36 years ago this month, Moz was in the studio to record his solo debut Viva Hate.
A young Morrissey wrote in the 1976 issue of Melody Maker, insulting the Ramones.
These days, you've been a cranky, cruel, uncharming, so hard to love middle-aged asexual human. I'm no longer a religious devotee of you. But, still, I have to admit, you've had a significant impact in my pop culture adventure. So, yeah, happy birthday and sing your life, Moz!
Viva Hate, the debut solo album by Morrissey, turned 33 today!

Today, 36 years ago, the eponymous debut studio album the Smiths was released by Rough Trade Records.
Produced by John Porter the album was well received by critics and listeners. It established the Smiths as a prominent band in the 1980s music scene in the UK.
This toe-tapping piece is one of my favourite songs ever. "Sing Your Life", is to celebrate life and to celebrate the singer's birthdayâyes, Morrissey has turned 60 today!
