Maker - who penned penned a biography about his own formative years as a singer, lyricist, writer in the 1980s titled ‘AutoFellatio’ - said he was relieved not to be included. Morrissey’s mother should sue the filmmakers on their misrepresentation of her curtaining, alone. He added: “I knew him then, and I knew the house at 384 Kings Road.
Maker even urged Morrissey’s mother Elizabeth Dwyer to sue director Mark Gill and producers Baldwin Li and Orian Williams. A strange move, considering that those formative years have been so abundantly well-documented.” It is not a biopic, but historical fiction. In 2004, he supported the New York Dolls.“Worse, they have put him in a green duffle coat and given him not one line of the Morrissyean wit we have all come to know. He subsequently became lyricist and lead singer with the 1980s Indie group, Raymonde, and 1990s "gay" Hard Rock group RPLA. James Maker first trod the boards in 1982 as dancer and backing vocalist with The Smiths, and was erroneously known as "The Fifth Smith". We never discover whether James is one of them but certainly, as a storyteller, he is one in a million. It is literally littered with memorable bons mots and hilarious anecdotes that make you feel like you've hit the wedding-reception jackpot of being unexpectedly seated next to the groom's flamboyant uncle.Īccording to Wikipedia, very few men can perform the act of autofellatio. We follow our hero from Bermondsey enfant-terrible to Valencian grande dame, a scenic journey that stops off variously at Morrissey confidant, dominatrix, singer, songwriter. But here fact is more fantastical than any novel. If you hadn’t heard of rock bands Raymonde or RPLA – fronted by James in the 80s and 90s – you might be forgiven for mistaking AutoFellatio for fiction. Just one shimmering pearl of wisdom from pop-star and polymath James Maker, whose worldly observations will (like herpes) once again be on everyone’s lips thanks to his award-winning memoir, remastered with new chapters. "Apart from herpes and Lulu – everything is eventually swept away."
