MORRISSEY SLAMS BONO'S SONGWRITING

Former THE SMITHS frontman MORRISSEY has launched a scathing attack on U2 rocker BONO -questioning his songwriting talents.

BONO of U2 performing in concert at the San Siro stadium Milan, Italy - 20.07.05 and Morrissey performing Live in concert at the Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, Holland- 10.04.06

The Irish group were recently hailed for creating Britain's best pop lyric, when the line, "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers," from song ONE, beat off competition from The Smiths' classic HOW SOON IS NOW?, which came second in the poll.

But speaking at his Manchester, England, gig on Tuesday night (18APR06), a bemused Morrissey cast doubt on the result.

He quipped, "I noticed in the newspapers that in a lyrical competition Bono did better than me. He's really nice, but really?"
