Morrissey is quite different from other pop stars that basically soil on their fans and show no gratitude to their fans for their devotion and support over the years. He has always felt a close bond with his fans and thus he feels he can air his views in the presence of his fans. Morrissey said in the programme “The Importance of being Morrissey” that he felt every time he performed he was having a conversation with people without having the unnecessary displeasure in picking up the phone”. It was something along those lines, which is probably why he airs his views the way in which he does. I don’t see what’s wrong with that? Would you rather he unzipped his trousers and urinated over you? Like what The Sex Pistols did and what Rammstien do? A lot of artists say similar things to Morrissey on stage; I personally don’t see why you would be upset by it, if you dislike it so much why go to any of his performances? He might be a popstar, but he is entitled to this opinion and can air them when and where he likes, it’s called being part of a representative democracy? As I said if you don’t like his views don’t read or listen to them, no one forces you to stand up and take notice, and you do through your own accord. No one asks you to see him live; you do that through your own accord. I have to say I found his Jamie Oliver snipe rather amusing, it added a bit of humour to the whole occasion. What he said is no worse than what Jimmy Carr and Russell Brand say on television week in week out.
