I don't need to say here Moz is an ideologist, and all ideologists are commonly interpreted as immature, but, there, I said it. I think that commentator, by the way, if he had a clearer mind, would quit his profession, and become a businessman or an accountant. Oh, but why, silly me, if he already is the O'Riley of the music world...

Morrissey has never been any more depressed than the rest of us; he's simply a deep thinker with an astonishingly accurate outlook on the human race. That's not depression, it's (un)healthy cynicism.
The problem with most journos and musicians is jealousy. They witness someone who's infinitely more intelligent and talented than they'll ever be and they have to write him off disparagingly (and ok, this was a complimentary piece, but it's complimentary with a shifty elbow in the ribs)
Besides, the 'D' word gets bandied about too much these days, which trivialises the condition. As an open question to anyone who does think Moz or The Smiths were depressing: Have you ever witnessed real depression? There's no way the man we love would ever have written or be capable of writing those lyrics (some of which are hilarious) had he been truly suffering.
