Hook calls Morrissey a twat
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 13 October 2009
Peter Hook’s been good value for money lately. Last week he was revealing that he carried on signing Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis’ name on records even after he’d committed suicide, now he’s calling Morrisssey a twat and claiming that the former Smiths frontman gets his mum to do all his legal work.
Speaking at a Q&A session at Borders in Bristol, where he was promoting his new book, ‘The Haçienda: How Not To Run A Club’, Hook said: “There’s no way I could have liked The Smiths as they were our competition. Morrissey’s a twat anyway. He makes Mark E Smith look popular! He really does. What I do love about Mozzer though, is that any time anyone has any legal problem with him, the only person you can speak to about [it] is his mother! That’s true. So if you have a problem you have to deal with Morrissey’s mother. And the first thing she says is, ‘Our Steven wouldn’t do that!'”
