The Morose Morrissey
by Rak N. Rowling
In the advent of Morrissey's Manila concert, I'm honoring his visit by posting this Morrissey compilation. Here is my list of great Morrissey songs. Not necessarily Morrissey's hits but just down to the unpopular if not morose. And luckily we have the internet. I got to learn more about this talented musician. I collected a number of facts, trivia and quotes about him. Some may not have been updated but feel free to comment.

TRIVIA
Morrissey was born Steven Patrick Morrissey on May 22nd 1959 at Park Hospital in Davyhulme, England (now called Trafford General Hospital). He began going by just "Morrissey" around the time the Smiths began. He said it was because it was a new beginning for him, and he wanted to forgot the old "clumsy and shy" Steven.
Moz's marital status, single as it gets.
He hasn't got any children, and it doesn't look like he's going to. See (I'm) The End Of The Family Line.
"Moz", "Mozzer", "Mozza" nick-names were coined during the Smiths days by the NME in Britain.
Moz is of Catholic roots but is non-religious himself, with seeming inclinations towards atheism.
In February 2006, Morrissey said he had been interviewed by the FBI and by British intelligence after having spoken out against the American and British governments.
Morrissey has severely criticized: Madonna, David Bowie and George Michael, The Cure's Robert Smith (who was quoted as saying, "If Morrissey says don't eat meat, then I'll eat meat, because I hate Morrissey").
Morrissey also once openly wished that "Morrissey & Marr: The Severed Alliance" author Johnny Rogan "ends his days very soon in an M3 pile-up".
In 1992, Morrissey's album Your Arsenal earned a Grammy nomination for best alternative rock album.
Morrissey was the president of The New York Dolls fan club in the 70s at the age of 18.
Morrissey's favourite Smiths songs are I Keep Mine Hidden and Shoplifters Of The World and probably many more...
QUOTES
"Long hair is an unpardonable offense which should be punishable by death."
"I do think it's possible to go through life and never fall in love, or find someone who loves you."
"That's why I do this music business thing, it's communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up."
"Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous
or you're boring, regardless of your age."
