      Been Getting into this band lately, but I’ve been wondering if Morrisy actually needs his Hearing Aid or if thats just part of his image (like the flowers)

          According to Allmusic.com, Moz was doing the hearing aid thing during the Smiths era.

            I don’t know, I’ve never met the chap.

            And when i’m on the internet, Malcom is my name. I have to keep some anonynimity (sp?) in order to spill my guts, if you catch my drift.

              Hi Malc (not Malc)

              He used to have gladioli hanging out of his butt, but I don’t think that he needed them. He picked up on the power of mass marketing very quick to be fair – wisdom learnt from years of plaguing NME with letters and reading responses. Genius. As per the NHS glasses, band-aid, quiff etc – he knew that disillusioned angst-ridden teenagers would copy, and that would be better than any ad-campaign for selling records. Same goes with the hearing aid. Everything that the band did was great, and they were recently voted the most influential band ever in NME (New Musical Express). Shame that Marr and Morrissey went so rubbish with Electronica and solo projects.

              C’est la vie. (some girls are fatter than others, some girls mothers are fatter than other girls mothers – ha ha)
