the importance of being morrissey

It's a documentary on Morrissey. What more do you need to know?

[@Fxirie_harper08]

His eccentricity helps make me love my own. There’s something very real about him and yet he’s got this dreamy old school glamour - and the combination is entrancing

[@Lee.Carlson]

Brilliantly put.

[@markpalmar70]

The most important cultural figure in my lifetime.

[@jamesadcock5235]

Wasn't expecting him to rip into David Bowie. Wow morrissey is the real deal

[@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454]

Bowie deserved it. He pulled a power trip & Moz called him out.

[@arielthompkins427]

Anyone can bash someone. Problem is when his narcissism and whining is seen as “having balls”🙄

[@KINGMONKEY1989]

He's a real 🤡. Love his music. The Smiths are one of thee all time great bands but Morrissey as a person is a miserable git who come out with some amount of garbage.

[@Miss-an-thropic]

Saw him recently in Birmingham. He's amazing live. Genius.

[@fellspoint9364]

The great irony of Morrissey is that he is an iconoclast who loves to be worshipped. On the whole, however, a rather decent fellow.

[@nope5445]

The Dallas 1991 show where kids were bombarding the stage. I was there with my best friend and my future wife.

[@vashna3799]

Never understood the hate towards Morrissey. Would you haters prefer he didn’t exist or died? Is it because he’s defiantly his own man and not afraid to speak his mind?

[@pebkac1245]

i hate how the british try to make everything gay. those fans literally see morrissey as a savior, it isnt gay, its sad on multiple levels but impressive that morrissey gets that kind of treatment

[@Phil-io4mj]

Good point. It is a trait of the North London media. This documentary format is another dreadful outgrowth of the talentless middle class north Londoner.

[@SuperMyfamily01]

Can’t believe I am only just seeing this now, nearly 20 years on! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Extremely interesting insight into the man and (naturally) great music throughout!

[@TheBobbyel]

I think heterosexual men love him, not sexually, but because nobody else speaks for mens insecurity, loneliness, and lack of confidence. Women are sympathised with constantly but men are just left to cope. Morrisey gives them a voice.

[@lonesomeStu]

Truth...

[@VanirTraditionalist]

Well said. He speaks for us in these regards while maintaining a unwavering sense of masculinity. Iconic.

[@rexnegron1778]

Now this man is a genius

[@bouncer2005]

This man makes me smile ….

[@tonymchugh5990]

The Beatles and The Smiths..the best 2 bands ever. Good to know that he was very good friends with Linda McCartney (because of the Veggie stuff).

[@johnbarry1965]

Greatest ever Frontman and lyricist EVER!!!!!!!!

i have to agree

Ian Curtis too. Two incredible lyricists from Manchester.

[@beaumather2144]

Morrissey =genius

[@marymary5494]

I had an older friend many yrs ago who Morrissery reminds me of, his looks, his demeanor, his wit, him as a friend. As Nancy walked into his home it took me back to visits with my friend. As for Morrissey he is a genius, no doubt about it. 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@DeadSoundPromotions]

Such a contradiction of dreams, I find I hate him and love him in equal measure.

[@Outsider214]

a conflicted artist indeed

[@headron66]

Me too 💐

[@friendnamedjane8686]

He brings the gay out in straight men I love it 😂😂😂😂

[@Scotlanz]

“A little row of semis…”, that made me chuckle.

[@tonymchugh5990]

Oo-errr 😊

[@wendyhandley9463]

I quite simply adore Morrissey, always have always will. Who needs friends when you know Morrissey exists.

[@jordanremington4938]

And here was me thinking I knew a lot about morrissey……turned out I knew hardly anything

[@mjax8614]

Wasn't he in a relationship with Tina then, so why be so mysterious?

[@briankeenan4901]

You know, I originally thought Morrissey was off base with the vegetarian thing, but once you listen to him, he can make alot of sense. Because the pieces of his puzzle fall into place and you can see the connections and the overall impact of his message.

[@toddst.george6511]

A fascinating look at a genius.

[@JJ-zg1hh]

14:46 made me chuckle!

[@rexnegron1778]

I Try not to look at Morrissey as a god. There's only one God. But he's a very extraordinary man. I'll always admire him.

