People on the Morrissey Solo forums talk about Moz having a more serious illness that I won't bother to name here but the recurring, serious bouts of bad health do make me concerned.

As someone who dislikes Strangeways, the vast majority of Morrissey's solo career was already unpalatable to me musically; the indefensible shit he's said on the side is piss icing on the shit cake.

“England is a memory now,” the singer remarked, “The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in.”
just need to get my "titan of intellect" PaulTMA head on to wheedle out the non-racist meaning of a quote like this. Obviously it is very nuanced and all but hidden from the "thick as fuck" types who take this as a typical Mosleyite/UKIP/BNP type statement.

it's really hard for me to gauge how racist the statement "reggae is vile" was coming from Morrissey in 1985, especially considering how easy it is to loathe any popular genre of music, but I feel content labeling Morrissey a racist based on other things he's said & done

I don't think he's some far-right crank some seem eager to make him out to be. The "sub-species" comment seems the most indefensible, everything else seems to have been driven by NME which makes things sort of questionable. I understand reading "Bengali in Platforms" as racist but it's open to interpretation imho (is the narrator being patronizing, or admonishing, etc. it isn't really obvious), it's hardly "One in a Million". At any rate vilifying him only feeds into his persecution complex so keep it up guys

For some reason, I get the feeling the whole thing is a contractual obligation.
Like, Moz has to write the book so he's written something bonkers.
And now the publisher has to publish it.
― Mark G, Friday, 25 September 2015 22:50 (eight years ago) link
i doubt that but it does make you wonder if he had a contractual stipulation not to have an editor because no editor worth their salt and none working for penguin main-line would let that through, surely.

i understand what you mean, i think but:
Rare is the writer who is willing to complain that the big problem with Churchill during the war was that he was, frankly, a bit of a coward and unwilling to try to identify with the people he governed, but Morrissey is that writer. “Churchill himself would experience World War 2 safely and in a suite of rooms at Claridge’s most luxurious Mayfair hotel, with not a complicated twitch or pang to trouble his elaborate evening meal.” We’ll leave aside the fact that he makes it sound like Claridge’s is a chain, with the Mayfair branch simply its most upscale outpost – “Yeah, I was going to go stop at the Travelodge, but I got a deal on the Claridge’s at Peterborough services” – and instead note that the entire passage reads like a polemic written by a particularly single-minded street corner pamphleteer (see also Morrissey’s writing about the pernicious power of, wait for it, local television news. Damn you, Look North, with your hegemony!).
no editor would have let "a suite of rooms at Claridge’s most luxurious Mayfair hotel," slip through the net unless they were terrified of moz or a fanboy and therefore not a good editor (if there was one, as i said).
i would love one for my posts and i do need one, as you can tell.

My drive to work is too long and I often ponder about things, sometimes to get my brain away from "work".
Anyway, partly triggered by that Daily Mail banner headline that seemed to be suggesting the deaths of David Bowie and Terry Wogan as some kind of competition and partly influenced by enjoying a Best of Morrissey ... I found myself pondering Morrissey's obituaries. How will he be described? Will he appear on the front pages of newspapers, aside from the Guardian and Independent?
(Its been a while since I played any Morrissey and I was struck by how odd/quirky/creative much of it was).
