Morrissey: Do You F***king Want Some?
Stuart Maconie, Q, September 1995
Morrissey's back in the ring with a violently good LP, Southpaw Grammar, and he's having a Cantona-styled pop at anyone in his path: Hugh Grant, Anthea Turner, Paul Weller, John Major, Axl Rose, Quentin Tarantino, ravers, karaoke singers, the police, the middle class, the young, and just for good measure, the old. What of Q? "You're going on after Crispy Ambulance," he warns Stuart Maconie.
