Still here.
I give up.
You mean like every thread Crystal Geezer has ever made?
No it was following something you had said about people feeling they have their own special personal and private relationship with him which reminded of what people say when they are talking about God or Jesus.
People feel Morrissey has saved them, been for them when they were in need of comfort. Reminded me again of Jesus ie, personal saviour.
People also speak of him in revered tones and then worry about upsetting him for fear of his wrath or to keep with religious terms, they he might smite them.
It just got me wondering about the extent that modern day celebrities have become today's religious icons. Not saying anything revelatory I know, but I though it might make for an interesting thread.
*cough*
Except Death Cab For Cutie's version, that is...
never heard that version. but yeah, I suppose your right.
You have if you've heard Morrissey's solo version. Except Morrissey at least gets the lyrics right.

I think it is nice and should be commended that Davie continues to welcome people to the forum.
Davie's the sweetest person here.
