    crazydayandnights: Morrissey (Blind Items Revealed - July 3, 2020)

    I read CDAN from time to time but always feel a bit disgusted afterward. Many of the blind items are clearly backwards-engineered from tabloid headlines and photos, and the substance and tone of recent items increasingly seem contrived to appeal to far-right conspiracy wackos, who are often...

    Moz shows off his For Britain badge last night

    Not surprising at this point but disappointing nonetheless. Ugh.

    Jacqueline Morrissey statement re: England Is Mine (via SER) - "OFFENSIVE misrepresentation"

    By that logic KFC is fine dining!

    America would be nothing without Mexico: an interview with Morrissey - Sopitas.com (Spanish)

    You can't be serious, he has been known as witty for over 30 years now! Being quick as a speaker is something else, and I don't think it diminishes an otherwise talented person if they're not. Some of my favorite writers haven't been. Nabokov, who spoke 3 languages and wrote brilliantly, would...

    Curious discrepancies between the Penguin UK/Putnam US editions of Autobiography

    For what it's worth, being American, I agree with that. I very much doubt anyone at Penguin has plans to sell it by the carton in, say, Mississippi. I can't agree with any of this. "Gay" is a construct. There were people having same-sex relationships long, long, long before anyone identified...

    Marketing director at Melville House sends open letter to Morrissey

    Zzzzzzzzz. That looks like it was written in 5 minutes, and the lyric references are the most obvious ones imagineable. "I was a vegetarian" is a wee bit eyebrow-raising. Overall unimpressive.

    "This Charming Charlie" - comics by Lauren LoPrete combining Peanuts with Smiths lyrics

    Yes, exactly!

    "This Charming Charlie" - comics by Lauren LoPrete combining Peanuts with Smiths lyrics

    I saw this and it's clever and cute, but I'm appalled by the ignorantly misunderstood lyrics. "My only weakness is a list of crimes" doesn't even make sense. "My only weakness is a listed crime" puts the rest of the song in context, and provides a little history lesson about sexuality in England.

    Mel Gibson, Morrissey and Tom Jones pic in Los Angeles

    Re: Mel Gibson, Morrissey, Tom Jones Did you read your own link? The very next sentence is: "A person who follows the philosophies of conservatism is referred to as a traditionalist or conservative." Irrelevant nit-picking anyhow. In my experience, ultra-conservative people do indeed tend...

    Mel Gibson, Morrissey and Tom Jones pic in Los Angeles

    Truly bizarre logic -- pointing out that he happily cozied up to a loathsome person is not the same thing at all as "living and dying by Morrissey's decisions."

    Mel Gibson, Morrissey and Tom Jones pic in Los Angeles

    Re: Mel Gibson, Morrissey, Tom Jones I meant small-c because I meant to refer to more than just a political party; I meant that the guy's entire world-view seems to be that tradition for tradition's sake is valuable, even the profoundly ugly and hateful parts. I don't see what "allowed" has...

    Mel Gibson, Morrissey and Tom Jones pic in Los Angeles

    I'm disappointed he smiled and put his arm around Mel Gibson when the man's such a massive pig. Ultra-conservative, sexist, racist, homophobic, the list goes on and on. He beat his girlfriend, refers to black people as "n------," and rants about Jews. For people who don't know about him, read...

    Morrissey in the media - autobiography inquiry, NY spotting, Fandom in the 40's

    I know that spot on 1st Ave, I lived around the corner from there for many years. I bet he was shopping at Kim's Records. http://www.mondokims.com/

    Brooklyn, NY - Brooklyn Academy of Music (Jan. 11, 2013) post-show

    That hasn't been my experience at all. I'm American and have lived in NYC since the 90s and I've heard loads of vaguely unlikely-looking people (office-y types, etc.) mention him in unlikely moments. Old people, young people, all kinds of people. But I suppose it depends on the people you know...

    Army Navy's Justin Kennedy talks about his Morrissey encounter as a wardrobe stylist

    Surely the author meant glean instead of gleam. How strange to use a word in print without bothering to grasp its meaning.

    "Morrissey by DS" - line of shoes by Deux Souliers

    Actually I like these. They look a lot like a pair of Rachel Comey boots I have, but I admit (a) those are leather, I'd love to have similar ones that aren't, and (b) I'm a woman. Not that I think these are overly womanly shoes. I do think a heel looks silly on a tiny little short man like Bowie...

    Tour of Refusal Intro

    Re: Intro... I am guessing that by placing "song" in quotes you don't think much of The Fall . . . I am a recent fan of theirs/of Mark E Smith and will be very interested to see which song it is. Semi-related: Last time I saw Rufus Wainwright, Sheila Take a Bow was in his pre-show music, and...

    Nyc.

    Sorry, it is Angelica Kitchen, no k. But there is a movie theater called the Angelika Film Center and that might be worth a visit too. Quite sure I've got the spelling correct on that one!
