Interesting information for the day:

(when actually I was just trying to find out what his type of glasses is called)
Everything I have read in the last five years, there's been a phrase somewhere to remind me of one of those songs. Caliban is half a person... Nice to know it's not just me, Morrissey is conspiring with everything I read.
"-is that clever?
Everybody's clever nowadays"
I will never get these echoes out of my head.
Allright then, I shall now go watch versions of The Importance of Being Earnest.
I love allusions, references, quoting, stealing, etc.. Because you put all the meaning of the whole referenced work into those few words. Intertextuality = favorite literary device. Especially if it makes no sense, the less logical sense it makes the more true it will be to someone, or to everyone in different ways.
Morrissey: "I'm almost quite speechless now, it's a very historic place and obviously it means a great deal to me... to be sitting here staring at Oscar's television and the very video that Oscar watched The Leather Boys on."
Yeah, like that. I wish I'd even dare come up with that kind of thing that seems like it'll make sense to me and nobody else. But Morrissey proves it can be done, quoting confusing lines from obscure plays and having people like it and understand a meaning.
