    I'm almost sure you can do better than that.
    • "any site claiming to be expressing my views or my identity is/are bogus."

      does that include true-to-you.net? Now I'm really confused

  • I got a Facebook message saying "Pay no attention to unofficial web source rumors. St. Petersburg, Russia show, just ended and was spectacular."

    So who is actually in charge here?

  • I just could never imagine Morrissey having the time to take part in all those internet sites. Between my job and my life I don't have the time to visit/or join them :)

  • Confusion. (Score:1, Insightful)

    Guys, really. He could've clarified "bogus" vs. "my label/management," but you know what he meant (and, I guess, they're synonymous from the point of view of the question "is it Morrissey?").

    He's on a major label. One of the downsides of that is that stupid stuff sometimes gets done in your name, just as one of the upsides (presumably) is publicity and booking and distribution and shit. In fact, these folks probably think that creating a Twitter that vaguely masquerades as Morrissey's words IS publicity. This is because, once again, corporations don't understand that social media are just that, and a social-media account for a corporate entity or real but absent figure is going to be seen through immediately.

  • I thought that was official, whoever is running the facebook account seems to know an awful lot about what's happening.
    I am really confused now.

  • Solo un-"dubious'd" (Score:2, Informative)

    I think this means Moz is saying he was not the one calling solo a "dubious" website. Reading the myspace message closer, it was written in third person, so I believe Moz's True-to-You statement as his own, being as he trusts Julia and it's written in first person. Coming from the record company (?) myspace, though, it's easy to overlook that upon first read. (Well, all those Catholic school grammar lessons still come in useful in the age of lightning-speed networking technology!)

    What's dubious is the rotten original source of info that told David T that the show had been cancelled.

    Big rasberry to them! pthbthbthbthbthb...!!!

  • Can anyone actually envision Morrissey at a computer looking through social networks like Twitter or Facebook? Honestly - I can't imagine something more detestable. Of course he hasn't anything to do with them. Those sites are for us mere mortals. He probably uses a fax machine to keep the humans at bay. God bless him.
