This is what it's going to be like from now on. A reliance on any tangential media mention you can get as a signal of relevance. But then that's what you have to do when your records don't sell. You'll be seeing many more of these.
And yet Morrissey fans have always loved this kind of thing. Anytime we heard anything Morrissey or Smiths related on TV we recorded it, we shared it, it made us happy.
You used to be that guy too.
Morrissey has repeatedly been without record deals and has repeatedly come out of that and then done just fine.
He has some dates scheduled already this year and hopefully will ad some more.
Anytime he wants to go out, make a ton of money, do what he loves most - sing live and then go sleep in his 10,000 count sheets he can.
And what do you get out of life? You take your repeated, flaccid jabs at Morrissey to an audience of a few hundred people.
If you think you are winning or making a difference or harming Morrissey in some way then you clearly wield an imaginary power.
It must be a shame to only listen to The Draize Train, Money Changes Everything and Oscillate Wildly as clearly if you were to listen to Morrissey sing you'd end up in a drooling, catatonic stupor.
Also, if you think Morrissey doesn't have a record deal because no one will work with him you are mistaken. Morrissey could get a deal right this second if he was willing to do a 360 deal which allows the label to get a percentage of everything he does during the length of the deal. Many artists are popular because they sign these deals and the record label will do everything in their power to promote it because it's a windfall of money. Morrissey has already said he won't sign a deal like that.
