Morrissey the 23rd
Banned
Morrissey - who actually can't vote in the U.S. - weighs in on the 2008 presidential election nonetheless. Here's an excerpt of a Guardian review of one of his recent shows:
The Mancunian emigré follows up 'The World Is Full of Crashing Bores' with a rant against 'Billary' Clinton and an endorsement for the candidate who could be the first black man in the White House. 'God Bless Barack Obama,' he concludes, enunciating every consonant pointedly, as though daring anyone to misunderstand.
So if Barack Obama, or God forbid, the wretched, race-baiting Hillary, is elected president, will he have to change the lyrics to "America Is Not the World," in which he sings, "America...where the president is never black, female, or gay..."
