I cannot believe that Johnny Marr did not kill Morrissey

You come up with the most beautiful guitar riff ever and some
knob deicides that these words are an appropriate accomplishment

Some people may have taken my mockery of stupidly be-hatted faux folk musicians a little too seriously , I was only trying to have a little fun.
My hatred for Morrissey is genuine and visceral. To explain
He had an trivial argument with Tony Wilson , he said that Wilson should be shot , his body stuffed into the boot of a car and buried on saddlelworth moor. For those who may not know the moors murderers raped, tortured and killed children and buried their poor little bodies on the moor.

I'm pretty sure Morrissey rubs everyone up the wrong way. I still love The Smiths.

If you can be bothered to search it out there is an interview with Tony Wilson where he explains that it is possible to simultaneously be a great artist and a vile human being.

Two more from Flaco, complete with subtitles, to cleanse the palate.

The main reason that I gently mock Bob Dylan is that I find the fact that certain white people think that their musical tastes are superior to those of black people are ridiculous. This can be proven by giving the slightest thought to the history of American popular music .

Try and think hard enough to work out that my statement says nothing about Dylan’s attitude towards black people.It should not be too difficult.

No idea, but perhaps he's never met a black Dylan fan--they might not have them on his side of the pond.

Okay I will have to explain. A lot of people feel the need to justify their inadequate intellects by believing that their preference for white musicians over black ones is a result of of their cleverness. This is not true.

okay, let us explain. why do you gently mock Dylan instead of mocking the people you describe?

Yes he is a musical genius. This is not incompatible with him being a complete waste of time as a human being.
Of course I will leave Morrissey alone, even I am not that desperate .

Maybe because it annoys them more effectively than mocking them directly?

I don't see how it's not? I see how someone could think one outweighs the other, but clearly he's not a 'complete waste of time as a human being' all the time his music is very much a part of his 'human being'.

Also - if Moz can forgive Jesus, then ya'll sure as **** should be able to forgive him.
