Re: DavidT speaks about threat
Very measured, cool, and calm response.

Ha well done for jumping blindly to the defense of one of the most pampered over-privileged and protected people alive. It was a murky and awful tale tale wasn't it. Lets face it the woman would be alive if Kate had gone elsewhere. Was there pressure for Clarence house? I imagine they were not at all happy about the leak. Do the family have a history of wielding their power ruthlessly?.... Oh wait yes they do..but lets not mention it because the DJ's can go hang....
Wait...what sick bastard wished death on Morrissey's mother?
"Bring me the head of Elton John, which is one instance in which meat would not be murder, if it were served on a plate."
I suppose the best person to ask would be Elton John. If he found it funny, then fine, if he did not you could just claim he didn't have a sense of humour.
Do you think Kate Middleton employs someone to put salt on her chips too?
Mate...... IT WAS A JOKE YOU OAF.
I think it was Skylarker. I also think it was in poor taste, the darker side of free speech which Morrissey himself partakes in. He can't expect a forum to coddle his image when the tone he sets himself is so very outspoken and brazen, often leaving someone with hurt feelings. That is my opinion.
Utoya too? Chinese subspecies? Support for Argentina's claim on the Falklands on stage in BA? Come on, let's all share these hilarious Morrissey bon mots, as you are privy to his innermost thoughts.

He sets the tone for you does he? Or do you set it yourself?
What?
the funny thing is that the Chinese, at least the ones here on the mainland, took no perceptible notice that Moz said anything at all about themChinese subspecies As you well know this is about context and the quote is always purposefully taken out of context- he said "you can't help but feel (after watching dogs being skinned alive) that the Chinese are a subspecies (meaning they are inhumane for not preventing and for allowing such cruelty).
The point is you can't have it both ways you can't say "the tone he sets himself is so very outspoken and brazen, often leaving someone with hurt feelings." and then when you yourself hurt someones feeling use Morrissey's "tone" as justification for the hurt. If you think hurting peoples feelings is wrong, just don't do it. If you think its okay don't criticize Morrissey when he does it.
You can criticize something AND use it as justification or use it as justification AND then criticize it. Set your own tone. Grow up.
Morrissey's complaint about this site is that it is so LOW. Morrissey's criticism is that this place is hateful. That the moderators don't take care to insure only positive, uplifting comments and stories are posted. Yet Morrissey has free reign to rip the royalty a new asshole? What part of WE HATE WILLIAM AND KATE is promoting the love and empathy he lacks? And should someone not support his ideas they are not a "true fan?" NEVERMIND the very concept of allegiance and unquestioning loyalty is the backbone of what he detests in the royals? Do you see what I'm saying?
Having said this, I have empathy for Morrissey that more objective thinkers may not. I am under the impression he's been exposed to poorly conceived ideas that he is mirroring in his own thoughts. For years I was brainwashed and just parroted the ideas of another in my circle for the cocaine that was a 2 second empty nod of approval that made me feel I was on the right path when I wasn't. There are probably seven to eight layers of politics in every TTY statement. Something to keep the family happy. Something to keep the band happy. Something to keep the label happy. Something to make him feel like his pain is heard. Add it all up and it becomes a mess of conflicting ideas. He'd NEVER order David hurt or killed, yet the jab that he isn't worth his thought? That's politics. So I feel pain in my heart for how COMPLICATED Morrissey's every utterance is, that he hardly is allowed to be himself and he dips into a mask of being an outlandish attacker. But the pain of having his feelings hurt by comments on solo is still real. I want to hold that mess of ideas and emotion and stupidity and intelligence and soothe him. I could be wrong of course. I don't know him.
That was beautifully put, CG. I've always viewed some (certainly not all) of Morrissey's harsher statements in the context of who he is feeling empathy/sympathy for that motivates him to attack someone. More often than not there's an underlying, unspoken defense of someone (be it animals, bandmates or even the general voiceless public). He's a complex, emotional guy that's given more of himself than any of us here ever will.

In all fairness I think he has do more than just put 'salt' on Morrissey's 'chips.'
And (I suspect) he talks to ghosts. That in itself is exhausting, but keeping the real people in life happy on top of that can't be easy while maintaining some semblance of a public image that schizophrenically teeters between tommy-gun wielding mob boss to delicate yet stern, lovelorn wisp of a lady clawing to get out of a man's body. Nothing is easy for him. The brutes here often have it all figured out, how his campaigns should be run, what interviews he should do, whose shirt he should wear. What they don't get is that a car moving as fast as Morrissey's shifts gears SO FAST to pin him down and have him be consistently one person or another like this artist or that artist or so-and-so is IMPOSSIBLE. He's not like us. And it's not that he's a diva, he's not entirely human. But he's trying to be.
