time marker 1.30 -1.35 proof Morrissey REALLY Cares about his fans. (he stops to take time in the middle of a song while on stage to read a letter from a fan)
'And the songs we sing.they're not supposed to mean a thing.'A reference to football hooligan mentality of the song's subjects or to the lack of depth and meaning demanded of pop singers, a subject so close to Morrissey's heart? Morrissey walks a slippery tightrope. Realising serious comment regarding race issues is impossible if he wishes to have a career he is forced into endless nudges,winks and artistic flirtation with nationalism. .We are the last truly British people you will ever know'
People who run up on stage and hug Morrissey are like lightning bugs: miniscule and beautiful. The miniscule part makes me sad, as I am sad for (the inconsequence of) lightning bugs. The beautiful part I mean sincerely: they flitter in front of our view, then flitter forever away out of our view, beautiful, like lightning bugs.
This is my favourite Mozzer period. Amazing songs, heartfelt lyrics, and a sublime mediation on what it is to be English in the (then) modern age. And how do they repay him?.......HES A RACIST!
@paul45862 That's bullshit! Morrissey despises racism and has said it in the press. What he talks about is the inability of racial integration and how immigration has caused some foreign people to start imposing their own cultural values on people who don't want them (e.g. Islamic law). Your Arsenal is my favourite album by him by far - afterwards his music became more subdued until You Are The Quarry.
22 years for me, following this man. He says things which no other star can say. We'll let you know (onus on the giver), but the balance relies on the listener. Are you intersested? It's bloody genius.
Amazing how some people take one line from the song and then think they have the whole meaning of the song worked out. Morrissey's just too intelligent for some people.
Moz, you're soothing voice have been with me throughout my childhood, relationships, marriage, divorce, and the good times and bad. I've seen you twice in your concerts, I love you man, you are family
mgg80, you big bundle of love, ya. i was having a really shit couple of days, emotionally. listening to songs, crying, getting pissed. (thought i'd managed to quit the demon drink ...ahh, well). i'm not feeling as sad, at this very second. sure it will return though, that bloody black cloud of hopelessness. thank you for caring. not many people do in the world anymore.
the sadness has returned, ofcourse. i'm not gonna drink again, that was just a minor blip after months of being sober. what i am going to do is go to the doctors like i should've done years ago when the depression, self-harming, and then thoughts of suicide started. i've been too close, too many times. if i am to have any hope of a normal life, i need help. i'm talking to myself here: GET TO THE FUCKING DOCTORS. its on youtube now, i have to do it.
hey, you know? You should conquer this thing and then post about it over here. There´ll be more than a happy person to receive such news. Go for it mate.

I would love Morrissey to record an album of songs by Skrewdriver.
'Hail the New Dawn', 'Tomorrow belongs to Me', and 'The Voice of Britain' would be particularly well-suited to receiving the Morrissey treatment.
We can but hope.

His work is so "English". One of the last few artists who's music defines a cult. An artist by definition.

I am not really interested, I would not want to know him, he is not "truly British" and his racism is disgusting and unacceptable.
