Morrissey Central "PASSPORT" (August 19, 2024)

Morrissey's very first passport from his early teens has been stolen from the personal possessions of his late mother. The passport is circulating on Facebook/X by a "Steven Pisu" / "Xavier Jones". If the passport is sold / bought, there will be criminal proceedings against anyone who knowingly buys or sells or withholds the passport. In the UK, the action is viewed as robbery, and criminal charges apply. In the U.S., Section 496 can administer four years in prison/jail.

The truth is Morrissey, Boy George and the PSBs kept their sexual preferences under wraps because they feared it would harm them to come out. Cynical careerists posing as Radical Art. Phoney baloney...

Of that generation only Tom Robinson and Jimmy Somerville retain any credibility.

Not so sure about that. It was obvious to any even casual listener that Morrissey, Boy George, and the PSBs were 'different'. None of them lied about it. There were clues in the lyrics and the 'attitude' they struck to the world. None of them sang about falling in love with a girl. That would have been cynical. But wanting to keep some privacy? What is wrong with that? It is really no one's business what they get up to in the bedroom.

Of course, that means whenever he is robbed, he should contact the ghost of Ronnie Kray instead of the police

P.S. I tried to be ironic.

What's wrong with that?

Appropriating the iconography of a subculture to provide a surface veneer of Radical Outsider Chic whilst refusing to specify allyship or membership to protect revenues us deeply cynical.

That's what's wrong with that.

Holly Johnson and Paul Rutherford if FGTH blew all the devious strategies of the closeted to smithereens.

So was George Michael appropriating the iconography of being a straight bloke in Wham! to provide a surface veneer in the in crowd chic whilst refusing to specify his real allyship or membership to protect revenues?

How did they 'appropriate the iconography of a subculture...whilst refusing to specify allyship or membership' if in their lyrics and in their attitude they made it clear they might indeed have allyship or membership of that subculture - although the idea that all gay people are part of some homogeneous monoculture is as ridiculous as the idea that all straight people are. Aren't we all just people in the end? Trying to survive and make the best of this insane asylum we call life? Identity politics, BrummieBoy, really?

Why didn't he reference his love of disco? Gay protest attendances? His make-up New Romantic era?

...hmmmnn?
