anyone believe this email from the main board?

I think the word 'printing' is supposed to be interchangeable with 'typing'.

Must be another little-used Morrissean usage.

Anyway, the whole thing's blown open on the main board. I'm going over to check out the latest lawyer communique.

Trouble Loves Me: I can understand your feelings...But once it's out there, what can you do? As I said before, I don't think it harms Morrissey's reputation at all, but it's a distasteful invasion of privacy. But again, if it was carelessly left for a member of the public to find...well.

I still thought the Morrissey style came through 100% loud and clear, even though he wasn't as flowery as he can be in an interview context. I'm obsessed with his words. What can I say?

LOL! This is too f***ing funny reading all these posts from people who believe that's a real e-mail!!! No surprise Uncle Skinny was hooked though.

Also interesting is how many folks believe Morrissey said this: "G-enormous tabloid coverage of my animal rights comments".

Which would be an overt admission that animal rights comments are more about hyping his own products. I think an argument can be made that a lot of Morrissey's extemist political statements are related to marketing product, but I sure don't think he'd come out and say that. Yet it's interesting (and telling) that so many of his bigger sycophants would not raise an eyebrow at such an admission.

Good call.

I was very proud of myself for resisting the urge to slate him, but thank you for that partial release.

To be honest, I just got back from vacation and read the start of the thread and then saw toward the end the bold claims made. I love stuff like that...

It's a load of junk. Davidt's site here is, like Coca-Cola, the real thing.

Me too. You can have a gut feeling, be circumspect, or you can wade right in and nail your flag to the mast. Guess we can see what happened there...

Best Wishes,

It was real!

Morrissey owns the copyright of the letter!


I wonder who leaked it?

 

[Pit Maravich]

I've missed the mail. Could anyone please PM me the text?

can someone pigeon mail me too?

 

[wolve]

the email can still be read on the mainpage of morrissey-solo.com ...

Well, couldn't it be that Morrissey & co wanted that rumour of such a letter to stop? And therefore the whole lawyer-thing... I mean, it could be taken for granted that when lawyers get involved the chance of the letter being real rises, but still...Well, who's got a strange feeling as well?

Why would he appoint LA lawyers if he lives in Italy now?

Cause his management company are still based over there?
