You could also read this. It compares Genet and Morrissey in Jean-Paul Sartre's paean "Saint Genet". An interesting read. http://www.sfbg.com/38/27/lit_morrissey.html
There would be a lot to say about this and I will leave it to that.
If you want to find out more, you should wander to some obscure Parisian theatres on some cold nights. Absurde plays are not the most sought after plays these days, but you might meet a gentle soul who will convince you that life is better lived absurdly.
When I lose this concept, I know where to find him and he knows where to find me.
Good luck with whatever is next on the cards for you, Rat. Sail on, we will be waiting on the docks for your return.
"Oh the big ship sailed on the alley alley oh..." you know the song...

On your way to your new absurd world, drop your anchor at the Isle, make your way to Robin Hill. Johnny Marr will be there, I will be there and maybe good old friends will be there too. Who knows. I sure don't, I am only deluded.

Fifi xx

JEAN GENET

Fifi's Genet/Morrissey link is EXTREMELY interesting. I cannot believe how much this whole MW phenomenon has taught me. 'Un chant d'amour'/'Jean Genie': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCsOyDbUoE8

Also of extreme interest is Fifi's final paragraph:

"On your way to your new absurd world, drop your anchor at the Isle, make your way to Robin Hill. Johnny Marr will be there, I will be there and maybe good old friends will be there too."



 If this isn't a wind up, it can only mean one thing. Robin Hill is a Country Park on the Isle of Wight, but every September, for a five day period, it is taken over by Rob da Bank for 'Bestival'. Could Fifi possibly be telling us that Morrissey, Marr, and perhaps Noel Gallagher are going to play together? Gallagher is a friend of Johnny's and has recently been seen with Morrissey and Russell Brand. Morrissey and Gallagher were also both at Claridge's last Saturday. As I type this, it's starting to sound less far fetched than one might imagine. How about a 'Secret Headlining Supergroup' at next years Bestival? The band doesn't even need to have a name. No posters. No publicity. Morrissey/Marr/Gallagher/Boorer/Some old drummer.... close your eyes, and it just might happen.





And if I am wrong about Bestival, then there is always Adam Ant playing songs from Dirk Wears White Sox at Shanklin Theatre on March 29th.






And finally, one of the Deluded Dozen is showing a bit of desertion in the ranks. The omission of Morrissey's relationship with Jake Walters from the American edition of Autobiography, saw Romina take to twitter to vent her anger, and she has followed it up by accusing Morrissey of hating women and being boring. Here is Romina's comment from my blog entry of yesterday:

romina17 December 2013 12:12

Thank you Rat, your post is very interesting! It's truly positive give attention to Morrissey's lyrics using classic literature gems, but sadly I think the men himself will not apreciate. I think he desires only having the same old gossip around him he's still playing like an half naked woman on a calendar who moaning:"Oh people think about me just like a sexual object..." And God only knows how much he hates women. An italian journalist wrote it better than me comparing Morrissey to our beloved Nanni Moretti playing in his second movie saying his most famous punch:" They will notice me more if I don't go to the party or if I go and stay all alone in a corner without saying a word?" In these days I can't imagine nothing more boring than Morrissey, sorry!

And now I must 'Anchors Aweigh', and sail my ship.

It wasn't until 2005 that David Bowie confirmed that his 1972 single, Jean Genie was a "clumsy pun" on the name Jean Genet, but I have NO doubt that Morrissey had worked it out way before 2005. I spent some time yesterday reading about Genet, who it transpires spent periods of his life as a vagabond, petty thief and prostitute. You could say, Genet led the 'low-life', 'walking the(se) streets'.

A YOUNG JEAN GENET - LIVING THE LOW-LIFE IN PARIS

In his mid thirties, Genet sought out and befriended Jean Cocteau, another French writer, who although didn't live such an apparent 'low-life', was a prominent drug user. Cocteau had a twenty five year relationship with another Jean, Jean Marais, the cover star of The Smiths single This Charming Man/Jeane. 

COCTEAU AND MARAIS

The reason I am writing this, is because last night, as I slept in my bed, it suddenly struck me that Jean Genet was the subject matter of the Smiths song Jeane, although in theory, it could also be about Cocteau or Marais, but the line "the low-life has lost it's appeal" made me more inclined to think of Genet. I presume an 'e' was tagged onto Jean to make it look as though the subject was a female.

 This morning, I rushed to find my copy of Mozipedia to find out if I was right about Genet being the influence for Jeane, but I discovered that Simon Goddard (the author) had made NO entry whatsoever for Genet, and according to Mozipedia, the song Jeane is about either Linder Sterling or "an obvious by-product of Morrissey's fascination with Shelagh Delaney." Really? I'd be interested in the thoughts of others.

GENET

Yet another MorrisseysWorld article has appeared, this time entitled, 'Announcing the 2014 Tour', although no such tour is actually announced in the article, but I'm sure it means well! The main crux of the new article, is to mention a True-To-You posting from December 3rd, that for some reason has gone pretty unnoticed. Here is the TTY article:

Graffiti/sketch on the wall at the United concourse at Los Angeles Airport (LAX)

3 December 2013

Graffiti/sketch on the wall at the United concourse at Los Angeles Airport (LAX).

The reason that I didn't report on this TTY article when it was posted, is because it appeared on the day that I published the 'Missing Gems from Autobiography' piece. Solow did report the TTY posting, but pretty much brushed over it's relevance, and there were certainly no references by the Solowers to any Blue Roses. My thanks to Fifi, who yesterday posted a video link about the artist, Shizu Saldamando: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srqIYLcUUsk

Also in the latest MW piece are a number of Twin Peaks references, which includes a little bit of Log Lady, who happens to mention the Isle of Wight. Could I be right in what I wrote yesterday? The MW article also states: "When Blue Rose is finally revealed, you will not believe your eyes. It might even change your life." This collage has also been added as the header to the MW site:



THE MORRISSEYSWORLD NEW HOMEPAGE HEADER



All this MW activity, and yet our numbers do not grow. In fact, I can't remember the last time somebody new stumbled across this whole phenomenal story and was inquisitive enough to ask questions. Perhaps it isn't an easy thing to stumble across, perhaps the story has moved on too far for it to make sense. Do the Deluded Dozen actually want all of Morrissey's fans to discover MW, or would they rather keep it/him to themselves?

Anchors aweigh.

When I first discovered the MorrisseysWorld blog, 828 days ago, I started writing this little blog of mine, as my own personal diary. It wasn't aimed at an audience, and in fact, there was no audience, it was just me and my excitement. I woke up one morning to find that the MorrisseysWorld blog had written an article about 'Following The Mozziah', and from that moment on, I DID have an audience, and the audience grew. At one stage, my blog was receiving around 500 hits a day, and many people would leave comment, as the mystery of MorrisseysWorld gripped.

As time passed, my audience dropped away, mainly because the MorrisseysWorld twitter account (which had built up 8,500 followers) closed down, as did the MW blog. Despite MorrisseysWorld disappearing, a dozen or so hardy souls stuck with me as we attempted to keep the MW flame burning.

Periodically, the MorrisseysWorld blog would reappear, and then disappear again. The hardy few, who became known as the 'Deluded Dozen', continued to 'stick in there', and a few more stragglers were picked up along the way as the idea of a Blue Rose Society took hold. When the concerts stopped, interest dwindled in both MorrisseysWorld and my blog, and my audience virtually disappeared.

The ironic thing is, MorrisseysWorld is now BACK, and the story being told is more fascinating than ever. So much is happening that I hardly know where to start today's blog entry, but I am no longer writing for an audience, I am back to writing for myself, and for history; for I do actually believe that what Morrissey is currently sharing with the half a dozen of us who have continued to follow this story on a daily basis, is just as important as the contents of his Autobiography. Autobiography is the story of the flesh, MorrisseysWorld is the story of the mind. I like that....

"Autobiography is the story of Morrissey's flesh, MorrisseysWorld is the story of his mind." - The Rat Dec 2013.


'AN ANGEL LEADING A SOUL INTO HELL' - PAINTED IN THE 16TH CENTURY BY AN UNKNOWN ITALIAN ARTIST IN THE STYLE OF BOSCH - POSTED ON MW YESTERDAY

So, shall I start where I left off yesterday, with the story of Jean Cocteau, or shall I write about the latest MorrisseysWorld offerings? Let me start with four quotes, the first being an Oscar Wilde quote that Our Mozzer has posted on the latest MW article, which incidentally is entitled, "Life is not a destination", the second and third come from Astraea aka '@FadingGoldLeaf'(FGL) on twitter yesterday, and the fourth is from the MW blog three days ago. I should add that Astraea IS, in my deluded opinion, Morrissey.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." - Oscar Wilde

"Alienation from one's self. The search for the authentic self. Changing personae. Loneliness. Aesthetic of excess. Aesthetic of denial." - FGL/Morrissey(?)

"The line between reality, one's art, and the Self. Is it invisible? No. There is none. They are all one and the same." - FGL/Morrissey(?)

"When Blue Rose is finally revealed, you will not believe your eyes. It might even change your life." - Our Mozzer






I suppose I should pick up from where I left off yesterday, with Jean Cocteau. I must confess that until two days ago, I knew nothing about Cocteau, and only knew of his name because of Morrissey. I wrote two days ago about a theory I had, that the song Jeane had been written by Morrissey about Jean Genet, and from there, a much bigger picture has been revealed. First of all, a link was posted on my blog by 'Thoth', of Cocteau's 'Crucifixion' mural in the Church of Notre Dame de France in Leicester Place (just off Leicester Square) London....




.... and then THIS was posted on my blog yesterday morning:

Astraea19 December 2013 08:13

I love this mural. This stunning piece sits in the very heart of London. Yet no one even knows it's there. Thousands of people walk right past it, every single day. A few who knew it was there, have forgotten in the decades since it was first created. And so many others, seem to never have been aware of its existence at all. So this beautiful piece, created with Cocteau's lightest touch, remains hidden to most despite the fact that it is out in the open, and in the beating heart of the city centre. In Soho.

