I love the guy. I know more folk can't be arsed with him than like the guy, but I just had to put out there...he's a fookin' legend in my book.

I know, I'm on the wrong forum!

[paulbass]

he has a top bassist!

...and this is exactly why I (normally) never like to have my phone handy when I am p*ssed and watching music DVD's

FWIW, my brother-in-law adores Him, probably praying before His statue every morning and every evening - - bareknee-edly so.

Morrisey is a genius. His music has mostly been crap since he left The Smiths ( would have been great to see them carry on without him with Jimmy Somerville as the new singer) , but he knows a thing or two about generating publicity. Like this whole vegetarian "all I eat is toast" facade. If his career ever starts petering out all he needs to do is announce to the world that he is eating meat again and finding it delicious and he will get such a tidal wave of exposure that money could never buy.

Great lyricist, surely one of England's finest.

[Skybone]

Heaven knows, he's still miserable...

[rubis]

Just finished reading his book, top bloke who as far as I can see doesn't take himself as seriously as some would like to think
I'd like to see him go into politics, that would be entertaining!

Whatever else happens, he was in The Smiths. The most vocal critics of Morrissey didn't like The Smiths, and those people can't be trusted.

[Count Bassy]

How Morrissey has achieved the standing he appears to have completely baffles me. There are far better song writers and singers from that era, and some of them aren't even aren't jumped up twats.

[Bassman Sam]

I loved the sound of the Smiths......until Morrissey started singing.

Don't worry,pop stars are no longer required to have opinions on anything more complex than the X factor voting process,so no more "jumped up twats".

[JellyKnees]

I love the Smiths but Morrissey is definitely a bit up himself....

Another opportunity to post a link to a classic bit of viz...

Smiths were great but Morrisey is a grade A tool.

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

He was good in men behaving badly

[CamdenRob]

His music never did anything for me...

As a person I don't share others vociferous hatred... Can't say he's really made the slightest impression on my life, I've always just regarded him as a bit of a plonker...
