That's a pretty expensive coat. I wonder if Morrissey will ever adopt a kid.

I love you, Moz.

i like her .
sorry Moz.

Has he actually ever met the woman?
If not..a really ignorant comment to make

He's never liked her, but does this stem from that incident way back when Madinner's Maverick label asked Moz (via handwritten note) for some demos for a possible signing? "You can go to HMV to hear my demos," he said and in the bin the note went.

I would like to cut up her ass and roast it as bacon
she sucks, her african kid sucks, her director husband sucks, everything about her sucks
the last good song she wrote was borderline
Everything after was sub par
Fuck you Madonna

He's lashing out at her use of the kid.

I wish he said "Mag" or Miss Ciccone instead of Madonna. Is she still speaking with a fake English accent?

The good news is I just found out I won two free Ipod Nanos. ;)

God bless your acid tongue Morrissey.

I have to admit, I think Madge is clinically insane and Lord only knows how all these adopted celebrity children will turn out; I doubt they'll be the most stable individuals in the world (just look at Nicole Richie).
However, having said that, and being a musical snob, I have to admit that I liked 'Confessions on a Dance Floor'. It's the first time I've enjoyed her music since the 80's. Mind you, I caught a bit of her performance at Live Earth, and she looked and sounded bloody awful.

good on ya old mozzer, we all hate niggazzzz

I applauded Morrissey when he took on Aimes pet food. I am left to wonder though if he realizes that PETA euthanizes the majority of animals it liberates. On top of that I wonder if he is aware of PETA's behind the scenes commitment to supporting ELF and ALF where they have written out checks to known and convicted violent felons in the name of animal rights?

Anyone who wants can check PETA's tax return btw as it is a matter of public record as they are a tax free non profit.

The man wears leather, and has the audacity to call other people out on their fashion ethics. He supports Gucci as well.

I don't have any interest in Madonna, but she's doing more for other people than Morrissey's lazy, self-centered ass.

On top of that, he casually throws out his support for a group that is equivalent to religious wackos. Morrissey really is racking up the point sin life, isn't he?

They literally will support any comment he makes, and rationalize it to the most absurd degree. The mas is a philistine. His comments are becoming increasingly unintelligent. I'm beginning to think that he makes these statements to keep his name in the news.

There's little separating Morrissey fans from actual cults. It's comical.

I love you forever more. I mean somebody HAS to tell the world what an useless & brainless bitch she is. There are 3 reasons to hate her:

- She wore a full lenght Chincilla coat in London Last year. Yet, she goes to Africa to adopt a baby WITH her photographers in tow!

- She addressed her (gay) audience in London last year saying "You Fuckers" - How unkind!

- A person who I know used to hang around her London flat wanting to see a glimpse of the poor Cow. Madonna became very irrate and was shouting abuse to her from her window asking the fan to F**** off. I mean she was just a harmless fan!

Fancy having McDonna as your mother? I think Social Services should get involved. She is not a full shilling = She is fruit & nut.

I was there and he totally did say that. Except the fifteen minutes part. I was going to ask my fiancee, who was also there, before I posted that. It's true. I had no idea Norfolk was so confrontational. I thought he'd been ripping her all over the U S of A.

Well somebody's got to tell the truth! I'm Glad it was Morrissey again.
I mean LET'S face it; Madonna sucks. The woman is an embarrasment.

sounds a little bigoted towards the boy & his race. i wasn't there and didn't hear it word for word, but that's my impression based on this story.

there's is no way in the music industry Madonna and Morrissey should be friends...respected peers is the most those two should ever think of one another...they are on two extremely different artistic and creative planets...Morrissey being catty about madonna is completely in keeping with his character and personality and im sure he's secretly enjoyed a song or two of Madge's ( and i'm sure she has Moz favorites, how could she not?)afterall i have feeling if he had a sexual orientation there would be strong foundness for Miss M...she's an icon with any color child or fur (Queens are not PETA concerned - besides pets - there just not)she wants - if she never saw the kid again and gave it away to a nanny to handle that david will most definitely want for nothing if he plays his cards right and at least being in her brood he's got a deck to play...and as a sidebar Madonna hasn't the necessity to cancel shows and she somehow manages to go on and on for nights on end months at a time...i'm not slamming Morrissey for canceling, hell i would probaly do it too and i'd probaly retire also if i were either them...money has certainly afforded them both comfortable lifestyles...i'm just mentioning that both have been around pretty much the same amount of time around 83-84...they just can't be social it would be chaos.. she's not british and Morrissey couldn't handle the persona and all the baggage that comes with her and the competing ego's forget about it! it really wouldn't matter, but as the two may be so similar- she a gay icon and him ?gay? they will never be in the same room, Moz will make sure of it! i admire them both, they have been part of my life for a long time -good times listening, dancing and seeing both -with their faults and all the drama and amazing body of work, they have kept it going exactly as they wanted, and from totally different angles have given the people who live an alternative lifestyle a lot of music to listen too that resonates...the stage is where they both shine....i'd like to see them both at least once more before retirement greets them...they both know they've put a stamp on music throughout the world and if they ever have a sit down i love to be a fly on the wall. it would certainly be flying.

