Loose_Lips

Is he high?http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-42050512He's up there with that mental blonde woman who was on the Apprentice, just looking for attention.Oh.. he has an album out.

Why cant he just shut the fuck up.

He has some points but ffs, shut up.

It's not often the self-absorbed cunt talks about anyone but himself. I therefore suppose that he was talking about how the Spacey thing affects Morrissey.

A prime example of how not to grow old. The young Morrissey would have written a great song about the caricature of a fading rock star that the old Morrissey has become. Oscar Wilde he ain’t.

He never fails to amaze
Available on his current tour of North America, Morrissey is selling classic albums released by other artists but signed by him for £300. You can buy his albums signed by him too, but they are not worth as much as records by the Stooges signed by Morrissey (who’d have guessed?).

At this rate he’ll soon be known as the Donald Trump of pop.
It’s an excellent idea. I think I might start signing my Morrissey CDs with a permanent marker and putting them on ebay.

I’m with you, and I’m just off to the shop for a silver Sharpie pen, then this bad girl is going on eBay…

I remember one of my sisters buying one of those albums and trying to work out exactly what it was. If my memory serves Jerry Dammers once said that the session singers who recorded The Specials’ Gangsters clearly had no idea what the words should be and belted out with great enthusiasm what he considered to be a superior version as a result . Strange what memories Missing Words brings back

Johnny Marr dispels rumours on The Smiths forum that there might be a comeback gig or two.. 😂

Morrissey releases and reissues abandoned by his label; the new BMG Executive has announced new plans for ‘diversity’ within BMG’s artist roster, and all projected BMG Morrissey releases/reissues have been scrapped.

Morrissey responds to being dropped by his label: “This news is perfectly in keeping with the relentless galvanic horror of 2020”
“I wouldn’t want to be on a label that dictates so specifically how their artists should behave”

Is Morrissey a racist?

Harvest

He’s always had a whiff of it to me.

Harvest

What did I say about not being able to trust a bloke with a hair transplant?

Cooley

Harvest That as well? Blimey, he has been a busy chap.
I don’t know if he is racist. Lots of people are calling him one. But that’s the internet for you: every cunt has an opinion. He wore a Britain First badge a while back, I remember that. Stupid, stupid thing to do, but does that make him racist? Or just a bit of a dick. Or both. Fuck knows. Whatever he is, I still love his Long Players.

Harvest

Each to their own. He’s not for me, never was. I didn’t particularly care for The Smiths and his solo stuff even less. He seems to be one of these people who created a persona that he could never maintain. He now just comes across as an old, bitter, irrelevant has been.

Cooley

Harvest He’s old. Bitter? I think he’s been bitter since about the age of four. I’ll give you those two. Irrelevant? Not sure about that one. I’d have said the opposite.
I don’t like the Smiths.

fulmine

He’s clearly desperately in love with the idea of being persecuted, as being some sort of outsider. And couple that with a huge ego, needing the limelight. It’s quite difficult to be outspoken these days because everything’s been said. The only way to sound really outlandish is to be a racist div.

Under-the-ground

I still like him. Would never want to meet him, but his voice is still good and he has a stage presence that seems to be in short supply now.

yes I think he has a sad & lonely existence. You can’t run from yourself & all that. So has become bitter spouting shite

Cooley

I think his voice has improved over the years. Bit of a crooner is old Moz - as will be evidenced by his Vegas residency next year.
Is he sad and lonely? I’m not so sure. A closed book, isn’t he? I imagine he’s got a small, very close circle of friends. He’s probably quite content with his own company - like most of us.
He’s odd, that’s for sure. But he wouldn’t be Morrissey if he wasn’t who he is.
I don’t like the Smiths, but I love his solo albums. I just wish he wouldn’t tarnish it all by wearing stupid badges and opening his mouth. Fucking mancs.
