Sometimes I think about the difficulties in separating the art from the artist, then I remember how much cash the artist has separated from my wallet over the years. Screw him and his views, I'm not throwing my money down the drain.
There were arguments about Panic, he wasn't far removed from The Smiths when he wrote Bengali In Platforms (albeit I think that's clunky rather than racist), then there was the odd comment here and there in The Severed Alliance.
Frankly, all I've ever seen and heard of Moz outside of the music...
If you say something like 'I'll still listen to The Smiths but not his solo work' presumably you weren't listening to much solo stuff to begin with.
It's also weird that you'd pull the political views card and write on the other side that the none-more-white Smiths are fine while the...
Rebels Without Applause was shadowbanned? Someone better tell Spotify, Amazon and YouTube.
(Incidentally, there's at least a dozen fan videos/love videos/leaked audio of the song on YouTube, small wonder the official release didn't get much attention, everyone's heard it)
Morrissey would be a perfect guest to have on Graham Norton or James Corden's shows. I'm not commenting on the quality, or lack of quality, of them but they get to a point where all the guests are on stage at once. So he could do that and if he decided not to play, they could talk to someone else.
Earlier in this thread, Uncle Skinny referred to 'Occam's Razor' (the simplest explanation is usually the correct one).
Morrissey's problem is he's convinced he's a victim of 'cancel culture' when really he's a victim of 'being a late middle aged legacy musician culture'. The only guy of his...
It's impossible to come up with solutions that will satisfy people who are pathologically angry. Far left, far right, Uncle Skinny - these are people that anyone serious should ignore.
...the people you contact to get your stuff on streaming services and checking the capacity of vinyl pressing plants.
My mate, who coincidentally got me into Morrissey in the first place, has just released a single, it's available *everywhere*, if she can do it, so can he.
JUST GET IT DONE.
If I could be bothered to put together a list of 200 singers, I'd probably put Morrissey in the top 100. Albeit I've heard far fewer singers than Rolling Stone's editorial staff probably have.
He's a great lyricist but he's got no filter. On the most recent album there's some great stuff like Once I Saw The River Clean and some absolute garbage like repeating 'Ruth is John' for what felt like 329 times.
