Morrissey really seriously ill?

Sometimes I think he prevaricates publicly about his health because his whole life's mission is to be mourned like Valentino or something and he desires to test his fans love whilst still breathing. He is such a contemptible, vain, racist, ugly, uninspired fucking 3rd rate faux Irish cunt - the sooner he actually dies the better imo.

hopefully he'll have you killed for your cheek

lol @ faux Irish

do you think he's actually from Swindon or something

Can someone help me figure out how xelab really feels about Morrissey? He's being so cryptic about it, it's maddening.

He is as Irish as I am, but you you won't get this being an American, the land where even the most tenuous connection makes you Irish.

Loves music, hates racism, has morrissey in the dead pool

Xp

you you won't get this being an American, the land where even the most tenuous connection makes you Irish

let's all keep our petty regionalisms to ourselves shall we

Massively ironic coming from a Morrissey apologist!

I consider myself more of a Morrissey trainspotter

For all the homosexual gay Morrissey fans.

That would make a great single! With Rainbow art work!"

The lyrics on the original demo were

"Jizz me a lot, Jizz me alot,
Jizz me all over my face"

Has it leaked? (pun intended)

"3rd rate faux Irish cunt" - agree, not as impressive as first rate faux Irish cunts like Shane McGowan or John Lydon

Anyone who uses the term "prevaricates" on an internet message board is either actually a huge Morrissey fan or Morrissey himself.

What's up Moz?

David Tseng is a sweet, nice, smart guy, from what I know of him--
if a bit of a masochist for sticking with the site. Morrissey just hates there
Is a website about him that he doesn't control, I think.

I've met him. Thoroughly low-key, pleasant dude.

whew! i wasn't sure if he deserved to be killed or not

^^^^ you are the quarrry

is the part in morrissey's statement where he's all "i wouldn't even bother with him" supposed to imply he's some ruff gangster who routinely has people 'taken care of'?

Just write a song about it and stop making a pathetic fool of yourself, dude.

I know nobody believes they are really his "last UK shows" but surprised there has been no comment (unless I have missed this).

My work colleague claims he made no reference to Cameron at last night's show.

I thought the extract was a parody:

http://thequietus.com/articles/18847-morrissey-s-debut-novel-tanks

On a par with his lyrics.

"Last UK shows" my arsenal. He's basically going on a talent strike, saying that well, if no one will sign me, why should I perform, since the only point of performing is to sell new stuff?

sounds as if the talent strike was already in place when he started work on the novel

URL above led me to believe Morrissey had named his debut novel, "Tanks".

Irish Heart, English Blood and all that... or whatever the fuck way round it is.

“In the church of secret service known as the abattoir this is exactly what humans excitedly do to beautiful bodies of animals who were also crafted in care by some divine creationist, yet at the human hand the animals are whacked and hacked into chopped meat whilst gazing up at their protector with disbelief and pleading for a mercy not familiar to the human spirit, ground and round into hash or stew for the Big Mac pleasure of fat-podge children whose candidature for roly-poly vicious porkiness makes their plungingly plump parents laugh loudly, as little junior blubber-guts orders yet another Super-burger with tub-of-guts determination to stuff death into round bellies, and such kids come to resemble their parents as ten pounds of s--- in a five-pound bag.”

So, he's still a vegetarian then.

(xp) Jeezus, I don't hold much store by the ould fella but I somehow expected better than that.

wow - roll over Marcel Proust

"whilst" bothers me so much

... that and every other word.

Is Morrissey not a very nice person, or is there a media conspiracy to portray him negatively? Speculative answers welcome

(but really, it's something I can't figure out: he wrote all those fantastic songs, some very sympathetic, some very funny - how could he possibly be an idiot??? and if he's not an idiot, why are there all these crazy Moz-quotes?)

Don't know where to start with that last post.

I have a headache today, really wanted to formulate a better post but gave up - question still sort of serious though, like, I'm still curious to know if I should keep on sympathizing with Moz/defend him or if he's just no longer a v cool person

and by "cool" I guess I mean "nice" or "good" but in sort of a relaxed way

stupid headache

At least I finally got some lolz out of this continually disappointing thread. (✌ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

In their secrecy, Harri does not like Tracey’s knotted banana toes, and Tracey finds the manly central issue too slight to grip, and although such things ought not to count in the adult mind, somehow they do yet they don’t yet they do yet they don’t.

#5 in that list reads like a set of rejected Cardiacs lyrics.

it's actually an interesting question because what's good in his work is a sense of humanity and decency, but what's bad in both the work & in the public self (which we have to assume reflects himself: the one who answers questions for interviewers is not just a construct, he's not playing a part to be critiqued while holding opinions to the contrary of the things he says, etc) is really super gross, unkind, uncharitable, mean and petty. since his body of work is the construction of a public self, the question "what happened to you?" is pretty fair imo -- but I think, you know, the stuff that made him rich and that almost everybody has to confess some affection for is pretty heavily narcissistic stuff, stuff that glorifies the speaker and excludes anything like dialogue: Morrissey's work is a man expressing his opinions, often not even about his experiences but about the stuff he thought about while sitting around in his room. but "a man alone with his thoughts is in bad company" after a while -- an idealistic teenager may think "people ought to be nice to animals" or "the royal family, what horseshit" but the same man, having been repeatedly told by others & by his bank account that he's just a stellar dude, may (and does) think some pretty shitty thoughts, which he'll also then share in the hopes of being praised some more, and will then be resentful, like a child, when the people who feed him stop applauding his use of the potty

tl;dr this is what happens when you decline to mature after adolescence but still have a microphone

All that is so, probably.

It was striking for me that on his last album it took until track three (I think) for him to make reference to himself.

List of the Lost is, by some large distance, the worst book I have ever read. So sad to see the man who was the most gifted lyricist of his generation – someone who combined past and present to create his own wholly recognisable world – descend to this.

Joan, that's an excellent post. Also, doesn't he bore himself going on about the monarchy, vegetarianism, The royals & Oscar Wilde over and over again for 40+ years?

Morrissey is, like Prince, such a rarified and private personality that I've heard next to nothing about him as a person, and even when I have, it raises more questions than it answers. The most "human" thing I've heard is that he and his bandmates play soccer together all the time, which is not unlike stories of people playing basketball with Prince. Other than that, the "real" Morrissey seems to be on double-secure lockdown.

For that matter, he seems like such the opposite of indie bro Marr that I can't tell if Morrissey has changed, Marr has changed, or if their opposite nature is what somehow made them such strong collaborators in the first place.

I read a review of the book today saying at least the jury for the Bad Sex Award would only have to read one book this year :(

Joanie very otm

I enjoyed the autobiography tbh, at least the first 2/3rds of it or so. but bro has not aged well.
