As a fan of The Smiths I feel it is my duty to tell Morrissey to shut the f-ck up, I am sick of hearing his hideous racist rantings and the latest one is utterly despicable as well. He is a washed-up talentless has-been who really should f_ck off.
Madam Miaow has written an excellent post on the subject. Also, I think Claude (see the comments box as well) makes a great point about about condemning animal cruelty without resorting to sweeping racist statements. I mean, what about battery farming in the West?
I adored The Smiths/Morrissey as they reflected my own feelings of alienation, the lyrics were truthful yet poignant they were also an antidote against mainstream pap music.
But by the late 1980s Morrissey started to spew forth racism from immigration to some idealistic racist notion of England. His music reflected that racism. I remember people telling me about seeing Morrissey at Finsbury Park in 1992 wrapping himself in the union flag. My stomach turned at that description.
I am a vegetarian and have been one for many years. Morrissey really gives vegetarians a bad name. It feels like his music is sullying my DVD collection.
Hateful of Hollow? Hatful of Hateful?
Shame on you Morrissey!
