Morrissey is the kind of virulent racist who says things like, “Racist? The word is meaningless now. Everyone ultimately prefers their own race … does this make everyone racist?”
Indeed! He totally is.
But now I want to listen to some Smiths…
I really appreciate Nick Cave’s view on this subject, which he expounds on in this letter to a fan with the same concern.
Whatever inanities he may postulate, we cannot overlook the fact that he has written a vast and extraordinary catalogue, which has enhanced the lives of his many fans beyond recognition. This is no small thing. He has created original and distinctive works of unparalleled beauty, that will long outlast his offending political alliances.
Perhaps it is better to simply let Morrissey have his views, challenge them when and wherever possible, but allow his music to live on, bearing in mind we are all conflicted individuals – messy, flawed and prone to lunacies.
Except I’d say that his post-Smiths stuff was not nearly as good as the stuff he did with the Smiths. A few good songs, but for the most part, his solo work for me is pretty meh.
Also…
This is never not funny…
Maybe there are some vids out there with the vocals removed? Then you’ll mostly just be listening to Johnny Marr.
Ugh… not this asshole again. He’s also shown vocal support for outright fascists like stephen yaxley-lennon so i was quite proud to read that spillers are no long selling his music.
There’s always cashiering at Chick-fil-A.
PragerU’s assets are showing a distressing upward curve: $15.8M in 2018. I wonder which rich mind-poison assholes are their current pimp daddies?
Nick Cave has an advice column!??!?!
he wrote a song in the '80s calling for Maggie Thatcher to be executed
maybe she wasn’t right-wing enough
When the projection is too thick for even Faux to handle. LOL
The ammosexuals in the party already worship Moloch and regularly sacrifice children to him. And, as noted above, they all worship Mammon.
I want this to be true
And @DonatellaNobody, of sorts, yes… he’s been answering fan questions and sending them out in weekly emails (you can also read them on the site):
He’s got some great stuff to say.
It’s great to see a celebrity interacting so openly with his fans
Trumpbargo causes Big Trouble for Little Havana.
I wonder if the coffee beans were just a retcon-excuse, and it was really a keyword hit on the name that caused problems? (Tracking which brand of coffee a Toronto food truck uses seems unlikely.)
Next up: Cuban sandwiches.
