As some may know, Morrissey has very strong sentiments regarding two issues: the eating of meat and animal cruelty in general, and the royal family. In typical Moz fashion, he found a way to praise Prince but tie it to these two issues. His fans at the Moz forum were not pleased. http://www.morrissey-solo...Prince-RIP

Although a long-serving vegan and a strong advocate of the abolition of the abattoir, neither of these points was mentioned in the one hundred television reports that I witnessed yesterday as they covered the enchanted life and sad death of Prince. The points were not mentioned because they are identified as expressions against e$tabli$hment interests, therefore we, mere galley slaves, aren't allowed to know.
Prince has influenced the world more than is suspected, and somehow the life of his music is just beginning, and he would be thanked not only by humans but also animals for living his lyrical life as he did. Humans, you see, are not the world.
Meanwhile, on the same day that Prince melts away in physical form, London and England remain two very different countries, and in London the news media (under tyrannized instructions from Buckingham Palace) are informing the world that Her Royal Slyness is celebrating her 90th birthday, and we are assured that all of the United Kingdom is celebrating a monarch who has "served" (that is, served herself, not the people) for over 60 years. There is no evidence of celebrations, and in fact there are hushed reports of national indifference. In this mental maze the marrow of the matter has been grasped by everyone: monarchy is the new anarchy. It is the face of white supremacy, social repression, tyranny, oppression, thought control, big stick control, minority rule, dictatorship, and, on the streets beyond SW1, unfairness. All that can be honestly celebrated on Elizabeth's 90th birthday is the reality that she is the end of the family line. What else could her point be?
Prince, who made something of his life as opposed to having fortune handed to him, is far more 'royal' than Elizabeth 2, and he will be mourned far more than she, for she could never make herself loveable, no matter how many paid and promoted non-stories flood the newspapers of the world. The laughing gulls of Buckingham Palace will never allow you to forget who wields the stick. And, of course, we know very well what gulls tend to do on the people below.
Prince is the royal that people love, whereas Elizabeth 2 was thrust on the people who have never been asked whether or not they want her.


MORRISSEY
22 April 2016.

As a big fan of Morrissey (the music-not so much the person Morrissey) I was curious if or what he had to say about Princes death. Moz completely ignored Bowies death because they had some issues in the past. While it was nice that he wrote something about Prince and showed some respect I found his statement totally underwhelming. He should have written only about Prince and not for the millionth time about his hatred of the royal family and about veganism. I found it a bit poor that he was using Prince for his agenda.

Oh Moz, you cheeky monkey!

Happy he acknowledged him but he cant help it. He is who he is which is still a genius and a huge figure in my life (just not Prince level but pretty damn close).

Love the irony. Morrissey, of course, is well known for his anti-establishment, non-white supremacist statements (sarcasm).

.

Here are some of his wonderful quotes over the years:

.

- “If more men were homosexual, there would be no wars, because homosexual men would never kill other men, whereas heterosexual men love killing other men.”

.

- The song "Bengali in Platforms" (the title is offensive enough): "Bengali in platforms / He only wants to embrace your culture / And to be your friend forever."
The song then carries on, with great class: "Oh, shelve your western plans / And understand / That life is hard enough when you belong here."

.

- Obviously repentant and sensitized from the first album, his 2nd album features "Asian Rut". (Not to mention the later "National Front Disco".)

.

- Classy quote from 1994: "[I don't] really think, for instance, black people and white people will ever really get on or like each other. I don't really think they ever will."

.

- 1997: "England is a memory now. The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in."

.

- In 2010, Morrissey describes Chinese people as a "sub-species". Yes, he did. Here's one of numerous links:http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/se ... ies-racism

.

- The entirety of M's multicultural worldview was nicely summarized by the humor publication 'Cracked' on its website a couple of years ago under a subtitle, 'Accusations of Racism'. The best quote might be: "Morrissey has been accused of racism so many times that the American Nazi Party began sending him free literature in the mail."

So, sorry, Morrissey if I don't buy your B.S. about missing Prince.
