    Let's review the evidence. Is Morrissey racist?

    That's true of Morrissey's personality type. Good point you illustrated here.

    Let's review the evidence. Is Morrissey racist?

    And therein lies the hypocrisy. Ghandi was a pacifist and to some extent so is Morrissey, despite his well-noted attraction to the exact opposite of his convictions. When the sane, accepting Morrissey starts using "hateful" language to incite rage over his issue of choice (animal rights), things...

    Does your knowledge of an artists politics affect your appreciation of thier music?

    Re: I never appreciated his prose. I believe it to be deficient; deficient in elegance, poise, grace, and nuance. Yes his bleakness was intentional aesthetically, but to me it is soulless, empty and a smudge amoral. It's voiceless. I like how Morrissey can be direct without sacrificing his...

    Re: Can't stand him. Glad someone sees that. I would like you to illustrate the reason/s behind your opinion.

    Does your knowledge of an artists politics affect your appreciation of thier music?

    Re: Does your knowledge of an artists politics affect your appreciation of thier musi Nicely articulated. I agree with your assertion in the second paragraph, Morrissey is working class at heart, but he is estranged from that community also. He observes the social conventions and even...

    Re: Does your knowledge of an artists politics affect your appreciation of thier musi Michael Jackson was acquitted twice for allegations of child molestation. He is not Gary Glitter, who you should be mentioning instead of Jackson, because Gary Glitter was already associated with a faded...

    Is Malajusted Morrisseys worst album?

    Lucky for you it wasn't included.

    Yes the animal rights issue is something that Morrissey fumbled on, both recently and in the past. He serves as a catalyst sometimes...honestly I don't know what Morrissey's purpose is in social/political activism. He makes songs like Meat is Murder, and doesn't move beyond the usual...

    Cracked.com's somewhat critical Morrissey biography.

    I am not a fan so portentous that I can't appreciated some humor directed at Morrissey's way. I am used to people mocking Morrissey, but this is particularly nasty in some parts. Talk about laying it on thick. That bit about wishing Cromwell "had finished the job"? It's unnecessary.

    Best Singles Band

    I have a slight issue with the Smiths being described as 'legendary'. While the Smiths meant so much to a good amount of people, they certainly don't have the global appeal and pools of power in the music industry that the Beatles wield. By a landslide I prefer the Smiths and actually think they...

    Does anyone else see Morrissey as two, or perhaps even three, different men?

    I have always seen Morrissey as one person. He is multifaceted and has gone through his phases, choosing to emphasize what parts he wants to show of himself. I am interesting in seeing a fully integrated Morrissey though, if just for one month or so.

    Is Malajusted Morrisseys worst album?

    Re: Is Malajusted Morrisseys worst album? No!! I loved Maladjusted. It was unfairly neglected upon its release, and although there is some love for it shown here, it remains underrated compared to Your Arsenal and even You Are The Quarry amongst critics and fans. Including the b-sides, I...

    Johnny Marr discusses relationship with Morrissey, circa.2002

    I am floored by this. Beautifully put.

    Is Morrissey in a massive musical rut?

    That's precisely it. It is infuriating when the alternative becomes a trend only though, not a call to action or appropriate forms of inaction. I believe you and Anaesthesine mentioned something about other artists having the ability to shape-sift and change and thus innovate music to new...

    Is Morrissey in a massive musical rut?

    That's a very imaginative way of putting it.

    Is Morrissey in a massive musical rut?

    It's hard to tell, because I am such a fan of Morrissey. Honestly if I heard any of the three songs released in the Janice Long sessions not being a fan of Morrissey, I would have enjoyed them, but only see his act as novelty, not proof of artistic greatness. My reaction would've been: "Good but...

    Dermot O'Leary - Don't meet your heroes

    I don't think Russell is Morrissey's type really. Too French raconteur-esque for Morrissey's taste.

    Dermot O'Leary - Don't meet your heroes

    I agree with and I don't truly know exactly why Morrissey was able to sit down with Russell Brand, take a picture with Lady Gaga, or meet with Jonathan Ross. Morrissey still has a stated wariness about any praise he receives. Despite my deep disdain of him, Russell Brand seems like a genuine fan...
