My Take

Morrissey fascinates me the way few songwriters do: he turned self-pity into high art and made misery feel like a shared club membership. As the Smiths' lyricist he gave a voice to the awkward and the unloved, and his solo career proved that the voice was his alone, not the band's. I will not pretend he is easy to defend — his provocations have alienated plenty of admirers, me included at times. Yet whenever I return to the songs, the wit and vulnerability remain undeniable. Loving Morrissey's work while arguing with the man is, I suspect, exactly the relationship he intends.
