Man, it's a tough day when someone paints you even uglier than Joey Ramone.
 
funny but the original pic aint great either though its still a nice tribute. robert looks really well done though
 
this is the most awkward photo of morrissey i have ever seen :rofl:


is that ian curtis on the left? :confused:
 
Moz beside Robert Smith. Priceless. I could never understand Moz and Bob's mutual hatred and hopefully it was exaggerated. Liking The Smiths/Moz/The Cure shouldn't be mutually exclusive.

I really enjoyed seeing the Cure at the Pantages in LA the same night Morrissey was playing across the street. (I caught Moz in Las Vegas two nights later)
It was a sea of sad black clad women with too much makeup on one side of the street, and Latino greasers on the other. I nearly expected a West Side Story style rumble to break out.

Stylistically, the two bands couldn't be further apart. About the time Morrissey makes a heavy psychedelic Masterpiece like Kiss Me, or Robert Smith decides to stop singing exclusively in abstract metaphors I'll worry, but until then, I'll carry on loving both bands, and countless others, because musical tastes are far too subjective for silly dividing lines best left in a 1990's high school hallway.
 
Fat Bob has only ever had cheekbones like that in his dreams.

Moz is boss-eyed.

'art' is stretching it, wall or otherwise...

My memories are still quite vivid - at school, you were not allowed to like both at the same time. If you listened to Peel it was for Moz. Robert was verboten!
That kind of rivalry is, of course, utterly daft and I enjoy both now.
Moz at the time:
"Robert Smith is a whingebag. It's rather curious that he began wearing beads at the emergence of The Smiths and (eyes narrowing) has been photographed with flowers. I expect he's quite supportive of what we do, but I've never liked The Cure... not even "The Caterpillar"."

Similar vivid memories. Blood amongst the lippy.

It is utterly daft, and yet...i kind of miss that kind of tribalism. i don't think 'kids' have that now, where 'your' music meant the entire world to you and defined your entire self. And there were tribes ~ goth kids, metal kids, indie kids, pop kids, etc. Tribes and sides - you had to pick a side, a very binary age. it was black and white. it was the 80s, we could all fry tomorrow.
Nowadays music is just one tiny pixel in a background 'wall-art' of entertainment. you watch 'kids' (by this of course i mean 33 year olds) play music on their telephones, flicking from taylor swift to nirvana to kanye west, and this heart sinks just a little.
Christ, i feel old.

I'm one of those kids with music on my phone.. Maybe I can explain the mentality behind the madness..

I would say the flicking around from artist to artist or genre to genre is the modern equivalent of making a mix tape. Intentional choices of music that fits a mold only the creator knows. This isn't always the case but.. I have playlists that go from Billy Fury to Suicide to Big Mama Thorton to Fionn Regan to whatever. Nonsensical choices for being part of a defined tribe.

There are still tribes though. We just tend to run closer together so you might not notice the lines. Music is vastly available these days. We don't have to hunt down a single or LP and chance not getting it. Most albums are instantly available or a special order away. With this availability come a lot more open minded people that are driven on the most base level of personal preference. Sometimes you hear a song and it hits you right. I don't let my grungy roots define my music library.

I am a complete snob by the way. I only buy original pressings of records and believe vinyl reigns supreme. I hate digital music. I just think being able to listen to an album anywhere trumps my desire to be pretentious.
 
what kind of painting is that?
moz looks like a blowfish.
