we’re here, and it’s now. So ….
You’re talking about people like yourself who can’t face the uncomfortable truth about Morrissey, right?
What ‘uncomfortable truth’? That though he’s had some dogs, he’s actually a cat person?

Every time I think you can’t possibly make a cornier post, you somehow manage to plumb a new depth. Great job.What ‘uncomfortable truth’? That though he’s had some dogs, he’s actually a cat person?

He’s much more significant than that.Oh lighten up, Verso. Morrissey is not the world.
He’s much more significant than that.

You’re so crude.
I was paraphrasing Bill Shankly, who recognised that football both accepted and transcended mere issues of life and death.you can’t leave it there. And I’ll probably agree with you. But In what ways, how do mean?
Still waiting for Nerak to explain the halal/ISIS comment to me. I’m sure it has something to do with homophobia in 1992 or whatever.

Single songs, magical performances, a confounding identity, and the ebbs and flows of his career, provide a similar access to those ultimate realities; in a manifold of ways, and mediums: He’s a shaman—for those who have the shining. And an emetic for those who are limited to, and by, the world.
What, like the last of the famous intershamanical playboys, you mean?Yes,yes, and yes. Though, If one is not moved by and so recognizes M’s mojo, then it may be difficult for them to see M as shaman especially when he himself attaches himself to/identifies with the material world, more or less.
Also, I don’t know what the future holds, but can M be one of the last great shamanic playboys ?
What do you good folks think?

What an absolute load of shit. Not that I expected any different, I just wanted to see if you’d actually stoop low enough. “A meme he’s picked up,” wow.I can't be arsed with you - but it's either a meme he's picked up or hyperbole - & as he's literally just complaining about religious authorities being allowed to break laws & also mentioned other traditions & has been against all forms of animal cruelty his entire career, it's no different to complaining about gay marriages not being allowed in Catholic churches. The Vatican isn't going to change its stance but it's not anti-Catholic to wish it would.

Yes, I can read. You're conveniently leaving out the offending passage. What does the internet being "full of misinformation" have to do with the words coming out of the man's mouth published on his official site?You can't talk about stopping low when you're spending every day looking for a new person to have a go at.
The internet is full of misinformation.
He did not go on a rant about Islam - he kept talking about animal welfare.

JOHN: Will animal abuse ever stop?
MORRISSEY: Yes. Walk into any major supermarket and you will see how cow’s milk has shrank into to a small corner whilst alternative milks have taken over. Even people who don’t care about animal welfare would rather have rice, oat or cashew milk. The same has happened to eggs. It’s very difficult to locate them now in a supermarket. Obviously I wouldn’t ever buy eggs, but it’s worth taking note of these things.
JOHN: But halal is done in the name of religion.
MORRISSEY: Most murder is! But animals rights must come before religion. Religion must cease to be the ONLY word. I am not interested in what people did ten thousand years ago. I am concerned about what is happening today.
JOHN: Kosher is also very cruel.
MORRISSEY: Very. It, too, must be banned. I am not saying that stunned slaughter is acceptable, because it couldn’t ever be. If you use the term ‘humane slaughter’ then you might as well talk in terms of ‘humane rape’.
People sound very stupid when they mention ‘humane slaughter’.
JOHN: A lot of people can’t afford a vegan diet.
MORRISSEY: I think the point is that we cease to put ourselves first. It is not about what we frivolously want. Every animal even during slaughter fights and kicks until its very last breath. It has one instinct and that is to survive. I stopped watching television because of animal death commercials. I couldn’t allow that into my living space for one more day. I feel liberated without it. They won’t show cigarette commercials but it’s OK to show butchered lambs? And to laugh about it?
