I reckon California Son was born in the San Fernando Valley. I reckon there is a reason why he calls himself the f***ING CALIFORNIA SON!, not the Manchester Son or England Son...get it?
I reckon you foreigners need to stop calling the Brit occupation of the Republic of Ireland "the troubles". Real Irish people who were smart like California Son's parents left the Republic and immigrated to places like Moz Angeles and other cities in California and became rich and successful not like all the dumbshits who settled in places like New Youraaaawk, Cheecaaawgo, and Camden, New Jersey. The only thing Irish about the California Son is his strict Roman Catholic belief. Wake up c*** tit twat fark arse centre colour chipper curry inn n nn nnn n n n n nnn n nn it.
The Troubles are also called the Northern Ireland conflict. The Troubles were in Northern Ireland not in the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland is still part of Great Britain. Ireland is quite a small country but there is a "partition" in Ireland which divides the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. I personally would like to see the partition gone and Ireland united again. The conflict is both political and religious with Roman Catholics wanting Northern Ireland to be a Republic and part of the rest of Ireland and getting rid of the partition. The Protestants want Northern Ireland to remain part of Great Britain they want to keep the "Union" with Great Britain and they support the British Royal family. The reason why the British wanted to keep Northern Ireland was because at the time Northern Ireland was the wealthy part of Ireland. Do you know about the Good Friday agreement?
I have been to the Republic of Ireland and to Dublin but I have never been to Northern Ireland. Ireland is a great country! I can't speak Irish Gaelic though.
Maybe it doesn't matter where Morrissey is from. A lot of people feel their identity is important to them though and ancestry research is becoming more popular these days.
Irish and Scottish people emigrated to the USA and also to Canada. Some went to Australia and New Zealand. They would of gone on ships over the sea in those days. The new world might of seemed appealing to make a new life and there were potato famines in Ireland.
Irish people have also come to England and Scotland for work. I don't know the reason why Morrissey's parents moved to the industrial Northern city of Manchester, England maybe it was to find work and the hope of a better life? Manchester is a pretty rough and tough city. I lived in Manchester for 3 years and traumatic things happened. There is an Irish community in the great city of Liverpool which is quite near to Manchester.
Morrissey went to the USA and I believe to California as a child because he has family there. He went there for holidays and breaks he didn't live there at that point. Morrissey has since had homes in LA and Malibu in California. California is a great place I have been there. I have also been to New York and the Deep South. I love America's Deep South.
There is a place in London called Camden. Morrissey sang a song about it. London is my hometown. Many Irish and Scottish people have come to London over the years. Morrissey lived in London for a while.
I can understand why you love California the weather is amazing there and people are very warm and friendly. Morrissey has lived in Paris, Rome, London and Switzerland. I heard he has homes in Switzerland, Dublin, Ireland and Cheshire which is near to Manchester. Cheshire is a pretty posh county close to Manchester. Cheshire reminds me a bit of Surrey which is quite a posh county close to London.
When I think of California and LA I think of Michael Jackson and the Jackson family and all the stars. There is so much music come from America and also the movie and entertainment industry. Do you know much about the gold rush in America? I love the USA.
Roman Catholics are all over the world not just in Ireland. In fact Catholicism is the largest of all the Christian denominations! I'm not a Catholic I was brought up Church of England (Anglican) what Americans call "Episcopalian" or the Episcopal Church. It was like a break off of the Roman Catholic Church. I'm now a born-again, Bible-believing Christian. Morrissey is a Roman Catholic but he also has an interest in Hinduism and the New Age. I'm not sure how strict he is about his faith.