When you walk into the church, you walk into an oasis of silence, serenity, and light. The panels represent the Annunciation, the Crucifixion, and the Assumption.

It is said that as he worked, Cocteau would speak to his characters as he created them. But the mural is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and others recollect that as he came in to work each day, he spoke only to her.

They say Cocteau would arrive every morning, light a candle, and whisper to the Virgin Mary, “O you, most beautiful of women, loveliest of God’s creatures, you were the best loved. So I want you to be my best piece of work too … I am drawing you with light strokes ... You are the yet unfinished work of Grace”.

The mural is referenced in a couple of different books about hidden locations for solitude and reflection. And it is said that Cocteau even commented himself that time seemed to stand still around him here.

Leaving the church once the mural was completed, he was sad and said 'I am sorry to go, it is as if the wall of the chapel had drawn me into another world.’

Cocteau was a deeply complicated man. A complex artist. A tortured soul. Impeded only by what came from within, he was full of life, and life was full. But this life was conflicted, - as he also was - at different stages and during different periods. There was the contradiction and clash of his open bisexuality, juxtaposed against his deep-rooted Catholicism, there was his innate genius, there was his absolutely crippling drug addiction throughout, and then there was the fire from within to create ever more... to express more, to be more…

Themes of deeply conflicting wants and desires, a man's inner suffering, repeating life-long struggles,.. these things all eventually find their way back into any artist's oeuvre, and can often remain a common and pervading thread throughout an individual’s entire artistic canon.

It widely held that Cocteau hid Masonic symbols or messages in his murals. Of note to you all on this blog, is perhaps the fact that Christ is not shown at all in this piece – only his legs and feet are shown, as they weep blood on to a delicate blue rose.

Equally interesting, is the fact that this Church’s very own mission has always been to remain absolutely as anonymous and as unknown as possible.

Of Cocteau’s work on the whole, the most important themes we see repeated are reflection, duality, the desire and need to profoundly understand and know one’s self, and - ANIMALISM.

In France, in the church where Cocteau is buried near his hometown, he also painted the murals on the walls. Indeed he did so in anticipation of his own death, and for his subsequent burial there. So I leave you with the words he chose for his own epitaph, inscribed across a marble slab on the floor of the chapel where he now lies forevermore,

Je reste avec vous

Astraea

The similarities between Cocteau and Morrissey are INCREDIBLE, and apart from the drug addiction, Astraea could actually be describing Morrissey, in fact, if the lyrics of 'Something is Squeezing my Skull' are to be taken literally, then we have the drugs as well!

 For Morrissey fans to truly understand Morrissey's link to Cocteau, this piece by Tracy R. Twyman should be read: http://quintessentialpublications.com/twyman/?page_id=26. Twyman's piece will also help the 'Deluded Dozen' understand why Our Mozzer is interested so much in freemasonary, with the piece about the 'Rosicrucians' (who Wilde was also associated with) being particularly interesting. It is all SO intriguing, and this blog of mine just cannot give justice to the whole phenomenal story.

Two HUGELY intriguing things that Astraea DOESN'T mention above, are: 1) Cocteau's mural was painted in 1959, the year of Morrissey's birth, and 2) Cocteau painted a mysterious letter 'M' on the altar. Now I have NO religious beliefs, I don't believe in phrophets, and I'm not a spiritual person, BUT, Cocteau's Crucifixion has a quite UNBELIEVABLE connection to Morrissey. Of course, most people presume that the 'M' is for 'Mary', but other things ALSO link to Morrissey, including the number '58', which was of course the year Morrissey was conceived. This section from Twyman's piece is interesting:

"(the) letter “M” is mysteriously placed on the altar, directly beneath the scene of the crucifixion. To the left are depicted the dice thrown by the Roman soldiers, who according to the Gospels, cast lots to determine who should get Christ’s clothing after he died. The number of dots that are shown on the dice is fifty-eight, a significant number. The skull of Baphomet, which the Templars and later the Priory of Sion are said to have possessed, was referred to cryptically as “Caput 58M.” 5+8 = 13, and “M” is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet. 

The same statement is being made in Cocteau’s mural at Notre Dame. This statement is further reinforced by the fact that the “M” on the altar is directly below a rose that Cocteau has placed on the cross, precisely beneath Christ’s feet. Not only does that make it a “rose cross”, but the rose is above the initial “M”."

Is that the word 'Rice' written on the foot of the unseen Messiah? Why 'rice'? Was Coctaeu hearing a word in his head? Mor 'rice' ey? I think I'd better stop writing before the delusion goes any further, and anyway, this is out of my comfort zone, as I've said, I don't believe in such things, but one last interesting point, Cocteau signs his piece with three D's... well, it happens a lot 'round here.


(NOTE - THE T_A * IS VANDALISM WHICH HAS NOW BEEN REMOVED)

Right, back to MorrisseysWorld. Two new articles have appeared in the last two days, the most recent being the 'Life is not a destination' piece, in which Our Mozzer has posted a number of pieces of art (including the depiction of hell, which I posted at the top of this page) and a few quotes. The MW site itself has also had a 're-fit', and includes some new pictures, including these:





















The other MW article is a hilarious parody piece entitled, "Morrissey lifts the red curtain", which begins with Morrissey taking afternoon tea with Jonathan Ross and Boz Boorer in "an elegant cafe", before heading into a circle of sycamore trees via a lavatory and fire escape. The red curtain enters the story right at the end, but has yet to be lifted (is this a euphemism?) and the story is set to continue!



In other news, following on from my blog entry of the other day, regarding my Jean Genet theory, and the piece about the Blue Rose art by Shizu Salamando, I received these three comments from 'Fifi' (who I also believe to be Morrissey):

Anonymous18 December 2013 15:22

"I remember asking Johnny once who ['Jeane'] was about. He replied, 'Morrissey's mum probably!'"

- Sandie Shaw

Ah the Jean Cocteau / Marais / Genet triangle! You are getting warmer my dear friend.
I appreciate you thanking me for the video. I hope you liked it.
Shizu met the man and is indeed a big fan. That is not the only Morrissey-inspired art on her portfolio actually.
If you wish to see more, I can show.

"The big ship sails on the last day of September... la la la la la"

This was followed up by this:

Anonymous18 December 2013 17:50

I just don't know how to post photos (not links, actual photos on here), computers are not my thing. I am as clueless about them as Sandy is about the Jeane song! Actually, in that case, Johnny was clueless about it. Or maybe he just knows how to keep secrets.

I can elaborate more about the famous triangle and I will try and do that soon but right now I must go, I must attend a very boring dinner. Hopefully the wine will be good!

Shizu met Him quite a few years ago. In 1998 to be more precise. I have a photo of them both in my archive somewhere.


Fifi

SHIZU



And finally this:

Anonymous19 December 2013 09:10

Day 825 A few words about Jean Genet and the "Théâtre de l'Absurde"
Day 826 Astraea shares truly interesting facts about Jean Cocteau
I predict Jean Marais will be visiting on day 827...
And the triangle will be complete. Unless it is not triangle, but a full circle involving far more than the 3 Jean.

So much beauty and poetry in just one place. This blog is more than what it appears to be.

Don't forget. Life imitates Art.

"Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life"

Fifi xx

There are many interesting things to take from Fifi's comments, including that Moz met Shizu in 1998, and that there is a photo of them together. Perhaps Fifi could post a link to it?

My blog also had a visit from Our Mozzer yesterday, and it would seem that he is slightly perturbed that my semi-mesmerizing blog is getting more attention than his:

Morrissey19 December 2013 12:43

At his vegetarian curry house of choice, Our Mozzer was heard to state between mouthfuls of cauliflower and aubergine tandoori:

"The s**ding thing has more comments than mine. And worse - the intellectual crowd seeming to be spending their time over at the other place these days; the breakup of the Smiths, 9/11, the Iraq war, Alain and Gary showing up late with no apology to a video shoot, finding out Jobriath was already dead when booking Meltdown 2004, the seven years in the wilderness, Weeksy's verdict, Camden Roundhouse-gate, being voted Boy George's favourite tweeter, the death of Larry Grayson: I won't lie - this is right up there, old son. Truly crippling. It's like I hardly even exist. Waiter!... Waiter...! More mango chutney please!"

I should remind Our Mozzer that if he hadn't publicized my blog all those months ago, I would still be here, just typing away to myself... about him!

And now, as it is Christmas, and as I have a family, this blog will not be updated for a while, but if ANYBODY is still reading it, I would love to hear from you, even if you just say hello, and just acknowledge that you are still 'Following The Mozziah' with me.


Did Cocteau see the coming of The Mozziah, and is this what BLUE ROSE is all about?

*Goes off singing* And if you think peace is a common goal, that goes to show how little you know.

I didn't intend to blog again before Christmas, but the whole Cocteau story is so intriguing that I just couldn't help myself, especially as the mysterious Fifi added this comment to my last entry:

Anonymous20 December 2013 20:56

Dear Blog Master, thank you for making my comments such an important part of your posts nowadays.
It makes me feel I still exist, even if it is only somewhere in the virtual world.

I did promise more information on the latest topics but this time of year is not the most ideal to spend time on a computer. I am always surprised when my family members express the need to spend time with me but their wish shall be granted.

I will share some thoughts with you, if you are not too bored with me, when I have some spare time to do so. There is so much to say, so much to show! But how much can be said, how much can be shown? That, I am not sure.

There is an explanation for the M on the Cocteau mural in Soho. The same M can be found on many of his art pieces, in different forms.

One last thing before I go. As it is very much an Art-related blog entry, please let me share with you one of my favourite Cocteau pieces, called Tapestry for Judith and Holopherne.
The naked blue man in the background always looked very familiar to me. Maybe I met him in another life.

TAPESTRY FOR JUDITH AND HOLOPHERNE - JEAN COCTEAU


Bermondsey Billy took the words right out of my mouth when he replied to Fifi's comment with this:

Anonymous21 December 2013 10:42

WOW, and I do mean WOW! Has Moz ever discussed or mentioned in any interviews the Cocteau picture of him?

I presume this has been discussed before, I mean, it must have?

