since when should people be worried that morrissey is happy now? good for him! isn't that what we should want? moz has suffered long enough..i hope he finds someone to live the rest of his life with now.

Good god, that's about as funny as a mining disaster.

I think its supposed to be a joke

I know this is a joke, but around the time of Vauxhall and I, didn't Moz mention in an interview that he had tried Prozac and didn't like the effect it had on him?

Be more selective on all the un-news, which leaves us all yellow in the face.

ive had a bad day, what a funny little pickmeup. the very idea of morrissey listening to the beach boys...

Morrissey already did a song about Beach,Sun, Calf.-summer-etc...Remember "The Lazy Sunbathers!!!

Funny article, I do not picture Morrissey listening to crap like the Beach Boys, even if he found "happiness".(sorry beach boy fans)

Even if Moz started writing on "upbeat" subjects, you have to admit that his way of putting things will always be interesting and highly intellegent.

For one split second of my life, this article worried me. I'd swear my heart stopped till i read "spoof"

If only this was true - I'd like so see Moz really happy (it would be quite intresting!).....because he deserves it. Oh well, I think he's somewhat positive these days.....must be the American fans!

i knew all the time something was different. people say to me that he is different now, and i could not see why. i am feeling very depressed... actually, i think i'm gonna cry. well, i'm really feeling strange and i am a little shocked. maybe you can not believe but i am really crying, and i know prozac can change a life. i deserve all the happiness to moz, but i think i could not stand if his words would change... i would feel desolate... alone. really, i am feeling horrible now. prozac is fine, but.....oh no, i can't say nothing more...... i'm really bad. god help me please...

I know, I know--it was a joke. I actually did my share of chuckling. But did they really have to use the Beach Boys to make their point? The Beach Boys have only created some of the most gorgeous heart wrenching music in history. Witness, "Pet Sounds" or "Sunflower".

I guess what I'm saying is that MOrrissey could actually gain something if he were really listening to the Beach Boys.

Alas, the ignorant masses will know them only as the surf group that did "Fun, Fun, Fun"!!!!

:)

couldn't people just tell from the article title alone that it was a joke?

Prozac/Zoloft etc. don't make you "happy" per se...they even things out, cut out the highs and lows associated with depression.

Anyway, I *would* like to see him do a bright, happy album...why not? And the Beach Boys are NOT crap. Download Pet Sounds from Napster and see.

Kyaking and Moz?
It should be a great movie.

After all the betrayls from so called friends I think that Morrissey is much to wise to tell secrets about his life to Judas-people who would be able to sell out his soul to the press or the net.
But if this rumours are true -I guess itīs time for Morrissey to get rid of some of his "friends".

It's very amusing that the author chose to cite the Beach Boys ..... Johnny Marr is an admitted fan.

People crack me up. If you acually paid attention to that site, you notice the "DISCLAMER" at the bottom. lol. Heres what it says:

This little website of mine about indie rocker scandals is a joke. None of the stories are even remotely true. It's just for laughs and entertainment. If any of the bands I have poked fun at manage to see this site and are deeply offended I am willing to remove articles mentioning them. Hopefully they all have a good sense of humor.

There, can you breathe again?

Wasn't Charles Manson fond of the Beach Boys, too? or did he just write music with them? **shrug**

Moz on Prozac? Next I guess he will be at Walmart shopping for diapers...for himself! god this world is horrible...miserable.....Moz PLEASE come back to your senses --- IF you aren't there already.

... Destroyed? Ehehehe!!!
I see Morrissey in Oye Esteban's shows, better than never! Happy or sad, He is MORRISSEY, my friends...
" Why of the I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye "?

In review on the posted article:

-Who are the sources?
-Who has directly spoken about the Morrissey prosac affair?

To the writer of this article.

-Where is your empirical references? Without them, this article is just simply part of the unethical and spontaneous tabloid industry.
-An industry that speaks it's imagination and not the ultimate and absolute truth.

On a brighter note... to the true fans:
-If Morrissey has been taking Prosac, shouldn't this be a good thing for him and for us. We could very well witness a new age. An age of happiness, glory and self-actualization.

