Morrissey in Eurovision?

Well, they say there's nowt as queer as folk .. they're not wrong. I read today in Mx, which is Australia's version of the Metro paper, which is given free to travellers on the tube, that Morrissey is to be linked with next year's Eurovision contest.

The contest has long been an extremely camp joke, one that is best enjoyed with a Eurovision party, involving many friends, and only slightly more wine than Terry Wogan appears to enjoy on the evening, which is still a lot.

Desperate to disprove this scandalous rumour, I searched on the web, and these articles (1 2) both seem to confirm it.

In the wake of another lamentable performance from the UK entry, with Daz Sampson's Teenage Life coming 19th out of 24 entrants, Morrissey said: "I was horrified but not surprised to see the UK fail again in the Eurovision Song Contest. And there is one question I keep on asking: 'Why didn't they ask me?' That question keeps going round my head."

Of course, everyone thought that Mozzer was expressing disdain with his usual casually arrogant dismissals .. apparently not. Watch this space
