would you like morrissey if he wasnt famous

[smiffy]

if you met the guy down the pub (bar for our american friends) and he wasnt a singer/poet/changer or saver of lives, or lets face it, an entertainer (pop star), what would you think of him?

[mozsupportsrovers]

I think if i was introduced to him through a mutual friend then i'd happily talk to him and i think i'd get on quite well with him despite the age gap. If the convo got on to old t.v programs and old British film (carry on, Norman wisdom, Confession films) then i think we'd have a a lot to talk about. In general i find it quite hard to talk to people my age about these things as people my age(20) dont really know who Robin Askwith or Bernard Bresslaw are, but older people do

[Scarlet Ibis]

If he were in one of his better moods and we ended up talking about Who We Really Are Inside, then I'm certain I'd love him. From what I know of who he is, he's my kind of people.

if you were to really talk about 'who we really are' i would have to assume you had met him in the bar 16 hours earlier, devoured a lot of beer and started on the top shelf............

Probably so... Though without the fame I'm sure he'd revert back to his confessional nature. Remember how he talked and talked and talked back in the old days?

[Happy Maudlin]

He's not famous now.

[Quiffaa]

I would.

[TuQui]

If I had the opportunity to know him, then yes.

[smiffy]

He's not famous now.
i agree, but he must be famous to you, or else you would not be here. would you approach him or let him approach you, or would you do nothing?

[dailyalice]

I'd think he was cute and I'd be drawn by his shyness, but I'd be too shy to strike up a conversation. I'd just sit and stare at him, then leave sad because he didn't talk to me.

would you be more dissapointed because he didnt speak to you or because dare not speak to him?

[wemissumoz]

He's not really the type of person I would normally gravitate to. That's why as a singer he draws me in. It's the weirdness. Back in the Smiths days, when he was openly avoiding sex and all that. It's his oddness that makes him interesting. But as just a random bloke in a bar, I'd keep my distnace.

[chelsey]

I might be a little creeped out just because he's 50 and I'm 23, and it might be a little weird if he was just some random 50 year old approaching me in a bar/pub.

[Sharron Needles]

I'd like him.

[JoanOfArc]

Yes!He is gorgeous and very intelligent and charismatic.

[Jukebox Jury]

I think the question should be ''would you give Morrissey the time of day if he wasn't famous''.
It cracks me up when reading posts on here when people describe Morrissey as gorgeous.
Morrissey has never been gorgeous, he has always looked the geek, the awkward (I know that is spelt wrong) kid at the back of the class that everyone took the piss out of. The bloke at work that you didn't want to invite to your leaving / birthday party.
If only people could be more honest.....

Edit: Actually..... looking back on early solo pictures, there was a period of time when (he must have been advised) he was deemed as ''attractive'', but certainly not since the mid 90's. And that is not a criticism, I mean, the bloke is 50 now. Obviously, myself being almost 47 am an exception to that rule, but that's not Morrissey's fault, is it:thumb:

If that is your interpretation then that is your lookout.

What I am saying is, there is a bloke sat on his own in the corner of the pub.... he looks a right geek. Would you go up and talk to him?
The chances are you would avoid him at all costs.
Yet people say ''oh yes, i think I would''
The bloke is 50 and we have people here in their 20's (male and female) saying that they would approach him. It's just not (to me) realistic.

Everyday I get the bus to work. people getting on the bus spend the entire journey trying not to sit next to anyone or strike up a converstaion with anyone. Yet people here would strike up a conversation with Morrissey if he wasn't famous or they didn't know him.
Stranger danger alert.

He doesn't look like a geek at all. You've said that people need to "be more honest" about his looks. Morrissey is very handsome to me. HONEST. And it's not just me. You're opinion seems to be the strange one, to be honest. Even friends of mine who aren't interested in his music have to confess that he's very attractive. "Hot" is the word most often used.

So, if that's not what you intended to say then why the bit about people needing to be more honest? It looks for all the world like you're saying that your opinion is the only honest one because to you he looks like a geek.

Hahaha. This is funny, really. He's no geek. He's very cool looking. TO ME. ... Honest.

Oh, and that stranger danger thing? That's not how it goes in America. The English seem much more likely to keep to themselves in public.

[Corrissey]

I'm not sure how to answer this. Depending on what year it was, I'd admire his quiff, jawline and sideburns... and be told, "It's not nice to stare." :o:D

OK. When was the last time you went to a pub / bar?
I have no idea how old you are, but the chances are there would be someone sat on their own at the bar in their 40's / 50's.
Did you strike up a conversation with him?
If not, why not? That bloke could have been Morrissey had he not been famous.

As I said, (or tried to say) I can understand Morrissey aged 50 (famous) being attractive to a 23 year old obsessive fan.
But Morrissey aged 50 (not famous) would have very little attraction to the same individual.

I love how easy a thread can dissolve into shit storm, esp when it's SI is in it declaring her love for Moz -which is nothing new, but it leaves her vulnerable. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Morrissey is absolutely gorgeous & very attractive, even since the 90's. I admit that he did have the 'geek' thing going on (which was even attractive) but I think there is whole host of evidence that he is good looking - why would he put his face on so many record covers?
Also, I don't think to compare him to Jarvis is spot on - Morrissey has a more 'classically handsome' look than Jarv.

