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

haha i know we speak in hyperbole on here but damn

sinister porpoise (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 14:06 (nine years ago) link

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?

Mark G, Tuesday, 24 June 2014 14:40 (nine years ago) link

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

Knob Dicks (wins), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:09 (nine years ago) link

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

sinister porpoise (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:16 (nine years ago) link

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.

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:20 (nine years ago) link

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

Knob Dicks (wins), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:28 (nine years ago) link

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

sinister porpoise (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:47 (nine years ago) link

the indefensible shit he's said

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

sinister porpoise (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 15:48 (nine years ago) link

“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.

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

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

Treeship, Tuesday, 24 June 2014 21:11 (nine years ago) link

"Bengali In Platforms" goes back to 1988, so

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 21:12 (nine years ago) link

apparently this all started in 1985

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 21:15 (nine years ago) link

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.

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

fact checking cuz, Tuesday, 24 June 2014 21:34 (nine years ago) link

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

macklin' rosie (crüt), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 21:47 (nine years ago) link

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

da croupier, Tuesday, 24 June 2014 21:48 (nine years ago) link

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

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

it's okay to enjoy some of his music and still accept that he's really really racist, kids

clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 22:05 (nine years ago) link

belax, dude

― clockpuncher (Noodle Vague)

Of course it is, but because he hasn't made a good album since the Clinton administration it's easy not to enjoy it.

haha yeah the cutoff point for me is Vauxhall. although I did enjoy his autobio.

I do like how questioning NME's journalistic integrity is a FPable offense tho

Was/Is Morrissey Racist?

Eyeball Kicks, Tuesday, 24 June 2014 22:09 (nine years ago) link

you are the quarry brought me back into the Moz fold but it was also one of those albums wherein the unexpected enjoyment I got somehow didn't make me any more interested in the follow ups. it felt like a decent summing up of his typical themes done in a very good, final way for me.
