Suspected murderer of Swedish foreign minister is a huge Morrissey fan according to Aftonbladet
posted by davidt on Friday September 19 2003, @08:00AM

 An anonymous person writes:

According to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet the suspected murderer of the Swedish foreign minister is a huge Morrissey fan. Translated from Swedish:

"By Monday night - five days after the knife assault on foreign minister Anna Lindh - the man visited the resturant KGB on Malmskillnadsgatan 45 in central Stockholm.

Every Monday night the place houses The Farm, a club who only plays songs by the British popstar Morrissey.

-He's mad about Morrissey, says a friend to the 35 year old."

The whole story can be read at here.
--- Update: 09/26 15:16 GMT: He has now been cleared of suspicion of murder (update).

      It seems a pretty pointless act, even for a Morrissey fan. Lindh was hardky a Thatcher, now was she?

                      Look, no one, especially not Aftonbladet, has said ANYTHING about listening to Morrissey leading to murder. That was hardly the point of the article. That wouldn't be a suitable claim for a swedish newspaper.

                      The real issue here was were he the murder suspect spent his time. He has worked but three days of his entire life. Still, he spends his life on fancy clubs. The Farm was presented as one of these clubs.

                      No one has connected Morrissey's lyrics to anything, so you americans can cool off a bit.

                        Jeez come on! That's not surprising news. The suspected murderer has connections to the skinhead movement - and Morrissey do have quite a few fans coming from that society. And that's the fine quality about Morrissey: his fans don't include a certain group of people only. He attracts all sorts of people - people like me, leftwings, rightwings, extremists (e.g. skinheads). I don't know much about skinheads but I do know that many people become extremists when they feel lonely and neglected. Just like many Morrissey fans. And Morrissey appeals to our feelings of loneliness.

                            this guy is a die-hard Morrissey fan involved with Nazi friends, the papers say. So maybe heīs one of those who interpret "National Front Disco" as a literal praise to Nazi ways. (on the contrary, Morrissey is totally left-wing to my knowledge)
