I went to the new Urbis Museum in Manchester yesterday, points of interest to us Smiths/Moz fans...

1. In the music booth there's a Smiths poster & it plays a snippet of "Rusholme Ruffians".
2. Just outside of the music booth is a large poster of the Salford Lads Club sign.
3. On the ground floor, etched into a glass panel are the lines "Manchester, so much to answer for".
4. In the shop they are selling copies of the book "Morrissey's Manchester".

    the best form of revenge is to live well.
  • So fucking what. Manchester is just a hovel of provincial homes, cloth caps, shit football teams and its full of retards eating Bettys Hot Pot, making black pudding and I hate your horrendous nasal northern accent.

    All my love

  • The Strangeways Here We Come sleeve is on 'display'.

    There is a film about Morrissey fans on a loop in the CIS gallery.

    In the next room is a photographic shot of some graffiti reading "Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Fu...".

  • A few weeks ago, I mailed a poll, if there should
    be a Morrissey/Smiths museum.

    My thoughts were that the city of Manchester
    should buy Morrissey's old house [384 Kings Road]
    and make a real museum.

    Well I wrote down a few other options.

    But hey, a Morrissey/Smiths museum, with a
    shop for buying t's , posters,etc.
    I think it's time, there are still a lot of people
    coming to Manchester [an other option is London]
    to visit 'the places' we all know,and a museum
    would be an extra place to visit.

    And doesn't Morrissey deserve one?
