worships Johnny Thunders
This is pretty ridiculous. He never once mentions homosexuality, although points for coming to rthe correct conclusion that Morrissey IS gay, which some people are still in denial about. You have to perform hula hoops of logic and artful deliberate misinterpretation to view what he saiod as somehow anti-gay. What he seemks to be saying, and what i get is that rollins doesn';t really like morose, brooding music, or people, that he's an energetic, go-for-it kinda guy and that stuff turns him off. Honestrly I would pretty much expect that from (one of) the former singer for Black Flag. Morrissey IS sort of a professional miserablist, thats' just a fact. I shoul;d also point out that throughout his career Rollins has been a consistant defender of gay rights. Moreobver, i don't thionk he really dislikes Moz that much, like that guy said, if he did, he wouldn't play the video. As supported by the quote from the other rollins thread: "I don't hate the Smiths or the Cure at all. I think -- especially Morrissey -- is very creative and brilliant. It's that downward spiral, down in the mouth thing they had going for years which I could just not leave alone. I had to take a couple of shots at it. But I hold no malice toward either party at all."
You are my new hero. Preach that gospel!
