I’m not keen on him. He’s a bit of an idiot and his views are inconsistent.

Like some of his music. Disagree with a lot of his politics.
That’s about it really. Thankfully I’m able to separate the art from the artist.

Age has not improved him!
Awful in the 80’s still awful now

Musically an utter legend in my eyes and one of the best lyricists of all time. Adore The Smiths and his solo work. My avatar is a Tenth Doctor take on Moz that Titan Comics had as a cover variant a few years ago.
As an individual, he’s certainly unique. I don’t agree with many of his views and I think he’s intentionally and unfairly misinterpreted on many others. Undoubtedly he can be naive and narrow minded, particularly where politics are concerned. And he’s desperately in need of some proper management and publicity that doesn’t involve his nephew.
Can’t wait to see him live again in October.

He continues to be more interesting than most, even if I don't agree with all his views.
Funnily enough, I didn't appreciate The Smith's until their early demise and then had a lot of listening to do.
I actually prefer solo Morrissey, which I know isn't a universal view. His early singles (and some of his later ones) are magnificent, and albums such as Viva Hate, Bona Drag, Southpaw Grammar and You Are The Quarry are brilliant.
He wrote a book a couple of years ago. Forgotten the title, but it's one of the weirdest things I ever (half) read. Maybe I'll finish it one day!

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

When you consider some of the horrible people whose work still gets read - Roald Dahl, Simone de Beauvoir, Sir Thomas Mallory - I do think that Morrisey, walking Twitter though he may be, gets a bit of a raw deal.

I think he's great, but then I'm a bit of a cynical misanthrope as well. His biggest issue is he doesn't feel the need to defend himself to anyone to the degree it can be to his detriment. If the press accused him of being a paedophile and a murderer he'd take no notice.
I'm in the group that prefers his solo material to that of The Smiths but both are awesome. Too many favourites to list!

Too many favourites to list! He once compared meat-eating to paedophilia. That’s just an example of how inconsistent views as he supports a far-right party, yet supported Hillary Clinton and even said that if there was a button that would make Donald Trump drop dead, he’d readily press it. |

I know it's probably the wrong answer but I see a lot of humour in what he says and in his song lyrics and don't take him too literally. Like I say he doesn't go out of his way to be understood. His politics are strange given that he also once wrote a song called Margaret on the Guillotine. The only thing he's consistent with are his animal rights views and he's probably called meat eaters, hunters and various other animals abusers far worse. I eat meat and am not offended by what he says. I actually respect him for it. Animals needs all the defenders they can get! As for hypocrisy there is a little bit of it in every single one of us, and it took me a long, long time to accept that. It's unavoidable. |
