Very cool and well written, and notice Moz the so called alcoholic holding a Fiji water.

 

[Thewlis]

Yes we all know that, so what's your point.

Happy new year to you, too

 

[Vesper Nocturne]

Very sweet photo of him. I could definitely stare at this face all year long. Miss this cute smile!

 

[General Disaray]

Right ? These were exactly my first thoughts. Much like in Fiona Dodwell’s article, it seems that even those trying to praise Morrissey end up creating this weird narrative of a misunderstood, tortured artist, almost like they’re saying sorry for bringing him up in the first place.
These mediatic praises just seem a bit shallow to me — they’re almost always the same…

Unfortunately a new band without a catalogue of great albums and singles, especially thirty plus years worth and when you could really make money doing music will probably have to qualify liking the man with such a statement to stay in with 'the man' so to speak

 

[ACTON]

Looks like Morrissey's saying how come you can get a number one album when I can't even get a record deal.

I was in the corner and what was actually said was "Stand up when you talk to me."

 

[The Irish Hare]

Love him or loathe him, I'm glad Thom Rylance made this post.

Actually he was standing, I heard that Morrissey told him to sit his arse down and listen.

A few days after Nottingham.

was that the one he canceled?

Yep, that's right. I had a contingency gig planned in the same city as I thought there was a decent chance he wouldn't show after cancelling Nottingham.

 

[Jeremy Clarkson]

Very cool and well written, and notice Moz the so called alcoholic holding a Fiji water.

Noted. He's not alcoholic, it's the slight fluctuations in his blood pH levels when he mixes mineral waters.

Oh yeh, because if you drink water it indicates that you never drink alcohol, right?

 

[JM🇬🇧]

Just because it’s a water bottle doesn’t mean there’s water in it.

 

[JM🇬🇧]

I’m not saying it’s not water! I’m just saying it’s not conclusive proof. It could be any clear liquid.

Actually seeing as it’s a black and white photo it could be literally anything.

It was one of the ones he cancelled!

Yeah… must’ve replaced the water with some spirit, true balkan style

Balkan style? I was doing it on the LNER on the way to Nottingham last year.

It’s a tradition in Eastern European countries to store alcohol in big water bottles for long periods of time — it then becomes a running gag among many households to not accidentally mistake the terribly tasting family-alcohol for water, therefore the ambiguity… it’s what I instantly thought of at first glance

Sometimes, it's only stored for a short period of time!
