I know why itunes put the smiths on itunes its because they wanted ads on youtube!

I wouldn't call Bowie's new tune "triumphant", in fact it is worse than Mozzer's new tunes, and I think they are at most 2 1/2's out of 5. It's been 10 years since Bowie's last album and he is working with Tony again and that is his first single? Doesn't give me any hope at all.

I've been enjoying Bowie's new tune all day --

I find it quite moving. Curious to hear what the rest of the record sounds like...
Hmmm. If you genuinely think People Are The Same Everywhere, or the other new stuff for that matter, comes close to the new Bowie track we may be finally discovering a major reason Morrissey isn't trying anymore. He realises he doesn't have to. Any old tripe will be lapped up regardless.

There was a time, and not very long ago either, when Morrissey could be rightly considered in the same lyrical league as Bowie, Cohen, Cave or any of the great songwriters of the last four or five decades. He's thrown that legacy aside in favour of simplistic dog whistle controversy, and this rockabilly rebel bollocks. He gets Letterman and similar spots because the bookers and decision makers are of an age to remember his heyday. He wouldn't get through the door with his current output because... There is none.
The time he is wasting repeating himself to local rags around the world would be better spent writing songs. We know he is capable of transcendent works. The idea that talent is being thrown aside giving interviews to the Wyoming Trade & Mart is embarrassing. These are the sort of titles artists have to tolerate on the way up, not at this point in his career.
I note, by the way, Morrissey's deafening silence on the Sandy Hook. massacre. Odd that, as we know his general view on the killing of children by psychopaths. Why hasn't he expanded on the plight of chicken-kind this time around. It couldn't be because he's flogging tickets across the States could it? No, it can't be. That would be the height of despicable hypocrisy. Perhaps it's just Norwegian kids he likes to see murdered because he doesn't tour there much.
Tomorrow's UK front pages are covered with the return of the Thin White Duke, a feat achieved without a syllable from the man himself. Meanwhile Morrissey blames his woes on anybody but himself.
All I knows is Bowie's on sale again. Thank the Lord.
