Hm, I ordered the autobio, but I don't have high hopes for it. I've been "over" Morrissey for a while now - I've always been able to appreciate his music, but I cringe when he opens his mouth for reasons other than singing. He just seems...cranky and mean. I don't think there is any other way to put it. He seems not-very-nice. :/

Of course, there is nothing that says famous people or our "idols" or whatever have to be good people, but with the combination of the comments he's made over the years and the things I've read about the autobio (including what you wrote above) just seems to indicate someone who desperately wants to be witty and interesting and talked about. He definitely gets talked about but as time goes on, it is more about him being the joke than making the joke. His incessant narcissism is not interesting, imo. And his attempts at being witty often fall flat or just are mean-spirited. All in all, I stand by my assessment of not very nice.

I'll still read the book and still listen to his music but I think I am completely and totally over Morrissey the "person" - whoever he really is.

Also, re Nymphomaniac - all of the posters are amazing, lol. I really want to see it.

Yes well I mean this is the thing if you're over him (as I am too), there is little to keep you basically liking him, very very little to admire about him personally apart from his music and even that I find is slipping for me (there's little on his recent albums that I like).

I mean my thing is that at least if you're boring don't go around calling everyone else boring, or if you're mean spirited and miserable then don't call others it. It's just so much easier to point the blame at other people than it is to examine your own traits and faults. He's deluded about the person he is and expects the reader to support the delusion of who he is whilst they read and it's like lol no. I mean if he'd even made a good case for his delusions it might be one thing but he just expects faith to be had in him that suggests all these years of worshipers for fans has gone to his head.

But yeah I mean maybe you'll have more sympathy for him than me if you read it.

AND YES NYMPHOMANIAC IS SOMETHING I MUST SEE BECAUSE JAMIE BELLE BUT I MEAN IT'S SO MYSTERIOUS AND RACY AND YEAH

I mean it's all these stories you hear in the press of them grafting the actors faces onto porn actors bodies and the unsimulated sex angle - things like that set expectations very high for it to at the very least be peculiar.
