He is like a dishonest Rod Stewart. Rod Stewart was honest about wanting
fame & money & living in LA. Mozza wanted all that but had to con his fans so they would keep buying his recordings. |

I married a lass who's friend was in his band (co wrote a lot of the early solo stuff) so heard some weird stories.
He's awkward & that's being kind. Her friend is not in his band anymore but doing very well writing music for film & tv and much happier. |

One of the wittiest and amusing songsmiths of the last 30 years.

when he was one of them....he did not get away with it, I have not liked him since. |

Morrissey loves to slag off other artists. I remember him on the radio having a right
go at Bruce Springsteen and the other guest pointed out his songs cover all the same subjects but from an english perspective. i think he said there is a light is just born to run but on a bus  |

By:
It's in a car?

By:
The bus has the potential to collide with the car.

By:
i think the point was how they would "run"
any number of lyrics are pretty much about the same thing, the music might be different but the sentiment not so much |

“Everyone ultimately prefers their own race … does this make everyone racist? The people who reduce every conversation down to a matter of race could be said to be the most traditionally ‘racist’ because everything in life is NOT exclusively a question of race, so why make it so? Diversity can’t possibly be a strength if everyone has ideas that will never correspond. If borders are such terrible things then why did they ever exist in the first place? Borders bring order. I can’t see how opposing Halal slaughter makes me racist when I’ve objected to ALL forms of animal slaughter all of my life.”
I think nationhood and culture are absolutely central to a sense of identity, of self and should be cause for pride and celebration (each and every across the world). I wanna see bold defined strokes not this globalist march toward a homogenized mulch, where all definition, sense of history and meaning is obliterated and re-written. Destroy identity, remove borders and you speed up the race to the bottom. Depress wages, maximize profits and create a mass of transient easily manipulated consumer drone workers . A brave new world. We are all ultimately tribal, we are creatures of habit that gravitate toward the routine. Pointing that out isn’t racist, nobody of reasonable mind gives that much of a fig about race but we all by necessity hold certain prejudices and preferences, some conscious but most less so. Just a part and parcel of being a human being who is alive, thinking and properly engaged with the world. It is human nature, that’s all. Morrissey committed thought crime and I have the greatest respect for him. |

He doesn't live in Salford he lives in LA
 . or did last i heard.btw i think he is entitled to live in LA. Sean Connery lives in the Bahamas & has upset folks by getting involved in SNP related stuff. Should Morrissey also stay out of UK politics? Personally I think he is entitled to give his opinion or his money on or to whatever he likes & so is everyone else. |

Went to see the legend David Bowie at his Outside concert in Birmingham. Was disappointing as he didn't play any of his back catalogue and not the best album he ever did imo. Anyways, Morrissey was the support act and was fekking brilliant. Saved the night altogether.

By:
^ Morrissey quit that tour 'cos he couldn't handle being the support act. he said he had a sore throat but i know different

"I saw a documentary once where Morrisey tried to cheat The Smiths out of their share of thee royalties" Did he? There was a court case as he and Marr had split the royalties 40/40/10/10 or 30/30/20/20, whatever it was. He and Marr said the other members knew about it and they then said they hadn't and wanted it 25/25/25/25. One settled out of court the other plodded on. Given he and Marr did apparently all the songwriting and essentially WERE the smiths and the other 2 were in effect very replacable (BBC "talent" level of replacable) it didn't seem unfair imho. The world is chock full of failed bands and crap material, it's the people who write the good songs and push it who make them. |

on that Bowie tour he kicked up stink about the money half way through it, suggested they take turn about
headlining (you can guess the Bowie response) then quit. the night he quit one of his band members was very exited that they were playing his hometown. he had maxed out the guest list for family & friends and Moz knew he was very exited about the show. He pulled the plug at the last minute claiming a sore throat but everyone knew that was not true. He has always been convinced it was partly 'cos he could not handle being the support but also partly personal as he is just a mean guy and they were in a dispute about song writing royalties. I must admit when it was announced he wasn't playing i was surprised how many people headed for the exits and didn't stay to see Bowie. His fans are very passionate & very loyal. I've seen him a few times and it is more cult like than any other artist i've seen. |

Yea well it's quite possible he was being fair on the royalties thing AND he's a bit of a primadonna **** ;) I'm not a big fan but they did some decent stuff. He seems remarkably "straight talking" for a luvvie, i.e. he talks about things and his truth as he sees it (agree with him or not) without a PC "filter", there is little of that these days. You can can count the amount of British artists/celebs who are prepared to stick their head above the parapet on non PC things on about 2 fingers. The only other I can think of being John Cleese, a towering giant of comedy who (not being on message) will I presume never be invited on with those non-comedians on "the luvvie leg".

John Cleese is funny the others get paid for their political views

It seemed unfair to me at the time, and Morrisey is hardly poor Boy George shared everything with Culture Club when he worked with them |

By:
U2 share everything 4 ways even though only 2 write most of the songs.
I think REM were the same, equal split regardless. Seems to help longevity in a band. They nearly always bust up over cash, then woman, then drug abuse. mainly money |

By:
I agree with that northanlite

think morriseys argument was bass and drummers ten a penny and could easy be replaced. did rourke and joyce write anything ?
|
|
By:
I like him even less
|
|
By:
Smiths was basically Marr and Morrissey ...I think Morriseys solo work is better anyway .
He makes an obvious point about races prefering their own |

be nice if we could try to get on though
