I'd like to take from swa(y)'s semi-logic of proving someone is a chronic moron by making every other post of this thread an attempt of doing so with the arguing skills of a socially deficient 11-year-old, but resulting in showing myself up by managing to bear all my intellectual flaws within around just 15 posts.

But I won't. I'm not a prickzoid.

i really like the self-titled Smiths...and I used to like morrissey as a person...until he had sex...he was def. cooler as a celibate celebrity...now he's just like every other aging musician/celeb/pseudo-activist/fat-bastard....bleh

Morrissey's like a friend you hold casually and enjoy getting along with until he says one thing that triggers inside you an embarassing "Oh God, why? No... shut up!" notion. He's a great guy at times but don't associate him with "his type".

You can believe what you like, I was there. There were only two people who were paid. Both were paid 18 months after the tour finished by Jed Weizman of Sanctuary Records after they signed Morrissey

The tour itself was organised by Morrissey and a tour manager from the USA

Morrissey picked up £74,000 in the form of three cash deposits at the Brixton academy show from the promoters rep

That was money that should have gone on wages

Morrissey on the tour was also being chased by two process servers

One with a court order demanding £500,000 awarded to Mike Joyce, the other an order for £800,000 from the Inland Revenue

You might also want to ask yourself why he liquidated his assets in the USA and cannot reside in the UK

The guy is a real piece of work

Prickzoid.

Morrissey is a big butthole

er, sorry, i mean he likes things in his big butthole

thats...why...i...love...him

and...yup,///the..Moz..does..rule!

Morrissey is a legend, fur coats are sick. simply as.

A shame like all legends he isnt dead then

the smiths were great. with the smiths, you have an awesome rhythm section, one of the best guitar players EVER (who still probably hasn't been matched in the arpeggios department).. i mean, this dude was nuts.. have you heard this charming man (the self-titled version)? that was made of 11 different guitar tracks, some of them in different tunings and with different effects, and one separate guitar track that was johnny marr dropping knives on the strings!

morrissey was not a very good singer, but anyone that has tried to rip him off sounds embarassing, so therefor he must actually be a brilliant singer.. he sang all these embarassing lyrics but made them convincing.. truely a good dude. love him. the smiths rocked. louder than bombs is a great album. just great.

I like Madonna...

Oh wait we're just talking about Morrissey.

It has been a sad demise, embrrassing and almost painful to watch.
