Saint Morrissey and I

[dotinthesky]

A man who wrote a book about Morrissey, called "Saint Morrissey", was just interviewed on BBC6. The DJ then said listeners could win one of three copies of the book if they e-mailed her with the name of Morrissey's first single.

"Suedehead" I jumped!

Now I cross my fingers.

ED:

They will announce the three winners just after 14.30. Please cross yer fingers for me! Maybe they'll say my name on air?

ED PART 2:

And now she's playing 3 Smiths songs covered by other people. First up: Billy Bragg doing "Jeane"

Is it really obvious I have nothing to do at work?

I thought it was Everyday Is Like Sunday.

that was afterwards... I remember it being Suedehead because the Press at the time was very impressed he could come up with such a good single after the split.

that was mark simpson what wrote that book, right?
he's a character.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

he was very monosylabic though... i wanted him to say more but he just kept dodging the questions.

[5500.livejournal.com]

i think he prefers to be a bit of an enigma beyond the ranting persona of some of the stuff he writes. i spose he's just used to defending himself so much...

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

or trying to impersonate his idol?

[5500.livejournal.com]

hahahah. perhaps a bit of that, too.

although at least he owns up to being a queer. one must give him that.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I dunno hun! I hope you get them soon! stupid post office!!!!

if you don' get them by the end of the week I am going to send them again....and I will make sure they get there!

Re: I <3 Billy Bragg (and Morrisey)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

they said that, because of the strike, it would take 2 weeks for them to catch up with the backlog.... I'm sure it will arrive, but it will take a while... oh well, i'm sure the wait will be worth it.

:o)

Re: I <3 Billy Bragg (and Morrisey)

[4q.livejournal.com]

alright! those bastards! I will have to try and remember when I mailed them...what did they go on strike for anyway, it better have been something worthwhile

Re: I <3 Billy Bragg (and Morrisey)

apparently the Postal Management decided to change their working conditions from one day to the next, without even consulting them. I don't know the specifics, but I can see how that would suck...

Re: I <3 Billy Bragg (and Morrisey)

[4q.livejournal.com]

well that's okie then...they are allowed to strike for that

Here the post office has it so good, they even get their birthdays as a day holiday!

Re: I <3 Billy Bragg (and Morrisey)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

holy shit... that's awesome... i bet the American postal workers have shitty conditions. There's always someone "going postal" over there with a gun.

Re: I <3 Billy Bragg (and Morrisey)

[4q.livejournal.com]

ha ha! no kidding! I can't imagine it's a fun job. but in Canada the post has it goooood!

Re: I <3 Billy Bragg (and Morrisey)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

maybe I should send them my CV!

[shell-shock.livejournal.com]

i hope you win, good luck!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

just as she was going to announce, someone interrupted me... so I missed the names!

if I receive an email from them...

otherwise I'll just buy the damn book.
