From the Chicago Tribune's Riot Fest preview section:

Thursday will be capped with a headlining performance by singer-songwriter Morrissey, a controversial choice added in late August after Nine Inch Nails dropped out — and who has made more headlines recently for his racist, anti-immigrant rants than his music. Yet, despite his personal politics, the musician always seems to bring in the crowds, though whether they’ll celebrate with the same joy as previous years is still unknown.

 

[Harsh Truth]

Does he go on first in the afternoon? Last in the evening?

Surely you can't be serious.

Where are all these racist anti-immigrant rants they think they've been assailed with?

All he ever does is make convoluted points which they'll take a half a sentence from.

And he's not spoken to any professional journalist since 2017.
