Saw him supporting Take That for wife's birthday just pre-covid. Thought oh god one song I'll know and that's shite, but never had it so wrong. Really, really good. I love the smiths too and now morrisey has turned out to be a bigger c**t than I thought, this is win win.

Apart from Eric Clapton, and Bowie with his Nazi stuff, I can't remember a bigger volte face than Morrissey.

Such a shame, loved The Smiths.

Often wondered that, was he always harbouring these opinions, or did he just get warped somewhere along the way?
Do you still listen to The Smiths? I do. Not commenting on whether that is right or wrong, but Strangeways... is still a great piece of art.

I agree. It’s tinged with… annoyance I guess but the songs are still something else

It's a question how much the person should influence your enjoyment really isn't it. Pretty sure I have some people who are pretty distasteful human beings in my music collection, but I still listen to them.

Don't own any Lost Prophets, mind you!

It's all 'verse, chorus, verse' with guitars bollocks isn't it.

I blame Robert Johnson.

Thank god Delia Derbyshire came along to rescue us from that hell.
