Dear Morrissey . . .

Ah yes, that notorious 'problem song' "bud bud ding ding every time they get a corner" from his 88 (hey!)solo debut album Viva Hate (Blacks)

his mind is gonna blow even further when someone finally tells him that hitler was a vegetarian

Can’t even commit himself to being a vegan. Meat is murder but dairy’s fine?

(Pre-emptive clarification that shade thrown was for Morrissey only. I can’t even commit to being vegetarian, nothing wrong with being vegetarian, just surprised that one of the most vocal vegetarians of the last 30-odd years who makes such a fuss about meat cooking in his presence isn’t committed enough to the cause of animal welfare to reject all animal products)

yeah but everyday is like an ice cream sundae

satan rejected my dairy-free sundae

mark s asked me to post this piece on Moz (not currently on ilx):

that's mark s of course not Morrissey.

Morrissey still on ILB though and likely to be at the next FAP.

uh oh

The link says 502 Bad Gateway

strangeways here we come

raw patrick if that wasn't a joke the link works for me.

must be my work quite sensibly blocking morrissey related content then

no the link works now.... odd

Working fine on the antediluvian browsers where I am.

the "reggae is vile" line is indeed from an NME year-end poll thing, a handful of "your favourite X of the year" type questions. there is a picture of it in one of the smiths books, i'm surprised it's not knocking around online somewhere. he has walked it back several times since. whatever his true opinions on reggae tho, he is still an incredible racist.

a really good piece!

i read this the other day, it is v. good. archeology of a not-so-accidental racist.

lol if morrissey actually always liked reggae but was just using it as a dogwhistle

Skinheads like it, he likes skinheads...

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/jun/07/arts.artsnews

xp Pretty sure the nazi schmuck who wrote the 'Skinhead' and 'Suedehead', 'Skinhead on the Moon' etc books never once mentions reggae, ska or bluebeat

as an aside, like.

"Morrissey will become a talent scout for the Attack label"

How did this work out?

Trojan records were great and all, but they did represent the era and the strategy of trying their damndest to appeal to international/white audiences, and my suspicions it's the conscious reggae that came after that Morrissey wrinkles his nose at.

Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Babylon

How did this work out?

The piece is also reprinted in Freaky Trigger, with more comments including someone finding the pop questionnaire with 'reggae is vile' - there's a link down the bottom of the Patreon link.

Or you could just post the link, Farrell.

When you're in a hole, stop digging. Or if you're Morrissey, you give another bigoted interview supporting Anne Marie Waters.

I mean, look at the shocking treatment of Tommy Robinson...

My previous album World Peace Is None of Your Business was dropped after ten days of release because it was thought too political.

sycophantic Smiths fan moron interviews racist moron, it's the full shit sandwich !

I can't eat anything that has any flavour. I've never had a curry, or coffee, or garlic.

This explains so much.

I've always found food to be very difficult because I only eat bread, potatoes, pasta and nuts... all stodge. I can't eat anything that has any flavour. I've never had a curry, or coffee, or garlic.

i feel like this explains a lot somehow

fuck, mind-meld with nashwan!

I'd have this cunt put on a forced diet of bacon sarnies and beef vindaloos in my imagination-gulag.

I love this quote.

simply became tired of the ridiculous BIGMOUTH STRIKES AGAIN headlines ... my voice is very soft and quiet, in fact, and it  doesn't strike again, or even strike  at all.

so he eats pasta but he won't have any garlic? does he just put ketchup on it or something?

Yes! I love to travel now, and I feel very excited to be in Turkey, Poland, Finland, Israel, and so on. Whether they actually want me there is entirely another matter.

yeah, it must feel awful to be in another country and know that people don't want you there, right

What the fuck is wrong with him? That curry/garlic/coffee claim is so weird and not even accurate.

At the outset, Morrissey is drinking a cup of coffee, and during our discussion he occasionally elides his way out of anything remotely resembling an impasse by alluding to these eatables: 'This is such great coffee,' he pronounces at one point, and when I ask him what's on his mind he replies: 'This KitKat.'

He clearly doesn’t have anyone in his life who cares about him.

stunned to find out that morrissey has an at-best tenuous grip on reality tbh

He clearly doesn’t have anyone in his life who cares about him.

Good.

I remember an interview when "Meat is Murder" came out, where he admitted a love of bacon sarnies back in his younger carnivorous days.

xp yes and lol

Morrissey has cancelled all of his UK & European shows in July - including two homecoming gigs at Manchester's Castlefield Bowl. Promoter says its due to "logistical circumstances beyond our control". Low ticket sales are thought to have played a part in this decision. pic.twitter.com/Gxc74HsmY9
