Morrissey's mum RIP

Apparently Moz's mum lived in Bowdon, and has very recently died so down a little street hundreds of Moz and Smiths fans have laid out flowers as a tribute. Strangely, someone has written "Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head" in big letters on the wall, which is hilariously morbid, although I was expecting it to say, "Morrissey you massive racist" instead.

Can I lay a Rubber Ring instead of a wreath?

Oh oh, smother me mother.

Shame now she didn't, eh readers?

Do you think when they had the funeral somebody said to Morrissey that "I will meet you at the cemetery gates"

My mate worked in Waitrose in Altrincham and Morrissey was an occasional visitor, presumably to buy stuff for his mum. Johnny Marr was seen there too. I've had some awkward encounters bumping into people in a supermarket aisle, but that would take the biscuit.

He was also called to the check-out once because some guy was getting aggro. When he arrived he saw what looked like a homeless guy mouthing off about the plastic bag charge, but it was actually Ian Brown.

I've now got 3 things in common with Morrissey- a mum dying in 2020 is one, can any listeners guess the other 2?

Agreed to do a reunion with Johnny Marr and then never spoke to him again.
Massive racist.

My hairline is as thick and lustrous as it's ever been.

My only interaction with Johnny Marr was when I asked him who did his roots on Twitter.com (he said David Hockney)

I am not a racist

Sorry to hear that about your Mum. Hope you are doing okay.

I'm alright. Keeping going.

Your name is Steven.

You once rolled a union jack into a giant spliff and smoked it on stage.


Had a table lamp you couldn't switch off with a bulb that's still running 15 years later, confounding all electricians.

Intended to go out but own no clothes.

These are all good answers but so far no correct answers.

I tried being a vegetarian but it didn't take after a hangover.
No about the flowers.

Social Distancing would actually be a really good name for a Morrissey album.

This game has gone on too long

2- We both don't like reggae

His mum was a big influence on him, judging by that terrible film from a few years ago, so he might get some new material out of it.

Is he even going to be able to attend the funeral? I haven't even considered getting a flight this year because of Covid, but there's all sort of restrictions and quarantine stuff going on. This is assuming he still lives in LA, which he probably does.

I occasionally see Johnny Marr in Altrincham. Last time was in Tesco. He was wearing a gold, shiny tracksuit. He carried it off too.

I once  saw Mick Hucknell in Safeways in Chorlton cum Hardy. In 1992.

Of course, they're all Chorlton cum Hardy by the time Hucknall's finished with them.

Of course at the time Money's Too Tight To Mention so when Mick got to the checkout he realised he didn't have enough and had to Hold Back The Beers, because he had a bit of a chekky Pleasure At The Arcades On The Way.

Is it because of the 2/4 or because you're a tremendous racist?

Bob Marley has tainted the whole genre. And, it all sounds the same. Irie.
