It didn't take a rocket scientist to work out that there was a more sympathetic approach to La Moz from the television, radio and press here in the UK as well as the almost universal name-checking he has received from every "hot" band in the world.
All the good, good people here agreed but the usual doom merchants decided to ignore what was obvious...now we can be almost assured a number one album and a high charting single...the time is now.

I can't help being a bit pissed off that 'our' Moz will become public property, and specifically the property of students and those little kids with the baggy jeans, hip chains and black hair who think their goths. I know I should be pleased he's finally getting the publicity and respect he deserves, I know - but I don't want to share him with the majority. I just know the people who've taken the piss all these years ('is he still alive?' etc) will turn round and sing his praises. How very sickening.
Ah well, still chuffed about everything and have got to get my video working!

America bashing (Score:1)
This reeks of phony "intellectual" Michael Moore style America bashing. It's not even original. Is this the view of America he sees through the windows of his $80,000 sports car? Paid for by American fan money. This is a big slap in the face, in my view, and I certainly won't be supporting this garbage.
I don't think I'll be buying Morrissey's new CD. In fact, fuck you Morrissey.
