Frankie Joyce was just on the local North West BBC news report after the 5pm main BBC News, filmed at the half marathon, including a little snippet of The Smiths from a Top Of The Pops performance

Oh god, here's yet another one - this time the singer of Chvrches. Relevant paragraph:

The song I secretly like, but tell everyone I hate
I feel like the narrative around Morrissey has caught up with my feelings about the Smiths. His lyric writing is untouchable. But I don’t want to think about him, hear about him, or know any more about him. Everything said about Morrissey comes with a pile of sadness.

Ironic that the Guardian tends to publish its own highly controversial opinions, on occasion (about gender issues or in praise of Tory politicians/policies, for example); and, tellingly, comments aren't opened whenever it does so. The same kind of self-indulgent cowardice that both perennially criticises Morrissey for his highly controversial opinions...while simultaneously & shamelessly using his name as clickbait for features people might not otherwise bother to read.
 
Even someone as stooopid and slow-to-realise as me should've really understood that Moz was not simply & solely a bookish, shy and mild type of person...ages ago. Morrissey is only disappointing if a person has made him in their own image, so to speak (i.e. 'understood' him through the lens of their own biases and desires/needs/wants). After all, Moz ditched that persona literally decades ago...
