Re: Morrissey and the band have a message for you.
First of all, who says that Morrissey is slamming this site for "negative reviews of his new material?" That's not what this is all about. Sloppy journalism.
Secondly, Morrissey refuses to recognize any authority whatsoever, including the authority of his fans. As far as I know, Moz is one of the very few pop stars on the planet who could get away with such an attitude.
Sure, the T-shirts are kind of a dick move, but it all fits in with Morrissey's life-long habit of leading with his chin. It would have been a classier move to wear a shirt that said: "f*** the negative, abusive, just-plain-nasty trolls on Morrissey-Solo," but that isn't really very pithy.
David deserves a huge amount of credit for continuing on with one of the most thankless jobs in all of fandom (although, seriously, the front page needs to be hosed down a bit more often...)