Bermondsey Billy

THE 'QUIFFED' BLUE MAN FROM COCTEAU'S TAPESTRY?


But it would seem that both Bermondsey Billy and I were not barking up the same tree as Fifi:

Anonymous21 December 2013 21:01

Thank you everyone for the kind words!

I have been thinking about all the interesting Cocteau / Genet / Marais stories and I feel lucky that my internet browsing brought me here. There aren't many places I can talk about the things I feel passionate about without the uncomfortable feeling people find those stories boring.

I look forward to sharing thoughts with you all.

Bermondsey Billy, I believe the Cocteau connection has never been talked about before but I could be wrong.
As for the blue man on the tapestry, although you are not wrong about the resemblance you mentioned, I was actually thinking about someone else. One more guess?

Take care of you, dear friends.
Fifi

The tapestry can be found on the dining room wall of this house:


VILLA SANTO SOSPIR, ST JEAN CAP FERRAT, FRANCE

It is said that Cocteau was so enchanted by Villa Santo Sospir, which was a house belonging to his friends Alec and Francine Weisweiller, that he asked his hosts if he could draw on the walls. The house is filled with Cocteau's drawings, with the tapestry of Judith and Holofernes the last drawing he did at Santo Sospir, in 1951. The Judith and Holofernes tapestry was based on a pastel that Cocteau had drawn on cardboard:


COCTEAU'S ORIGINAL PASTEL, WHICH CAN BE FOUND AT THE JEAN COCTEAU MUSEUM IN MENTON, FRANCE



THE DINING ROOM AT VILLA SANTO SOSPIR

So, WHO is it that Fifi sees in the tapestry, if it isn't Morrissey? My first thought was perhaps Cocteau's lover, Jean Marais......




JEAN MARAIS

.... but then I wondered if perhaps Fifi saw not Cocteau's JM, but another JM, another Jean... Morrissey's Jean... John Maher of Wythenshawe.




Last thought comes from Comrade Harps, and hopefully we will hear from Fifi:

comrade harps21 December 2013 11:32

What's important is not the stretches that Ratty makes, but what M may have made: Ratty's just trying to follow the path and the past. If Morrissey has read himself into Cocteau's work and believes some metaphysical connection with Cocteau, that's the truly intriguing thing for a reductionist materialist like me to try and understand. We know Morrissey believes in ghosts and such. It's fascinating to see what else his highly creative and self-educated mind might connect and accept. There is more to him than any of us mere downtrodden plebs might dare to speculate or understand.

I don't understand the references, but the fact that there is symbolism on the Years of Refusal cover makes more sense now - and all the heraldry on Ringleader etc

All my good intentions to have a rest from blogging over the Christmas period seem to have gone out of the window. How can I ignore the fact that somebody is leaving me exclusive insights into the designs of the Smiths record covers, and what is more, the MorrisseysWorld blog is churning out some of it's best material ever... somebody is in a very productive place!

I will move on to the MorrisseysWorld pieces in a minute, but first things first, I finished my blog entry of yesterday trying to find out just who it was, that the mysterious 'Fifi' believed was the 'Quiffed Blue Man' in Jean Cocteau's Tapestry For Judith and Holopherne.

JUST WHO IS THE BLUE MAN TO THE LEFT?

I had guessed that it was either Morrissey, Jean Marais, or Johnny Marr, but after posting my blog entry yesterday afternoon, I received this comment from Fifi:


Anonymous22 December 2013 19:03

The man in Cocteau's pastel reminds me of a certain record sleeve.
On the record, the man is facing the same way as the one on the tapestry but is the same colour as the one on the original pastel.
So who is this man? Is it the 'quiffed' man as you called him above or is it the naked fella below...?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/07/Handin.gif

It turns out Cocteau's art might have secretly appeared on more than one record sleeve of the 'quiffed' poet but this has never been talked about before to my knowledge so surely it means I am wrong, doesn't it?

I look forward to your thoughts.

Fifi

COCTEAU INSPIRED?


This is a truly amazing revelation. Could the Jim French photo of a naked man really have been chosen by Morrissey for the HiG single because it reminded him of Cocteau's naked man? Fifi's final paragraph states, "Cocteau's art might have secretly appeared on more than one record sleeve." I implore Fifi to share more. She is obviously not referring to the Jean Marais image on the 'This Charming Man' cover, there is nothing 'secret' about that, so could there, for example, be some hidden Cocteau in the photograph used for the cover of 'William, It Was Really Nothing', and if this photo from a 1980's advertisement for ADS Speakers wasn't a Cocteau inspired piece, then perhaps Fifi might explain why she thinks Morrissey did use this particular photo?:


COCTEAU INSPIRED?

And now to MorrisseysWorld. Two new articles have been posted, 'The Black Lodge' Parts 1 & 2. 'The Black Lodge' is completely different to anything that Morrissey has previously written on the MW blog, and contains both humour and absolute surrealism. The funniest bit is when Morrissey finds himself in what he perceives to be the afterlife. He writes:

"As he rises from the floor wondering where, in fact, he is, a lit figure moves towards him. Morrissey freezes. The figure resembles a pile of untouched sandwiches and carries a wooden hammer. "suoived, tnelucurt dna elbailernu", the figure says, hobbling disinterestedly by. "tnuc," says Morrissey."

GENIUS. FUCKING GENIUS.


JUDGE WEEKS - COPYRIGHT MORRISSEYSWORLD

Some more interesting works of art have also been added to the MW site, including these:












And now I shall go off to enjoy my birthday and Christmas, although if Fifi reveals any more, I shall of course return. Oh how Tony Fletcher, Dr Devereaux, Simon Goddard and Co will be kicking themselves for missing out on this whole MorrisseysWorld phenomenon. They ALL had the chance, but they just couldn't see what was right in front of them.

A Christmas message from The Mozziah:

Morrissey23 December 2013 16:17

A miserable Christmas to you all from The Black Lodge.

Life is merely an interruption of death.

Our Mozzer has also posted on the MorrisseysWorld blog that there will be NO MORE articles unless one of the following happens (sorry about the light colour):

"Morrissey is trapped in the Black Lodge and he might never escape. I know This Blog will never post another message until The Real Morrissey (TRM) makes one of following happen:

1.  Morrissey wears a literal blue rose outside of the live arena
2.  Morrissey or one of the band or support artists appears as 'Log Lady'
3.  Morrissey calls himself 'Sarah Palmer'
4. Morrissey issues a statement featuring both the words 'blue' and 'rose'
5. Morrissey makes reference to Marcus Markou's film
6. Morrissey announces UK dates with at least two concerts at leisure centres
7. Morrissey mentions MorrisseysWorld once again
8. Morrissey releases another image featuring blue roses

Until one of these happens, nothing will posted on this blog and Morrissey will remain trapped in The Black Lodge."

When will the world discover MorrisseysWorld?

Will 'Christmas in the Black Lodge' ever be published?

POSTED BY MORRISSEY AT 09:41

So, now we wait.

Merry Christmas to The Mozziah, The Deluded Dozen, The Blue Rose Society and all the poor sods who still haven't worked out that MORRISSEY IS MORRISSEYSWORLD.

I decided to take a complete break from the MorrisseysWorld blog, my blog and Twitter over Christmas, but I returned today, to find much had happened. It would appear that whilst I was in self imposed exile, the MW blog all but disappeared, whilst Our Mozzer has, VERY unexpectedly, returned to twitter in the new guise of, '@MorrisseyParody'.

The only article that remains on the MW blog is a new one, dated Saturday 28 December 2013, entitled 'The Magic Has Gone.' The article explains how the blog was meant to be more than a joke, and adds that it was a shame that so few left comment, or spread the word. It finishes with, "In the end, it was too much work for so little reward, just like The Smiths."

I have no idea WHY Our Mozzer suddenly decided to take to twitter (or the Twitterdilly Arms as it is fondly known around these parts), but he is back with a BANG! As I type this, he has posted 371 tweets in the past 24 hours, and has amassed 127 followers. It's just like 2011 all over again, but the big question is, will Morrissey get bored of pretending NOT to be Morrissey, and delete the account again, or will the clues and signs be slightly less subtle this time around, and will more of his fans actually realise this time that... IT REALLY IS HIM!!!!!!

Interestingly, the True-To-You website yesterday posted this:


Morrissey's most revered singers

1 January 2014

Morrissey's most revered singers

1 Al Martino
2 Bobby Hatfield
3 Philippe Wynne
4 Klaus Nomi
5 Timi Yuro
6 Jimmy Jones
7 General Johnson
8 Buffy Sainte-Marie
9 Elvis Presley
10 Levi Stubbs
11 Damien Dempsey
12 Matt Monro
13 Dawn Upshaw
14 Melanie Safka
15 Tim Buckley

There is of course, NO rhyme or reason to this list, it is just random singers that Morrissey happens to like, so the question Morrissey fans should be asking is, 'WHY, out of the blue, has Morrissey posted this list?', and the second question is 'WHY is Al Martino of all people listed at Number 1?'

The answer to both questions has been provided by '@MorrisseyParody', who has today tweeted:

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody6h

http://www.true-to-you.net  - M's list of revered singers. Weren't you surprised by number 1? Al Martino ahead of Bowie and Elvis?

Of course Al Martino sang a song - does anyone remember the title?

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody5h

"Red Roses for a Blue Lady" doesn't count I'm afraid Moz. It's too tenuous. You'll actually have to past a statement featuring blue and rose.

So now, it is time to sit back and enjoy the ride..... AGAIN! It was 841 days ago that I first discovered Morrissey on twitter, and now he is back, but will his fans realise it is him this time, or will they once again miss all the signs? The 2014 tour will no doubt prove to be VERY interesting.... once it is officially announced!

And after 48 hours of frantic tweeting, Morrissey has once again gone.... and so has the MorrisseysWorld blog.

I managed to copy a few of my favourite tweets from yesterday before the twit account disappeared, which is just as well, because today, True-To-You has published a number of questions and answers which include a couple of HUGE coincidences, none more so than the fact that yesterday, Parody Moz tweeted that he was writing a novel, and today, TRM (The Real Morrissey) has revealed that he is.... writing a novel! HOW MANY COINCIDENCES DO THEY NEED BEFORE THEY CAN SEE WHAT IS GOING ON??? AND WHY AM I SHOUTING?

