Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted October 7, 2014 “They have scraped cancerous tissues four times already, but whatever,” Morrissey told El Mundo, via the Morrissey-Solo messageboard. “If I die, then I die" It's amazing he hasn't already had that as one of his song titles.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 28, 2014 He's supposed to play in the TivoliVredenburg theatre in Utrecht tonight. According to a Dutch news web site one part of his contract stipulates that neither meat nor fish is served in the theatre all day. This caused some grumbling among pianist playing in a competition there, and the judges, regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted August 20, 2015 Now does he mean he has Barrett's oesophagus, or he has oesophagus cancer caused by Barrett's oesophagus. The former means nothing to focus on. The latter would definitely put him on a proper watchlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The latter would definitely put him on a proper watchlist. Yes, that's what I wondered as well. The next interviewer should ask him more clearly about this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, that's what I get for trying to flesh out my own post in a half-assed way. I guess my brain took that short-cut because Morrissey has occasionally been part of the Britain for the British crowd.

Ah, that's what I get for trying to flesh out my own post in a half-assed way. I guess my brain took that short-cut because Morrissey has occasionally been part of the Britain for the British crowd. This is the bit where he talks about Obama's support for the police Referring to recent civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, which began after the fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Michael Brown by a white police officer, Morrissey said Barack Obama had “disappointed lots of people” because of his insistence that the police are always right. He said: “I don’t think with places like Ferguson and so on that [Obama has] really helped his own people by being more interested in forgetting about the police machinery and constantly saying ‘the police are always right’, ‘we must listen to the police’, when everybody knows that’s not true. “So is Obama, is he white inside? That’s a very logical question, but I think he probably is.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He loves Carry On movies and gritty northern kitchen sink dramas about grim lives, so it could go in that direction.Bear in mind there are loads of Smiths' lyrics nicked word for word from those films...."the dream has gone but the baby is real"....send me the pillow, the pillow you dream on" etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's also right to pity them and be upset at their death. In some cases I agree such as you find out you have a horrible disease that will lead to a horrible death.Also cases such as self sacrifice that leaders in military battles sometimes carry out is I suppose admirable.Many cases of suicide though result from severe mental illness when someone is not in a fit state of mind to logically think through the situation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted September 24, 2015 Enjoying the absolute shellacking Morrissey's DDP-tribute novel, List of the Lost, is getting in the press today. “Whoever put the pain in painting had also put the fun in funeral.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted September 24, 2015 A sample: “At this, Eliza and Ezra rolled together into the one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and puled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone.” This looks to me like a case of having and eating the same cake, he's gleefully mocking and celebrating overwrought prose, probs achieving the similarly hard task of laughing all the way to the bank. That page just sold me a book! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
