Never be afraid to call a c*** a c*** despite the art which you may enjoy.
Oh I’m not but I’m also careful to not jump on bandwagons and to try and be fair. Kerouac was a terrible father but I love his books, Bukowski was admittedly a terrible person but Ive a shelf full of his stuff, iggy pop wrote a song about sleeping with a child but I still own it. I do think all this morrissey hate kinda verges on hysterical when compared to some of these other actions and don’t get the disproportionate response people seem to have to him and his running on at the mouth. He’s a diva for sure but so are a lot of artists and when all is said and done I don’t think morrissey racist or really that culturally biased. I don’t think he believes the white race somehow genetically superior to others, possesses any hates for them fear or disgust. I mostly just think him a clumsy speaker in interviews, maybe that’s different face to face I can’t say, who can be over the top with his public comments and and an I’ll informed cranky man but not a racist. He’s also an extremely emotional person which probably helps him put his foot in his mouth a lot of the time. A truely racist culturally biased person wouldn’t tour the places he does and he has enough money to not need to. He makes comments about different cultures religions etc but it’s usually specific and not about his own cultures superiority. I do the same. There are many places I wouldn’t want to live because I think the culture barbaric and many of them are in the Middle East. I guess to sum it up I think morrissey just an emotional genuinely concerned sometimes unknowledgeable person who makes clumsy statements unconcerned and unused to not shooting his mouth off. If we didn’t live in this politically charged moment where everyone gets lumped together with extremists I don’t think a lot of these arguments amongst fans would be unfolding the way they have been. If his being dumb or clumsy on these topics makes people not that into him I would understand but the hate or the idea that he’s now racist I can’t get behind. I just don’t see that
