Morrissey's Re-emergence. How Amazingly Fantastic.

"I am thrilled to see Morrissey back in the spotlight. As I feel myself getting older I now appreciate Morrissey's lyrics as I can more deeply connect with his literary references and influences, then when I was 14 in 1984 and it was the Smiths, not the solo artist I was a fan of. I can now connect with the obvious works of Oscar Wilde, the creative 'A Taste of Honey', and after living in London for two years I can connect with his 'Northern' ethos/pathos and his championing of the 'Northern' (UK) woman.
What more can I say that has not already been said? Morrissey is a love/hate artist. I have never met someone in the middle (they obviously exist but Stephen Patrick does not elicit lukewarm responses).
