Relation To Books Mozipedia: The Encyclopedia of Morrissey and The Smiths

Steven Patrick Morrissey is one of the most original and controversial voices in the history of popular music. With The Smiths, he led the most influential British guitar group of the 1980s, his enigmatic wit and style defining a generation. As a solo artist, he has continued to broach subjects no other singer would dare.
Worshipped by some, vilified by others, Morrissey is a unique rock and roll creation. The 300,000 words of "Mozipedia" make this the most intimate and in-depth biographical portrait of the man and his music yet. Bringing together every song, album, collaborator, key location, every hero, book, film and record to have influenced his art, it is the summation of years of meticulous research. Morrissey authority Simon Goddard has interviewed almost everybody of any importance, making "Mozipedia" the last word on Morrissey and The Smiths.

Commentary Of Books Mozipedia: The Encyclopedia of Morrissey and The Smiths

This was a well written and researched book. As a ridiculous Smiths/Morrissey fangirl, I really enjoyed reading through these entries even though I'm not sure that this book was supposed to be read cover to cover. As interesting as it was, by the time I got to the last entries it was a bit tiring to read another entry about a "kitchen sink drama" that Morrissey loved. but still a very good book.

A tremendous, exhaustive compendium that's an absolute "must" for any Smiths/Morrissey apostle. No stone is left unturned, no itch is left unscratched, no pancake is left untossed. If you love the subject but don't have this book, why??? Buy it.

I read this straight through even though it is an encyclopedia. Of course it is full or rumors and editorial bias about the music, but I did like it for the insight into the recording of the songs and to get a better idea of when all the early Moz solo career stuff was recorded. I could care less what bad movies from the 50's Moz watched, but on the other hand it was interesting to hear what music he and Johnny were listening to at the time they were making Smiths records.

A must for any Smiths/Moz fan. Just an incredible amount of detail and back story.



How could I not love reading about the delightful Morrissey? Luxuriously comprehensive.