[dailyalice]

When I was 13 and before I heard ever heard any Smiths music, I had a picture of Morrissey on my bedroom wall (not that far from Billy Idol ;) ). He's not everyone's type, but I found him quite attractive based on looks alone. I find the geeky/nerdy thing very attractive and look for it in everyday people too. If you're sitting in a bar doing calculus homework, I'm much more likely to speak to you than if you're drunkenly laughing with your mates.

[hand in glove]

I think if I'd met Morrissey in 1989 in a Pub instead of spinning Viva Hate on my turn table, we would have been great friends, instantly, and our friendship would still be going strong today. That's how it goes when you meet people you've got a lot in common with...

If I went to a pub tonight and met him at age 50, and being that I'm 39, I'd find him very attractive and would probably start up a conversation about art or music - because he looks like the type of person you can talk to about those topics. I don't know how he'd feel about me, but I'd really like him (just saying this based on what I know of Morrissey, of course). Morrissey just has an air about him. There's something drawing you to him all the time. I can understand why someone in their 20's would be attracted to him.

And, I'm being honest - whether it's 1983 or 2010 - Morrissey is simply one of the most handsome men (if not the most handsome man) I've ever seen in my life.

Hi Dave!

What I posted was based on my knowledge of Morrissey as I've come to know him through interviews and song lyrics over the past 21 years. I've never been one to "stalk" :blushing:. I'm certain we don't know Morrissey - I don't think even his close friends really "know" him. I guess it's just all based on what's in ones mind and how one relates to Morrissey, per se.

can't think of any reason why I would be talking to a random 50 year old man at the pub. but if I would, don't think I would like him (I believe he's not an easy person to deal with, especially at the first meeting). on the other hand, and I'm sure of that, he wouldn't like me. :rolleyes:

[helen661]

I would like to think I'd like him, Not sure I would approach him down the pub though, having said that, if he was across the bar from me and our eyes met, I would give him a saucy sexy seductive look, and hope I'd get one back in return :lbf:

Yeah he's gorgeous, and I'd definitely 'Do Him'.... 50 or not :horny:

[musicalcat]

I don't think I'd go and talk to him. Because I never talk to strangers.
But then again, I wouldn't dare to go up and talk to him now either. I'm too shy.
I think I could find him attractive. I like older men (I'm 36). He's not the only older man I find attractive. The geek thing is not a problem, I'm not the woman who lookas at the kind of men other women looks at anyway. Also, I'm a geek myself.
As it is now I spend a lot of time with older people. Even over 60 and up 70. Older people are more calm, more mature and likes the kind of things I like doing. Often I find I have more in common with older people than people in my age. Also, people in my age might have smaller children. Older people often teenagers that don't spend time with their parents, or they have moved out.

''He say's he wants to befriend me,
Which means he can't possibly know me''.

I admire you optimism and I really do believe you believe your quote above. But think about it - how many 'friends' has Morrissey 'kept' since the days of The Smiths?
His closest friends are those who he met pre Smiths - ironically, those he met before he was famous. What makes you so convinced that you would have the vital ingredient that would make Morrissey have you as an instant best friend that would continue for 20 years? I'm not saying you don't have that vital ingredient, I'm asking what it is that you think you have.
And Morrissey's very close circle of friends do not meet him everyday, even in that friendship, there is a great distance (and I don't mean miles!)

What makes you so convinced that you would have the vital ingredient that would make Morrissey have you as an instant best friend that would continue for 20 years? I'm not saying you don't have that vital ingredient, I'm asking what it is that you think you have.
And Morrissey's very close circle of friends do not meet him everyday, even in that friendship, there is a great distance (and I don't mean miles!)

I wouldn't approach him in a bar/pub if he wasn't famous, but only because my shyness always gets the better of me and I usually let other people initiate interaction. But I'd definitely notice him- he has a very striking and handsome face, to say the least :D- and if we ended up talking I think we'd get on reasonably well and I'd probably find him likable and interesting. From what he's said about his personality outside of performance and so on he sounds quite similar to me, but I don't know whether that would be a help or a hindrance in becoming acquainted with him if he was just some random guy.

*shrug* It's all hypothetical anyway, but it's interesting to think about.

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

I cannot imagine him not being famous unless he was somehow untalented
and if he was that, would he really be Morrissey?
I think not :o

Okay, you were just disagreeing, but he is 'contrary'. "Really?! Really?!" :mock: :drama:

Why is this still going on, and in General Discussion, where people might want to try a little harder to stay on topic?

Back on topic, I think it's very unlikely that anyone here 'likes' Morrissey now, since no one here probably knows him. Stalking doesn't count.

Dave, if you truly want me to ignore you and not address you, as you say you want, then you really shouldn't jump into the middle of this and attack my wife. I'm supposed to ignore you while you do that? Would you do that if you were in my situation? Apparently not, since you wonder why this argument is still going on, and then you perpetuate it. (Actually, maybe I understand how you feel, because I too want this argument to die, but also feel I must explain why your erroneous attacks on my wife are wrong.)

