The Legacy of Urban Renewal Helped Make Morrissey Sad
The singer has a new autobiography out, and it turns out the Pope of Mope had a lot to be bummed out about in Manchester.
Morrissey has a new autobiography out in the U.K., but U.S. fans who are still waiting to learn when it will be released here can tide themselves over with this great 1985 interview we recently stumbled across. In it, the singer offers a tour of his native Manchester, and, we think, reveals at least one place-based source of his famed mopey sadness: the legacy of urban renewal.
