No problemo. If you want to explore further, any of the last four albums are all superb but to provide a brief overview-
Day of the Dog- Supposedly intended as Ezra's last album, but instead became the one that launched their career in the UK. Mostly shorter tracks, great fun and lots of...
Reasonable as always- Ezra Furman is, in my opinion, one of the greatest musical artists of the last decade. Think a combination of Lou Reed, Dylan and Spingsteen with added gender fluidity.

Watching the second episode of Prejudice and Pride: A People’s History of LGBTQ Britain (originally broadcast in 2017, but available again for 22 days on iPlayer), was pleasantly surprised to find an extensive segment on the writer Shaun Duggan and his connection to Morrissey...

So whilst Johnny Marr performs a triumphant set and then is rapuously received on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, Morrissey spends his time watching and sharing racist bile by horrifically dull-voiced Youtubers. Who do you think is winning?