 Here are yesterday's twitter highlights from '@ParodyMorrissey' :


"I'm working on a novel."





"When one tries to analyse what exactly people don't like about me, the NME's old lies always resurface. Mud sticks. Smoke suggests fire."

"I love England because I'm English - it's a part of the fabric; it's a place I feel incredibly romantic about. Is it really so strange?"

The English, I firmly believe, are the kindest people politically - and the cruellest personally - in the world."



BEAUTIFUL ENGLAND


"@LizzyCatMoz I find that distressing. It forces me to be my private self, which is an appalling thing to be in public."

"If I walk, people point and stare, and they ask for autographs, and it's very dehumanising."

"Do you sense my overwhelming ambivalence about twitter? I am at my most fragile here."

"I can't act, but then I can't sing in the broader sense either."


"YOU SHOULD HEAR ME PLAY PIANO"



"I would rather embrace the ugly truth than a pretty lie. This is the essence of my songs."

"What I love most about MorrisseysWorld is the madness of ignoring all the facts and embracing cognitive dissonance."

"The BlueRoseSociety ring, now in my bedside cabinet."



COMING TO A BEDSIDE CABINET.... NOWHERE NEAR YOU!


There is one other tweet that I didn't manage to copy, which Moz sent to GOB, informing her that the 2014 tour would be coming to a leisure centre "NEAR YOU SOON", which I took to mean he will be playing in Coventry, but does Coventry even have a leisure centre?

Here is the TTY Q&A (I have added the photos):

2 January 2014

Morrissey has answered a sixth series of questions submitted by Questions And Answers participants. These questions and Morrissey's answers are as follows.


TTY / replies : January 2014


Knowing that you are a loyal and proud vegetarian, I would like to ask you what is it that motivated you to stop eating meat for good?
MATTHEW, Preston.

If you have access to You Tube, you should click on to what is called The video the meat industry doesn't want you to see. If this doesn't affect you in a moral sense then you're probably granite. I see no difference between eating animals and paedophilia. They are both rape, violence, murder. If I'm introduced to anyone who eats beings, I walk away. Imagine, for example, if you were in a nightclub and someone said to you "Hello, I enjoy bloodshed, throat-slitting and the destruction of life," well, I doubt if you'd want to exchange phone numbers.

---

Who inspired you to sing?
KARICACSARY, Fontana.

Bobby Hatfield. He was the smaller of the two Righteous Brothers, and his falsetto swoop made me jump backwards over the settee. You should You Tube their You've lost that lovin' feelin', and you'll see what I mean. When I made the record Ringleader of the tormentors, the producer (Tony Visconti), who is a very close friend of David Bowie, tried to get both Bowie and I together to do our version of You've lost that lovin' feelin', with David doing the deep Bill Medley parts, and me doing the Bobby Hatfield shrieks. I loved this idea, but David wouldn't budge. I know I've criticized David in the past, but it's all been snotnosed junior high ribbing on my part. I think he knows that.

SNOT NOSED RIBBING


I think a lot of young people, including myself, find it hard to be truly themselves. Your music has helped me immensely on this issue. What would your advice be to the younger generation on how to accept yourself?
RÓISÍN, Dunfermline.

I don't think we ever do! I think we all die feeling apologetic and embarrassed. I'm as much of a mess now as I was when I was 16. There are too many forces telling us we aren't good enough - music critics, bank managers, the police, the judiciary, ex-wives ... do you have the nerve to tell them all to get stuffed? That's the only thing that will do it. The sociological arrangements of the western world rely exclusively on people NOT being their true selves. Otherwise, they couldn't be governed and frightened and lost and timid – as most people unfortunately are. You can't control people by telling them to be themselves. As soon as people decide to be themselves, the police reach for their stun guns, and governments roll out the tanks ... Egypt, Bahrain, Thailand, Brazil, Ukraine, Syria ... the very last thing we are encouraged to be is ourselves. This is why it's always so shocking when someone stands up and gives an honest opinion. In all cases, such people are criticized by the print media, but never applauded.

---

I love your voice and your sense of humor. Can you please share your inspiration for the song The more you ignore me, the closer I get?
LATICIA, Houston.

About once every nine years I get the feeling that it's more important to have someone's body rather than their friendship. Once you have their spirit you then want their body. Well, this has never worked for me. But it was the galloping wisdom when I wrote that song.

---

After your Asian tour, and seeing how big the fans are in Asia, would you come back again?
PITO, Jakarta.

I've begged so much to go back that it now hurts. I was never happier than in Jakarta. People always talk about Los Angeles as my true family, but Jakarta puts Los Angeles in a Sara Lee trance, which, when you consider how much I love Los Angeles, certainly says something. It was great to have a new slice of life, and I will never forget the audience. But to go back you must wait to be asked, and so far I haven't been asked. All I can do is urge other singers and other bands to go to Jakarta, because it's the heart of the new world.

---

I was lucky enough to see you in Istanbul in July 2012. It was an amazing night, very intense, and it was a dream come true. How was it to be in Istanbul, and what do you think about the audience and the concert?
MELIS, Istanbul.

Well, we are about to record our new album, and one of the tracks is called Istanbul. It is second to Rome as my most favorite city in the world. When I'm in Istanbul I feel as if I could never die. My life is matched. I have been trying to book the Istanbul Opera House, and I long to play Ankara, Izmir and Bursa, but local promoters say I am not well-known enough. Even if I sing to one hundred people in Izmir I'd be happy!

---

I thank you with all of my heart for changing my life. How do you feel knowing that many lives have changed because of you?
ORESTES, Greece.

I think it means that you have expressed your best moments in Art. Not in relationships or romance or sex or economics. But when you succeed in Art it is really destiny taking the lead. At least when you have an audience you can say you've lived, and the audience are the proof, and it's something that even the most jealous critic cannot take away from you. They'll try, of course.

---

Did you ever think your words would have such an impact in so many different cultures in all parts of the world?
ERIC, Syracuse.

No! But having toured so extensively in recent years I am shocked to see large audiences everywhere chanting the words back at me - from Hiroshima to Wellington to Singapore City to Seoul to Malmo to Krakow to Tel-Aviv. I am not given credit for being a universal voice, yet I see the incredible results all around me. If a record company ever promoted me on a worldwide level it would explode. I have never been with a label that saw me as anything but an oddity. I am not at all odd. I am simply speaking for now.

---

I am a fashion head and I adore your look as much as your music. Where do you get your influences from?
KATIE, Cork.

When I was a kid - yes, a kid! - I was greatly fascinated by people such as the New York Dolls and Lou Reed and Patti Smith and Iggy Pop who gave new definitions of sexuality. But the truth is that I have always loved very defined male clothes and styles. You possibly haven't heard of Fabian because he's practically pre-history these days, but I loved the way he dressed in his heyday. I always loved traditionally masculine suits and accoutrements and classically designed trousers. I don't like the modern urban peasant look and my mind stalls at clothes that don't work with the physical contours. It's important to know what suits you, otherwise you look like a buffoon ... or a baboon ... take your pick.

---

What kind of music do you listen to when you're not listening to your own?
ØYSTEIN, Norway.

I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever stop listening to music. I listen so much that it worries me. I lie in the bath and I shout my head off. The range of music is vast, but lately I keep listening to I really loved Harold and also Johnny boy by Melanie Safka. Music can bring vegetables to life, and I should know because I'm a vegetable.

---

The law that has passed that bans any cosmetic testing on animals in the EU is fantastic for the welfare of animals. What new laws would you like to see passed for the welfare of animals?
AMBER, Derby.

I would like all governments to be forced to engage an Animal Protectionist MP. I would like a complete zoo and circus ban. I would like every television commercial that promotes 'flesh-food' to be followed by a commercial showing how the living pig and the living cow become the supermarket commodity, step by step. I would like the Queen of England to be asked why she wears an electrocuted bear-cub on her head. I would like to ask all so-called celebrity chefs why they believe that animals should have no right to live. If Jamie 'Orrible is so certain that flesh-food is tasty then why doesn't he stick one of his children in a microwave? It would taste the same as cooked lamb. The singer Cilla Black recently appeared on television telling us how she was preparing leg of lamb for dinner, and since a lamb is a baby, I wondered what kind of mind Cilla Black could possibly have that would convince her that eating a baby is OK. On another TV program an actor called Jeremy Edwards explained how excited he was at the discovery in Siberia of preserved Woolly Mammoths with enough DNA (flowing blood) to resurrect the animals - which have obviously been extinct for thousands of years. Edwards was excited by this because he said "I'd really like to try a Mammoth burger." This, alas, is typical of the human idiot. Although the meat industry alone is destroying the planet, I would like to ask President Obama why he says nothing on the subject. Although the meat industry puts an intolerable strain on the medical profession I would like to ask world leaders why they say nothing on the subject. Although meat products are killing off half the human race very speedily, I would like to ask world leaders why they do not care in the least. Money, and only money, makes the world go around. I would also like to ask meat-eaters why they are so certain that animals deserve such barbaric and horrific treatment. I would like to ask meat-eaters why they believe that animals should not have any rights to live their own lives, whilst humans fiercely demand a god-given right to live as they wish simply by reason of their birth alone.



CILLA BLACK

You are one of the few personalities in modern times who have really influenced my thinking about art and life. Have you ever thought about writing a novel?
HANNA, Germany.

In 2013 I published my Autobiography and it has been more successful than any record I have ever released, so, yes, I am mid-way through my novel. I have my hopes. The actuality is that radio stations will not play my music, and the majority of people have lost faith in the music industry, and it's generally assumed - quite rightly - that the number one chart positions are "bought" by the major labels, so there really is no passion left in pop or rock music, and I don't think people believe for an instant that the faces we constantly see on television and in magazines are remotely popular. It's all, now, solely a question of marketing. All success stories are safe and dreary, and you will never be taken by surprise by a hit song that sounds out of place. This is not just my view but the view of everyone I know.

