Honest, authentic, intelligent, unique, can't and won't be bought, controlled or silenced, deeply caring and compassionate, the absolute best lyricist and performer, who can comfort you with his songs even when and because they scream hard truths instead of churning out boring, same old mind numbing garbage that artists get away with. There is great comfort in knowing he truly understands the things in life we all have to endure. A realist with the ability to tell it like it is, at times cutting and raw and at times, poetically and at times, with his quirky and incredibly endearing humour. An articulate, handsome, reserved but powerful gentleman. Mozza, if you're reading this....I just love you 😊❤️

When Morrissey wore that UKIP pin supporting a far-right-wing and fascist political party on late night TV, on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, I felt betrayed. I thought Morrissey was an ethical person until that point. But Morrissey chose to side with the "England for the English" crowd. His 1990s song, "The National Front Disco", suddenly took on a whole new meaning. Being racist, or even being insensitive to other ethnicities, is bad enough. But, as a brown person (especially in the summertime when my skin tone darkens several shades darker), as a brown person, I can tell you that the fascist tendencies are far more problematic than merely being a bigot or a racist. And Morrissey, next to Robert Smith and The Cure, were easily in my top five all-time favorite musical icons. I've seen Morrissey in concert so many times, hung out with opening band Sack at a poolhall after a Morrissey show in Fresno. They were cool, working class blokes. My cousin even invited them out to Denny's afterwards. So, I've been a huge supporter of Morrissey when people hated him for being a 'pompous ass' or whatever. But after the UKIP fascist propaganda on The Jimmy Fallon Show, I stopped listening to all of his music. After that, the only logical response is to boycott all Morrissey music, concerts, music streaming, all of it. We can't support our abusers. And rightists, fascists, anti-immigrant elitists are all abusers. All of the previous warnings, people challenging his character flaws, all the red flags about Morrissey took on a whole new meaning, such as the 1992 Finsbury Park incident with the Union Jack flag and Morrissey featuring two female skinheads as a backdrop. How about the skinhead types featured in the "Sunny" video. Even the ambiguous lyrics of "The National Front Disco" and "Bengali in Platforms", now, didn't seem so ambiguous. I finally had to admit that Morrissey is a white supremacist fascist, who cares more about some phony British nostalgia, which he is selling to uncritical fans, than he cares about human beings, than he cares about the UK providing shelter to immigrants seeking refuge from the economic and political disasters left behind by British and western colonialism and neocolonialism. Morrissey made some comment about England no longer sounding like England anymore because of all of the foreigners or whatever... Artists and poets and musicians, in my humble opinion, are supposed to represent the best of humanity. That's why I loved Morrissey and his lyrics and music. I thought he was brilliant, which includes being humane. But the Trump-like notion of MUGA, making UK great again, or MUWA, making UK white again, is lame... Like Perry Farrell said at Woodstock '94: 'We gotta mix it up! That's how we all love each other.' Unfazed by some boos, he replied: 'Ah! All you purists, you're gonna die off anyway.' Indeed. But some people seem determined to impose segregation and anti-miscegenation laws and fascist authoritarianism because, at the end of the day, that's probably the only way to preserve recessive genetic traits and colonial culture. So, why are you here? (I can hear uncritical Morrissey fans asking...) So, I'm here to give Morrissey a chance to apologize for being a fascist UKIP partisan. I'm here to see if Morrissey will renounce fascism, or if he is still a narcissistic abuser, who gaslights his fawning, uncritical fans. But I scrolled through some comments first. Somebody said 'it's just the same old talk points.' So, I'm not expecting much personal growth from Morrissey. But I'm hoping for some sign of humanity. Damn, Morrissey, too many sycophants have corrupted you. You need critical fans and critical journalists to be honest with you. Okay, Morrissey, let's listen to what you have to say... Lumpen.org

What he speaks is the truth. I never hear Morrissey on the radio and if I do it's normally the Smiths, and I regard that as different. Morrissey is such a big name, yet gets such little traction. His shows sell out yet you never hear him on the news. He inspires me to be an artist, and if I were to be, I'd never sell my soul to the industry.
