These details are essential, if we expect to find an audience. I've been a part of his audience since the beginning and I will be a part of it until he takes his final curtain call....

Although some people may agree that people who talk in this way in the year 2014 sound gay (kinda true) back then it was the norm.. Anyway I think it's more a combination of that massive chin and the hissing of poor quality recording equipment that brings on the 'gay lisp' that we find in so many cartoons and comedies of today.

I just learned of this band tn. So enchanted by his voice

[@jamesmcloughlin7691]

His voice actually is so beautiful 😍

[@lauraf.e2788]

I have always loved him and his personality. People see him as negative because he sees and speaks the truth, which they are afraid of.

THE BEST MAN AND LYRIC WRITER ON THE PLANET

Morrissey is highly intelligent, he speaks with such class and elegance.

this brought tears to my eyes; a poetic soul indeed 💕

[@vripiatbuzoi9188]

Love the line and the look he gives when he says "its proved to be quite true, in a way". He is such a contradiction. Generally a shy person but at times, in brief moments, something ungraded, open, and flamboyant just jumps out proving the opposite.

I love walking aimlessly around the streets where I live. Not depressing at all - it's great!

This is the single greatest video in all of existence. Just...that editing...

Ikr. Back to the Old House playing as the camera drifts back over the urban decay. The feels.
