About a Morrissey quote

[Cudweed]

Well, as most you may be aware of, Morrissey is quoted for saying: "Long hair is an unpardonable offense which should be punishable by death." But was the context? Is there a question for this answer? Cudweed

Proof we are kindred spirits. I CAN'T STAND sweetened tea. So there it is. Ladies stop kissing him and men stop undressing him with your eyes, Morrissey belongs with me.

I think he means long hair on men.
See the pics when he was 17 and trying to look like David Johansen gruesome

MOST IRRATIONAL FEAR: Marriage.
MOST EXOTIC ILLNESS YOU'VE SURVIVED: Ugly neck operation involving vile tubes.
THE BIGGEST LIE I EVER TOLD IS... ...still working to good effect, so...

Oscar Wilde would be so, so proud.

You are such a resourceful lot, so...
Has anyone else heard or come across a quote from around the same time where he says he gets his shirts from an outsize women's shop/catalog?

Errr...Morrissey realized long hair didn't suit him, hence he said "Long hair is an unpardonable offense which should be punishable by death."

Glad he stopped growing his hair.

What I don't quite get is that he not answering the actual question, or is he? I mean, what he is being asked was: DID YOU EVER HAVE LONG HAIR? & then he answers: "Long hair is an unpardonable offense which should be punishable by death." Why does he reason like that?
Nonetheless, it seem to be a way of making some kind statement against the typically rock'n'roller, I mean one from - especially - the Sixties & Seventies. The one who also tend to smoke, shag & drink & so on. But I dunno ... Though I kinda like the idea, which by the way is a quite brave, clever & rebellious thing to do. Cudweed

Wow! Who'd have thought it?

Somehow I think he was joking.
