Maybe BMG "ran out of words" (well, apart from "goodbye")?

[Guest]

Oh dear, never mind.

Morrissey: Please, please, please let me get what I want

BMG: You are a charming man and a handsome devil, but money changes everything, so we have to drop you now.

Morrissey: May I ask, how soon is now?

BMG: That joke isn't funny anymore.

Morrissey: Well I wonder, what difference does It make? I don’t own you anything!

BMG: Bigmouth strikes again. Don’t panic, you’ve got everything now.

Morrissey: Ok, I know it’s over. 😎

Morrissey on the guillotine.

Must admit after reading that was very surprised about his praise/affiliation with far right stuff, not what I expected, and can understand any record company wanting to remove themselves from that.

I do think the man has a point regarding free speech being slowly eradicated in this country unless you are left wing. I dont really rate much of his stuff after the 90s but the Smith's were a fantastic band. Morrissey always comes across as very bitter and passive aggressive in interviews. I'm sure he has enough money to survive though.

Typical right winger putting Florists out of business.

While reading. (gloating) about his removal from the label, it stated that he is still going to release his cover of the Jam's, That's Entertainment. I hope to never hear that.

Because so much of what right wingers think is free speech is actually hate speech.

If I didn't listen to someone's music because I didn't agree with their politics they'd be very little left for me

3 album deal come to an end after 3 albums?

What am I missing?

That is your opinion. Other people are allowed their opinions regardless of you deeming them to be morally right or wrong.

No, there are laws against hate speech. Anway, we're breaking forum rules here and don't want to get the thread locked (robbing our freedom of speech ).

I'm not surprised to find out he's a right whinger

Agree, keep it cool here and rather tell me how many Smiths songs I smuggled into my previous post 😉

"Everyone ultimately prefers their own race – does this make everyone racist?”

 

I love it when bigots out themselves without even realising it, what a plank.

Morrissey is his own worst enemy which is a shame and I think it was probably him who caused a lot of the friction in The Smith's. Andy Rourke is a great bass player.

[Lfalex v1.1]

Uh...

Did he not release a song called

"National Front Disco"?

Def, Andy Rourkes basslines were very melodic, and he had a great sound/tone as well.

I did wonder how he’d reached that conclusion, did he conduct a worldwide poll?

He probably feels he’s got a big enough profile to do it. After all, some churls are bigger than others...
