Comments / Notes
I'm in Grand Rapids and I saw that on the t.v. They didn't mention the name of the group and I couldn't hear the music. I don't think we need to associate a couple of hayseed psychopaths with Moz or the Smiths.

Thats ridiculous, Morrisseys music cant in any way be associated to some lunatics. Its sad that the media will try anything to taint the name of a great artist.

This is horrible, sad and sick...this crazy person
is going to try to get away with it blaming somebody else.Remember a few years ago? The same thing happened and the kid said it was because of Pear Jam's JEREMY.

A more preposterous and absurd association could not have been more foolishly misappropriated. Even if it was the case that an auto-referential suicide attempt posed an influential connection to Morrissey's proselytized fascination with morbidity, death, and suicide; it is ultimately the volition of the individual that govern those decisions and actions pertainting to that individual's welfare. Consequently, Morrissey is just as responsible for this tragedy as is Jesus, Clinton, Santa, and Marilyn Manson. That is , in no conceivable way can Morrissey or any other agent be held accountable for the motivations, and moreover actions of those who will the acts.

Look on the positive side: if, as usual, Morrissey is ignored in the American press, this whole connection of him to mass murder will go unnoticed outside the state of Michigan. This will be the first time I'm actually GLAD that the American press will be snubbing him.

Who the hell said it was Morrissey's fault? Who blamed Morrissey? I just noticed that whenever anything associated with Moz is on the news or appears in print somewhere, it gets posted on this board. Just doing my duty. If you really need something to complain about, than go ahead and complain about this post, but I am saying right now that I was not saying that Morrissey's music influenced anyone to commit murder.

No one has blamed the messenger, Lord Henry.

I listen to a lot of The Smiths/Morrissey music and Morrissey's lyrics have certainly inflated my hatred for people. Combine that with my love for Jason Vorhees films, if I was having a bad day - Who knows?

I think it's cool. Hurray for Brit-pop! Why should the metal-heads get all the credit when it comes to stuff like this?!

The single for "Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before" wasn't released in the UK due to the "mass murder" line, which was deemed far too unsuitable (ie: by the BBC) to be played on the radio, so soon after Michael Ryan had shot 17 people dead and injured 14 more in Hungerford.

I think you all better be careful before you all get killed by some Wacky Mozzy Looney for commenting so much on such a ridiculous media "tid-bit." Whats the big deal? 15 People are dead... that's big! Not what kinds music was played for background during the "clean-up efforts!"

True that is, Mario, I believe it was Morrissey himself who wrote "Hang the DJ" in disapproving the press' pushing pop music into places it shouldn't be.
