The nature of what caused the terror attacks in London, the massacres in Russia, and all the massacres in human history - since it began - is of the same nature of what made Morrissey suffer unjust treatment in court, in school (do you know he was beaten in school?) and in the music industry. Mental miopia causes damages of kinds - from psychological to physical, in the private, intimate sphere and in the public sphere. When you use words of hatred against somebody, you are already causing someone damage, if you have the power to isolate and socially immobilize this person. Prolonged (or chronic) Loneliness and isolation, invisible, existential confinement - Morrissey's main theme - is just as psychologically damaging as the Berlin wall, the putting of Jews on concentration camps or ghettos of any kind. Only it comes in homeopathic dosages. Only it is not evident to less sublte minds.

Morrissey was one of the only ones - if not the only one - in music history that exposed the seriousness of depression caused by outsideness, by being hatred or despised in a group. His attack on all kinds of authority is only one of a many illustrations of the mentally sterilizing mediocrity authority figures can promote. If you remove Morrissey from this anti-brain washing mission - e.g.,protesting against vulgar and mind/senses-numbing songs - you kill the purpose of why he makes songs and goes on. But we fans make sure this keeps from happening, and we have been succeeding so far, because there is a need for him to be here.

We live in scary times and/because we live in the age of loneliness too. Our insentiveness to nature and to our subsequent destruction of it are causing the planet to warm up and destroy us in turn, but our aloofness to the feelings of others our are causing a growing massive consumption of Valium and Prozac. People often go unheard, and have to pay for therapists to have someone who listens to them. I don't know why you think this is stupid. Unless you haven't learnt from human experience any more than through comic books.

We have lived an age of loneliness in every historical phase: Joan of Arc must have felt pretty alone, way before she was incarcerated and then burned, way before, when she was treated as a herectic witch. Jews in the concentration camp, besides hunger and thirst, have died equally from the sadness of being apart from their families, and from the dry and cruel words that were systematically used to denigrate them. This is fact. Jim Morrisson too, because most of those around him didn't understand anything of what he meant or tried to live for. Norma Jean, because she was repeatedly used as an object of desire and abandonned.

But if you need a massive, earth-shattering tragedy to understand tragedy has always occured in human history, you should read about the black plague that wiped out nearly half of Europe in the late middle ages. The eruption of the Vesuvius around the end of the Roman empire. Otherwise, remember Sappho and Ovid died alone and despised by most people they knew. Fortunately, Morrissey managed to emerge from ostracism, again and again, because the love of his fans for him will keep him from drowning into obscurity again. We need his voice, because it speaks of things people like you refuse to see.

It would be more concisive,though, not to confuse natural disasters to the ones caused by human hatred and prejudice (isolation, depression, etc. Although they can come toghether, they are still two different categories of tragedy.
