I cannot believe my eyes!
Morrissy as Lord Voldemort! ah ah ah!Have they gone mad?
GREAT.

Who is Stephen Patrick Morrissey?

I've heard of a guy called Steven. He has some good songs.

This is the second blog he's written attacking Morrissey since the NME thing. He's had this vendetta going since the early nineties and he can't seem to let go. He's like one of those ex-fans that hangs around on here, only popping up to stick the boot in whenever they get the opportunity.

And he is doing it from abroad too, hasn't lived in England for years either. How obsessive is that?

Oh, the ‘irony’ of this article is just….. so ‘hilarious‘. Chortle! Look: It’s just another attempt to ‘wind us up’: Morrissey’s’ audience, that is…Don’t ‘rise to the bait’. Here are a few ‘ problem issues’:

‘Lord Voldemort of pop‘?

  An interesting concept, but needs some ‘qualifying’. Perhaps J.K Rowling (as a fan of Morrissey) could explain how Morrissey equates to ‘the heart of darkness’ in her ‘fantasy world’ of Harry Potter. Having read those books to my kids, I don’t ‘get it’. What does he mean?

‘he lives in a fusty fantasy world’: What, like J.K Rowling?

Illogical. There’s a complex philosophical debate to be had here about a ‘phenomenological’ versus ‘objective’ reality matrix, but my kids want their dinner.

This quote links to another ridiculous blog ‘article’ by Steven Wells :

‘Morrissey Is Living In A Fantasy World’

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/12/morris se y_is_living_in_a_fanta.html

It requires a separate Morrissey-Solo headline to eviscerate its’ brazen stupidity, Or has this already been done and I missed it whilst I was out looking for dodgy sexual encounters?

‘He reeks of Woodbines, meat pies‘

He doesn’t smoke, and it’s hard to imagine any possible context whereby he would ‘reek of meat pies’ unless Bernard Matthews abducted him and forced him to work in one of his abattoirs.

‘Morrissey should be the new England manager because, despite being Irish, he is the most English person alive apart from Mrs Thatcher, who is a woman’.

In my opinion, as both and Englishman and an Irishman: This comment is simply ignorant.
‘Despite being Irish’: What is that supposed to mean? Gibberish.

And, what has Mrs Thatcher’s ‘alleged’ biological /gender identity got to do with this? Why can’t a woman become the England Football Manager? That’s Sexist and Not Very Guardian!Slapped wrist.

‘And like Mrs Thatcher he is of the opinion that real Englishness is under threat’.

Lazy, sloppy attempt to link Morrissey to Mrs Thatcher politically, i.e.: to make out that his views on Immigration are synonymous with reactionary Right-Wing politicians. Not necessarily so. Also, curious linkage:

Given ‘Margaret On The Guillotine’ and Morrissey's comments regarding the IRA Brighton Bomb outrage.

‘He is thus at the exact same stage of emotional and cultural development as the hardcore of "real" England fans, who complain bitterly about how it were all real working-class English blokes around here once - before they ruined it by letting in women and other non real working-class English bloke types’

Now, this isn’t funny in the slightest. The inference of overt sexism by English Gentlemen types towards female footie fans. I think Delia Smith can sort him out on this one. ‘Let’s be ‘avin you!’ etc.

If by ‘other non real working-class English bloke types’ he means people like me, who escaped the gutters of inner-city England for the stars of the English Shire heartlands: Fcuk off .

I am entirely ‘real’, that’s why I post under my real name with a correspondence address!
I am also, proudly, part of the hardcore of “real” England fans, but this ‘hardcore’ is composed of individuals with opinions, and cannot just be ‘aggregated’ into a ‘class’ descriptor, just because it helps a Guardian ‘journalist’ to reduce the complexity of ‘Real Life’.

If he means people born into some degree of ‘middle-class comfort and security’: That’s petty inverse class snobbery. Not surprising from The Guardian.

‘But Morrissey - sat in the dug-out with his sovereign-ringed fists thrust deep into the pockets of his sheepskin coat’

The writer is clearly in a delusional fantasy world or knows nothing about Morrissey as it is impossible to imagine Morrissey in a ‘sheepskin coat’:

“Little lamb
On a hill
Run fast if you can
Good Christians, they want to kill you
And your life has not even begun !”
Lyrics copyright Morrissey: “Yes, I Am Bl

Stephen(!) Wells is another journalist who will stop at nothing to hear from Moz. He must know that Morrissey's written songs about America, Estonia, Mexico, Italy, and far-off places. Still Wells resorts to type-casting, even mocking caricature to reach out and try to keep him in dialogue, though it may be a scathing rejoinder.

All in his own good time. : )

Funny, but not in the way the journalist intended.

Being close to Christmas, it reminds me that a lot of people are also misinformed about the historical figure of Jesus; Morrissey is just part of a similar messianic tradition.
There is much more preaching to be done my children, go and spread the word ;-)

morrissey couldn't manage a football team out of a paper bag. the england national team was going to use 'life is a pigsty" and "we hate it when our friends become successful" as its theme song for not making euro 2008.

also boxer ricky hatton is going to use 'your the one for me, fatty"
