"I can't think of one sentence [I regret saying]. We're still at that stage where if I rescued a kitten from drowning, they'd say: 'Morrissey Mauls Kitten's Body'. So what can you do?"
Morrissey speaking to the NME, 1985
And here we are, in 2024.
Yes, you are right about 'strategy' - never a word that could be applied to Moz when he opens his mouth. He must know that himself, given one of his most well known Smiths singles. And in these days of social media and the censorious mind set, where everyone on Twitter appears to be the off...
When you say 'cultural acceptance' you mean by the mainstream media? Most ordinary people would agree with Morrissey on the issues that have made him a so-called 'pariah'. I think he knows that. It's hard back tracking from something when you know all you have against you is lies and more lies.
The erotic nature of manufactured objects is a recognised 'thing', as is 'mechanophilia', being sexually aroused by things like cars and bikes. Of course, millions of people in the world were probably conceived in a car - the car often being the only place that young couples can get some...
Strange that Moz would agree to remove a photo taken by Linder, and replace it with this. First rule of changing something - only change it if the change is an improvement on what was there before. This isn't.
In the end we are all here as lovers of music and the singing voice...
We are not talking just Smiths and Morrissey here. If you had to whittle it down to your top 20 - what would you say are your 20 favourite albums of all time? Any musical genre. Any decade. These are the 20 albums you would...
It's a really powerful and haunting track. Would love to have heard Sinéad O'Connor cover it.
I love Melanie's cover of Ruby Tuesday. It's one of my favourite Rolling Stones' tracks, but she makes it her own.
I saw Morrissey at Brixton Academy in October 2022. Alain being there definitely added considerably to the buzz of the crowd. Probably the best Morrissey concert I have ever attended. He's quality. And just what Morrissey needs.
Agree, this single wasn't as great as it should have been. Any great song is more than the sum of its parts - that extra 'magic' is needed. And this single just doesn't have it. All the component parts are there - but it just never really hits the mark.
It may be some time before we get any 'news' on Moz Central, so we may need to keep ourselves amused...What song, written or performed by another artist or artists, would you most like to hear Morrissey sing as a cover version? I think we would all have loved to have heard Bowie and Morrissey do...
Whatever caused the fire - the destruction of Notre Dame was deeply symbolic on so many levels. Perhaps poetically so. The national riots in France of 2023 more prosaically so. Victor Hugo in his great novel, Notre Dame of Paris, called the cathedral a national icon of France. And perhaps the...
To see what is driving the trans industry, look no further than what has happened to our food. Who wants the boring old food that nature has given us - let's create an ultra-processed version. Who wants a boring old human body - we can give you an ultra-processed version of that too. The new...
I think you have described why Christianity became so popular.
There is also something very childlike about religions like Christianity and Islam. The Gospels are powerful 'brain worm' fairy tales. Goebbels could never have dreamt up better propaganda. And Islam is all about certainty. No need...
