You don't think Morrissey's changed since the Smiths?
No. He's got more wary of the press & his health is worse - but ill & struggling to form relationships was always his thing.

Johnny hasn't really known Morrissey since 1987. They've probably seen each other less than a dozen times since then.Nah, Johnny's said Moz has changed and who knew him better. Who doesn't change between 25 and 60? If you don't change, that'd be weird.

That's change, if not growth. You really think he's frozen in time. And you know more about it than Johnny Marr, who was once his closest friend. Got it.
Who exactly didn't say or write anything more after the talks about a reunion in 2009 in a pub in Manchester and an exchange by email?
Was it Marr or Morrissey and how would you feel if there might have been a real chance for you to reunite?
Still totally loyal when it came to poor Tommy Robinson, brave Anne-Marie Waters and popular Nigel Farage?
You think Johnny Marr has been following Morrissey's solo career like a Morrissey fan?
I've been in the same room as Morrissey more than Marr has in the past 18 years just by going to his gigs.
Journalists keep telling Marr that Moz is fash now - that's the change.
I'm pretty sure they still have friends in common. So you think going to Morrissey's shows means you know him. You're a trip.
Chrissie Hynde?You're pretty sure, aye? Because you know what goes on behind the scenes.
Chrissie Hynde?
Has she?A friend that's told Marr that Morrissey has changed. In a bad way.
Has she?
And Noel Gallagher. Blondie. Marr had coffee with Alain.Chrissie Hynde?
I was intrigued by Alain saying that Moz had "changed for the better", that was quite interesting.
But what strikes me most is what hasn't changed - his depression.
It's true his political compass is all over the place. We know he's expressed a liking for politicians from all sides over the years, even in relatively recent times. Unfortunately, however, his support for Anne Waters's For Britain is the most sustained and unambiguous endorsement he's ever given to anyone in his 40 years of celebrity, and it's still sitting there on his website (and her Wikipedia entry) for anyone to quote from in any Twitter (or other) dispute. He first mentioned her in autumn 2017, he formally endorsed her on his website in 2018 and, just when we thought/hoped he'd decided to never mention her again, in 2019 he actually wore her party's ugly emblem at concerts and on television thereby broadcasting his support to literally millions of people. Unless he formally retracts his support for the ghastly woman and her ugly brand of politics, this current situation will continue indefinitely. Simply saying that he has never voted makes not the slightest bit of difference to his predicament - if it wasn't obvious in 2019, it certainly is now.People who call Morrissey "radical right" have no f***ing idea about politics. A vegan, who detests republicans, is part of the LGBT community etc ... his political compass is kind of all over the place.

Doesn't really need an apology - just a clarification of views which would include a retraction of wholehearted support for right wing politics. A statement could read along the lines of 'throughout my career I've expressed a liking for politicians across the spectrum. It seems however that I am now exclusively associated with the far right which is a clear misrepresentation of my views (etc)'.Do you really think some kind of apology will shut these people up? You gotta be joking!
Morrissey knows this, and that’s why his stance of why bother? i.e., not explaining or apologizing and no interviews, is the one he seems to be taking.
