    A sneaky way for Morrissey & Marr to reunite... what do you think?

    Aint gonna happen. Hell will freeze over first.

    35th anniversary of Wolverhampton gig (December 22, 2023)

    Was it not Viva Hate that saved his career? Kill Uncle and the album never to be Bona Drag were interesting detours, but it took Your Arsenal, and then Vauxhall and I, to get his career back on track musically. But I agree he never looked better around that time.

    What does Morrissey think of Shane MacGowan?

    As I posted in the Shane MacGowan thread I don't think they got on. I could be wrong but it's just a hunch. The fact that Moz has said nothing about Shane's passing would seem to confirm that. Moz not commenting on the death of an important cultural figure - like David Bowie, for example - tends...

    Morrissey Central "Bernie Sanders" (December 10, 2023)

    Moz needs to do something like this again, rather than inane posts about Come Dancing. The interview on US morning TV was excellent. Has he bought back Bonfire yet? The silence is deafening.

    Morrissey Central "Bernie Sanders" (December 10, 2023)

    Exactly that. Malarkey's mental gymnastics are driven by the fear that eats away at her psyche that maybe, just maybe Morrissey has views that are different from her own, and aren't views that equate with SWP policy.

    Morrissey Central "Bernie Sanders" (December 10, 2023)

    Jesus, what a sad and pathetic human being Morrissey is in your head. You make him sound like an old demented uncle that dribbles when he eats. Next stop, the care home.

    embarrassing. up there (or down there) with the toilet wall pic.

    Music-News / Fiona Dodwell: "Morrissey UK tour a hit with fans despite continued label silence" (July 19, 2023)

    I wasn't aware of that article. It really is a hoot. Brace yourselves... As with many greats of the music world, it is often hard to fully articulate exactly what makes an artist as respected and loved as they are. Many bands have solid lead vocalists, or songwriters that create tracks that are...

    Morrissey Central Updated chart history (December 3, 2023)

    Moz Central posts nothing about the passing of the greatest poet and singer/song-writer that Ireland has produced in past 50 years - but posts this instead. Jesus.

    Bengali in Platforms without the fringe

    The song was viewed as 'racist'. And by people on the left. Take it up with The Guardian, not me. I don't think the song is racist. And I don't think Moz is racist. The way you go on about it, you must be racist. I wonder what incipient racist urges drive your not so magnificent obsession...

    Bengali in Platforms without the fringe

    I have always thought that 'Common People' by Pulp expresses a very similar sentiment to 'Bengali in Platforms'. It's about being a 'day tripper' in someone else's culture. The subject of the song doesn't belong - she's from Greece and 'everybody hates a tourist'. That song expresses much more...

    Bengali in Platforms without the fringe

    Whitechapel is in Tower Hamlets, and getting on for 40% of the population here in Tower Hamlets is of Bangladeshi heritage, and they wouldn't like to be described as of 'Indian descent'. It's a small point I know, but to which heritage we belong and where we belong is the main theme of the song...

    Radio Ulster: Give The Smiths Back To The Irish (November 26, 2023)

    The new 'hate speech' law proposed in Ireland is indeed the stuff of dystopia. The reason I mentioned Bonfire is because there has never been a better moment to release an album like that. For some the memory of the Manchester Arena bombing may have faded, no doubt, but the message of the title...

    Radio Ulster: Give The Smiths Back To The Irish (November 26, 2023)

    Moz and his 'big mouth'. There was indeed panic on the streets of Dublin last week. His ma and da were Dubliners so I can imagine Morrissey having a strong opinion about ordinary Dubliners being labelled 'far right' for not lighting candles and singing Don't Look in Anger following an attack on...

    Morrissey Central Morrissey cover star & influence Terry Venables dies (November 26, 2023)

    what a great photo on Moz central. sounds like he had battled with illness for some time, so best to remember him in youth and health. RIP El Tel.

    Has Moz said anything about Israel lately?

    Yes, indeed, his knowledge of Moz and his music appears very limited.

    Has Moz said anything about Israel lately?

    Does 'Britain' = the government & the army? of course not. Israel, like any country, ultimately is its people, its culture etc. The song is in praise of that, and suggests the Israeli people should feel pride and not shame.

    Has Moz said anything about Israel lately?

    I read that line as relating to the absurdity of Catholic priests (who are celibate) advising people about sexual matters. But you are absolutely right that that line clearly relates to the singer, or the subject of the song, and has nothing to do with Judaism, where priests are not celibate...

    Has Moz said anything about Israel lately?

    Yes, portions of the song allude to sex, and rejecting sexual repression. My reading of it is that the singer, or the subject of the song (that is always ambiguous in Morrissey's lyrics), compares himself to Israel and Israel's experience in the world. Love yourself, as you should, seems to me...
