As the band's frontman, Morrissey attracted attention both for his witty and sardonic lyrics and his idiosyncratic appearance; deliberately avoiding rock machismo, he cultivated the aesthetic of a social outsider who eschewed drugs and embraced celibacy.

He was also noted for his unusual baritone vocal style (though he sometimes uses falsetto).[5] The Smiths released five further albums—including the critically acclaimed Meat Is Murder and The Queen Is Dead—and had a string of hit singles.

Highly influential, Morrissey has been credited as a seminal figure in the emergence of indie rock and Britpop.

He has courted controversy with his forthright opinions—endorsing vegetarianism and animal rights, condemning royalty and prominent politicians, and questioning issues of British national and cultural identity.

In a 2. 00. 6 poll held by the BBC's Culture Show, Morrissey was voted the second greatest living British cultural icon, behind only David Attenborough. Early life[edit]Childhood: 1.

They had emigrated to Manchester from Dublin with his only sibling, elder sister Jacqueline, a year prior to his birth. They had given him the forename of Steven after the American actor Steve Cochran. His earliest home was a council house at 1. Harper Street in the Hulme area of inner Manchester. Living in that area, as a child he was deeply affected by the Moors murders in which a number of local children were murdered by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley; the killings had a lasting impression on him and would be referenced in the lyrics of the Smiths song "Suffer Little Children". He also became aware of the anti- Irish sentiment in British society against Irish migrants to Britain.

In 1. 97. 0 the family relocated to another council house at 3. King's Road, Stretford.

Following an early education at St. Wilfred's Primary School, Morrissey failed his 1. St. Mary's Technical Modern School, an experience that he found unpleasant. He excelled at athletics, although he was an unpopular loner at the school. He was critical of his formal education, later stating that "the education I received was so basically evil and brutal. All I learnt was to have no self- esteem and to feel ashamed without knowing why". He left school in 1.

He continued his education at Stretford Technical College, and there gained three O- levels in English Literature, Sociology, and the General Paper. Morrissey's mother, nicknamed Betty, was a librarian, and encouraged her son's interest in reading. In particular he adored the work of Irish author Oscar Wilde, whom he came to idolise. He also took an interest in reading feminist literature.

The young Morrissey was a keen fan of the television soap Coronation Street, which focused around working- class communities in Manchester; this love resulted in his authoring a number of scripts and storylines for the series which he sent to the show's production company, Granada TV, although all were rejected. He was similarly a keen fan of the playwright Shelagh Delaney's A Taste of Honey, as well as its 1. Salford. Many of his later songs would contain lyrics quoted directly from A Taste of Honey."I lost myself in music at a very early age, and I remained there ..

I did fall in love with the voices I heard, whether they were male or female. I loved those people.

I really, really did love those people. For what it was worth, I gave them my life .. Beyond the perimeter of pop music there was a drop at the end of the world."— Morrissey, 1.

The relationship between Morrissey's parents was strained, and they ultimately separated in December 1. Of his youth, Morrissey said, "Pop music was all I ever had, and it was completely entwined with the image of the pop star.

I remember feeling the person singing was actually with me and understood me and my predicament."[3. According to a later claim, the first record that he purchased was Marianne Faithfull's 1. Come and Stay With Me". During the 1. 97.

Josh Becker: Q & AName:             Nikolay Yeriomin. E- mail:            nikolayyeriomin@gmail. Date. 6/5/1. 6Dear Josh : Loved previous q& a's with Keith and Tim because it is quite an interesting "food for thoughts". If it is okay, I have a few comments and questions regarding what they were writing, so this message may be a little bit long (I hope that it may be separated if that will be more comfortable for you and/or webmasters).

Firstly, regarding Alfred Hitchcock (by the way, my all- time favorite director) - it should be noted that "Hitchock/Truffault", even though it is one of the greatest books on Hitchcock and movie- making in general is quite flawed by one thing in nearly any translation, that thing being the fact that all of the Hitchcock statements were translated in French and then book was again translated in English from that translation, so at times what Hitchcock actually said was somewhat paraphrased and may have affected the sense of a few statements. Secondly, a little thought on Hitchcock's movies - last summer I've discovered that I've actually haven't seen that much of his directorial works, mainly because in cases of one of the favorite directors dying or working rarely I usually postpone some movies in advance, just to have a few if I'll have some specific mood.

