Poor Morrissey.I`m sure he must come on here occassionally and if he does I hope he doesn`t see this!!I guess a lot may amuse him,all the finite details of his enigmatic life analysed(I`m guilty too)but practically writing him off and discussing what he`s going to be like in his dotage is too much!!
Is the person who started this thread a mere child that thinks once your`e in your forties you are on the homeward straight?Well if he does he bloody well won`t when he gets there himself.
Since when is late forties old anyway?Johnny Depp`s about the same age.George Cloony is older and they are pretty fit.
Personally I prefer Morrissey as he is now,I was never one for the waif like appearance and his voice is much richer now as well.He`ll probably age like the rest of us unless he resorts to botox or something worse.
I spoke recently to some blokes I`d gone to school with who had seen Moz on his Uk tour at a concert a day or so after one I`d been too.W`ed been friends at school and w`ed all loved the Smiths(We are 36-37) and they said to me he was looking old.That it was sad to see.I felt like telling them to invest in a full length mirror.They failed to acknowledge that they were both bald and sporting a rather fetching beer belly.
No doubt Morrissey will retire to an Italian village high in the mountains,have lots of cats and pen lots of poems.Or write his memoirs-now thats worth hanging about for.He will be a lovely old man same as he`s always been.And even if he does get a bit cantankerous I doubt there will be a significant other to bear the brunt.(I do hope there is though).
