- A 'step' around 'Salford Lad's Club' to visit the location of a now iconic black and white photograph that features on the inside cover of 'The Queen Is Dead' by The Smiths.
Along the way, difficult questions are raised about separating the art from the artist.

An intelligent mind is quite capable of separating the art from the artist. As for Morrissey, I’m a right-leaning Thatcher fan who was a child in the 70s England. I love every single word he wrote, from the humour to the tears. I still sing loudly when hearing “Margaret On A Guillotine”. I don’t have to agree with passion, political or otherwise in order to appreciate a fucking great tune with thought provoking lyrics. All Hail Morrissey/The Smiths ❤️
The click-bait industry that peddles in outrage over Morrissey's views is what people should find objectionable. I'm a hardcore carnivore but have zero problem with his views just because they differ than mine. I'll eat before I go to his show. The authoritarian left is the enemy, not difference of opinion.
I take great issue with all the cowardly artists who won't say a peep if they think it will cost them something.
Very interesting and insightful. You did a great job trying to answer the question of the mystery of Moz.
Very interesting essay. I was surprised that you didn't refer to Morrissey's vocal support of the now-defunct 'For Britain' party which was widely seen as espousing Right or even Far Right views. In common with a lot of very successful musical artistes, Morrissey is something of an egotist, (a trait that's arguably necessary in order to succeed in the music business to the level that he has) and also very much an absolutist in that he often refuses to countenance anyone who disagrees with his viewpoint, on vegetarianism, for example. His considerable and deserved wealth and success enable him to hold such attitudes with relative impunity. Famously, when taken to court by Smiths drummer Mick Joyce for royalty payments on Smiths releases, (bassist Andy Rourke settled out-of-court for a much lesser award than the ultimately victorious Joyce) Morrissey was castigated by the judge. xx SF
