he was this person - whether he still is now is debatable. This video is from 35 years ago - ie: half a lifetime. Is anyone exactly the same person they were 35 years ago? Don't people change, grow, alter their thinking and behaviour over several decades? Has Morrissey really been frozen in amber, unchanging for all these years? Be a bit odd - wouldn't it?

For what I know, parts fall away and grow inside a person and the main parts still exist. So the overriding features that Morrissey was are there but maybe have developed in other ways that are different from how he was. It happens to everyone
Yes. But you are here. Why? Because of what he is now? No. Because of what he was then.he was this person - whether he still is now is debatable.

Nobody is exactly the person they were 35 or however many years ago, yet in essence we remain the same imo.he was this person - whether he still is now is debatable.

This obsession with wanting Morrissey to be the same person he was 35 years ago is just weird.

Nobody there knows him personally. And discuss, what kind of person he is. Very funny. Funny bunny

So freeze Morrissey in The Smiths and only be a fan of that time? I prefer The Smiths but that still seems ridiculous.

I straighten up, and my position is one of hope.
Being depressed and feeling maladjusted since childhood takes its toll on a person. Add to that betrayals (real or perceived), profound losses and countless disappointments and you’ll probably end up pretty f***ed up and far from who you were when you were in your 20s.
I don’t really like who he’s become (or seem to have become) nor do I like what it’s done to his art, but I can understand why the situation is what it is.

Sure, but don’t you think that anyone who has felt only depression and feelings of maladjustment would have killed themselves by now?
So what’s keeping him here?
Gregor, I think you’re forgetting that even Morrissey experiences joy and the rewards of his many achievements. Don’t you think that this would also shape the person he is today?

I’m not so sure. But of course he has experienced lots of joy etc. But I think the darkness has been the dominating force and that is why he now seems colder, more cynical, more crass and whatnot. It takes its toll.
