Morrissey Tells Russell Brand Not To Get Married

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

The Sun, Katy Perry, crashing bores, crashing bores...

I actually like Russell, and if he's in love good for him & I hope they have a beautiful wedding and long happy marriage. But for f*ck's sake, surely the fact that this went right over her head is reason to call the whole thing off? I can only imagine the eyerolling if Morrissey sees this article and her comment.

I agree. Oh, the fuss ol' Mozza can cause with only seven words. He's a hoot and a half, isn't he? I reckon he'll go, but I can't imagine him singing for them somehow.

 

[Barking]

Why does he do it?
Well I guess it's only to get the attention back on himself. Normally you focus on and fuss over the bride and groom to be. With Morrissey in the room, there's serious competition.

The reasons why he's turned into an anti-holy matrimony crusader in old age are anybody's guess. I'm sure the controlling bullshiter in him could provide you with an impressive list compiled from what he has already said on the subject (from the 1984 stylee paranoia of it being a way for «governments to control you» to marriage being an exchanges of services). You yourself could take the bait and talk about his mum and dad's divorce, his dislike of breeding normality, his boyfriend, whatever. You could have a nice conversation going in circles. You'd ask «why?» he'd say «because» or give freaky arguments you'd feel the need to contradict.

That's Controlling Morrissey, ( «I'd like to control you as I try to control myself» -and fail, doh-) who needs the attention just as much as Woe is Me Morrissey. Woe is Me is there right behind and he's the one pulling the strings really, because the need to remind everyone he's a lonely sad bastard who's going nowhere and can't even rejoice for a friend is so strong, it's taking over sometimes.

Deep inside, Woe is Me knows noone is going to be fooled, but I bet over teacups Morrissey asked Katy loads of trick questions. All the while screaming inwardly «me me me, look at me!» Doesn't look like Katy bought it though. Good girl.

Must be hard to watch Russ, his fan, (an ex-junky for God's sake!) leaving his mum to get married and probably have kids. It's never really nice to watch younger people grow up before you when you thought they'd remain fickle buffons at your feet forever; is it.

Well I'm afraid it is all too clear. Everything, from butcher-like PAs to collapsing on stage to just being rude, has a very simple explanation, with Morrissey. There's a good chance this one is not far off the truth.

You wonder how he's not terribly bored with himself yet and how he still has friends.

But he got everybody's attention and once more to him it's all that matters. For a brief moment, among these lovely young happy hip people with their lives still before them, we looked at him. And Rick Astley.

That's a crabby jab, Barking.

I was never a fan of Russell, but since learning of his obvious love for Moz, I've warmed to him. Like he said, if people don't like the Smiths, he doesn't like them. It's not a conscious decision )

Your analysis is interesting if bitter, but let's look at the people involved. Russell Brand has shagged around more than Hugh Hefner, and you want anyone to seriously believe he's reformed from his ways and will settle peacefully into marital monogamy with a Californian dullard like Perry? Come on . Morrissey can see their marriage for the misguided sham that it is, and that's all.

Well said, I seriously doubt this marriage will go the distance, I give it a year at the most.

I think the (gutter) press like to make these things out as if they are real, where in reality, it's obviously just a joke that most men play on each other all the time, it's almost part of the ritual of marriage (don't do it, your life will be ruined, blah blah). They try to make out as if Morrissey has summoned Russell and Katy to a meeting like some disgruntled, disapproving parent, whereas really, they probably just sat and had a cup of tea together and the marriage subject was just talked about in a light-hearted way. As for how long it lasts, time will tell. I'd hate to be cynical and nasty, it's their life to live their own way, I'm sorely tempted to but I'll reserve my judgement for now. All things said, I do actually find Russell more attractive to look at than his wife-to-be.

Exactly.

Outrageous cheek from the great man..poetic or not I'd have told him to sling his hook.

you would have drank your tea first though and left Moz to foot the bill

Well I've been to the Morrissey School of Crabby Bitterness, and I got my diploma! (sulks).

(They even offered me a teaching post)

One thing I didn't notice is that Russell Brand is 10 years older than Katy Perry....

A 10 years difference is about right for men and women to reach an equal level of maturity...

(Counter-example: Morrissey, who, if he became heterosexual, would have to date a 4 year-old to have a perfect match.)

 

[Happy Maudlin]

"Katy added: "It would be great to have him at the wedding but I told him, 'We can't have a Mr Misery like you messing things up.' "What an idiot.I hate her and her dreadful music.And she is ugly.

I despise her as well. Truly do.

 

[DAVIE]

I think they have definately rushed into the engagement though...they've only been with each other a few months! I've been with my girlfriend for a year and still not really thought about getting engaged. Maybe their conscious about something or maybe just playing it up for some sick "fame riser"

Nice - no
Accurate - maybe
Funny - yes

Katy is as dim as a 5 watt light bulb.A typical spoilt, american brat!The truth is that if she was british she wouldn't be marrying with Russell as she would be too aware of his lifestyle the way every other british woman is. She is just too self-involved and self-important to bother doing a little bit of homework on who she is marrying.She has no real comprehension of what his lifestyle was before or what is really going on inside his head as regards this marriage.The reality is that as soon as the sprogs are out Russell will be off. It is all about experience for him -'Oh yeah done the manogamy and kids thing. whats next'. That is his attitude to everything.I dont feel sorry for her though. She cant sing, her lyrics are awful and her music videos are just...well shit basically.She shoudln't even be famous.

 

[DAVIE]

Men usually pick thicker women as their partners...this is what Russell has done, except to the extreme!
You should watch some of their interviews!

Why waste such emotions on her....?

Right. I've managed to resist asking that question for hours. Have to give in:
-Oh no I can't it's too cheeky.(starts chasing tail to cope with bipolar stress)