[@t8r507]

That's gotta drive him crazy though, he's as cordial as it gets but some fans just let their emotions run wild and they absolutely mug poor Morrissey. He is really one of a kind, Him and Marrs was a great team musically. @12:20- I couldn't help but hear that song, That's sounds like the song Faron Young by Prefab Sprouts, Did The Smiths originally write that or what? I can also hear how the group Danny Wilson got inspiration from this song on their song {Girl I used to know} well least I think so.

[@kevinmurtagh3434]

Marc Boland was a legend Cosmic dancer

[@headron66]

@Kevin Murtagh. It’s Marc Bolan. And yes Cosmic dancer is brilliant. The Electric Warrior LP is one of my all time favourites. Monolith being a favourite.

[@32446]

Absolutely and he appeals to a new generation. My 16 year old loves him

[@sniffableandirresistble]

Imaging being incaple of comprehending Morrissey

[@lubelar410]

[@pyewackett5]

I love the part where he plays the Diana Dors record

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Great track.

[@stephenroche5107]

Diana Dors was pure evil.

[@mikethompson5549]

Morrissey is Shakespeare reincarnated.....

[@stephenr80]

I want people to make a documentary about me and call it the importance of being Rodríguez. Oh wait.. it does sound so unimportant already. 😢

[@supernova6170]

about db Steven tell as:" not now"...hahaha Bowie much more then art is,Morrissey is always STAY in rocabilly pop stuff, which is very old state of music and images, looks...etc

As a gay man, Morrissey is the hero I dreamed of!

[@benedettat]

I’m a straight man, using my girlfriend’s youtube channel, and he’s my musical hero too!!! Because he’s fucking awesome.

[@headron66]

As a straight woman I adore him. 1985 Edinburgh Playhouse, the smiths. It’s been a love affair every since. My husband teased me for going to see them. 37 years on and he is as big a fan as me and I tease him that he missed out on the smiths. My son is gay and he said it was an easy move coming out to us because of our taste in music, little does he know that we would have accepted him regardless. Morrissey fans are rather special. 💐it’s not gladioli but it’s near enough. 💐

Morrissey, Thom Yorke, Robert Smith

[@rexnegron1778]

I' wish I could be Morrissey!

[@rexnegron1778]

I really wish people would accept the truth. Johnny Marr and Morrissey we're lovers. They never admitted it, but.johnny wanted out of the relationship, but Morrissey didn't. He loved Johnny, now I can't say how Johnny felt. A lot of people then got into gay relationships but after a while changed their minds and wanted to declare nothing ever happened. I hate those types.

[@rexnegron1778]

Yes I've been through it that's why I know what happened. Many of my friends been through it. Boy George and Jon Moss. Jon declared for years there was nothing between them but a trans like Boy George isn't going to ride away quietly into the sunset. Several of those I loved don't want it ever known they were with me.

[@rexnegron1778]

A lot straights indulge in gay situations. I was an escort and most of my customers were not gay men but straight ones.

[@rexnegron1778]

Morrissey is an extremely eccentric person, and probably why he and Johnny's relationship couldn't work. Eccentric people are very hard to get on with. But Morrissey is highly intelligent why his career excelled.

[@rexnegron1778]

I'm also an eccentric and was always hard to understand. Why I understand him so well. People in my old neighborhoods just called me crazy but I was just eccentric.

[@kieron63]

I would love to hear his views on "hatred of law forces" now in a state renowned for "LA STREETS OF HUMAN FAECES!"

[@samtolley1023]

You should always make sure that everything that is on the seats in your car is properly held in place, for example a Dog should be properly harnessed in. If you break fast or you crash your car what ever is in the seat could fly of the seats and hit someone in the car kill them or injure or hurt them or fly out of the car and hit someone around the car and kill them or seriously hurt or injure them. You could also kill or hurt or injure the thing that is in your passenger seat if it is something like a dog or a cat.

[@rattatouilletherat]

[@chelseapoet3664]

Of course he's not. He's interested in national identity among many other subjects he addresses in his lyrics. Yelling racist at anyone who writes on these matters is simply moronic.

Joyce and Rourke never contributed to the writing of those songs and it was a 40,40, 10, 10 split on agreement because of that. The smiths were Marr and Morrissey the other two were just window dressing.

I don't like Morrissey because he complained about letting too many immigrants into England yet he did a gig in 'Israel'... so what he wants for himself he doesn't want for the Palestinians apparently. I dont like the way he appears to presume to speak on behalf of the underdogs of Britain considering he's been rich and famous for nearly forty years now and couldn't possibly understand how it really feels to be a modern day working class British person.
