For the record:
i am one of the many, many visitors (I'm sure) who visit this site and never comment on anything, as want to avoid the shitfest that follows - we, quiet minority have better things to do in life than taking part in childish arguments.
Now, many raise the question a lot of times when someone posts a negative comment (most recently about the Morrissey 25 live film), why come here and bitch about, why don't we just go off and listen to some other bands/artists?
Yes, I'm also someone who thinks of Morrissey's recent output and live band is more than sub-standard - i could go on and on about it but you read it before from others. so you know where i stand. But you know, if you're someone who was a fan for many, many years, and Morrissey had a very special place in your heart - you know, it's not easy just to give up on him that easily. It's like, you had a great, great friend/girlfriend who was very important to you for years, has a very special place in your life, then gradually you see this person turn into someone you detest. Or goes out with a total jerk.
After a while you give up, sure, as it's his/her life, but for a while...don't tell me you would just shrug and pass if you would be disappointed in someone - as we are disappointed in our former hero.
Don't be afraid. We will disappear. But wouldn't it be nicer to start to like him again? It's not up to us.
Have a nice day you all.