Madonna bores the shit out of me. Always has. She's a "bloody" fake, and trades on the fact. Moz, bless his tortured soul, is real. Real what, we do not know- and neither does he, quite. But he's real.

Woo Hoo. Good on you Morrissey.
I love it. I love it. I really, really love it.
Madonna is such a fake, bad example to girls,
plasticised overly made up faddish woman,
adopting an African child is not going
to make any difference to her obviously
underdeveloped sense of awareness.

Oh, Now that was wrong. IF it is true!..
Morrissey you were wrong. Anyone that talks smack about anyone else no matter how bad it is or whom they are.Is wrong.. "Its BEST to live and let live".
Of Course we have rights!
But all in Moderation I would say. People will never conform to any other Individual .We can only better, ourselves. But they(people) can be tricked(Can be lead estray and will, unfortunately!) as we seen.
I'm talking about that row of people On that Letterman show ;).

You must have that thorn in, pretty deep right now...=/ IF It is true.. It happens to us all!
But then yes you are human and we all are entitled to say what we feel we must!..Madonna deserves what ever respect that comes her way and is entitled. She has worked her ass off!Madonna is also entitled of wearing what ever it is she pleases.
I personally love Madonna's "work" she is a great artist.
But then again this is what makes me. this is what I like.

Wow I can say this and not be stoned!;)

Oh my, One thing is true though we should never ever brings a child or a teenager into such matters. They (Children, Our future.) have enough on their plates already.

So much to say on this matter.. But I want to be brief, WE all can blow this out of proportion. I do know that much!.

Oh well what is said is said...

But one thing I have taken the cue from many that take the lead and I try to be reasonable, Including yes Mr Morrissey the writer.I think he is Great!

I guess I wonder if Mr Morrissey reads all this talk that we all have here.....:)
I at least hope he sees we his fans have a great opinion in life, existence...

Now People can take what I said and reason or people can be a pain in the ass and protest my words.

Which I will happily accept and move on.

Marisela

Sheech I'm actually glad I read this.

Wow! Now I want to listen to Our Frank**! :)
I simply love that song!

Thank you

Because We must***

who thinks what Moz said was a little messed up?

Brilliant.

Ready with ready wit
And a withering putdown!

BB

For someone who clearly knows how to use language I find this really ignorant..the boy's from MALAWI:not too difficult to say,is it?

Or should we refer to Morrissey now as "that European guy"

Seems to me that Madonna is at least making a real difference to someone's life,Moz's sniping does seem very immature and rather silly

Read this comment...fell about laughing and fell in love with Morrissey all over again, he's so funny!! He's always stuff like this at gigs to amuse the crowd, or to get stuff off his gorgeous chest. He's only reacting to all these wealthy women adopting kids, like they are accessories like buying handbags or indeed a coat..
Madonna is a fucking hypocrite anyway, all the unethical companies she's invested over the years in and plays Live earth, a fake...Mozz to thine own self is always true...

Madonna just put out a new song in "the defense of nature" that just sounded so lame and lazily constructed that I pressed the stop button before the song finished. One of the things that intrigue me about Madonna is that she IS a talented artist but prone to selling her image in the cheapest possible way to the media. I even have her latest CD, and enjoyed it, but going to one of her shows is just not something that appeals to me: there is no message she sends, just a lot of fancy images. I believe where there is a beginning of awareness in her, she baffles with a mega-star attitude. Adopting foreign children is OK, as long as it is a gesture that doesn't reveal itself too much as a Hollywood trend like it is now: everyone in Hollywood was first having babies: every female in Hollywood was getting and displaying a round belly for photographers to fill magazines with. Now, adopting babies is the new fashion: Angelina Jolie with Brad Pitt and a couple of African kids, followed immediately by Madonna. And it's not just adoption that is working as a magnetic force that attracts news: Oprah has recently opened a school for girls in Africa. Well, why didn't she do this before? Are women celebrities discovering JUST NOW the "spiritual benefits" of helping a child? Why didn't they help before, or at different stages in their glorious careers? The whole thing is just pathetic, like politicians donating money to fix a road to score more points in the next election. Morrissey is right to joke because the whole thing is a sad joke.

Well first I must say that I am A huge Madonna fan and quite frankly I'm tired of everyone feeling the need to critize her every move! When do you ever hear her saying anything about other celebrities. These comments just make moz look very immature and childish, this may upset other fans but I'm not sorry Madonna is an awesome artist who could run circles around moz on stage and off stage!!

