Was/Is Morrissey Racist?

left-ism has to be more than "democratic control of the means of production of crap we don't need and the planet can't afford" now more than ever

^^^^^^^^this

THIS FUCKIN' GUY:

I'm not a royalist, but pictures of his band lined up either side of him on his recent Argentinian tour, wearing "We hate William and Kate" T-shirts, momentarily made me feel like becoming one.

oh fuck off. Moz is a racist idiot who makes me wanna eat kitten steaks every time he opines about animals but the royal fucking family deserve no scintilla of yr sympathy.

why do they hate william and kate so much?

fat fucking ticks on the belly of our alleged democracy giving autocracy a lovable celeb face for cretins

do they actually do bad things?

i refer the gentleman to the answer i gave previously

everything that makes the evil of monarchy more popular/acceptable is a "bad thing"

fair dinkum

there'll be crazy David Icke-type conspiracists out there who'll tell you they drink the blood of the living or something (and Morrissey is quite possibly of that number) but expressing direct hate for them is aimed as much at the "monarchy is harmless and they are cute kids" tolerators as serious defenders of the crown, i guess

I'm with noodle vague on this one.

I really was referring to Morrissey's lemon shirt btw.

oh yeah i knew i was just aggro with the fucking lickspittle in the Graun

well going to see ol' mozza in concert on Friday night

hoping for a good anti-Monarchy rant considering he's in the city where the DJs they want to hang broadcast their prank calls to the world

Bootleg his version of "Panic"if you can, I would guess amended lyrics will be forthcoming.

I'd burn the lot of 'em - morrisey, monarchs, DJs and all.

only language these people understand

I had that Johnny Marr in the back of my taxi once...

are you Andy Rourke in disguise?

Royal Family got off lightly in the end, only a passing reference comparing them to Assad.

This thread on Morrissey Solo has full-page scans of a lengthy interview with Morrissey in Loaded, to be published tomorrow.

It's a weird piece, a largely unedited 5-page transcript of Moz expounding at great length his views on the political world. As if anyone was in any doubt, Morrissey comes across as a very odd and bitter old crank.

Sample quote: "I nearly voted for UKIP. I like Nigel Farage a great deal. His views are quite logical - especially where Europe is concerned." And there's lots more where that came from.

not familiar with "UKIP" or nigel farage? is that a right wing thing?

They're somewhere between the Tories and the BNP.

Yep. Not officially far-right but very hardline Conservative, anti-Europe, anti-immigration, etc.

I think he's such a horrible jerk now, and yet I can't stop liking the music. It's weird.

He also would love to see Jon Stewart or Rachel Maddow elected President of the US.

Morrissey is the original ironically racist hipster. But an actual racist? No way. 50,000 Mexicans can't be wrong!

Uh, wow. Moz sure hates paying taxes!!

Robbie Keane's cousin yknow

being an egocentric waster living off decades-gone glory days must run in the family

i don't even think that about Morrissey i just wanted to get the Robbie Keane joke in tbh

shit we need a 'like' button

as fuck

Better or worse than the Dawkins Honey Incident?

Better or worse than this?

"At this, Eliza and Ezra rolled together into one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone."

and then they changed at Bank station for the Charing cross branch of the Northern line.

Morrissey's Meltdown 2015

This comes not long after the bizarre episode in which Morrissey made a big fuss about Universal refusing to rerelease 2009 single I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris ("in support of the victims of the recent atrocities"), then releasing an email exchange between his servant Boz Boorer and a Universal lawyer that made him look even more desperate than usual ("Any other artist would be number 1 with this song RIGHT NOW").
