He's also become a bit of a nut job ~~in recent years~~ unfortunately
Edit: because he's been a shithead for longer than I realised
Not especially recent:
Around the same time as Britpop exploded, Morrissey began getting pictures taken draped in the British flag; he also began making disparaging remarks about immigration. Hell, he even wrote a song called βThe National Front Discoβ. But while Morrisseyβs views always gained column inches, as his music waned and the singerβs original fandom began to find themselves in bank manager positions, he began to find his place in the press less and less often.

So basically, Morrissey has been upfront about being a racist fuck for a very long time.
Damn that was a blind spot. I was under the impression it was only the past half a decade or so that he'd gotten that shitty
You wouldn't be alone in either not knowing or forgetting. It seems to be regularly forgotten that Eric Clapton is also a racist.
I don't think about Clapton often enough to remember he's a shithead
After the pathetic loser killed 97 people in Norway, the vast majority were children, he had this to say.
We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 [sic] dead. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonaldβs and Kentucky Fried shit every day.β So not only is he a racist cunt, he's a despicable piece of shit in other ways as well.
Fuck Morrissey. Hope he gets remembered for the person he is, not the music he made
Honestly, if I didn't think this meme was so damn funny, I wouldn't have posted anything regarding Morrissey, but I have to admit, that accurately describes his music.
What's he even trying to say?
Damn, his wiki said "anti-establishment", incredibly saddened to realize it is not the cool type of anti-establishmentarianism
Not as cool as antidiestablishmentarianism
I didn't know who he was until this post. Still getting to know the English music π©
Give The Smiths a go if you're intrigued. It's the band that he broke out of, and personally I prefer more of that compared to his solo stuff (though he does have a few bangers, but the aforementioned nut-jobbery means I don't really play much of his solo work these days)
Not bad not bad. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
The Smiths rule. Johnny Marr is actually still touring as well!
Morrissey is a right prick tho
Damn. Knew he was a primadonna shithead,but didn't know he was a racist primadonna shithead.
Back when I was young, I put The Used - On My Own on in the car and my mother said, "This guy is really overly emotional. It's like his dog just died."
I thought she didn't understand how hard it was to have a break up. Now grown up, yep, I get it. I hear that song now and I'm just embarrassed lol.
I am not human but I still need to be loved... Just like everybody else does. π©π©π©
Well time to tell my wife to watch Charmed again so I can pretend not to watch it in the background
I'd turn it on just for the opening song.
Completely aside but Diego Luna (the actor who plays Andor) always looks like :<
That's what made him great for the role, though.
the embed was having issues for me so I had to click on the image link and it is not a real text :/
I saw one with "deftones" that was edited much better, enough that I didn't question it at the time
U know
