He would look better without jet black hair as it makes him look really old. He dresses young and he looks young from afar but up close the dye really accentuates his wrinkles. A lighter chestnut brown would be better.

The whole point is to look good on stage, which he does. He’s got silver streaks in there as well.

His head looks 9 times too big for his body. He is a weird looking f***er. There is an odour of plastic that lingers off of him.

Excuse me, that’s the perfume of genius.

When he lasers this off his neck, I'll know it's over.

Johnny does have some rather cool tattoos - as noticed by Amy before. But the swallow on his neck has nowt to do with Our Moz?

Johnny and tattoos

So Johnny posted this on Facebook for Aldous Huxley's birthday - and I can't take my eyes off the tattoos, he must have loads now? He seemed to start with these when he was about 45 and keep adding to them. I remember him saying that Moz really liked them but I'm more towards the "midlife...

'Mid-life crisis'... I still stand by that assessment, haha! He definitely went a bit overboard. And the swallow, well - I'm sure it could symbolize many things for your average tattoo enthusiast but when he posted a video on Instagram showing it off, he captioned it "A swallow on my neck." Then swiftly changed it to "some gargles are bigger than others" because he was gargling mouthwash or something at the time. Too much of a coincidence for me. And when you think that he has tattoos in honour of all his family, kids, heroes like Huxley etc, I don't see anything incongruous in having a Smiths/Moz related one in there.

first perfume genius IS genius

two dont make fun of skinny people, we do our best to not look like bobble heads in our old age

three theres no dressing like an adult anymore. work home boundaries exist sure but age has naught to do with it. im forty five wearing an inuyasha shirt black nails and a black leather jacket (i know ive since rethought my stance on laether but the jacket is cool) with a self made sorta undercut sorta side fade haircut and no one bats an eye and im not some eccentric tolerated by the town. the idea that age is gonna be reflected by clothing is a thing of the past. all for the better as well.

Johnny’s been on fire with his career! He’s got a limited edition Gibson coming out on top of the 2 signature Martin acoustics last year. These will benefit cancer charity.

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

Johnny’s been on fire with his career!

Because he has a loyal fan base from The Smiths, a fan base that he hasn’t alienated, so they want to actively support him and his career. MOZI could have had it all, and more. If it wasn’t for that pesky estate agent…
