Morrissey lyrics, as well as Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, have been taken (seemingly out of context) to discredit David Camerons views on rap musics influence on violent youth culture.

BBC story article here:

Is there violence in Cameron's CD collection? - BBC News

The BBC attempt to refute David Cameron's (leader of the Conservative Party) claim that BBC Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood's glorification of violence is leading to the violence in British youth culture. They have course have added to the anti-Morrissey bandwagon of the press in the last couple of weeks, and considering Cameron has come out as a Smiths fan, have attempted to show the violence of Morrissey.

Here are some excerpts:

"Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head.

"Oh sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed."

But this isn't a dangerous rapper straight off the streets of Compton, rather it is one of Mr Cameron's favourite artists, Morrissey, on the Smiths' Bigmouth Strikes Again.

But this is clearly OK because Morrissey is being ironic. He is a brainy sort and therefore this knowing reference to domestic violence is fine.

But Morrissey also sang: "The kind people have a wonderful dream, Margaret on the guillotine, cause people like you, make me feel so tired."

One might assume that musicians who seemed to advocate the execution of Conservative prime ministers might also present themselves as a target for Mr Cameron, though admittedly guillotines are some way down the ranks of street weapons.

All this is entirely apart from the unconfirmed allegations that Morrissey sent a wreath to the funeral of Ronnie Kray. If true, that would surely have been a moment of the most ironic irony.

New Manchester compilation CD priced £13.99 includes Panic and How Soon Is Now?

The Sun's Something For The Weekend section has voted www.morrisseymusic.com as it's 'Website of the week... not'. It takes issue with the merchandise and critizes Morrissey for an apparent hypocrisy over this and his opposition to Thatcherism. Of course it's facts are wildly wrong. There is no mention of this being controlled only by Sanctuary and Morrissey's obvious contempt for the site shown by his favouring true-to-you. It then has the cheek to suggest true-to-you is a better site... a conclusion Morrissey obviously came to some time ago!
