At a recent concert at Dublin Castle in Ireland, Morrissey announced the passing of American President Ronald Reagan followed by the statement "Bush should have died, not Reagan".

In light of these comments a spokesman for Morrissey's record label, Sanctuary Records, stated:

"We do not have a recording of the gig, but as far as we can tell, Morrissey was just alerting the audience to the fact that Ronald Reagan had died."

Morrissey is currently on the European leg of his tour before returning to the United States to take part in this summer's Lollapalooza festival.

Morrissey has lived in L.A. for many years. Last time I checked L.A. was still part of the U.S. By the way, our Governor isn't "from the U.S." either.

But why kill the vice president and still leave President Cheney in power?

If Cheney dies, does that make Bush president?

Goddamn, I hate Morrisey, I hate his self-righteous attitude, and more and more, I hate his fans.

That was great, though you missed the mark a bit. Catcher In The Rye and Bad Religion were more like 7th grade.
