yeah RIP AA, and that Morrisey piece is, as you say superb, Morrisey is really such a talentless fkwit

I don't think he is talentless. Far from it.

He's arrogant, self-entitled, obnoxious but he is a very talented performer and song writer.

'Hang the DJ....' shudder.... Couldn't stand Morrisey's doom & gloom & political rubbish, particularly given the amount of cash he made. Usual hypocritical champagne socialist pop 'star'. Gill was right.

I'm not disputing that he is a painful and obnoxious man. But I think he is talented from a musical perspective.

I guess it depends on whether you are able to emotionally distance yourself between a political stance you disagree with and artistic talent.

To misquote Gill himself, I'm sure we can all agree that Morrissey is a wonderful musician, just a really second-rate human being.

The Smiths are overrated and his solo work hasn't exactly set the world on fire.

I don't care about his politics, and I still think his music is crap. Its just pop music at the end of the day, sung by a singer who takes himself far too seriously.

Quite.

Can I suggest that Morrissey comments are made on the Musicians who are s thread, and this one is kept on topic?
