100%. Moz had it all for the taking, but blew it by being awkward, obstructive, failing to play shows/tours he's been contracted to - such as NY/LA arena shows in 1994, and ducking out of The Bowie tour in 1995 - and generally deliberately avoiding what audiences wanted. If he'd taken the...
Moz has always over stated his own importance. The 2018 Arena tour sold pitifully with lots of unsold tickets. 2020 was slimmed down to two half-sold arenas.
I suspect Donnie's view was something like Ech, guitarists come and go and Moz has done FINE without you, and Alain may have been more of the view that Donnie, who hasn't been writing songs with Morrissey for 32 years, should show more respect to people.
I think Moz ascribing it to 'cancel culture' is nonsense. He's not got a great commercial appeal : the label probably thought they could maybe engineer a 2004-style career rebirth, then realised they probably couldn't make it happen. In my opinion they should just let him buy the record back and...
The world is full of albums, some we know about, some we don't, that have been binned before release due to record company politics, tax writeoffs, and more, that simply never get released. Half of this article is veering on "oh noes! cancel culture! Wokeness killed my Morrissey LP!", when its...
With all due respect, when everyone starts dying, what is left is the commentary : the autobiographies, and biographies. Maybe everyone who was there apart from Moz knows that what really happened wasn't the way he said it. And everyone who was there probably won't be here in 30 years time...
It's pretty obvious that much of Autobiography half-truths and almost lies wrapped in grudges and revisionism. (And, in my opinion, Moz seems to be at best, not a very nice person).
Rogan said that when he was interviewing a Moz/Smiths former band member for The Severed Alliance, the person...
*looks at The National's album sales*
*looks at the fact that The National actually release albums*
*looks at the venues The National are selling out*
Yeah sure, he's just slagging off Moz for attention, and that's why his band are selling records, making records, and selling out venues...
It's a fundamentally flawed album that is within a hairs breadth of perfection.
The setlist is all out of whack. Both compared to the actual shows, and a decent setlist order. Moz setlists often feel like someone is pulling the songs out at random, and this is no different.
The setlist on my...
Not very much, and not very often.
There was a guy I used to work with, who was constantly screwing up, (and in more dramatic ways over the years) and became a joke in the industry. Can you believe this? etc. Which is pretty much how I think of it these days.
The frustrating thing about M is...
Not very much, and not very often. I'm a fan of historical Morrissey up to the last notes of "It's Not Your Birthday Anymore", and everything after is kinda like when somebody posts up something about a guy you used to know, and you end going "Sheesh, really? No wonder I don't hang out with him...
This is the *exact* moment I realised that Morrissey was an irredeemable weapons grade prat and went from "I like him, but..." to "Yeah, I used to like him, lets not talk about it." I loved what was, but that is over a decade in the rear view mirror now.

In my opinion, The Overton Window has been moving steadily and surely right for the past 15 years, dragged there by millionaire press barons infecting public conversation with an increasing temperature of discussion that demonises the filthy forrins...
