Morrissey has always been among the most pretentious and humorless douchebags in music. I dug the Smiths back in the day but never could stand him.
Is this what qualifies for journalism these days? A lazy, rehashing of unsubstantiated agenda driven bile. I wish i hadn't clicked on it.
Does the journalist work for The Guardian too ? Another pile of shit wrote by a leftie journalist. Morrissey continues to sell concerts out around the world.
The same old rehashed shite. Morrissey continues to sell out venues across the world with a huge global fan base. The album will come out.
Unbelievable. Appalling article Full of spite and hatred. The last ten years have been similar to the previous, full of art, sellout tours, albums of beauty. He is real with a voice so respect and do your homework before the next piece and use crayons next time.
Him and Eric Clapton. Both OldandInTheWay
Look, nobody outside of shoegazing mopers EVER liked Morrissey. At no point was he ever thrilling or an icon. He's the sui generis incel and only incels were ever into him.
He has been a Tory crackpot for years, increasingly becoming an 'old man yells at cloud' type. I will always love The Smiths, but Morrissey is definitely an 'appreciate the art & ignore the ignorant artist' case.
