Im.just curious about this guys, just ignore this if you want and i also realize some people really hate everything about him. Express that and tell me.why, or don't. I want ALL of your opinions for or against or even ravenous hate. Bring it.
I've been following Morrissey/Marr.since the Eighties. Smiths, Electronic,.solo albums, The The, Modest.Mouse on and on and on. When the court case happened a little bit ago (ive also read both of their books. Both cool, but i did skip.some of Morrisseys chapters though. Clearly paid.by the word on that one. You'll know what to skip,generally worth the read and its cool to hear both kf their perspectives on those early years, and they both look back fondly. So Morrissey got shafted on writers money, as did Marr, but deep down i dont thnk they REALLY cared, they have always been above the business aspect in opinion. They didn't sell out and always said/did what they want. Am.i wrong?..Are.they two more undercover cogs in the Freemason gears? Genuinely have no clue they WERE REALLY famous in the 80s, but you tell me.
I can totally understand violent hatred for him and thinking he sucks. Hes a strange case, and i wouldn't try to change your mind. I get that one both ways. I used to.hate them too, then i heard the album."Meat Is Murder and i started to understand his sense of humor (,or humour) more
The first I ever heard about Morrissey v Marr was that they were on opposite sides of Brexit. When I heard Marr comment about it, it was just typical liberal bigotry. Sad and disappointing, but I still love his music.
The big shock was when I stumbled across this:
Morrissey - Spent the Day in Bed (Official Video)
To think that TPTB want all the kids humming that to themselves is absurd. Other lyrics are explicitly libertarian in sentiment.
One aspect of the video many will find jarring is that it features a rather crude-looking transvestite. IDK why s/he's there, but I do have my own theory.
I think it's to demonstrate that there is nothing inherently prejudiced or transphobic or whatever about having conservative views or libertarian values. Everyone is free to live as they wish. What's not cool is weaponizing culture and a fascist Establishment against people using minority groups as shields and swords. Not cool at all.
