Question

cvnt or good bloke..?

I thought he was the former before I saw that profile. But now I think I like his attitude to the 'music bizz'.

I guess some of those old Smiths songs were ok too

Complete reverse old boy. Used to love him/The Smiths but i thought he came across as a bit of a self centred old git without much of interest to say.

Then again i was flicking between that docu' and the plane disaster movie on BBC1 .

He has just signed a new record deal and is working on his 1st studio album in 7 years, as per Xfm.

The music business must be desperate to sign this no-talent has-been. He was part of a trend some years ago, but we all got tired of it and moved on. If he really had anything to offer, he would not have spent so many years out of circulation. I thought he came across as too full of himself, and with a completely unjustified high opinion of his ability.

Cool

I could never make my mind up about him, but I think last nights programme generally raised my opinion of him. He doesn't seem to reside as far up his own rectum as most popstars of his stature. Plus, he's always had a very good band behind him.

Wiltshire Boy, I was doing the same. Doesn't it bug you that the silly cow with no brain always seem to manage to survive in movies like that?


BTW Is it me, or is Noel Gallagher turning into a bit of a has-been, rent-a-quote these days?

The best comment EVER about Morrissey was from Beavis & Butthead. The two were on their couch watching the Moz video of "Last of the Famous International Playboys".

Butthead says: "Quit whining, you wuss".

cvnt who can't sing. Some of the Smiths songs sounds good now (I hated them at the time), but I think that was down to Johnny Marr - Morrissey on his own sucks the big one.

I used to like the Smiths, but the main creative force was Johnny Marr.
I saw him in Newport in 1985 and he was waving his flowers over the crowd and some one grabbed them and pulled him into the crowd.
He flounced off stage and refused to come back on. There was a mini riot.
So my view is cvnt

Saw him in concert this year and he is definately not a has-been. He can still write some of the finest lyrics around.

Could you provide an example please?

How about

'Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know, it's serious'

or

'I was looking for a job and then I found a job and heaven knows I'm miserable now'

Pure class

I thought "Hang the DJ" was so appropriate for all the old farts on Radio 1 at the time.
