Despite his fame, I think he's still underated.

What I like about him is he keeps it simple and doesn`t feel the need to show off.

I`ve always thought a good guitarist should know what not to play as well as what to play. And I think this is where a lot of them fail.

I've just heard rumours that Morrissey could possibly represent Britain, in this years Eurovision Song Contest.
Apparently, he's appalled at the standard of Brit acts over the past few years.
Judging by the last effort (another fellow Mancunian and again I take the opportunity to apologize to the nation

) I can't say I blame him.
After last years entry, I almost considered putting myself forward.

That would be great if that happened.
But he`d have to win a public vote to get there.And with the crap that got in last year it`s by no means definate he`d win.

I may be wrong here (not checked) but I'm sure I heard he was in talks.
Going by the context, I assumed that if it comes off, then we'll be spared the preliminaries.

Wishful thinking?

Why would a serious musician even consider doing something like that? Everyone knows that contest is a joke.

His friend Sandy Shaw won it once?

He's also probably gay and a drama Queen.
Ring any bells yet?

C'mon admit it ...you'd love to represent Croatia.
