Morrissey

Happy birthday Morrissey!  The rocker recently said that he’s finished a new album but has no label and is not a DIY musician.  I say put it out yourself, Moz.  You’ve got the fan base.  Make the money yourself.  Do you really want to be paying someone who had nothing to do with the creative process a huge cut of your money?  That’s my birthday wish for you.  Oh, and please stay alive forever.

Also born today: gay rights activist/politician Harvey Milk and actor Laurence Olivier.

Morrissey: The Queen is Alive. Democracy is Dead.

Morrissey is getting a lot of bad press for speaking up on his feelings about the Queen and the Royal Family.  I think he makes a pretty valid point and I am happy he is speaking up. 

Here’s a bit of what Moz said from his article he wrote for Hot Press:

“[The Queen] warned that any British people carrying anti-royal placards who are “seen in the vicinity of the royal wedding would be removed under the Public Order Act.” This means that any political dissent in England is silenced in order to protect the royals, which in itself goes against every principle of democracy.

The very existence of the Queen and her now enormous family – all supported by the British taxpayer whether the British taxpayer likes it or not – is entirely against any notion of democracy, and is against freedom of speech. For a broad historical view of what the Queen is and how she “rules”, examine Gaddafi or Mubarak, and see if you can spot any difference.

You won’t be able to.”  – Morrissey

Rocker Morrissey has confirmed that his autobiography has been written and is in the “trimming stage.”  He expects the tome will be released later this year or early next year.  He’s revealed that there will be no Smiths reunion happening any time soon and that he plans to carry on like the old blues singers and die on stage in Chicago.  Stay alive Moz!

So genius, I can’t even stand it!  If you know anything about Morrissey and what he stands for, you can imagine that I was slumped over with laughter when I saw this fake ad for Nike on my travels through New York City.  Thanks Katsu!  Love this charming ad!
