So true. Whilst others yielded and deferred he held his course.Apparently not, for some these days
What he was once loved for, he is now loathed.

The Last Of The Famous International Showgirls surely...? {"Moulin Rouge" Etc}

I used to have a different one but I forgot the password for that account.No, 'cos that name's even longer than the one you already have...
Yep. People simply don’t have the empathy or compassion to try and put themselves in his shoes. Morrissey is not a lawyer or music business mogul, and dealing with the stress of the business for an artist is not a good headspace to be in when you’re trying to be creative. Morrissey is a true artist, not perfect, messed up, and that’s how I like mine.
He has always been detached from any reality, other than his own.He was detached from reality in his Stretford bubble, in his Sloane Square bubble, in his Bowdon bubble, in his Camden bubble, and so on.

Long may he reign

Morrissey admits he's difficult - there's a difference between that & hysterical bullshit stories in the press that people who still haunt this site appear to believe yet don't have the self-respect to move on to an artist whose publicity they prefer.
I’ve never thought of morrissey as detached, ever...
He’s always been a couple of years ahead of most folks in his thinking or his views...
This is why the media have struggled with him.. hence many a battle...
After the Smiths he was a lot more savvy about how things work in pop land, so he’s been nobody’s fool ever since.... he knows how to make his art, and don’t take any crap from anyone.....
I admire people who know what they want and then go get it ...
Damon is most certainly not Morrissey’s bodyguard:
Damon is Moz PA and bodyguard.
Moz is flush and can afford. Lawnmowers will never understand as they are skint and refuse to work
£750 for Viva Hate? Are you serious? WTF!!
Tony has done a lot of great things for musicians in Manchester, but seemed to not really like M, so I’m sure whatever he says needs to be taken with a grain of salt. We will never know what happened until we can see the contracts and what was the agreement between the artists, and hear both sides of the story to understand the reasons for the decisions behind this, what is so far, just gossip.

The truth is, we could only assume things and form opinions, but unfortunately so far we will never know what really happened.
We must be fair if we are going to judge the affairs of strangers. Mere gossip.
So it’s best to wait and not be so one sided and negative, which as we can see is the easiest thing to do, it is the low road.
Let’s be better than that.

Sorry, it was 800. Here's the interview with Tony Wilson, Vini's deal is talked about towards the end, but all of it is fascinating.
Moz is as tight as a duck's arse. And that's watertight. Don't let yourself make excuses for him. Tony Wilson might not have liked Morrissey but Tony was honest and real and didn't forget his roots. He called things as he saw them. I believe him. Morrissey wouldn't pay for a glass of water in the desert.Tony has done a lot of great things for musicians in Manchester, but seemed to not really like M, so I’m sure whatever he says needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

To be paid whatever had been agreed. Moz's mother answered the phone and told Street that he'd already been paid enough. I'm not saying anything against Moz's lovely mother there. I do think that Moz doesn't like parting with money though.
In 1988? The only thing that’s changed about any of that is that his mother is dead now.Most likely, the contractual arrangement were as bad in 1988 as they were during the time of the Smiths. Morrissey had a manager around that time that he didn't get along with, he hadn't found a professional team that he could trust, and his mother was still looking after his business in the background. Of course, S. Street was right when he asked for these arrangements to be clearly spelled out on paper.
