Good luck with the musical - perhaps I'll sing your songs with the choral society I'm in one day! smiley - ok

The Morrissey entry is coming on nicely. You might like to take a look at the latest version of the h2g2 Writing Guidelines, on A892497. I think that you've complied with most of its requirements, but if you want to get the entry into the Edited Guide then the main thing is to avoid any first person commentary (i.e. anything that says 'I think...') and to fix what I'd imagine are a few lingering relics of your tiredness smiley - sleepy when you wrote it. There are some spelling mistakes, of which the most prominent is 'polotics' for 'politics'.

I am a little puzzled by a couple of your interpretations of the great man's work. Is 'Viva Hate' really all about The Smiths? I can't see it. And how is 'Such A Little Thing Makes Such A Big Difference?' a political song? A better example of Mozzer getting political might be 'I Will See You In Far Off Places' ('...if your God bestows protection upon you/And if the USA doesn't bomb you...') I'd revise the 'Racist?' bit if I were you, since it is rather difficult to read, and I think Morrissey has made peace with the NME now. It's worth mentioning, too, that Morrissey's politics are ambiguous: he has certainly flirted with nationalism, yet at the same time he has expressed left-leaning views on subjects like animal rights and the USA. Finally, how about adding some more links in the text?

Anyway, I look forward to seeing how the entry develops, and I hope you'll eventually submit it to Peer Review, so you can get feedback and suggestions from everyone else on h2g2 and hopefully eventually see your work on the Front Page of the site. I'm sure the Editors would love to have a Morrissey entry in the Edited Guide, considering his present prominence. Good luck! smiley - goodluck

Thanks i'll get to that as soon as i'm awake, as for now I havent has tea and its like 5 am. Thank you for the advice it will help. Yeah the whole Viva Hate thing not all of, not most of it. Mostley the title and a couple of songe here or there. I'll run it through spell and grammer checks. As for more sites... I really dont know what to put. I'm horrible w/the whole putting relevent sites up because most of the info comes with books, movies, and other non- online sources
thanks,
Amelie smiley - winkeye
