Songs of Praise

The rumours (rumors) were correct, 'The Book' is to be published in America on December 3rd, so pin yourselves down, Morrissey's going to hit the heights.

Despite 'The Book' already having gained huge critical acclaim (the critics can't quite believe that a 'Pop singer' can actually write!), NONE of the reviewers have any idea that this is NOT a straight forward autobiography. As we already know, Autobiography is intricately connected to the MorrisseysWorld blog, from the first section about Morrissey's birth, to the use of the words like 'indefatigable' (page 139), 'Morrisseyland' (page 284) and 'mesmerizing' (page 364). I am also drawn to the use of the word 'nixed' (page 391), which is a term used by the 'character' Jody Road. I still believe that one day this will all come out in the wash, and historians will be writing and talking about the genius of the MorriseysWorld blog, but whether this happens in Morrissey's lifetime or not, is in the hands of him alone. I also believe that FollowingTheMozziah will play a role (as the evidence), and the 'Deluded Dozen' will be the centre (center) piece to the story.

I may be completely wrong, but I can't stop thinking that there may well be a hidden code for the Blue Rose Society in Autobiography, and I'm not referring to all the 'rat' mentions. Broken yesterday left a comment about me on my blog saying, "he's probably looking at the first letters of each sentence and trying to find a viable message." Could Broken's throw away comment actually have had some substance? Well, there is no way that I am ploughing (plowing?) through the whole book trying to piece such a thing together on the off-chance, but maybe one day, just like with the Da Vinci Code, 'The Book' will be proven to hold a sign.

Lizzy Cat reported yesterday that Broken has been hanging around the MW chat room in recent days, but I have had no chance to l'OO'k in, as my mother (and her Daily Mail) has come to stay for the week. Having anybody come in to your home is always a bit of a challenge, but here is an example of a conversation from yesterday evening, when I was sat quietly reading 'The Book'.

Mother Rat: "Did you hear that Prince Harry has broken his toe?"

TRB: (looking completely disinterested) "No"

Mother Rat: "It doesn't say how he did it."

TRB: "I expect he was kicking himself for being a cu..."

Mrs TRB:..."Cup of tea anyone?"

Mother Rat: "Ooh, yes please."

(I carry on reading 'The Book', and there is silence for approximately ten minutes until...)

Mother Rat: "Did I ask you if you'd heard about Prince Harry breaking his toe?"

TRB: (not looking up from book) "Yes, I believe you did."

Mum: "They won't say how he did it, they just say it was a private matter."

THUD! 

Five days left, and counting. Never was I so eager to go to work as I was this morning.


Morrissey must be in a very positive frame of mind at the moment, because although 'The Book' has been knocked off the top spot in the UK book charts by Alex Ferguson's autobiography, Morrissey has issued the following TTY statement:

Chart news

Broken also left comment yesterday to say that he has another parody piece ready for publication, so I wait with great excitement to receive it, and am also waiting for the 'Exclusive' as promised by Our Mozzer last week.

And finally, as mentioned yesterday, for anybody who may be remotely interested, here is the list of all the songs in 'The Book':
