There's been a lot
of alternative covers for Moz's autobiography floating around, see here http://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2013/oct/16/morrisseys-autobiography-15-alternative-front-covers
My favourite was the
one that read simply 'Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me
Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me MeMe Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Johnny Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me
Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me'. Skirts over the time of
The Smiths, and more time is dedicated to the court case and how Moz was the
victim of the biggest injustice ever witnesses in a court of law. Mostly score
settling and myth peddling, but the early chapters on his childhood are written
with beauty and Moz's normal disregard for truth. 'Asterix & The Picts' is
the first book produced without the sole involvement of Goscinny and Uderzo,
but since the death of Rene Goscinny the stories have been iffy anyway, even if
the illustrations remain faithful. Anthea Bell is on translation duty again,
but it didn’t seem to have the same amount of genius punning and ambitious
landscape/cityscape pictures of the early books.
It's getting dark by
4 o'clock now, but we're still cycling back with lights blazing. I'm really
keen to keep it up although it's a logistical ballache. Helen can't really
cycle down in the morning now she's expecting so I have to drop the bike at
Gemma's first thing in the morning before heading for a run/the gym.
