Andy and Johnny also called him dorrissey.

Hmmm, does this mean we can call him Doz or Dozzer? I kind of like Doozer.

It was a long time ago and he's been called worse

 

[gashonthenail]

this nickname has been doing the rounds for 40 years
wasn't it created by a cabal of homophobic journalists at the NME?

It's not like Johnny, Matt J, or Andy (RIP) were rough-and-tough dudes in their prime anyways. Honestly, not even close.

Regardless of the gender you identify as or who you prefer to go to bed with, English artists - who are male - have always seemed to blur those kind of lines, no matter their tastes. I would think this is correct for many "true artists" anyway, as art has really nothing (yet, on the surface, seemingly everything) to do with sex