---

If you were to choose one favorite song that you've written, which would it be and why?
JULIA, Philippines.

It would be Life is a pigsty from Ringleader of the tormentors. I'm accused of always saying too much, but dear God, there are enough people who saynothing. Surely at least one of us can be allowed to speak freely? Feelings, I think, are much deeper than expressions, and all of us carry a terrible loneliness within us, and life is a pigsty because we all - without exception - end our lives in tears. Very few people die in a fit of hysterics on a Ferris Wheel.


PORCILE

---

What achievement are you most proud of in your life?
PADDY, Stockport.

Many people have told me that they stopped eating flesh because of something I said. I can't ask higher than that, and I wouldn't aim for higher than that. If you believe in the abattoir then you would support Auschwitz. There's no difference. People who would disagree with this statement have probably never been inside an abattoir.

---

What question do you secretly wish an interviewer would ask you, and what would the answer be?
ASH, York.

I haven't done an interview with a British music magazine since 2007, so the process doesn't drill through my head anymore. As an entity, I have no interest in the Smiths, so as long as I'm not asked about the Smiths, I won't slip into permanent unconsciousness. And that's a promise.



Here are some of today's tweets from Parody Morrissey:

"Yesterday on Twitter I revealed I am writing my novel. Now on True-To-You Morrissey says the same. Coincidence again - nothing more."

"Just like Years of Refusal statement in 2011." - This is in reference to:

26 DECEMBER 2011 - '@MorrisseysWorld' tweeted to say, "Years of Refusal may come to be viewed as my masterpiece when the lights finally Go Out."

27 DECEMBER 2011 - Morrissey issues a statement completely out of the blue on the True To You website listing 'Years of Refusal' as the album of which he is most proud.

"You will also remember I tweeted the single word 'Istanbul' as MorrisseysWorld. The reason was never given. BlueRoseSociety."


"Life is so absurd, it cannot actually be real - can it?"


"BlueRoseSociety is ONLY for those who care. Do you see why the blog and twitter keep closing? Why I don't want 10 000 followers?"

When Parody Moz entered into a debate with '@hrtbps' about a newspaper headline, Moz got quite annoyed that instead of debating, the guy wanted to report him for having a 'view'. Moz tweeted:

"Nothing is more gratuitously violent than state censorship of opinions. It's an unnecessary evil."

He then added:

"Those dreadful children reported my account and had it suspended - despite engaging me in debate. They're cowards and censors."

He continued:

"This is the mindset of the vacuous censor - no argument, only censorship, whether just or not."

And continued:

"This immature approach from incompletely developed adults proposes government replaces parents - to monitor the playground that is society."

AND THIS IS JUST A PARODY? Here are some more tweets:

"I am not Morrissey. The fact I put out the novel/album news 24 hours before True-To-You is pure luck. Nothing more."

"Love is an ersatz version of like. If you like someone there is absolutely no need to tell yourself you love them."

"Limited ambition and a taste for comfort induce contentment. True artists have unlimited ambition and ask difficult, disquieting questions."

"Contentment is worse than carbon monoxide for the quality of one's art."

"Art is not a market. It's a passion."

"My wit is aching. I need some rest. Perhaps I'll persue @richardm56 's account." (Richard Madeley!)

The account then went dead, and this appeared on my blog:

Morrissey3 January 2014 11:41

And then I was gone.

ReplyDelete


And so that's it. He came, he tweeted, he buggered off again..... and STILL nobody could see.

And finally for today, just as 'Parody Moz' disappears into the sunset, Fifi (who I deludedly believe to be Moz) appears back on my blog, with this comment:

Anonymous3 January 2014 12:31

Hello little charmers!

It's funny to see how a cold breeze in the neck and rainy days can spur creativity.

I know you have not posted (yet) about the TTY Q&A but do you mind if I share a thought about this?
I happen to have a photo of Fabian (the fashion reference mentioned on TTY) from the movie 'A bullet for pretty boy' and it always reminded me of 'You are the Quarry'
I don't know if the inspiration behind the sleeve was ever revealed and if so, I might be completely wrong.
What do you think? (Sorry I cannot post actual photos on here so I found the photo I am talking about on ebay) : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fabian-Forte-1970-Original-Movie-Photo-Pretty-Boy-Floyd-/350333901136?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5191871950

Is Fifi wrong? Somehow, I doubt it. Goodbye.

It has now been three days since Parody Morrissey went away, but he never goes far, and after a lengthy (16 month) absence, the Twitterdilly Arms is pleased to welcome back...... '@GreyerGirl' *audience applause*

GREYER GIRL - TWITTER PROFILE READS: 'MORRISSEY FAN TEMPTED ON TO TWITTER, OLDER WOMAN, CONFIDENT, LOVING.'

Greyer Girl is, of course, one of Morrissey's pessoa's.... I think!... but then again, who knows? If she(?) isn't a pessoa, then she is DEFINITELY a member of Morrissey's inner circle, but we still have NO idea as to which of his friends are actively involved in this whole MorrisseysWorld phenomenon, and which ones have NO idea about it. GG's tweets have been certainly been very informative, but more about that in a minute.

Since posting my last blog entry on Friday, a few of my regular readers have posted some more of Parody Morrissey's tweets from last week. Here they are:

FROM: Girl On Bike3 January 2014 18:05

These are some of my favourite tweets - I especially liked his interaction with Boy George:

1. Boy George ‏@BoyGeorge
@MorrisseyParody @twitter is the perfect platform for a man of the people! Why would you not use it! Joining in is not surrender!

2. morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody
@BoyGeorge Once one has thrown one's arms around Paris and one's legs around @BoyGeorge what is left? A left hook around @NiallOfficial ?

3. Boy George ‏@BoyGeorge
@MorrisseyParody @NiallOfficial No, it's Liam from @oneerection that requires attention! Lol!

4. morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody
@BoyGeorge @NiallOfficial @oneerection Liam is your favourite? I had you down as a Harry Styles man.

5. Boy George ‏@BoyGeorge
@MorrisseyParody @NiallOfficial @oneerection I think Liam has issues! Lol!

BOY GEORGE - LIAM FAN

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody

@TheRatsBack Autobiography was nothing but an in-joke. I'm amazed nobody 'got' it, but then journalists don't have a lot up top.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody
Only the few will find me now. The unfortunate few.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody
I will continue to generate controversy, poetry and enmity. I will never change.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody
Though it would be quite surreal, I can see myself as an X Factor judge.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody
I could simply frown throughout, and occasionally puff out my cheeks or raise an eyebrow.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody
Despair equals suffering multiplied by intelligence, multiplied by number of friends and children, divided by number of pets.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody
Time is short and wishing is more costly than gold.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody
The purpose of life - if indeed there is a purpose - is to strip away this mental window-dressing and simply live.

FUTURE X FACTOR JUDGE?

FROM: Anonymous3 January 2014 18:12

I liked the poetic one but can't remember it properly. I also loved his line about art,

"bad art takes over one's life, good art changes one's life, great art replaces one's life."

FROM: heathercat3 January 2014 19:10

Related to the autobiography, he also mentioned that his memoirs (which are not ironic in intent, I presume) will be published posthumously. He had made a comment along the same lines in chat a few weeks ago.

FROM: girlwithout3 January 2014 18:52

Missed a lot of the tweeting, but have to shamefully admit that I guffawed about the one where he said that he tripped while running up the stairs and hit himself in the eye with his laptop and could not see anyone’s tweets. Thought I was the only person daft enough to have ever done that.
Question is: where was he running up the stairs to?
And now we are on the l~OO~k out for a hairy backed blogger with an eye patch. 

FROM: Chuck Norrissey4 January 2014 00:06

It might mean nothing, but there's something I can't get out of my head.

@MorrisseyParody favourited one single tweet of them, and it said something along "Bring me a new song, Boz - you're not cheap, you know, and there's other 'musical directors' out there". I wonder if he was telling us that there'll be different songwriters contributing to the album. Is that too far-fetched?

And on the subject of Boz Boorer, Boz yesterday posted this poster on twitter. Not only is there a lot of  blue in the poster, but I am SURE that is a BLUE ROSE in the bottom right hand corner, and if it's not, then WHAT could it possibly be?:

BLUE ROSE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER?

The colour blue, and indeed roses, have been mentioned a lot by members of the BRS since Morrissey published his list of 'Most Revered Singers' on True-To-You last week. Long time 'Deluded Dozen' member, Marcus Markou started the ball rolling with this observation:

Marcus4 January 2014 13:41

I went for a walk on Wimbledon Common thinking about the, at times moving exchange with @MorrisseyParody, and the song 'BLUE Spanish Eyes' popped into my head by Al Martino. I love that song. I actually have it. It then occurred to me, whilst communing with the trees on the Common, that the list of songs he posted have a 'BLUE' connection:

Bobby Hatfiled - Out of the BLUE
Jimmy Jones - BLUE and Lonely
General Johnson - Veitnam BLUES
Buffy Sainte Marie - Soldier BLUE
Elvis - BLUE Suede Shoes
Matt Monroe - When Sunny gets BLUE
Melanie Safka - I'm so BLUE
Tim Buckley - BLUE Afternoon

Klaus Nomi is a more obscure link but he did cover "Falling in Love Again" which was a Dietrich song in 'the BLUE Angel' and I'd like to add that my father named his first business - a chip shop in Erdington - 'The Blue Angel' - after seeing the film! It's still there... where my life began.

Timi Yuro's final live performance was at Gregs BLUE Dot in Hollywood.

Need to Google the other missing links... to see.

You see! Talking to the trees does work!