In the past, we have been drawn to Morrissey on the basis of depression, subordination, reflection, exploitation, inner turmoil and regret. Now we can understand, witness, feel and hear material that is very special, beautiful and bright. Happiness in it's fullest form, from the very man who has touched us in the deepest possible way.

I, too, was on prozac fro 4 or 5 yrs and didn't notice any difference other than the fact that I seemed to have no feelings, it was very easy to "let things roll of my back"; also I was called "the ice princess" on several occasions, but most of all, I stopped listening to MOZ and the smiths! Coincidence? I think not. Well anyhow, now that I'm off of it, my affinity for Moz has been rekindled... so naturally I can't help but wonder if I'll have to go back on it to enjoy his new stuff?

as pop queen said, the article is a joke. it says so itself. will everyone please quite talking about as if it were real? there are enough things to get worked up about in the world.

I think Moz likes the Beach Boys anyway. Why not?
Heīs rather bizar figure who toys around with bizar ideas. But I donīt think that he ever gonna write a Beach Boyish song or something happy. He is to sad to do that.

By the way, the rumour was a joke.

Well,if Morrissey decides to write happy songs,he will certainly be able to join a band similar as "Take That" or something like "Wham".Because,when Morrissey write sad poems,he his speaking about us.About our lives,about how life is,in its true and real meaning.Morrisey happy?Sorry but that doesnīt make sense...Very nice ,very nice,but maybe in the next world!!!!And iīm writing this to say in a gentle way... thank you but...NO!

  Goodnight and thank you

It's clear he started taking beta-versions of the drug in october 1984, because the William-12" was the last time I really believed he meant it.

Morrissey redoing the complete Friends-lp would be Prozac to me.

this spoof article sounds a bit like some lame-ass Scientology or Christian Science hand-out! "See! See how mind-altering prescriptions can ruin lives!" Whatever, I'm sick of going to Hollywood and seing those asses making millions off of scaring people. No, I won't take your stupid free personality test, navy boy! Screw you L. Ron! Oh, and your stupid Battlefield Earth movie sucked Travolta!

You simply must watch Kids in the Hall BrainCandy to see the devastating results when this does actually happen. This is the funniest item I've seen in a long time. Keep the stories coming from the tabloids. I don't even want to think about how many people would have believed it if it was a "Morrissey abducted by Space Aliens" story. People would have been crying.."but he still had one more good album in him! Why couldn't they have taken Johnny Marr instead!"

I think by definition, the name "IndieNQUIRER" would lead one to believe that, like the Supermarket tabloid of similar name, it is total bullshit. I mean, honestly, people...

This all true , i heard his next single will be called," I wish they all could be California boys"

However, due to his genetic makeup, he has sworn off of prozac and is none the worse for it.

i think, iīll have a go too...

I'm a brazilian Morrissey's fan. I read some about that Morrissey and Prozac. I have depression and I take medicine, not the Prozac because it's much strong. I decided take medicine because I was tired. Like Morrissey said "Yes, I'm blind/ I can't see the good things, just the bad things..."
But I know that my decision was right. I don't want someone sad only this person to do excelent songs. Morrissey is special because he is singular. His life likes Greta Garbo's life. She died alone, but she wanted that. Everybody needs new experiences, new influences. "Nothing cures the soul, otherwise the senses - like there is not
to cure the senses nothing like the soul". "To influence someone is an exercise overpowering". Point to Prozac in that case.
I think that Morrissey will tired with Prozac, if he really takes it. He appreciates his image.
In my country there was a poet that said "but said me that the sadness 'dress' me so well".

Hey.... THIS IS MORRISSEY HERE! Perhaps, yes, he wants to try new things, and I'm sure if he does write happy songs, they will still have the wonderful humor like in all his compositions. Seriously, just as long as prozac is what he wants, and is helping him, just as long as he doesn't do anything trastic.... LIKE KILL HIMSELF!!!!! :********O

My dog tells better jokes.

I'd really like to see that - Morrissey kyaking. Look, that whole little scoop of rubbish has sent my head spinning. Dear God - The Beach Boys? Heaven knows he must be miserable now...
