Morrissey Picks Burial Spot
February 9th 2007 08:12
Oh this one is good.
Hollywood Cemetery? How tacky but so Morrissey. It's a really good idea to pick burial spots though. I want to be cremated but just as a back-up, in case relatives fucks things up, I'm going to pick my burial spot soon. It might be next to your house. Feh.
Singer Morrissey is known for being a bit morbid, so it's no surprise that he already knows where he wants to be buried.
The 48-year-old star wants a spot at the celebrity cemetery Hollywood Forever, near his home in Los Angeles, the Daily Express reports.
And not just that, but the former Smiths frontman also wants to be laid to rest near his music idol Johnny Ramone.
"I like that cemetery. I stumbled across Johnny Ramone's stone and thought it was very nicely placed," he is quoted as saying.
"I sat there for a long time and I felt quite good about it. It was nice his bones were under the soil I was sitting on. So yeah, that's my spot.
"I am considering putting money down to reserve a spot there. Death is a serious thing, certainly not to be sneezed at," he added.
And as for the inscription?
"I want nothing other than name, birth date, death date. I did think of having the words 'Home at last' but Bela Lugosi has already used that," he said.

It doesn't seem fitting for him to be buried in Hollywood, it should be a Manchurian cemetery after all that's where it all started....
Hmmmm...
But then should I be surprised? I read that he was hoping to sing at the next Eurovision Song Contest. I love him too much to despair, but I am questioning his strange decisions lately....
Great post..

It seems to me that Morrisey hasn't considered death from all possible angles ... There is always a remote chance a person could die sneezing ... ***

I don't know if you can or you can't but that last thing a person could do in life before dying is sneeze ...
And if that happens to Morrisey ... then how will future generations react to his statement, "Death is not something to be sneezed at."? ...
