From a 2008 article in GQ where Morrissey was voted one of the year’s Best Dressed Men in Britain.
moving toward the dark
if we can’t find the courage to go on,
what will we do?
what should we do?
what would you do?
if we can’t find the courage to go on,
then
what day
what minute
in what year
did we go
wrong?
or was it an accumulation of all the
years?
I have some answers.
to die, yes.
to go mad, maybe.
or perhaps to
gamble everything away?
if we can’t find the courage to go on,
what should we do?
what did all the others
do?
they went on
living their lives,
badly.
we’ll do the same,
probably.
living too long
takes more than
time.
– Charles Bukowski

For the viewing pleasure of those who haven’t seen it before: short video of Johnny Marr having a chat to a bloke at the urinal about Bernard Sumner’s peeing habits. (Seriously.)
Enjoy… ;)

Jean-Paul Sartre art print by Standard Designs on Etsy.
I love that the same shop also sells a portrait of Simone de Beauvoir saying “Oh shut up, Sartre”. :D
Hi, I read something about a poem Morrissey wrote called Poppy - something, did you know where I can find it? Thanks. ♥ - Anonymous
I do - it’s called ‘Poppycocteau’ and it was printed (in Morrissey’s own handwriting) on a flexi disc that came free with an issue of The Catalogue in 1988. You can view it at morrisseyscans.com (just scroll down to the bottom of the page - it’s after the article).

Black Marble
Black Marble - “Pretender”
Philosophy student, library slave, Irish-Australian vegetarian asexual and probably a walking cliché. Bunburyist; omphaloskeptic; existentialist; back bedroom casualty. Interested in beat poetry, Greco-Roman mythology, Twin Peaks and the 1966 Batman series. Obsessed with Morrissey and Johnny Marr to the point of madness. I can't dance.
