Morrissey Central "EDNA O'BRIEN, RIP" (July 31, 2024)

"Suddenly death is happening everywhere and so much faster than ever before. The rest of us are unable to do anything but survive. Thank you, Edna O'Brien. You gave me the sudden urge to write something down. You took the lead. You knew it had to be said."

Didn't know she was such a fan of Mike!

Mike Joyce and James Joyce in the same sentence - there's a first time for everything.

Moz should read The Three Body Problem trilogy and realise that humans are nowhere near as important as we think we are. He could read it and end up doing an epic sci-fi fuelled album about the ethics of granting AI 'self-consciousness'.

Tracklist to 'Circuitbreaker of the Tormented':

1. Now I am an is
2. No blood, electronic heart
3. First of the gang to live
4. Half a machine
5. A rush and a push and the conveyer belt we stand on is ours
6. Now my CPU is full
7. Sister I'm a program
8. Everyday is like everyday
9. Hold on to your electric friends
10. My loveless life
11. Hell is a place on earth for me and my friends
12. The loop

This is a bit of an odd thing to write, Steven Morrissey- that's what it says on your fcukin passport mate, so pipe down, son...anyways...





...your Art is suffused with supposed intimations of mortality so my brain is a bit banjaxed by this curious eulogy-elegy, whatever the word is...



"Suddenly death is happening everywhere and so much faster than ever before. The rest of us are unable to do anything but survive."



You've just noticed impermanence, transience and entropy?...hmmmn...makes me suspect hard that your lyrics about DEATH, SUICIDE and the rest of your morbid shtick was/is just a crafty act.



Your ability to survive is enhanced by vast wealth. So is mine. It behoves folk like us to acknowledge our Privilege and not purport to be in the same existential circumstances as someone on King's Road today struggling to access the collapsing NHS.



You get me? Good. Sorted...as you were, Morrissey... will the real Morrissey please stand up?...please stand up?...shady ...very shady, mt8...



...bye...bye-bye...bye...
