I am in no way a fan of AI (for ethical reasons and otherwise), but I have just stumbled across this 'cover', and it's simply marvellous.
Can one really complain when AI gives us another chance to enjoy Morrissey's (or rather, Morrissey-inspired) vocals? I guess not.
Have recently been exploring some mid to late 60s things when I came across this gem:
Is it me or does it sound almost identical to I’ve Changed My Plea to Guilty?..
I've always admired how raw and personal Morrissey can get, but at this point it feels like he views others as an extension of himself only - it's like his reasoning has been clouded by his own troubles to the point where there's no return.
On another note, it's still bewildering how much he...
My thoughts exactly - people seem to use this notion as a twisted coping mechanism of sorts.
Morrissey has been making questionable choices for a while now, why not just face the truth?..
I'm sorry if it's going to sound trite, but where would Morrissey be if it wasn't for Johnny?
I'm not trying to undermine his immense talent, but we do have to admit that The Smiths were a collective effort, and - although his contribution in equal measure - more than just Morrissey.
Sing Your Life - both existential and uplifting.
'Make no mistake my friend, your pointless life will end...
But before you go, can you look at the truth -
You have a lovely singing voice!'..
Perhaps the reason for this widely common approach is the fact that, although always outspoken and contrarian, it was only after his split from The Smiths that Morrissey started making more bitter and, quite frankly, rather questionable statements?
I myself do, of course, listen to both (much...
Morrissey and Johnny would argue though:
(As for me, I enjoy them myself from time to time. Although there's always the same lingering question of whether they were image over substance or vice versa.)
True to the man in spirit perhaps - I cannot judge the factual content, for isn't any film a subjective take on a subject anyway?
I am aware of the backlash the film has faced, although I can hardly see anything 'offensive' about it.
Controversially, England is Mine is one of my favourite films ever - both as a Morrissey/Smiths fan and a regular viewer.
It's simple yet heartfelt and, although directed by a lifelong fan, doesn't go the trite and traditional route of relying exclusively on famous tunes (even if it's for...
Also interesting how quickly - automatically almost - people go from discussing women professionally to personal attacks condemning their sexuality as soon as some controversy arises.
Eye-opening really.
As much as I respect Morrissey, I have to say that most of the time he is 'all talk and no action' (whatever the subject is), while Johnny here is a good example of how you can actually help a cause by using your status.
There's one thing I don't quite understand - if you enjoy being 'different' and 'controversial', why not challenge oneself instead of surrounding oneself with people who do everything but that?..
Aren't interviews supposed to provide some kind of insight (whether positive or negative)?
