I miss his shows... :/

Mozza is like Elvis - he can sing anything and it is his style.....I am sure Howard would appreciate it!

Morrisey has sung some good stuff but he hasn't done this classic song any justice at all. No guts. I think he dedicated a song to Howard once -" The Last International Playboy".

Bullshit cover.Absolutely no apologies for making this comment.

Agree. Even Lolita Pop made a better version of this song.



He didn't have to change the lyric to "Then I got tired of counting these so-called blessings". The notion that they were 'so-called' was already inferred. Less is more.

technically, it was implied, not inferred. and in the original it's implied by howard devoto's tone and delivery. morrissey's delivery is different in this, and maybe the same level of contempt and sarcasm wasn't coming across without changing the line. either way it means that morrissey's version is inferior, and of course it is, but i do like that morrissey put his spin on it. morrissey didn't really HAVE to do anything to the original, but what would be the fun in a rote recitation?
