Re: TIALTNGO - Neil Finn and Johnny Marr - Jazz Club London
Thanks
I like Neil Finn but its hard to watch this and not wish Morrissey was singing - This laid back version by Johnny is interesting and had Morrissey been singing i think it could have been beautiful.
It would be a shame if...
if the laugh was of "sympathetic embarrassment" then why recount the story, in public, in the first place?
yes it could be a misquote or taken out of contexts - lets hope so
"people... try to fish for me to say something nasty about The Smiths."
"Morrissey fell off the stage.....he actually cried.(Laughs)"
No need to fish with Rourke it appears he offers up nasty with glee the horrid fool.
1. - okay here is the quote "You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies."
2. - okay but he does say racist things
3. - okay lets go with "subset" (and i think you are being generous) this particular subset is different to the main group because all those in it (The Chinese) are...
Morrissey criticised some Chinese people's inhumane treatment of animals. - yes we all agree on this.
but crumbs..... he also said "Its hard not to feel the Chinese are a subspecies"
please tell me exactly why you think "it's hard to support his choice of the word" if you don't think its...
I'll say it again - before this particular quote i could defend everything he'd previously said/sang
My case is not to say Morrissey is racist - but that the remark was racist - and hearing him say racist things (for the first time) makes my heart sink - and i do still like him...
"The notion that he thinks Chinese people are genetically inferior is silly." - but isn't that what he said? - i think you are being too kind, if you pass this quote off as a slip - You can't just "accidently" suggest a nation is a subspecies - you have to actually think it.
We are going round in circles and i think we agree more than you are prepared to admit
"But Morrissey did not say anything nearly as inflammatory as "I hate Chinese people"." - really? - okay but i said that just to illistrate my point he did effectively suggest that they are less evolved - the...
haven't you said all this before (yawn).......and i don't own a clipboard - you keep going on about "the context" without explaining how the context justifies the quote - it doesn't
I do not Knit or live in Sidcup
I am not part of a lynch mob, or aboard a bandwagon
I am not crying or joining...
Come Come you must know this is a stupid thing to say - and you to worm:
The quote "I abhor racism" doesn't expire over time or require renewal but you must admit that if i were to say "i am not racist" and then later i say "i hate black people" then the second quote over-shadows the first -...
What????? Yes he does suggest that??? He said "the Chinese are a subspecies" please explain to me how that does not relate to all Chinese people and why the cruelty in the video forces you to conclude that the Chinese as a race are less evoved than the rest of us? - he did not say it hard to not...
