[SqueezingMySkull]

Just be thankful he didn't include Art-Hounds, truly his lyrical nadir.

Art Hounds is hilarious. You people, geez.

 

[A Man Escaped]

"songs from which Morrissey feels most lyrical self-fulfilment"

If thats his criteria, I'm surprised he didn't list "Sorrow Will Come In The End."

He was really getting things off his chest with that one. Even if arguably, it's his worst song.

 

[Seymour Glass]

Details (Dec. 1992):
Are those leather shoes you're wearing?

"Yes, and this is a leather belt."

Explain, please. Don't you feel complicit?

"I don't recall at any time asking people to stop eating dead animals or to stop wearing leather. I think if you ask people to do everything, they become so confused that they do absolutely nothing."

Add:
Although in 2006, Spin magazine reported that he had ‘gone leather-free’.

Grazia:
"Despite being a staunch supporter of animal rights, the singer was often spotted wearing leather and suede footwear, and once said of his favourite shoes, (a pair of suede moccasins that were a gift from Pete Burns) 'I find shoes difficult to be ethical about - one just can't seem to avoid leather. One is trapped, ultimately.'" (November, 2009).

Independent: Stella McCartney to team up with Morrissey for vegan shoe range
(December, 2009)

“Stella is a fan of Morrissey but those rumours of a collaboration for a shoe line are simply not true,” the update said.
(NME - December, 2009)

Et al...

All very much a contrarian, muddled history if you start digging - what's new!?
Similarly, he may enjoy suggesting lists just to provoke this type of discussion - whilst knowing things like There Is A Light.. will always be seen by the majority as worth including. Playing with people's subjectivity by distorting his own isn't beyond him perhaps?
FWD.

Imagine feeling guilty for wearing leather? Jesus, get a life.

 

[Seymour Glass]

Now My Heart Is Full - the best Morrissey song.

Definitely top 5.

 

[Seymour Glass]

I think Mozz should now post a list of
His favourite cancellations…
I know Nottingham would be in the
Top one,
Not that I want to take up his mistakes,
He knows exactly what they are

Paso Robles better make that list! He allowed us all in to buy drinks and merch, get seated, and then said it was too cold to perform. And the Quarry show cancellations were pretty awesome, seeing that he wasn't even in the country...

 

[A Man Escaped]

Imagine feeling guilty for wearing leather? Jesus, get a life.

If eating meat is murder, is wearing leather manslaughter?.

 

[A Man Escaped]

Imagine feeling guilty for wearing leather? Jesus, get a life.

Is your comment aimed at FWD or the interviewer quoted?.

Boston has to be on there too. We drove in during rush hour traffic on a tuesday night after working all day, paid $25 to park, waited in line to get in, waited in line to get drinks, had a seat, he played a few songs, bitched about various things inbetween songs, then walked off stage without any explanation and did not come back.

 

[DennisW]

Some odd choices to me, but a wonderful bit of trolling on Moz's part to wait until mid-July to throw out a "pride" post. Fantastic.

 

[Lujan369]

yes on his site BowieNet …

‘Members received an @davidbowie.com-ending email address and had exclusive access to audio recordings, music videos and chat rooms, which Bowie participated in himself. Bowie went by the moniker "Sailor" in chat. He would appear unannounced and talk, with a special guest sometimes joining in, and on the site he would upload personal photos as well as images of his paintings and some of his journals. "Sailor" is an anagram of "Isolar", after which Bowie named his 1976 and 1978 world tours.’

Good for the.iconicp David Bowie he did care about his fans, because having people who follow you for having talent is a blessing from the Universe.Unfortunate that some people live in parallel worlds and forgot how they lived in the past. The ego makes you dizzy, and annuls empathy

JOURNALISTS' TOP 5 MORRISSEY MOST FULFILLING LYRICS
1. National Front Disco
2. Bengali in Platforms
3. Asian Rut
4. This is Not your Country
5. That one about the sub-species: the Boy Racist?

 

[Barking]

No Israel?

He wrote that song because he really really fancied some guy's figs in Tel Aviv. Proof a song you write with your dic. Tionary is NEVER going to make the Top 40!
-"Yes.I can see that now.' (Morrissey, July 18th 2024)

Steven has terrible taste in his own music or he is trolling

Here he combined the two for maximum effect. Mindblowingly effective. A 2000 pound bomb in the middle of summer.

The lists .. always the lists. Moz is Morrissey's self-centered enemy. (...)Calm down, lower your ego

See, that's one list he should make but is still unable to...
-Calm down
-Lower you ego in preparation for death
-Stop paying that family member.