THE BLUE ANGEL - NO RELEVANCE TO FTM, BUT IT MEANS THE WORLD TO THE CHIP EATING MASSES IN ERDINGTON (BIRMINGHAM, UK)

Marcus' observation was picked up by others:

heathercat4 January 2014 21:35

Wow, Marcus - I might start communing with the trees myself!
Timi Yuro is considered to be a 'blue-eyed soul' singer and she sang 'Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea'. A couple more songs for the list:

Dawn Upshaw - Little Girl Blue
Levi Stubbs (with The Four Tops) - Whenever There's Blue

In addition to singing 'Blue Spanish Eyes' and 'Red Roses for a Blue Lady', Al Martino also sang 'Love is Blue', which has been covered by many artists, including The Spinners. Philippe Wynne (#3 on the revered singers list) sang with The Spinners, although apparently not when they recorded 'Love is Blue', so I don't know if that's enough of a connection. I couldn't find any other 'blue' songs associated with him.

The only other singer on the list who hasn't been accounted for is Damien Dempsey, who sang the Dublin GAA anthem, which is entitled 'True Blue'.

Anonymous5 January 2014 14:09

If most/all of the singers are connected to blue, maybe they or something else in the statement are also connected to 'rose' as 'blue rose' was meant to be a theme?

Anyone know?

Jed the Bed

heathercat5 January 2014 19:05

Roses do appear to be a theme. So far I've found:

Elvis - Mama Liked the Roses
Timi Yuro - Honeysuckle Rose
Matt Monro - Roses, Roses and Roses
Dawn Upshaw - Roses ardentes & Dans un parfum de roses blanches
Tim Buckley - Sally Go Round the Roses
Buffy Sainte-Marie has a rose named after her.

heathercat6 January 2014 05:16

I haven't been able to find any more songs with 'rose' titles (doesn't mean they're not out there), but I have found two songs that mention roses in the lyrics. Melanie Safka wrote 'The First Time I Loved Forever', the theme song for the 'Beauty and the Beast' TV series, which mentions the rose that is essential to that story by Cocteau. Levi Stubbs (with The Four Tops) sang 'Love the One You're With', which mentions a 'rose in the fisted glove' in the chorus. Maybe some of the other revered singers have rose-related lyrics or other connections but I haven't found an easy way to search for them.

tonI sMitH5 January 2014 14:45

WOW! This is incredible! Morrissey is sending US messages by thinking up lists of artists with a connection to the colour BLUE! It's not the first time he's done this either. Look at the list of artists on his Desert Island Discs choice. New York Dolls, Marianne Faithful, Ramones, Velvet underground, Klaus Nomi, Nico, Iggy and Mott The Hoople. ALL of them have song titles or connections to BLUE. Go ahead, Google it if you don't believe me!!
Morrissey formed the blue Rose Society long before we were here. He was just waiting for us. Why can't people SEE this? They are missing out. They can't see the wood for the trees!!! None so blind as those that cannot see!!!
Do the same with this list from 2010!! You'll find BLUE connections with EACH artist

http://www.stereogum.com/525172/morrisseys-13-favorite-songs-of-all-time/list/

He even lists number 6 as Buffy Sainte-Marie, Soldier BLUE. Just as Marcus googled so accurately. Genius Marcus. GENIUS!!

DAWN UPSHAW - A QUITE SURPRISING NUMBER 13 ON THE TTY 'MOST REVERED LIST'

And now..... back to 'GreyerGirl', who yesterday entered the 'Blue Rose' connection with this:

Greyer On The Other Side5 January 2014 16:54

I just discovered a Linder interview where she explains the meaning of 'roses' says she got into roses 2 years ago - when things were hotting up on MorrisseysWorld - and Morrissey sings in background of interview! She wears red rose t-shirt and 2 pieces of blue rose art! Linder = MW?

Meanwhile, over in The Twitterdilly Arms, GG posted a Linder interview, and also added these comments:

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl20h

@greyergirl Wow, thought I saw blue roses too. Love the song choice :)

LINDER'S BLUE ROSES 

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl20h

Coincidence?

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl20h

While Linder talks about music with white roses in her art work, Morrissey's Glamorous Glue plays!

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl20h

Linder is beautiful, like an older, more intelligent Nicole Kidman. Never heard of 'sploshing!'#BlueRoseSociety message in Linder's work

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl20h

Hilarious that Morrissey plays while Linder discusses him with men and white roses and girl called him "morr-ee-say!"

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl20h

omg heather is right!!! @TheRatsBack@heathercat222 BLUE ROSE on b&w photo in linder interview! Morrissey sings! Morr-ee-say! White rose!

And guess what? Linder is wearing a red rose t-shirt!!!! This is like an insane dream!!!!! Moz is having a laugh!

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl20h

Or is Linder even involved in MW? Is she MW?

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl20h

http://www.after 7 mins linder begins discussing 'the rose' and says she began working with roses 2 years ago! 2 years ago is when Morrissey posted the 'see the rose and know' symbol of his face with 2 roses!!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZfrVLM8R7Y

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl20h

Linder art entitled "I don't see how you can write on the wall about roses." Remember MozWorld poster with moz, a wall and roses??!

So, Could it possibly be that the Blue Rose Society is the artistic brainchild of Linder Sterling? And if not her brainchild, IS she involved? My guess would be a big, fat YES. Is Linder among us here? Is she '@GirlWithout' for example? 

Oh, the mystery.

LINDER STERLING - THE ROSE LADY (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LOG LADY, WHO IS SOMEBODY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.... ALTHOUGH AROUND HERE, THAT AIN'T NECESSARILY SO!


And while us Blue Rosers get terribly excited about the possibility of a new Morrissey LP, a new tour, a novel, and of course the ins and outs of the BRS and MorrisseysWorld, WHAT is the main topic of conversation at Morrissey-Solo?...... 'Has Morrissey Got AIDS?' And NO, I am not making this up. Solow has sunk to the VERY bottom of wherever it is that it was once floating.

The so called 'story' was written anonymously, and has NO FOUNDATION whatsoever, and yet the very mixed up Uncle Skinny (the Solow moderator) writes:

"If you know it's bullshit, say so. It may or may not be true.. P."


What sort of reasoning is that to run such a hateful story? Even the Solowers aren't happy, with 'Mozza220559' writing:

"Oh come on Peter, we all know it's absolute bollocks, what cretin really thinks he has AIDS?

Have a shred of common sense."


The user 'ItsVeryCold' adds:

"This is a ridiculous article written by a cunt, based on an original article also written by a cunt."


WHY would Solow publish such a story? The site owner, David Somebody or other justifies it with this:

"We're making the link known so people can decide to read it and decide what to do with it on their own."

So, if an anonymous blogger from Bridlington were to write that the Duke of Edinburgh's recent illness could be AIDS, would the BBC report it on the 10 o'clock news?  No, they would not. Solow is dead.


THAT MAN - SCUM

That is DEFINITELY a BLUE ROSE in the Boz Boorer poster, you know.

And here is a Linder video of 'I Don't See How You Can Write On A Wall About Roses', from 2007. Please take the time to watch it, it's quite unique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNQA2QLrgl0.

*Goes off singing* "I see the summer roses, your favourite shade of roses, and that reminds me too of yooooooooouuuuuu."

He came, he twaught, he left.

Morrissey returned to the Twitterdilly Arms again yesterday and today, first as the 'confident' and 'loving', Greyer Girl, then as 'Parody Morrissey', and then as GG again. GG took to attacking Marcus Markou for his defence of striking lawyers.... and wiped the floor with MM's flawed (did you see what I did there?) argument. GG also took the time to try and fathom out the workings of one time MWer, Rosy Mires, but GG got nowhere, with Rosy seeming to deny that she ever believed that Morrissey was behind MorrisseysWorld! Really Rosy? GG also managed to engage Mike Joyce in debate, but more of that later. Here's the Rosy bit:

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl15h

@RosyMires@AIRRAID25@shutthekellup So Rosy you believed M was MW for a while, I saw your blog comments and LOLed!

Rosie ‏@RosyMires14h

@greyergirl Nope... just interested. In anyone who can write that well and yet devote thousands of hours to larking about. A mystery....

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl14h

@RosyMires No mystery if it's Morrissey!

Goebbels made films about the Jews likening them to rats , dirty & spreading disease,CH 4 does this for benefit claimants #benefitsstreet

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody7h

@cutter78 More hysteria. I support benefits recipients (royal family excepted), but comparing genocide to class critique is absurd.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody7h

@cutter78 Do you realise how ludicrous your comparison of Goebbels to Channel 4 is?

martin ellis-hall ‏@cutter787h

@MorrisseyParody judging by the hatred and threats of violence it's on that slippery slope

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody7h

@cutter78 Oh come now. The socialist left are always exaggerating for effect. It was a TV show - entertainment; watch it, or switch it off.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody7h

@cutter78 Does it really compare to Nazis coming in the night for Jewish, Gypsy and Homosexual people, the disabled and the ill? Really?

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody7h

@cutter78 Similarly with McCarthyism. Endless left wing tears shed over the censorship and persecution - while they do the same to the BNP.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody7h

@cutter78 Of course even being in UKIP - which supports immigration - will now put you at risk of the jackboot-wearing left wing thugs.

martin ellis-hall ‏@cutter787h

@MorrisseyParody I will not stand by & watch my fellow countrymen be demonised

martin ellis-hall ‏@cutter787h

@MorrisseyParody true I will always fight those that seek to destroy my country

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody7h

@cutter78 The right wing say benefits claimants and immigration are destroying the country. Your instincts are anti-democratic.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody

@edronmonds Twitter in the title? There will certainly be a MorrisseysWorld reference in there.

THE WORLD OF MORRISSEY?

Our Mozzer returned to The Twitterdilly Arms again this morning, with the bible bashing topic still on the agenda, plus meat eating, and other such topics that a parody Morrissey would be expected to discuss. Unfortunately the account disappeared before I could copy all the tweets. Here are some of the highlights:

Magid Harbison ‏@EntAgncy7h

@KristiLuvsJesus@BoyGeorge@MorrisseyParody Kristi your just plain disgusting. U & those like u cause pain.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody2h

@EntAgncy@KristiLuvsJesus@BoyGeorge It's not disgusting for her to have a view and pray for us. It is kind.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody2h

@EntAgncy@KristiLuvsJesus@LatexGirl666@GrayJlynn73f@BoyGeorge However, she is wrong, and we're free to point out the absurdity of it all.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody2h

@EntAgncy@KristiLuvsJesus@LatexGirl666@GrayJlynn73f@BoyGeorge Do you see how democracy works now?

