Morrissey,\u00a0<\/strong>finalmente y despu\u00e9s de a\u00f1os de espera y especulaci\u00f3n, decidi\u00f3 publicar sus vivencias en un libro que, desde su lanzamiento y como es costumbre con el prodigio de Manchester, caus\u00f3 pol\u00e9mica al ser publicado por la editorial Penguin en su secci\u00f3n de cl\u00e1sicos donde se encuentran \u00fanicamente monstruos como\u00a0Joyce<\/strong>\u00a0y\u00a0Dickens<\/strong>. As\u00ed es como este es el primer libro contempor\u00e1neo que Penguin Classics publica como un cl\u00e1sico instant\u00e1neo.<\/em><\/p>\n M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de sus obsesi\u00f3n con\u00a0Shelagh Delaney<\/strong>,\u00a0James Dean<\/strong>\u00a0y una infinidad de celebridades, su odio hacia la monarqu\u00eda inglesa, su repudio al Thatcherismo, la muerte de varios miembros de su familia y su amistad con\u00a0James Maker\u00a0<\/strong>y\u00a0Linder Sterling<\/strong>, aqu\u00ed un resumen en palabras de\u00a0Morrissey\u00a0<\/strong>sobre lo que dispar\u00f3 su genio y que m\u00e1s tarde, cristalizar\u00eda en arte con\u00a0The Smiths.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThese small black discs are the first things that are truly mine; my choice, paid for with my own scraps of cash, reflecting my own stubbornness. In a dream , I watch them spin and spin, calling out, pointing the way. These are the days when very few people collect records, so therefore whatever they might buy defines their secret heart.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cthe magical properties of recorded noise had trapped me from 1965 onwards. Song made a difference to everything, and permitted expressions that otherwise had no way through\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe Paul Marsh record shop on Alexandra Road had been my Eton, a temple of Holy Scriptures and evangelical hope. Nothing else could be worth knowing\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMy very first disc had been Come and stay with me by Marianne Faithfull\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMy face had by now taken on the demeanor of continual deep regret, which only music could soothe\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt seemed to me that it was only within British pop music that almost anything could happen. Every other mode of expression seemed fixed and predictable and slow\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n \u201call human activity is fruitless when pitted against the girls and boys singing on pop television, for they have found the answer as the rest of us search for the question\u201d [Top Of The Tops]<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHere and there my eyes and ears are caught only by the solo singers; town-crying to all people at all times, television troubadours minus jingle-jangle nodding musicians”<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe song bears witness, the body weaves and there are no camera cuts to blandly smiling session-players when all we want to see is the sculptured singer alone, carrying all\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere is no way out for the solo singer; introduction, statement, conclusion, quick death \u2013 all conveyed in the pop sonnet, with no winking glance over the guitarist in order to ease the setting\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201clike the science of sings, I am called to, because the song is the art of using language as persuasion, and with that allowance and this hope, I want to cry\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Loudly and wildly the music played, always pointing to the light, to the way out, or the way in, to individualism, and to the remarkable if unsettling notion that life could possibly be lived as you might wish it to be lived\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe topsy- turvydom of 1972 had brought an explosion of music and art and newness into my life and I was now in full self-development mode and desperate to be free of censure\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAs David Bowie appears, the child dies. The vision is profound \u2013 a sanity heralding the coming of consciousness from someone who \u2013 at last! \u2013 transcends our gloomy coal-fire existence\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cDavid Bowie is detached from everything, yet open to everything; stripped of the notion that both art and life are impossible. He is quite real, impossibly glamorous, fearless, and quite British. How could this possibly be?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWearing makeup and an extreme mantle of pride, Bolan didn\u00b4t seem to have any life other than song\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMarc Bolan\u00b4s lyrics are steeped in the quietly insane world of the gothic English novel, and are too deeply eccentric to survive any explanation\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cT. Rex are my first concert\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIn this year I also see Mott The Hoople and Lou Reed live, and my senses never return\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cLou Reed is unimpressed by applause, and lives a life detached from custom. His stare is cold and his romanticism is brutal\u2026he might drop dead any second, and is therefore the real thing\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBowie\u00b4s extraordinary effect of menace upon British culture is largely forgotten now, but I watched it break like a thundercloud in 1972, and its presence was as volcanic as that which later would be termed punk\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI allowed Horses by Patti Smith to enter my body like a spear, and as I listened to the bare lyrics of public lecture, I examined the genderless singer on the heavyweight album sleeve\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cPatti Smith was the cynical voice radiating love; pain sourced as inspiration, an individual mission drunk on words\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cUnfulfilled as a woman, impotent as a man\u201d [Patti Smith]<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe Ramones are models of ill-health, playing backwards\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cSinger Joey [Ramone] looked as if he had been murdered in a hospital bed. I\u00b4ve found my twin\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cLipsticked Iggy was tougher than them all, and each night on stage he sang and he moved as if he might possibly die at any moment\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIggy Pop, Lou Reed and Patti Smith have secrets that have never been lost because the inquisitive mind can\u00b4t get in. This trinity is decorative art with an incredible understanding of effect\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe Sex Pistols are the first British band whose social importance appears to be instantly recognized”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cTheir singer is a striking Dickensian original; a pop eyed Wilfred Bramble, but aged 19, and I am fascinated to discover that the Sex Pistols loathe and despise everyone on earth expect the New York Dolls\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cNico was an unclassifiable artists and largely disregarded as a gifted amateur who took far too much refuge in horror\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI reassure her four studio albums, none of which contain the faintest hint of hope\u201d [Nico]<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAn even darker force controlled the personalities of The New York Dolls, who are younger than Bowie and who are more-or less transgender in appearance\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMelody Maker announces them as \u2018the world\u00b4s first homosexual rock band\u2019, which of course, is what they are not\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe Dolls are menacing rent boys who are forcing the world to deal with them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe New York Dolls were chaotic because they were themselves; their own creation\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe Dolls are legless realism \u2013 wired and rigged honest trash scraped up tff New York\u00b4s back alleys, banished from the communities of the living\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe opposite of polite and antiseptic\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe confusion with the Dolls is that their scumsucker rough-trade drag contrasted with the truth of their wise-guy personalities. The Dolls were actually the toughest band on earth, and their appearance proved it\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe Dolls were the slum of all failures, had nothing to lose, and could scarcely differentiate between night and day\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cappearance is a new debate in rock music, and the counterculture of the New York Dolls is an infinite landscape\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe New York Dolls were the first band who equaled each other in demeanor and effect; in essence, the most perfect looking pop group \u2013 minus that hesitant component who wasn\u00b4t quite sure of his connection with others\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Morrissey – Autobiograf\u00eda: M\u00fasica (Citas) Morrissey,\u00a0finalmente y despu\u00e9s de a\u00f1os de espera y especulaci\u00f3n, decidi\u00f3 publicar sus vivencias en un libro que, desde su lanzamiento y como es costumbre con el prodigio de Manchester, caus\u00f3 pol\u00e9mica al ser publicado por la editorial Penguin en su secci\u00f3n de cl\u00e1sicos donde se encuentran \u00fanicamente monstruos como\u00a0Joyce\u00a0y\u00a0Dickens.
