QUOTE: “Heaven knows I’m miserable now.”
PROFILE: Rising out of Manchester, (Stephen) Morrissey added his poetic lyrics of adolescent misery and sexual woe to Johnny Marr’s hypnotic guitars, merging a danceable backbeat, taking Britain by storm—and becoming what many people will argue is one of, if not the greatest band in the world today.
