Was/Is Morrissey Racist?

"But officer, you don't understand! 'Morrissey I Am Not A Dog On A Chain Peaking At Number 3 For One Week Only' is the name of my dog!"

xp. if you believe the fake news media, nick

It would seem he was correct and has actually had multiple no. 1s in Scotland.

BRUTAL!

release actually coincides with the uk going into full lockdown, the governement didn't actually want you to hear this new record xp

why doesn’t this piece of shit just release his garbage himself, is it because he’s so in love with the 50s or some shit

that would require work

also would oblige him to pay his musicians the salary he insists that they deserve, and would leave him with many fewer scapegoats to write aggrieved posts about having betrayed him and let him down, when the records fail to sell 1,000,000 copies, and nobody to flounce away from.

he would totally be financially better off selling his ill-thought mini-essays (and demos) on Patreon, Am4nda P4lmer style, than trying to get newspaper and radio attention twice a year. (and could probably get a pliant label deal by demonstrating the fervour of that subscription audience, though again would do better selling directly to them. release one live albums on bandcamp each quarter (from different eras), a best-of EP of new & old demos once a year (having already had them to patreons), get a distro deal for studio albums but sell a deluxe version direct; let the label handle the fulfilment on this out of laziness as a gesture of goodwill.

does anyone have Morrissey's manager's phone number

310-962-6700

^ looked up this Beverly Hills number, reached a mansion owned by Ricky Martin 2004-2006, and by Michael & Shakira Caine 1976-87, who installed a pool that extended from the living room to outdoors, but the next owners removed the indoor part, before a later buyer razed the entire house.

phone numbers vaguely related to people who have not figured out how to live

in not-entirely-startling news: armond white is on twitter arguing that the most recent three morrissey LPs are the best of his career

I'm sad to report that…

He's still among us.

Hmph

Saw this thread and immediately thought the worst/best.

considering what this last year has done to loads of previously-seemingly-ok musicians, I dread to think what Morrissey's next pronouncement will be when he emerges again.

Being parodied by latter day Simpsons, I mean why would you even bother drawing attention to it? Like being savaged by a dead sheep.

Simpsons show
Morrissey character
Beatles band

"I wish this show about a fictional musician had told millions of people about several of the many racist things that the real Morrissey has said and sung, so that they could really get into him"

"Other shows like SNL still do a great job at finding ways to inspire great satire" - no they don't, but I still hope someone from the show reads this and they insult Morrissey in some way in an upcoming episode

Utterly shocked that Morrissey has a very thin white skin and time on his hands

you have to admit it is pretty racist to show him with his belly hanging out

wait who wrote this? is talking about himself in 3rd person just a thing he does? and i'm pretty sure he has sued or threatened to sue multiple times? isn't that part of the reason he got such an easy ride in the press until things got this bad?

What's with the greengrocer's apostrophe

he sued the NME and settled out of court

i always hated the smith's

i think it's probably his management who wrote that post since iirc he isn't in the habit of writing in third person when he does personally make those sort of statements but he probably dictated the general gist of the post to them

it's probably some poor bastard from his band, same guy who was all "he was complaining about anti-brexit MEDIA, not anti-brexit audiences".

would also make sense because I can't really imagine Morrissey having a working knowledge of what the Simpsons or SNL even are, as they are not British pop hits from 1962

get out bart i'm piss

Yeah, this doesn’t read like Morrissey’s writing at all, tbh.

But when a show stoops so low to use harshly hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt (when he has never looked like that at any point in his career) makes you wonder who the real hurtful, racist group is here.

really makes u think

makes you think

lmao

:D

racist against bequiffed Mancunian miserabilists

Also, while I might quibble with aspects of Azaria's apology, I think publicly apologizing is taking that mirror and holding it up to yourself.

the belly hanging out of the shirt thing makes me positive it IS morrissey

Last Night I Dreamt That I Was a Viking

Did a googles image search of Morrissey topless and now I have to go and bleach my eyes.

Apparently he has a habit of taking off his shirt during encores and throwing it to the audience.

Don’t search on youtube - Morrissey encore shirt - unless you got eyebleach ready.

Is his belly hanging out of his shirt before he takes it off?

i went to a morrissey show where he took his shirt off and i wish i hadn't

However, after Lisa has an opportunity to attend a Snuffs reunion concert, she soon discovers that Quilloughby is no longer his former self — instead, he’s now overweight, racist, and worst of all, he eats meat. “I was [a vegan], until I found out veganism was invented by foreigners, for whom there are far too many on this planet,” Quilloughby proclaims.

My condolences.

Come to think of it, I've never heard any of his solo material and at this point I'm not sure I want to anyway?

Wait sorry I hadn’t read the full screed, DON’T SUE ME STEPHEN

Meanwhile, “Morrissey has never made a ‘cash grab’, hasn’t sued any people for their attacks, has never stopped performing great shows, and is still a serious vegan and strong supporter for animal rights,” the singer proclaimed. “By suggesting all of the above in this episode…The Simpsons’ hypocritical approach to their storyline says it all.”
