    Message from Morrissey re:Johnny vs. Dave Cameron

    "the collective spirit of the British people"? If I'm not mistaken, I thought that recent (quite, there's the MORI polls) polls showed that support for the monarchy was still at about 70%...

    Johnny Marr vs David Cameron

    Ok if that makes you feel more comfortable, but that doesn't necessarily makes the surgeon perform better. The "relatives first" evolutionist precept seems to be based on the observation that people tend to want to preserve/defend their genetic pool. A shared interest is miles away from that...

    Johnny Marr vs David Cameron

    While I don't agree that Johnny Marr (or anyone from the band) would get to decide who is a fan and who isn't, I can see where he's coming from. What's the purpose of us knowing that David Cameron (or anyone in his profession) likes The Smiths? What's the purpose of politicians trying to...

    Morrissey's message of (non)violence

    Personally, I'd prefer to live in a society that knows how to be violent when it is really required, and practices it with restraint and compassion. I used to work in a hospital that didn't want to employ security staff - physical assaults by drunk patients and drug addicts were almost a...

    Morrissey's message of (non)violence

    Well, no doubt. But then, I don't think it's easy. And I don't want to dance around the problem or ignore it (some people used (?) to say that in order to solve the violence in our societies you just had to read another newspaper...), yet a utopian construction where there is no violence at all...

    Advise for Moz quotes-tattos

    you could also opt for "There is a light that never goes out" (which I would personally love) - but it takes up quite a lot of arm.

    Morrissey's message of (non)violence

    Well, I'm a little old lady who narrowly escaped a bus attack, but I guess the driver thought something must have gone wrong... I find there's a whole lot of violence in "one dead butcher isn't such a great loss" (or the cheers about the death of this turkey tycoon who shan't be named), and...

    Morrissey's message of (non)violence

    Does compassion have to triumph over violence? Compassion is simply compassion - it can go hand in hand with violence. And it probably should.

    Advise for Moz quotes-tattos

    "At last! At Last! At last!" Or just simply "la de da" - it's at least as good as any Bono lyric ;-)

    Stand-Up Comedy about Moz

    Well I positively liked that Robin Ince performance. Thanks.

    the view of morrissey in the eyes of a layman

    why is it interesting? At best it informs us about the degree of intellectual/cultural development of that particular layperson.

    Pasolini is me

    It wouldn't be surprising if Pasolini/Visconti appeal to Morrissey in more ways than one. In YHKM though, the references are all cinematographic (Accattone, Magnani) and both PPP and Luchino Visconti were film directors - among other things. It's not certain that "Piazza Cavour"...

    Morrissey! There'll be surely someone who'd come to rescue him.

    New Morrissey statement, and comment from Love Music Hate Racism

    I'm referring to what The Guardian quoted as his statement: "You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies" It might be interesting to try to establish the reference point for "subspecies", i.e. the "superspecies". There could be a few options. Let's call the superspecies...

    Suggest a title of Morrissey's autobiography

    I'd try the wilde connection: "and thus we rust life's iron chain"

    The backlash about China continues

    Well - fair points and all, the statement Morrissey made during the interview can be viewed from various angles. He didn't shout it out under torture (I hope), he's keen on being in control (always a good thing), so one can be pretty sure that he knew what he said when he said it. Let's make no...

    Smiths & Morrissey in The Guardian

    For those who survived those years, there's a bit about The Smiths in The Guardian's article on the 80s. By Toby Litt. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/jul/29/80s-culture-a-team-karate-kid