In case of Hitchcock, though, I understood it was quite pointless, because if counting his TV episodes and some other things he has quite a big filmography. So, I've started a tradition of sorts that I hope to continue this year - to pick five Hitchcock directorial works (from each decade of his career excluding the 7. I've seen everything) mostly at random and watch them on and around his birthday.

What I've picked in 2. The Pleasure Garden", "Jamaica Inn", "Spellbound", "The Trouble with Harry" and an episode of "Startime" named "Incident at a Corner". I can highly recommend each one of them (though "Spellbound" is probably the better one of them), but "Incident at a Corner" is especially recommended because it is mostly overlooked and forgotten, despite this little gem is actually pretty impressive. Thirdly, while I can understand your and Tim's concern of culture being "rotted", I have some optimism for it and I just believe that we're living in a period of quite a big shift and it's hard to judge the society which is in a constant stress and undergoes a process of certain social and cultural mutations. I'm quite concerned about culture as well because, well - mainstream culture seems less and less appealing to me.

Especially since younger people (of which I am, to some unfortunate extent) seem less and less tolerant to more individual and "unconventional" tastes and will try to force you to watch what they like, massively overreacting if you dislike their choice, forgetting that anyone has right to choose what he or she wants to watch. I'm quite tired of people shaming me for my dislike of "Game of Thrones" and "The Walking Dead" - while both series are very popular and acclaimed I just can't find anything of strong interest in both of them (not to mention that people fail to notice how much "Game of Thrones" is derivative to works of William Shakespeare) so I don't have a point to watch them. But I hope that such "Age of Overreacting" will eventually pass and we'll have some kind of renaissance.

I don't lose that hope because, well, even my dorm roommate (1. I'm of the same age gap and yet I can easily watch anything regardless of time period) loved "Lawrence of Arabia" and is amazed by Buster Keaton stunts (despite him being a parkour practitioner he just can't understand how some of them were executed) and another one of the same age is reading a lot and tries quite thoughtfully to compare and balance mainstream, independent and classic art. One of my best friends who is essentially of my age disliked "The Hateful Eight", by the way and while I was okay with that movie I can totally see why and approve both his and yours concerns about it. Fourthly as you've asked for someone to pick ten greatest movies and albums of the past ten years (that should be the period of 2. I guess?) I might as well try to name at least movies.

But I should warn you that I'm casually watching some movies two or three years after the initial release, so I'm quite surely missed at least a few great titles. I'm also subjective, of course and will try to balance those movies which both I've found great and at least some significant amount of people enjoyed a lot as well, trying hard to limit it for one- two movies per year. My picks are (in chronological order): 1."Shaun of the Dead" (2. Dir. Edgar Wright (UK); 2."Takeshis'" (2. Dir. Takeshi Kitano (Japan); 3."A Scanner Darkly" (2. Dir. Richard Linklater (USA); 4."Reign Over Me" (2. Dir. Mike Binder (USA); 5."Serce na dloni" (2.

US as "And a Warm Heart" though the translation is "Heart in the Hand") Dir. Krzysztof Zanussi (Poland); 6."Drive" (2.

Dir. Nicolas Winding Refn (USA); 7."Fire. Crosser" (Toy. Khto. Proyshov. Kriz. Vohon) (2. Dir. Mykhailo Illienko (Ukraine); 8."L'écume des jours" (2. US as "Mood Indigo", though the translation is "The Foam of Days") Dir.

Michel Gondry (France); 9."The Guest" (2. Dir. Adam Wingard (USA); 1. Mad Max: Fury Road" (2. Dir. George Miller, (Australia and USA). The problem is - great rarely equals life- changing personal favorites - if you'd asked to put a list of ten personal favorites a fewer of those will move from one list to another.

Yours sincerely,Nikolay Yeriomin.