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody2h

@KristiLuvsJesus@BoyGeorge If the wounded spent less time demanding censorship and more time fighting injustice, we would be free.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody2h

@BoyGeorge and I fight injustice and make argument: we embrace democracy and fight for the truth. This is a liberal-artistic position.


BOY GEORGE AND MORRISSEY - FIGHTING INJUSTICE AND FOR THE TRUTH

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody

The socialists prefer to censor and silence through bullying and abuse. You will find them in parliament and in the media.

Clover Dean Ⓜ ‏@MozzeriansATW

5h

@MorrisseyParody So eating meat is just the same as rape & torture? many hate your point of view (choice of words) but I understood it...

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody2h

@MozzeriansATW Yes - eating meat is the enjoyment of animal-murder; since we are just animals, this is no different to murder.

Yes my point of view is different, but it's quite rational.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody2h

How fascinating that the carnivorous press imply I am somehow guilty of these awful crimes by pointing out that I do neither of them.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody2h

In the past, the media used to consider the murder of certain minorities less troubling than murder of one's own kind. This was racism.

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody

2h

In years to come, I believe the mass murder of animals will be considered in the same light: an unpardonable crime against animal-kind.

When Parody Moz left the Twitterdilly Arms, his seat in the snug was quickly taken by 'Greyer Girl'. I don't have the time to write all of her highlights (maybe tomorrow), but here is the exchange with Joyce. It was like being ringside at a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Theresa Bazar... and then I got pulled into the ring by Joyce (because I was laughing).

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl21h

@PapaSonsFilm@Kansiv1 Joyce sued M on legal aid. If you're working, try to sue someone. @mikejoycedrums was lucky to be a parasite!!

Mike Joyce ‏@mikejoycedrums17h

@greyergirl Your opinion is just that. You don't, and never will, have all the facts of the case I was involved in. Dangerous supposition.

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl57m

@mikejoycedrums You spent a fortune of the taxpayers' money with no conscience! YOU MIGHT have deserved the money, but the waste was sick!

no name ‏@Marrovermoz

@mikejoycedrums@greyergirl We are all lucky to have enjoyed his music.

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl57m

@Marrovermoz@mikejoycedrums Any drummer would have done!

The Rat ‏@TheRatsBack48m

@mikejoycedrums@greyergirl Aha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. If only he knew!

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl46m

@TheRatsBack@mikejoycedrums lol we've read all the facts in M's book!!!!!

The Rat ‏@TheRatsBack41m

@greyergirl I really could just sit here all day and watch you slug it out on twitter with Joyce.The journos don't know what they're missing.

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl30m

@TheRatsBack@mikejoycedrums certainly lacks the imagination, the work ethic and the genius that make Morrissey an important figure.

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl26m

@TheRatsBack@mikejoycedrums Mike is work-shy.

The Rat ‏@TheRatsBack19m

@greyergirl@mikejoycedrums Be careful making statements like that, or he'll whisk you back into the dock.

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl6m

@TheRatsBack@mikejoycedrums You can't sue when someone types the truth. Mike hasn't done much constructive work. Morrissey has.

Mike Joyce ‏@mikejoycedrums12m

@greyergirl@TheRatsBack look folks, you don't know the details of what really happened & you never will. It's pretty obvious that...

Mike Joyce ‏@mikejoycedrums10m

@greyergirl@TheRatsBack no matter what information I give to you that disputes your opinion, you will completely ignore it. Secondly...

Mike Joyce ‏@mikejoycedrums8m

@greyergirl@TheRatsBack without sounding rude, it's actually none of your business. I'm not going to bother replying anymore in this...

Mike Joyce ‏@mikejoycedrums6m

@greyergirl@TheRatsBack thread, so let's leave it that.

greyergirl ‏@greyergirl2h

@mikejoycedrums@TheRatsBack It is our business, because you spent our tax money fighting your case. And you're a public figure. Or were!

MORRISSEY & JOYCE - WAS THE TWITTER EXCHANGE TODAY THEIR FIRST CONVERSATION IN OVER A DECADE?



And in other news, it would appear that the Boz Boorer poster probably DIDN'T contain a blue rose, although it was blue, and the original poster came from an old photo depicting a Francoise Hardy album cover, and as every good schoolboy knows, Francoise sang 'Mon Amie La Rose'. Hmmm. Is Boz joining in at last?



BOZ POSTER

A CLOSE UP OF THE LP COVER - ADDED HERE FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO SHOW HOW STUNNING FRANCOISE HARDY LOOKS


And finally, Broken yesterday left a message on my blog about 'taking legal action', Parody Moz tweeted yesterday about legal aid, and then TTY issued a statement announcing that Moz was taking 'legal advice'. Coincidence..... of course! Here are the statements:

Broken6 January 2014 15:58

Interesting and informative. I knew there was a reason I didn't bother with the Spectator today.

The latest rumours on So-Low are beneath contempt of course: not because there's anything wrong with the disease, but because it's just an unsubstantiated fantasy with no credibility. That Old Uncle Sweaty is enjoying engaging with the rumours and winding up the crowds of trolls only makes him look more oafish and more insincere than ever, as he puffs his angry moobs out and sighs with fake censorial outrage over The Blue Rose Society!

What a disgraceful, brainless pleb.

It's also well worth noting - and I am alerting Morrissey to this little-known legal fact herein - that one can sue easily for slander or libel over rumours of infectious disease in the UK courts without even demonstrating harm. It is relatively easy to obtain large payments with little legal fees and in a timely manner, precisely because it's such a vulgar defamation that the courts come down hard on the perpetrators. Might be worth suing those originating or perpetuating the myth?

Regarding the old BRS, more fascinating overlaps between MW and TRM and friends.

Manchester Evening News

6 January 2014

Manchester Evening News

The Manchester Evening News have stated on 17 October 2013 that Morrissey 'claims he was "touched inappropriately by a teacher at school"'. Morrissey has never made such a claim. Furthermore, Morrissey does not use the word 'inappropriately' unless it is followed by an explanation of what an action might be inappropriate to.
Morrissey is seeking legal advice on this matter.

MAJOR BLUE ROSE SOCIETY NEWS: Jonathan Ross (@Wossy), completely out of the blue, and with NO explanation, has 'favourited' a Morrissey tweet from January 2nd. This happened just after '@MorrisseyParody' tweeted this:

"@PapaSonsFilm Something extraordinary will happen soon."

Here is the tweet that @Wossy favourited:

morrissey ‏@MorrisseyParody2 Jan

Devan's rose. #BlueRoseSocietypic.twitter.com/ItQvOjTN5P

THE PICTURE ON THE TWEET 'FAVOURITED' BY JONATHAN ROSS - WHICH IS OF MORRISSEY REACHING FOR THE BLUE ROSE AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH SCHOOL, AS SEEN ON THE MORRISSEY 25 LIVE DVD (AVAILABLE FROM ALL GOOD HIGH STREET RETAILERS.... ACTUALLY, IT PROBABLY ISN'T, BUT YOU CAN GET IT FROM AMAZON..... AND YOU CAN ALSO GET PAPADOPOULOS & SONS ON AMAZON, WHICH IS A HEARTWARMING FILM ABOUT A MAN WHO LOSES EVERYTHING, BUT FINDS SOMETHING FAR MORE IMPORTANT. THE FILM IS WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY BLUE ROSE SOCIETY MEMBER MARCUS MARKOU, AND I HAVE A SNEAKY FEELING THAT THE FILM IS SOON TO RECEIVE SOME 'MASSIVE' EXPOSURE. ANYWAY, THIS TAG LINE TO THE ABOVE PHOTO IS NOW FAR TO LONG, AND NOT VERY PUNCHY


Could Wossy's tweet be the sign that ignites the flame at last, and brings the masses flooding to MorrisseysWorld, or will the relevance be missed once again? SURELY this can't go unnoticed? SURELY... or has Our Mozzer been very clever in that NOBODY will see that Wossy has added it to his 'favourites'? Hmmm.

Wossy's action immediately brought back the MorrisseysWorld blog (MorrisseysWorld.blogspot.com), although none of the old content is there for anybody to read. I guess that Morrissey is hoping that people will find the blog, but then once again dismiss it, especially as it states that it is a parody website. He is giving people the signs (just as he did with the THREE True-To-You denials, but will they be able to realise what the signs mean? If any of them happen to have stumbled on this little old blog of mine, I shall give them a clue.... MORRISSEYSWORLD IS RUN BY MORRISSEY HIMSELF, YES, THE 'REAL' MORRISSEY, AND THE TWITTER USER '@MORRISSEYPARODY' IS ALSO THE REAL MORRISSEY, EVEN THOUGH HE WILL TELL YOU THAT IT ISN'T! HE LIES.... "LYING, THE TELLING OF BEAUTIFUL UNTRUE THINGS, IS THE PROPER AIM OF ART" - OSCAR WILDE.


OSCAR WILDE - SPIRIT OF THE BLUE ROSE SOCIETY


Parody Morrissey also returned to twitter yesterday, so here are the latest batch of twitter highlights from Morrissey, aka '@MorrisseyParody':

@PapaSonsFilm You're huge.. in Wandsworth CineWorld

FROM @PapaSonsFim: @MorrisseyParody The parody of me in Cineworld is something I treasure. It's banter.

@PapaSonsFilmMarcus I'm glad to hear it. I watched and adored your film. Not that it's worth much, since I'm a parody.

Enigmatic Otherness Factor requires that one occasionally acts 'unenigmatic' to shock and surprise.

Happiness based on something of disputed value always induces unease in the majority. #DrugsvegetarianismBRS

@girlwithout Unless I am removed from the Black Lodge, I shall have no option but to make an appearance in my Jonathan Ross red jacket.

FROM @Mennippus: @MorrisseyParody@girlwithout"Jonathan Ross red" being the precise shade of his cheeks as he looks back at his career.

@Menippus@girlwithout At this stage of my career, dressing as a Butlins red coat seems to be the ultimate ironic statement.

