Maladjusted to the vagaries of life, Morrissey has given deep thought to the cemetery gates that house his ultimate resting spot. Via Metro:
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.”
Although, at less than 50, death is hardly at his elbow … would you expect anything less from Morrissey? A Hollywood grave next to Johnny Ramone. That’s so punk, Moz. We love it. Do pretty girls make graves out in LA? Probably, they’re all pretty out there. And of course this charming man had a parting thought on mortality:
Death is a serious thing, certainly not to be sneezed at.
Never has no one ever been more quotable.
Count the Smiths references in this post! And please comment only in the form of a Smiths lyric.

Oh, Manchester, so much to answer for…
Oh mother I can feel, the soil falling over my head.
With loves and hates and passions just like mine, they were born and then they lived and then they died. Seems so unfair, I see five.
There’s always someone, somewhere, with a big nose, who knows.
Please, please, please let him get what he wants.
You just haven’t urn-ed it yet, baby…
take me out tonight
take me anywhere i don’t care i don’t care i don’t care
i didn’t realize you wrote such bloody awful poetry
“death is a serious thing” I know, I know, it’s really serious…
in my life..why do i give valuable time, to people who dont care if i…if i diiiiiie….
I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving! England is mine and it owes me a living! Ask me why and I’ll spit in your eye. (Best Smiths lyric ever).
save your life because you’ve only got one
To Die by your side (Johnny Ramone) is such a heavenly way to die.
In a river the color of lead
Immerse the Mozzer’s head
Wrap him up in the news of the world
Dump him on a doorstep girl.
This post has opened my eyes
And I will not sleep again.
these morrissey jokes aren’t funny anymore.
Irish Blood, English Heart, LA Grave
Panic on the streets of London, he picked LA instead.
it suddenly struck me…
he might just die with a smile on his face after all.
I didn’t know you wrote such bloody awful poetry.
Hollywood Forever also has movies screened on the sides of one of their large mausoleums during the summertime. 10 bucks to get in, bring your own picnic supplies. Its pretty great.
I’m hoping for an early death and I need to cling to something.
So I meet you at the cemetry gates …
Keats and Yeats (and Johnny Ramone) are on your (left) side
I’ll never be anybody’s hero now…
Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you from doing all the things in death you’d like to…
When you walk without ease, on these very streets where you were raised, get a grave in L.A….
let me get my hands on youuuuuur hollywood gravesite
A death for no reason…
Moz in grave
The sun shines out of our behinds
No it’s not like any other grave
This one is different because it’s us (moz and johnny ramone)
I wonder if he still spells cemetery wrong…
frankly, mr. shankly, this position i’ve held
it pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
i want to leave, you will not miss me
i want to go down in musical history
’cause you’re evil
and you lie
and if you should die,
i might feel slightly sad
(but i won’t cry)
And make no mistake my friend your pointless life will end.
if he gets buried in LA his gravesite will be like jim morrison’s..only for hispanic greasers.
It was reeeeeaaaaaally nothing!
You just haven’t urn-ed it yet, baby…

Mark wins!
The Queen is dead, boys
Ugh. The more I ignore him, the closer he gets. He’s wasting my time.
Oh friends go suck ass
There is a place, a place in LA, reserved for Moz and his friend.

Terrible news…apparently he had a thorn in his side
