Re: New on TTY: "Music awards are none of your business."
Drivel.
Drivel.
I read it fast but other than Macdonna its a pretty sound piece of writing.
The Brit Awards are pure scour and I'm happy to see Moz ranting against it yet again. He could have done it all in one short paragraph though. Obviously he bemoans the death of popular music and who can blame him. When I hear people say 'but you have to admire Simon Cowell for his ingenuity' I want to throttle them. Ant and Dec are shite too and have no place presenting music awards. But the Brits hasn't been watchable since the magnificent Suede broke the microphone back in 1993 after 'Animal Nitrate'. No proper bands left any more. The best we can hope for these days are one hit wonders who couldn't make a good album if their life depended on it. Of course the problem is that their life doesn't depend on it.
Can't find Morrissey's denunciation of the BRIT awards in 2005 when he was nominated in the category British Male Solo Artist. Can anybody find his immediate rejection of this nomination, prior to the results? Or his denunciation of the Grammys in 92? Again, prior to the results.
"Music awards are none of your business
So would you kindly keep your nose out
The BRITS must profit and get richer..."
OK, so Morrissey thinks nobody should vote for politicians but complains about the fact that people aren't allowed to vote in the BRITS? Can anybody see the logic/rationality problem with this? I'm struggling with how Morrissey is against direct voter democracy for trivialities like saving the NHS and stopping gratuitous wars but incandescent with rage because nobody can vote for WPINOYB in the BRITS 2015. Do people have no sense of priorities!? Or is Morrissey just a delusional prat with a massive chip on his shoulder about commercial failure and a barely concealed contempt for popular tastes in music?
" The Brit Awards do not ask the public who they would like to see receive awards - for that would be to risk too much" Morrissey

ps: It's a close contest between Kanye and Morrissey for the biggest bitch/sore loser on the planet. Kanye edges it, but only because he's full-on delusional and has the guts to make a total fool of himself in front of a global audience, whereas Morrissey just sort of...whines.....in the distance. Maybe they should join forces. Kaynessey.
Why is it that only ideas-free and factory-farmed 'personalities' are encouraged? Is it simply because we are all easier to govern as long as we are free of any content? Well, yes.
Even though nominated I don't think he bothered attending in 2005 did he? Usually even nominees go and use the chance to push their barrow somewhat. Also invited to duet with Robbie Williams at the Brits which he also turned down. I don't think he's that interested in a Brit award TBH and I suspect you already know this as well as you seem to have been a long term fan or at the very least still follow his every move and spend a tremendous amount of time dissecting his career and every utterance in great detail.
I think he did attend that Grammy's though? So I suspect he'd have glided up on stage if he'd nabbed the prize. I really wish he'd desist from these rants though. His position on the Brits is well known.
Look at me! Look at me! I'm still here! And I'm commenting on a current event! I'm being controversial! I'm IN THE NEWS.
Jesus f***ing Christ. This schtick is so, so old and hackneyed.
Make a record. Be good. Sell it.
