You say this:
I wasn't dictating anything.
I didn't dismiss....I said I disagree. I love the voice of Sam Smith....but I wouldn't say I was a fan....because of the depth of his lyrics.
That's an insult....that's not a response...
I hate that pig faced f***er's voice. Butchering him would definitely not be a case of "meat is murder".
I think ultimately if you were a "true" fan you would think for yourself and say what you believe in -- popular opinion or not -- because that is what Morrissey certainly encourages. Do you think he would appreciate yes men who ride his coattails or opinionated individuals who can challenge him yet remain amicably constructive? Not that the average fan is in a position to either get approval or disapproval from Morrissey so it ultimately doesn't matter. But being a follower is definitely not what Morrissey is about. I'll add that there is a difference between giving him some stick and explaining your position with intelligence and logic from simply saying "the new album is a f***ing pile of shit nuggets and Morrissey is a fat, obnoxious two inch cocked c***face, end of story".
To be direct and answer the question: "what is a true fan?" There's really no such thing. It's like saying "what's a true queer?" and saying "you might like men but I'm the only
true queer 'cause I take it up me arse from 22 different lads on an evening and you lot o' f***ers ain't
true queers 'cause you don't take it up the arse at all!" Queer is queer. Fan is fan. End of story. And no you don't have to want to take Morrissey's massive dick up your arse to be a fan OK Keeney boy? But if you do want that, that's perfectly alright as well. There's a lad now carry on.
