This is so much fun to watch, as is his analysis of Morrissey's live version of "How Soon Is Now" in Vegas. Entertaining and insightful in equal measure!
Phil Anselmo, who was the vocalist in Pantera - and were way heavier than The Darkness - is also a massive fan of Morrissey and The Smiths (link below)all round good guy,the darkness were almost soft metal and yet here he is a fan of M.
I've been listening to the Darkness since their early days and I just assumed Justin hated Morrissey. I'm not only stunned that he doesn't but even more stunned how much he loves him. The "I don't agree with his politics" disclaimer is a little disappointing but predictable nonetheless.Funny you should post this....I've been overdosing on Justin's channel this week. Who knew he's such a lovely and knowledgeable guy.

If one is going to give the disclaimer then I'd love to hear them owning it and declaring that they believe everyone and anyone who wants to enter the UK must be allowed to, no matter what the consequences. But Hawkins isn't going to do that because that would require having to stand for something and he's probably worried he'd lose subs.
Then why even mention the disclaimer if he doesn't want to get into it?Pop music is a frivolous world by and large. It's ok most people don't want to get into discussions about it. God knows, most of us are sick of the stupid bastards.

Okay so he's for the current thing that Morrissey is against. Got it.He says he disagrees with Moz, that IS taking a stand. Let's just agree about the music.
