Fair point, I suppose, but if that's the case, he should reconsider doing that as it makes him look like an idiot.
Yes, that is an admirable thing. I believe he has a good heart, and I can completely identify with this.
We are always our own worst critics, and this is an example of MM being pure and honest publicly about his work, yet he should also keep in mind that there are quite a few of his biggest fans who enjoy
Born Villain and think it's perhaps his best work. Much like some Morrissey fans absolutely love
Kill Uncle, though, if I recall correctly, Morrissey isn't terribly fond of it. When asked if he would say why, he wouldn't elaborate and said (along these lines), "Well, someone may actually like it." Meaning, he would rather keep quiet than insult those who held it in high standards. Which, in itself, is very honest and polite, but at the same time, quite revealing.
Using the term "gay" to reference anything is the sort of thing that I hate and have no tolerance for at all. AT ALL. Idiocy at it's finest.
I like what he said in the interview that people should have listened to them instead of ignoring them. But then, 98% of people who are like that are usually blowing hot air and remain faceless. No one really thought those boys were capable of doing what transpired. Sadly, it takes a massive tragedy to make people aware there's a problem.
Sorry, I didn't follow your "disposable teens with its Beatles references" comment. What did he say?
Well, PIL isn't as well known as MM to today's youth, so it's good that he can reach people through his work. I don't necessarily think pissing people off is the best way to go about it, but whatever works
Great choices, by the way. Love both PIL and TJAMC.