THAT RED JACKET - A COINCIDENCE THAT PARODY MOZ MENTIONED JONATHAN ROSS AND THEN WOSSY RETWEETED HIM? AND WHAT ABOUT CHEEKY MENIPPUS, COULD HE ACTUALLY BE JONATHAN ROSS? I WOULD BE PREPARED TO WAGER A CONSIDERABLE SUM THAT HE IS ONE OF THE 'INNER CIRCLE'.....HMMMM

FROM @Burntmidnight: @MorrisseyParody - are you for real?

@Burntmidnight Nobody is for real. This is why life is one constant disappointment.

FROM @Menippus: @MorrisseyParodywhat are you wearing?

@Menippus A dress made from tinned sardines, anchovies and mackerel, red eyeliner, black bowler hat, shoes hewn from kipper.

FROM @ChuckNorrissey: @MorrisseyParody You DO treat us like an old doormat but you're doing it sufficiently charming.

@chucknorrissey My toe prints look so pretty on your faces. It could be worse. Old Boz's steel toe caps, for instance.

BOZ BOORER - PICTURED YESTERDAY WITH WIFE LYNN AND BLUE ROSER ROSY AKA @MOZZERIANSATW

@southkirk I'm glad to see we've progressed from fawning to repeatedly assuring me you will absolutely not fawn.

Life is what happens when you're making other plans. Happiness is what happens when you stop making plans.

@LizzyCatMoz Greyergirl may well live in a cupboard, but if so it's an immaculate cupboard with modernist elegance.

FROM @Menippus: @MorrisseyParody As a child, I was spat on by Bobby Davro during his act at Pwllheli Butlins. He did a Morrissey parody too.

@Menippus Hopefully it was not my parody spittle which darkened your brow? Bobby Davro is to comedy as gonorrhoea is to sex.

Life is unprepared comedy, unscripted drama and unsolicited opinions competing with professional entertainment.

@chucknorrissey@Morrissey23rd@BlueRoseSociety@MozzeriansATW Rat's blog lacks evidence and this is just how I always hoped it would be.

When the world realises the truth, it will make the front pages for three weeks.

@heathercat222 Yes. One day the world will ask itself whether MorrisseysWorld was indeed Morrissey.

Sadness chases me like rush hour traffic.

@NastyaAmes A tour will be announced soon. I hope to visit NYC, but I can't promise. I will be touring England in 2014. #BlueRoseSociety

When the identity of MorrisseysWorld is revealed, the #fakeparody will come of age.

Everyone seems to know better than Morrissey how Morrissey would spend his time on Twitter.

FROM @Menippus: @MorrisseyParody How would other historical greats behave on Twitter? Can we imagine?

@Menippus Jesus would arrive in a cloud of humility and forgive all. Within three months he'd be deriding @richardm56 and blocking people.

FROM @Tabootlb: @MorrisseyParodyIf Jesus was on twitter nobody would believe it was him so he would have no followers xxx

@tabootlb That rings a bell.

@Menippus Adolf Hitler would presumably tweet pictures of shirtless blonde men and vegetarian snacks - like @BoyGeorge actually.

The only life lesson I've learned is that life lessons are overrated.

We all go through life avoiding questions, and we all die asking them. Why?

FROM @Roosfle: @MorrisseyParody Yes, we should just stop avoiding questions. So.... Are you the real Morrissey?

@roosfle Yes I am.

MORRISSEY PROVING(?) THAT HE IS MORRISSEYSWORLD ON THE CONAN SHOW

Forget the quote, "No man is an island", the above quote from Morrissey's parody double has trumped it, and is probably my favourite quote so far, in this whole, wonderful, and quite phenomenal journey.

 Our Mozzer posted the above quote on twitter a couple of days ago, to show his frustration that nobody was interacting with him. In years to come, philosophers will be analysing it's meaning, with some professing, *adopts philosophers voice* "What Morrissey was trying to say with this tweet, is that he wasn't just on twitter to provide light for everybody else, but that he needed light too." Others will say, "this tweet is Morrissey saying that he is not a rigid object with no feelings." Personally, I have interpreted the tweet to mean, "I am not prepared to stand here whilst dogs piss on me." Whatever it's meaning, it is a great quote, among many, many other gems that Parody Moz has produced over the past 48 hours of virtually non stop tweeting.

It would appear that the whole Jonathan Ross thing from yesterday has gone COMPLETELY unnoticed, and the MorrisseysWorld phenomenon continues right in front of everybody, with NOBODY seeing! The number of Parody Morrissey's twitter followers has jumped to 316, but will the masses come this time around, or will Moz STILL manage to keep himself under the radar? When I discovered the original MW twitter account in September 2011, there were 334 followers, and here we are 28 months later, back where I came in! It really is PHENOMENAL.


 God, this journey is exciting.... but exhausting too. Morrissey and his pessoas/friends/characters are SO active at the moment, that I am finding it hard to keep up. Somehow I am trying to work full time in the day, and then spend the evenings at home as a caring, loving, father and husband, but it ain't easy, especially with this bastard blog to write, but it has to be done, this IS history.

 We can go months and months with NO activity from Moz, and then BAM (No, not Brooklyn Academy of Music), he's awake virtually 24 hours a day, bombarding us with the sort of entertainment that money just can't buy.


Morrissey's mind must be SO active, and I get the feeling he is even more mentally active when a tour is approaching. It is surely only days before a tour is announced.

My latest theory is that Morrissey is using twitter in the same way that Steve Coogan would use a tv or stage show. Coogan has Alan Partridge, Paul and Pauline Calf, Gareth Cheeseman etc, where as Morrissey, who is every bit a comedy writer in the same way vein as Coogan, has produced characters such as; Parody Moz, an exact replica of the real Morrissey, Broken, a failed medic with a taste for footballers, Greyer Girl, a twice divorced bitchy older woman, and Kate 'Dolly' Ryan, an unhinged woman in her thirties. Morrissey's interactive play is set online, in a place known as The Twitterdilly Arms.

Not only do we have the likes of Kate Ryan, sat in a quiet corner of The Twit Arms; writing her play, and talking to herself, but the beauty of Morrissey's online play, is that other characters, not created by Morrissey also enter the play. Characters such as me, a Morrissey obsessed blogger, living in a bedsit, trying desperately to be Parody Moz's 'best friend', and Marcus, a part time playwright from London, who resorts to pimping himself around Wandsworth Cinewrold, and Sabine, a cycling German housewife living in Coventry, plus Romina, a bored Italian housewife with pigeon English, and MancLad, an airport worker from Manchester, who likes his tipple. It's a fantastic concept, and as Parody Moz tweeted the other day, "I can't believe that nobody has done this before."

And with regards to the WHOLE MorrisseysWorld and Blue Rose phenomenon, here is how Moz himself has summed it up:

"This is too complex for mass-acceptance. Simply luxuriate in the parody/wisdom/poet/c*** dynamic." - Parody Morrissey January 8th 2014

I would dearly love to post all of Morrissey's tweets on this silly little blog of mine, but there are now so many, it would be impossible, but here is a selection of tweets from Parody Moz from a couple of days ago. If the account remains online, I will attempt to find time to copy some more, and post them tomorrow.

Highlights from @MorrisseyParody:


If only one could retweet one's own tweets; but WHO ELSE would try?

Is the #BlueRoseSociety back in full flow?

Twitter is back, the blog is back, El Presidente is planning a new video, and @Wossy searched for my tweet among thousands.


THE BLUE ROSE SOCIETY'S EL PRESIDENTE - KYLE FROM LONG ISLAND (WHOSE NEW VIDEO HAS TODAY BEEN POSTED ON THE MORRISSEYSWORLD BLOG, AND CAN BE SEEN HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud81NXq5kKc)



Being lonely and elegant in your 50s is quite an achievement.

If I donated my blood, I'm quite sure it would be rejected.

I'm O positive, ironically.


O POSITIVE - ANOTHER 'CLASSIC' COMEDY QUOTE FROM PARODY MOZ.... AND PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME THAT MORRISSEY'S BLOOD GROUP HAS BEEN MADE PUBLIC... NOT THAT ANYBODY WILL NOTICE!

"A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally." Wilde





If I start using Instagram and wearing bracelets, employ six male dancers and keep flicking my fringe, might I get a record deal then?


Which of my tweets do you prefer? Wildean wit? Poetic lilt? Needless bitchery? Enigmatic implication? Blog-related facts? Friendly hello?

Is there a collection of people on the planet duller than Union J?

FROM @PapaSonsFilm: We are expressions of the same consciousness, yes. Don't get too excited. It includes Union J.

Are Union J conscious?


UNION J CLOTH - CONSCIOUS? THE ONE ON THE LEFT LOOKS A BIT MOZ LIKE.... ACTUALLY, THE ONE IN THE BLACK JACKET COULD BE MARR! THEY'RE JUST LIKE THE SMITHS!!!

@boz_boorer some white grapes please, old son.

FROM ME: @MorrisseyParody Why the white grapes?

@TheRatsBack@Boz_Boorer Don't be over-familiar old son. I've excommunicated people for less. #EnigmaticOthernessFactor


@TheRatsBackPoor choice of words old friend. By 'lay into' I presume you meant 'conjure up mesmerizing words of witty reproach for'

@comradeharps @TheRatsBack @heathercat222 @AIRRAID25 In years to come, people will write about this twitter account and my blog.

Only those of us who shared the journey will understand.

FROM @comradeharps: @MorrisseyParody Will Johnny Rogan write it? Mick Middles? Preferably Mark Simpson?

@comradeharps@TheRatsBack@heathercat222@AIRRAID25 Mark Simpson is the world's oldest adolescent.


ADOLESCENT


Birth is crude, life is crude, death is crude; art is the exception.

FROM @PapaSonsFilm: @MorrisseyParody@greyergirl@TheRatsBack You're far too wise to be a parody.

@PapaSonsFilm@greyergirl@TheRatsBack This is too complex for mass-acceptance. Simply luxuriate in the parody/wisdom/poet/c*** dynamic.
