Mac, you'll probably hate me for this but honestly, I've never gotten the whole Morrissey love.
He just comes off as the worst kind of "poseur". A lot of pseudo-angsty fluff, but with no real substance. Frankly, this little video clip doesn't do much to change my mind. :oP
I think the single most important thing about Morrissey that a lot of people don't get is that he's funny. And he knows it. He's got an incredible knack for self-deprecating humor and irony; there's more to him (and his music) than his facade would suggest.

But then again, I liked Duran Duran, so what do I know? ;o)

P.S. Duran Duran were fine, right up until they released "Union of the Snake". Ugh.

ReplyDeleteOK. I'll give you that. It seems like a lot of the stuff he does seems to be a bit tongue in cheek. :o)

ReplyDeleteOh, definitely. That's one of the reason I like him!
