What’s strange is that when he passes, morrissey will of course respectfully acknowledge him and his life. So his need to publicly disparage M’s character is beyond me.

Where did he disparage his character?
Unless I missed it, he simply said he “doesn’t like the guy”.

Even though he didn't go into specifics as to why he doesn't like him, just saying that he doesn't like him in the press....gives negative connotations. And by not saying why, it leaves that open for anyone to fill in the blank as to the reason. Imaginations run wild.
 
Kinda like that song he had about
"I wear fringe/ like Roger McGuinns".
The name of the song will probably
come once I stop thinkin' about it.
'Consolation Prize' yeah love that song. The Glasgow School is a great album by Orange Juice if you can get it. It was Orange Juice 'Hatful of Hollow'.
 
Morrissey would have appeared to Collins as having unapologetically borrowed his use of vernacular, whether it's true or not would be hard to say. I'm not sure if there's any evidence the Postcard sound entered the young Morrissey's head?

....when he passes?

I know that Edwyn has been very ill with strokes and so on in the past, but I thought he was recovering well - is that not the case? He and Moz are the same age... would rather not tempt fate over who goes first.
 
yes i think it's icky to support someone so Conservative nowadays. humansexual is a homophobic label
So, someone like you can self identify with 'they', but Morrissey can't call himself what he chooses?
 
It would never have occurred to me that anyone would think that The Smiths had stolen Orange Juice’s “sound”.

The Smiths sound awesome. Orange Juice sound… meh.
