And his greatest grievance is with Britain itself. A whole section, inexplicably, is devoted to Morrissey’s disgust at the conduct of British establishment during the second world war (along with a contemptuous repetition of the rumour that Winston Churchill and Ivor Novello were lovers, which is odd, given that he also complains that Churchill being credited with winning the war stole the credit from Alan Turing, denied glory because he was gay). Rare is the writer who is willing to complain that the big problem with Churchill during the war was that he was, frankly, a bit of a coward and unwilling to try to identify with the people he governed, but Morrissey is that writer. “Churchill himself would experience World War 2 safely and in a suite of rooms at Claridge’s most luxurious Mayfair hotel, with not a complicated twitch or pang to trouble his elaborate evening meal.” We’ll leave aside the fact that he makes it sound like Claridge’s is a chain, with the Mayfair branch simply its most upscale outpost – “Yeah, I was going to go stop at the Travelodge, but I got a deal on the Claridge’s at Peterborough services” – and instead note that the entire passage reads like a polemic written by a particularly single-minded street corner pamphleteer (see also Morrissey’s writing about the pernicious power of, wait for it, local television news. Damn you, Look North, with your hegemony!). Morrissey does not favour the light touch Could it be that Morrissey's life is a dull, solipsistic one, crowded with solitary pursuits like playing records and reading books, and so vividly marked by loneliness that by definition he can't possibly have engaged in tabloid-ready activities? Character upon character reminds us that justice and law are different things, and that the legal system is not to be trusted. That judge who branded Morrissey “devious, truculent and unreliable” and who failed to find in his favour when the Smiths’ rhythm section sought more money has not been forgiven. Even the “Fetch” Morrissey has referred to – a homeless man the four relay runners encounter in some woods – manages to get his dig at judges in before being unceremoniously killed. “Judges don’t live in the ghetto … they are exclusively verbal beings. What can they understand about the way life moves? … Would judges even recognize dog shit if they saw it? … Judges have to live in secrecy, don’t they, because they’ve done so much harm to society.” One half expects the character, with his dying breath, to sigh: “And Joyce and Rourke never deserved a penny!” Bafflingly, this American demon, in an American wood, speaking to American people, also wants to let them know that royalty is a meaningless concept. It’s possible, living in a republic, that they already knew that. Morrissey still has scores to settle (part two) Morrissey autobiography pulled at last minute following 'content disagreement' ".

White, Barbara. Golden, Howard (ed.). "Grow Your Dream". Body Mind Spirit. Golden Galleries. October 2012: 9 It’s commonplace in this kind of article to tell you we’re reading the book so you don’t have to. It’s a tease, usually. In the case of List of the Lost, however, it’s absolutely true. Do not read this book; do not sully yourself with it, no matter how temptingly brief it seems. All those who shepherded it to print should hang their heads in shame, for it’s hard to imagine anything this bad has been put between covers by anyone other than a vanity publisher. It is an unpolished turd of a book, the stale excrement of Morrissey’s imagination.
