My story is really simple. The love me and my family have for Morrissey, I don’t think can be explained. I used to think how can we feel this way about a singer. But it’s quite simple. He’s impacted our lives through music.
As we get older it is just more and more obvious, he’s a living human God symbol, if that makes sense. Memories is all we leave behind when we die so I’m glad to leave my kids something that they can always remember, and maybe listening and knowing Morrissey the way we can, it will make them better people in some kind of way. It did for me.
Anyway love u, my kids love u, my wife loves you… Love love love to the one and only MORRISSEY….