Not like anything from Moz isn't complex, but this one definitely gave me pause to think. Regardless of Madonna being whatever (is she worth discussion?), Morrissey said this in context of the perspective that animals of any genus are on par with humans (ie., "I don't eat my friends.") He basically is saying Madonna's just jumping on the Jolie-Pitt adoption bandwagon for publicity's and popularity's sake (not to help raise awareness of the consequences of war and human atrocity. Wearing fur, how could she?) and unfortunately a human life is concerned. He is saying she doesn't inherently care about life. Because she chose a black baby as a white woman (with an otherwise white family... ok, so Lourdes is half-Latino, don't ask why I remember these things!), there's no way to avoid sticky racial implications just at any mention of the adoption... which could be Madge's intention. Publicity and taboo, even in motherhood.

Well, Moz, once this gets out to wider press (in print is always worse and nearly always out of context), you will have given both you and your beloved Madge publicity. Who hasn't benefitted by public wars between legendary figures in pop? At face value, I think what he said is monstrous, but I don't believe he means it the way most of us super race-self-conscious Americans (myself included) initially think. (Hey, it's just the way we are because of our histories together, if we're aware of the history.) Moz is not American, however, and he's coming from a very different place in heart. It's much deeper and beyond race. It's a strong thing to say. Will the wider world understand? Oh dear Moz (sigh)...

Morrissey has publicly denounced Madonna a number of times for wearing, nay flaunting furs, including one of little dogs' skins. On the documentary about him, TIOBM, he likened society's exploitation of animals to child abuse because we are supposed to care about them and treat them with consideration but instead their pain caused by systematised cruelty falls largely on deaf ears. "It's just all abuse", he said; probably a philosophical contention in circulation amongst rights ethicists. (Incidentally a newish book called "God is not Great; how religion poisons everything" by Christopher Hitchens includes a chapter about religion as child abuse)

So in referring to this child, presumably Morrissey was implying that if Madonna could sacrifice human pets for her clothes, the Malawian family might be losing David to more than Madonna's parental embrace?! It was about outing her for modelling bad attitudes to animals, not about faulting her choice to adopt.

Oh the words that fall out of his mouth! Scathing, Morrissey! Scathing!! :P

After holding his tongue for so long, the old boy's finally decided to lash out. More, I say.

Madonna's an insufferable old bitch and I'm glad someone called it

Although it may not be on topic very well, I find it hilarious.

I introduce Madonna:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=LVTVYpZ9ivA :)

Moz is a grown man....
Has he got the right to say that?
We all thank him for what he has done.
Anyway, there much worst people in this world than Madonna.
The problem with this Peta is big.I love animal too. I wish there was no politics involved in "NO PROFIT" ( I just can't stop laughting), organizazions.

madonna is a disease ridden old boney arsed slag, who creates a new image for each album with all the artistic integrity of Bernie Clifton and his comedy ostrich.

Nobody can kick her enough.

If you've ever been to her concerts (or seen them on DVD), you know that there is more to the show than just her. It is a total and full circus act of dancers, imagery, artistic direction that have wider cultural relevance and impact than just one person singing and flailing about. She addressed wider social issues like AIDS and gender identification before it was popular to do so that go beyond her own personal neurotic needs. Plus, if you've ever seen her documentary, she is a brilliant and savvy business woman as well as an entertainer that reaches a wider mass audience which is all one can hope for as an entertainer. Her concerts were always sold out and I don't recall them ever being cancelled, and she performed to the full tilt without a sick day perhaps because she is so physically, mentally, and spiritually fit and grounded. A consummate professional and in terms of health alone, a role model for young women and men, a far better one than the alternatives we have today. The controversy is unfounded and she is so huge that she really can't be bothered by anyone's opinion of her. The funny thing about her being compared to organized prostitution is that you can compare any commercial artist, including all "pop" singers to that of a prostititute whoring her/himself night after night to the demands of their audience. If you recall the cover of the first Smiths cover, it is a close-up of a young male hustler in the Andy Warhol movie Flesh. And whenever she was on Letterman, she was far more entertaining and created more buzz and furor than any "pop" star has ever been or ever will be. Her career has been a brilliant manipulation of the media rather than the other way around which explains why she has lasted for so long.

Madonna strikes me very much as the sort of female who would happily kill and eat her young (which makes her name a delicious irony). I think Morrissey was really just (over)stating the obvious. That's the only great thing about getting old - you can say what you like with impunity. It almost compensates for the sagging jowls and the urinary incontinence. Let him have his fun.

what most people are too chicken to say. she is a forking moron & somebody needs to put her in her place.

how she is still able to recieve publicity & aknowledgement through "shock value" astounds me.
