Ordinary Boys discuss Morrissey - Manchester Online

 Belligerent Ghoul sends the link / excerpt:

Ordinary Boys out to prove they're anything but - Manchester Online (Aug. 26, 2005)

Excerpt:

He'd fallen - hard - and become a Friend Of Morrissey.

"Although I consider myself to be a huge Morrissey fan, up until my late teens I had no idea The Smiths even existed. Now I consider his solo records - probably for nostalgic reasons - to be better than The Smiths ones."

He's a witch I say, burn him!

"It's very controversial, I know. I get into HUGE shouting arguments down the pub with people."

WERE you a Morrissey Fundamentalist - did you ever experiment with (gulp) vegetarianism? "I never obsessed that much over it," says Preston. "I loved the records, but I've never been that personal. It's like when I used to be really into American hardcore bands when I was younger, like Black Flag and Minor Threat and Bad Brains. I found it weird... ... "It's the same with Morrissey. He's a genius and people do the silly Morrisseyisms and quiffs and flowers-in-pockets and turn it into something ridiculous. I think it's better to hope the music will fit into your lifestyle rather than having to change your lifestyle to fit into the music."

can you be a 'huge Morrissey fan' and not be aware of thre Smiths? Just an opportunist student 6 month phase bandwaggoner if you ask me.

      the term "Morrissey Fundamentalist"

      I also like the reference to burning him at the stake.

      It is kind of like a witch hunt around here sometimes isn't it?

      "He's not a REAL Moz fan. Let throw him in the moat and see if he floats. If he does, he's a poser. if he doesn't he's dead anyway."

        He doesn't have Morrissey tattooed on his tongue, he must be a FMF (fakemozfan).

        He hadn't really heard of The Smiths, so what? It's just complimentary towards Morrissey that people can fall that madly in love with his music without even needing to check up on the back catalogue to see if he's worthy of the praise.

        The Ordinary Boys played a blinding gig in Cardiff last night, their music speaks for itself really in terms of diversity of influences, nowt wrong with that!

                Naming themselves after one of his worst songs AND truly living up to the name. However, I would fuck the shit out of that singer. He'd be mucho fun to have gay sex with. And that HELPS, at least. *drools*

                I heard a song from them, can't remember the name, lamenting the sad state of music today and how unoriginal everything is, all the while being a very bad impersonation of Morrissey. Lol.
