Morrissey really seriously ill?

:(

idk what effect well wishes from the internet can have on pneumonia, but just in case i'll send a double portion to sharivari's uncle and yknow fuck morrissey

Jeez guys

according to Cliff Richard, Morrissey is still in hospital after cancelling his US tour.

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.

Yeah I get concerned as well, better check the Morrissey Solo forums tonight just to make sure the cunt isn't dead or hasn't mistakenly been buried alive.

Hope the rumors aren't true

This is one racist arsewipe I will not be sad to see getting planted.

People who think Morrissey is racist are always thick as fuck

but not too thick to read his history of saying racist stuff

its a tight line

Smart ppl know that calling the Chinese a "subspecies" cannot possibly be racist if the person saying it has written some songs

Great conversation guys

Eh he's a horrible person and his apologists are some of the worst ppl alive, I'm not a fan of serious illness ftr even if it stops morrissey saying things which is unequivocally a positive

Good reading from Racialicious

haha i know we speak in hyperbole on here but damn

outta like 7 billion or w/e there's gotta be 3, 4bn we could do without. Morrissey fans could slot in there without a hitch.

But who would buy the albums?

And who would make the non-cover versions?

Yeah that was meant as morrissey-style hyperbole without the genuine bigotry that makes him so lovable, obv there are worse ppl in the world but I'm still gonna say ugh those guys are the worst

i still like him
i dunno
but i get why ppl hate him
his personality has been so terrible for decades
i like the songs though, or the old ones
but yeah a lot of the stuff he's done in recent years is indefensible

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.

Xp Yeah I know some of his stuff means a lot to some ppl, I wasn't gonna add to x's kool-aid man itt cause it's hardly my concern if ppl are bummed out by a racist singer being unwell be it morrissey or clapton, assertions that he's a misunderstood victim deserve mockery tho

nah he never cops to anything that's the frustrating thing

feel like he was always that way then that dumb lawsuit just made him completely ridiculous about everything and bitter

the indefensible shit he's said

"All The Indefensible Shit You've Said" was a pretty good b-side i thought

“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.

I don't have piss cakes in my bakery but I do have:

http://www.lolhome.com/img_big/shitty-cake.jpg

"All The Indefensible Shit You've Said" was his collaboration wit t.A.T.u IIRC

nah was the killers I'm sure

Was he always racist or was this a mid-life development?

"Bengali In Platforms" goes back to 1988, so

apparently this all started in 1985

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrissey#Accusations_of_racism

He said reggae was vile in the 80's and later tried to dismiss it as a joke as he signed to Attack records, suddenly he was a massive Trojan fan.

thread title makes me picture morrissey in a tracksuit and fat chains on.

all up in kfc trying to order a boca burger.

Morrissey, "My Agitas"

boy racist, boy racist / we're gonna kill this pretty thing

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

Reminds me it's been almost 20 years since the dude made an album I liked

xpost

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

Morrissey is on ILX?

:-)

Morrissey is Momus iirc

Isn't there already a Moz Is Racist thread? Can't we keep this to speculation on the severity of his illnesses?

He's Robbie Keane's cousin????

Racism is an illness.

I don't think he's some seriously ill crank some seem eager to make him out to be. The "feeling very sick and ill today" comments seems the most indefensible, everything else seems to have been driven by NME which makes things sort of questionable.

I confess that's not the most well-written post I've ever made

"everything else seems to have been driven by NME which makes things sort of questionable"
What? Really?Serious Bullshit! flag post timey.

I wonder if Moz can possibly be surprised at the critical reception, and how he's taking it

Morrissey really mentally ill? is a better question.

Looking forward to Moz/Franzen collabo.

J/k

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.

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.

You know that review of 1066 and all that, "Quotation is hopeless, every sentence clamours for it" ?

Change Quotation for "Excision", ...

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).

I think you've cracked it... which is what "Tommy" said to Moz when he slipped on Tommy's puke and fell headfirst into the toilet bowl in that Czech hotel room.
