40 years since #TheSmiths exploded, I think it's about time Joe Moss had his right of reply to Morrissey's damning claims. After my Dad died, I found some words written about him on Morrissey fan sites, a portion of these fans were dissing him, calling him names
That's hard to read, people dissing your dead parent, people who don't know him, people following the lead from Morrissey, who barely knew him, but decided to immortalise him anyway by writing negatively about him, so casting my Dad that way in the eyes of the Morrissey faithful
Pretty nasty stuff, and we've never replied to it, but the gist was, among other things, that Joe Moss wanted to replace Morrissey in the Smiths. This does seem ludicrous and paranoid, but what if it were true? why would he want to get rid of Morrissey?

Ancora tu? Per sempre tu - dopo quattro album in studio passati quasi completamente in sordina in Italia, si torna a parlare di #Morrissey. L’ex frontman degli Smiths ha pubblicato, il 26 novembre, il suo nuovo singolo “Rebels Without Applause”.

Appena premuto “play” ci si ritrova ai tempi di The Queen Is Dead. L’istinto è quello di cantare Cemetey Gates ed oltre al sound degli Smiths, ritroviamo anche la voce raffinata, baritonale ed iconica, che da sempre contraddistingue e rende subito riconoscibili i suoi brani.
Il testo ai suoi amori (musicali) scomparsi come Lou Reed e David Bowie, due grandi amici del vecchio Moz, che ci canta: “I who saw them leave, I cry bereaved. The gang’s all gone and now I am the only one. Last on the bill, I see them still, rebels without applause.” 
Since it's #NationalComingOutDay - @NME lied about Morrissey's 1992 Madstock gig because Skrewdriver's roadie & ex National Front organizer, Nicky Crane had just come out as gay on a @Channel4 documentary about gay skinhead subculture called the Skin Complex.
Madness lead singer, Suggs, had been friends with Skrewdriver's lead singer, Ian Stuart Donaldson, before Skrewdriver rebranded as neo-Nazi in 1982 and Madness was rumoured to have a National Front following.
The National Front was outside the Madstock gig venue to attack an Irish Republican march. They were connected to Northern Ireland's protestant loyalists. Johnny 'Mad Dog' Adair (below left) started his paramilitary career in the National Front.