I wouldn't be posting on here, I'd be standing back and letting this die, were it not for your post. I'll go back to ignoring you if you would please kindly step back and leave the both of us the f alone, just like you've "asked" me to do. Note that I asked you a whole lot more nicely than you "asked" me.

Scarlet stated her opinion. That's called disagreeing. JJ didn't just post his opinion, he said people with opposite opinions "cracks him up" and "If only people could be more honest." Saying that people's opinions are not honest and are comical... That's contrary and a personal attack, it's rude, and no one should be surprised that someone took offense at this needlessly condescending attitude.

So there's no love of drama from Scarlet or me. Dave, you created 19 of your last 25 threads (75%) in the Pigsty. Why is that, Dave? Do you enjoy the drama in the Pigsty, and the freedom to blow your top and toss expletives at people?

Jukebox Jury (the person you've chosen to defend here) is the one who attacked Kewpie for revealing your wherebouts, creating a new thread and multiple posts to do so. But you yelled at me instead, thinking wrongly I was involved. I guess you wanted to yell at JJ, but felt you couldn't for some reason, so instead you told *me* to fsck off. You said it was none of my business for me to defend you, but you seem to be jumping in the middle here defending him.

You think you know some of us here well enough to know that we're stalkers, that we're boring and stupid (juvenile kindergartgen names I've never called you), that we argue over who knows Morrissey best (I'd like to see you show where we do that). But you know us from our posts about as well as we know Morrissey from his interviews. You can't have it both ways. You can't claim to know and dislike us from our posts here, while also claiming it's ridiculous for anyone to make a guess as to whether or not Morrissey has some common interests with us from reading his interviews.

We're not saying we know him intimately (well, except maybe his soulmate CG says that, though you defend her claim to intimate Moz insight for some reason). We're saying we know him well enough to make the same character judgments you feel competent to make of us, with the same amount of information.

Even though you say I'm an idiot :lbf:, I think I did a pretty fair job of explaining our position. Now please, let me know if you plan to leave the two of us alone, or if you choose for the drama to continue between us.

Your language is very heavy, talking of ''personal attacks'' etc.
I may have challenged their point of view (sorry, is this not a discussion board?:confused:) or challenged their manner in responding to other people, but 'attacking' is a bit dramatic (in my opinion, of course - your opinion may differ and you have the right to differ)
I have in no way suggested ''everyone who disagrees with me is being dishonest''.
I was merely asking *some* posters on here to be a bit more honest ''with themselves'' and remove the blinkers in their blind devotion to Morrissey and all things connected.
I mean, one poster in this thread insists that Morrissey is the most handsmome man she has ever seen in her life - which I find is just laughable. Yes she has the right to say and believe that, as I have the right to find the comment laughable.
If she had never heard of Morrissey before and was sat opposite him on a bus, would that poster say exactly the same thing? I doubt it very much. I wouldn't think she would give him even a second glance.
That is where I would like a bit more honesty, rather than the usual blind loyalty to the cause which is usually spouted out from the keyboards of some posters.

Jukebox Jury

[jamescagney]

Thanks, JJ, that was a good post. I agree with you that differing opinions are fine and are everyone's right. Perhaps I meant "personal attacks" in the sense of being "ad hominem," a logical fallacy of criticizing not an opinion but the person speaking it.

It's true you didn't say that 100% of people who disagree with you are dishonest. I do think your earlier post appeared to have a subtle insinuation and I'm not surprised if someone took offense or felt their beliefs were being belittled dismissively.

I know Scarlet and I do not blindly love everything Morrissey does. Of course there are music, photographs, statements, actions, beliefs etc. from Morrissey that we don't care for personally. We'd just rather focus on the positive and aren't ones to want to attack Morrissey on the open Internet.

[troubleluvsme]

You know JJ, I'm going to be honest with myself.

If Morrissey was even less famous than he is now and I saw him at a bar, I still probably wouldn't stand a chance with him. :(

My boyfriend probably would, though. :lbf:

*Sigh* I don't think that Morrissey can do no wrong. He is human. I'm not stupid. I never said I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, either - I think he would be a very good, loyal, friend - but that's all I could ask for from anyone. Having said that, however, it is imperative that I spend the rest of my life in the company of his music. And just to add: I do see his point of view on most things, but that's not to say I agree with everything.

The direction of the wind and the speed of the train are irrelevant. Whether he's falling prone or feet first may be relevant as it could change the air resistance, but over a presumably short distance it's probably insignificant. We will need to know at what angle Mike was throwing him from the train so we can determine initial downward speed.

I ::think:: I would like him, but all I know of him is what he's chosen to show whilst in the public eye. Likely there are other sides of him only people who know him "in real life" see, and those may not be sides that would gel with my personality. Perhaps if he never were famous, he might have turned out differently. Either way, I would like to think he and I could be friends but one will never know. There is a decent age gap between us so as others have mentioned, I don't think I would strike up a friendship with a guy 20 years older than me if he were not who he is today. One never knows.
