I wouldn't say it's hip and rebelious to be against the president. You don't even need to be from the US to be against him since he's fucking shit up in different parts of the world. It's just common sense to be against bush. He's an asshole.

Someone isn't selling enough units this quarter..

What's wrong with Bush? I though everyone loved Gavin Rossdale's bad Eddie Vetter impersonation?

i despise all of the idiots that are afraid to talk about the recently dead in a negative fashion. reagan was a terrible pres. Iran/ Contra, trickle- down economics, he did a movie with a monkey....enough said

as for bush, i do not want him dead, just removed far far far away from any position of power

the sad thing is reagan with alzheimer's would still be a better president than governor duh's retarded brother gw.

thats my point


its like when lauryn hill thought she should bash the church while at the vatican


he might as well jump up & down yelling "look at me, look at me"

You guys are just pissed that another foriegner is viewing our president for what he really is and is speaking the truth.

We, as Americans, for the most part, are blinded because we are expected to be loyal and subserviant to our nation's leader. We're not supposed to notice the fact that he's a fucking moron and putting him in office was the biggest mistake we've made yet.

I agree with Moz, Bush should be dead. For letting our economy go to shit, for ignoring the terroist threat that came before 9/11, for ignoring his country and going on his self rightous crusade against Saddam because his dad couldn't finish the job, he should by all means be dead. Or at least locked a hole somewhere, never to be let out.

why do people care what accomplished people think? does it matter more than what you think? are they privy to special info cause they sold records, starred in films or wrote a book?

Apparently, it does because most people have that mundane of a life that they need celebrity opinion to counter against.

Y'know, that morrissey guy... he doesn't drink, smoke, take drugs, wear fur or fuck, and then that asshole has the temerity to complain to the world through his music about how miserable he is. What a dick.















and then he says this, and brings a smile to my face. Sure, it was a pretty dumb remark, but it wasn't really meant to be anything other than a fuck you to someone who deserves it. That makes two times he's made me happy. the other remark:

"REGGAE IS VILE".

God bless you mozza, you always bring a smile to my face
He's been saying things like this for a long time 'cos he knows it gets certain peoples knickers in a twist !

Maybe we can just send him to Den Haag, and he can hang himself or take a cyanide capsule to save his honor, before trial. Everyone wins.

Morrisey blows. Not for comments like that, but for rubbish like his quote in last week's Time Out: "I've always assumed there's a dark river flowing beneath my fans desires." What is that all about? It must make sense to some of his fans, right? I can just hear some people that have their bedrooms painted black and daffodils falling out their asses saying, "How right you are, Moz, how right you are...."

I wish morrisey had died and not Ray Charles.

Thank you...and if everyone hates Bush so much...what do you think about Cheney...yeah, short sighted attention grabbing comment. Less about society and politics more about sales.

Well that's typical of him, but you can't tell me that anyone attending a Morrissey concert would actually give a shit about that remark.

Ahem, yeah.... We might also remember when Steven got in a bit of trouble for singing Margaret on the Guilotine, so he can throw rocks in his own glass house as well...

The Rapper Paris got in some ink for writing Bush Killer about Bush Sr. and Ice T for Cop Killer, and the Sex Pistols for God Save the Queen, and the Mc5 for just being the Mc5 and they couldn't even say 'motherfuckers' on their own album.

Rock n Roll has a history of infmamatory comments, but who cares... Is it MORE crass because S. Morrissey said it?

I was in my doctors office yesterday and the doctor's son who runs the finances end looked at my hat full of hollow era smiths shirt and said, 'the smiths, hey that guys pretty controversial isn't he?' i think i said, 'well, outspoken, but...' and he came back with what this thread is about, and then added 'well, good for him... people need to be able to say those things.'

Since the entire office is adorned with gw bush photos, i felt for sure he was going to crit him, but I guess he's different from his 'ole man, and understands the necessity of being allowed to say such things over keeping everyone safe from bad bad words.

Agreed. Reagan was a dork of a president. But he did do okay as a B-list movie star.

You have to admit, though it would have been pretty interesting if Bush had died of Reagan's Alzheimer's....

No shit! Jesus the homophobia just comes a-creepin' on out in some of these threads! Really says something about SG's "progressive and open-minded enlightened" members. No, I'm not gay, nor am I a homophobe... but plasticfangs has a good point here. Boy Dreamer also made a good point in that alot of you just seem to want to out-wit eachother to stroke your own egos and impress us all with your mighty intellect rather than make a valid point. Whatever. I'm not a huge Morrissey fan nor do I hate the guy... but he has every right to state his opinion. I don't wish death on Bush, but I sure would like to see him and his administration the fuck out of power, so Moz gets my vote somewhat on this issue.

Moz has been this assertive for decades, big deal. A liberal made an anti-Bush comment, scandalous.
