i doubt that but it does make you wonder if he had a contractual stipulation not to have an editor because no editor worth their salt and none working for penguin main-line would let that through, surely.

i understand what you mean, i think but:
Rare is the writer who is willing to complain that the big problem with Churchill during the war was that he was, frankly, a bit of a coward and unwilling to try to identify with the people he governed, but Morrissey is that writer. “Churchill himself would experience World War 2 safely and in a suite of rooms at Claridge’s most luxurious Mayfair hotel, with not a complicated twitch or pang to trouble his elaborate evening meal.” We’ll leave aside the fact that he makes it sound like Claridge’s is a chain, with the Mayfair branch simply its most upscale outpost – “Yeah, I was going to go stop at the Travelodge, but I got a deal on the Claridge’s at Peterborough services” – and instead note that the entire passage reads like a polemic written by a particularly single-minded street corner pamphleteer (see also Morrissey’s writing about the pernicious power of, wait for it, local television news. Damn you, Look North, with your hegemony!).
no editor would have let "a suite of rooms at Claridge’s most luxurious Mayfair hotel," slip through the net unless they were terrified of moz or a fanboy and therefore not a good editor (if there was one, as i said).
i would love one for my posts and i do need one, as you can tell.

My drive to work is too long and I often ponder about things, sometimes to get my brain away from "work".
Anyway, partly triggered by that Daily Mail banner headline that seemed to be suggesting the deaths of David Bowie and Terry Wogan as some kind of competition and partly influenced by enjoying a Best of Morrissey ... I found myself pondering Morrissey's obituaries. How will he be described? Will he appear on the front pages of newspapers, aside from the Guardian and Independent?
(Its been a while since I played any Morrissey and I was struck by how odd/quirky/creative much of it was).
