The Smiths & Morrissey thread

FFS....
The bloke us a multi, multi millionaire. Why doesn't he just create his own label and put the album out?
Sounds like a petty spat with capitol and they've told their artist to flounce. Can't see mozz being arsed or entering into some sort of popularity contest - capitol execs probably want him to do a Meghan and repent on Oprah's sofa or something. Unless they have bought the rights to the recordings I expect he'll just release it on another label/platform.
 
Just listening to TQID before I venture out. I remember listening to Piccadilly radio around 1986 and the Jingle ITS A GGGOOAALL came on whilst the boy with a thorn in his side was playing, me n r kid jumping around like lunatics,but within seconds the fearful OH NNNO came on..and yes whoever it was had equalised immediately. I don't know how I remember that,probably mentally scarred.
 
Jake Hill, a rapper apparently, isn't a fan.
Well said Mr Hill. Ludicrous that you can have an artist basically telling others what they can or can't eat at a venue. If M*******y wants to be a vegetarian, fine; be a vegetarian. No problem with that at all. But don't impose your will on others.

It's all about compromise. Surely the sensible thing to do would be to agree to Morrisseys demands, then just carry on selling meat - everyone wins.
 
Far right? Really? Ha ha
Didn't he go to live in Italy because England wasn't English anymore ? I seem to remember reading that but could've been a load of old codswallop :)

That would put him in the John Cleese privileged old white man gammon chops territory.
Educate me MES !

I think when we find ourselves labeling Morrissey as far right then we probably need to check our labels are fit for purpose. Immigration presents both challenges and benefits, but as the labelling of Morrissey as a sort of singing Tommy Robinson shows, any attempt to even mention the challenges is shut down by well meaning idiots. Those doing the labelling/ shutting down are causing lasting damage to society (imho). As an aging population the fact is we need immigration and lots of it, but if we can't even freely discuss the challenges then there is no way we can address them and we create a vacuum that will be filled by idiots and extremism.

Best post of Xmas Day (still the 25th here!)
 
I can't decide whether he's left wing or right wing :)
He wore a badge in support of For Britain or Britain First.... one of them, either way, he supported the party purely because the party pledged to support animal rights issues. Yes the party had some other dodgy ideologies non of which he has vocally supported.
The media, of course, didn't bother looking into the issue too much, but simply preferred to label Mooriisey a raving nazi lunatic.
 
It's an interesting topic as one always identified The Smiths as anti Thatcher anti capitalism left wing in their outlook but nowadays Morrissey is confusing me.
I'm sure plenty have read this article.
It doesn't personally bother me, most very talented artists are hypocritical. Roger Waters, John Lennon etc.

Ha ha, brilliant bit of political chicanery there MES.
“I voted for Hitler, purely because he said he’d make the trains run in time. Dodgy eugenics policy? Maybe, but I don’t support those. I just like what he says about trains.” If you wear a badge, fucking well own it.
