MESSAGES FROM MORRISSEY on MORRISSEY CENTRAL

[Morrissey-so-old.com]

never really cared for irish blood english heart, i always thought he should have kicked off his 2004 comeback single with first of the gang. Not that it’s a bad song it just didn’t feel like an A-side it felt like it was stuck somewhere inbetween an A and a B side.

 

[Compadre]

Interesting you say that because I've never heard this song before, but I did read the lyrics yesterday. They were very poetic.

"If such things weren't meant to be
Then they would never come to me" from Smiler - I love those lines.

If you really want to be moved, check out "Smiler with a Knife" Zagreb 2014 live on you tube. wow.

 

[Redacted]

Am I the only one who thinks that he puts some of these things on Central just to read Solo for our reactions; in a way.. connecting with us? I can't help but wonder. I sometimes think he is among us here on this site, also making posts, perhaps just as an anonymous.

There have been times I have seen a post, rarely tho, and wondered if it was him

 

[SeniorLife]

Now My Heart Is Full - the best Morrissey song.

Desert island, I get 5 Morrissey post-Smiths songs, its on there...

 

[Stanley Knife]

No Bonfire? Friday Mourning? Never played Symphonies? Still, it's nice to be reminded how much of a contribution he's made to art. The tragedy is most people will never know.

The Never-Played Symphonies is on there towards the end.

I think it is probably more to do with his previous Misserrey Central post were he promoted meat lovers, Booths. He's probably a bit embarrassed and has used this as a distraction.

I think you flatter him with more self-awareness than he'll ever possess. This is a person who complains about people eating meat while wearing leather shoes.

 

[Redacted]

I really have my doubts about whether Morrissey is vegan or not.

I will this morning!

Surely they're vegan leather, aka plastic.

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

I think they are now, but they weren’t always. Vaguely remember something about it a few years ago, and he made a point about now only wearing fake leather. Might have been around the time of the ‘butter & cheese on the rider’ furore.

Yes, I do recall him saying in the Johnathan Ross interview (I think.. was it the Larry King one?..) that he wasn't always vegan, he was vegetarian first.

 

[Stephan]

Why do people think they can judge Morrissey´s choice? He wrote the songs, what did you do you? Well you just sit there.

 

[Famous when dead]

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.

One person's muddlement is another's rank hypocrisy.

 

[Innes]

All the young people must fall in love
Sounds like he’s hearing the music for the first time and making it up as he goes along
But good for him, making a list, interesting to read, odd, but better than silence.

Maybe the 2 unreleased albums could be made into one and things like notre dame and I live in oblivion quietly forgotten?

 

[SqueezingMySkull]

The self obsession is hitting dizzy new heights.
Highly medicated/intoxicated if he thinks STDIB is lyrically superior to Suedehead, or just about every Smiths song. Doesn't bode well for anything unreleased.

He didn't say these lyrics were "superior." He said he finds them self-fulfilling.

 

[SqueezingMySkull]

This post is further proof that he's losing it mentally. Not to mention how smug the whole thing feels. Really effing stupid of him.

As opposed to your post right here. A showcase of sanity. Morrissey wrote a list of songs he finds self-fulfillment is. Who is anyone to argue? It's his own feelings.
