I did fall in love with the voices I heard, whether they were male or female. I loved those people. I really, really did love those people. For what it was worth, I gave them my life… my youth.
Beyond the perimeter of pop music there was a drop at the edge of the world.

quote
I went to concerts at a very early age. I was always a “gigs” person, not a “clubs” person. I didn’t go to clubs and I didn’t dance and I wasn’t into fashion. I was always into music, live music, and as a teenager I would see all the important gigs or concerts that came to Manchester. That was my life. I’d go by myself and I’d just stand there and watch and listen. I saw so many of the important groups before they even made records.
It was a great way to spend one’s youth, I think.
Morrissey, 1998
