"Performing before a skinhead audience" is a big stretch. He was the support act at the Madness reunion concert at Finsbury Park, London in 1992. I was there. It was wasn't a "skinhead audience". Yes, a number of Madness fans are traditional skinheads i.e. skinheads that are into reggae and ska, not the racist sort. A large part of the audience hated Morrissey (he just wasn't the right act for that gig) and hurled stuff at him. He wasn't able to finish is set and walked off stage after being hit in the face with a full carton of orange juice.

I felt so dissapointed with that controversial with Me Too issue that now, after all these years, as he'd say, I can't feel the same devotion I did in the past. I don't know him anymore and I'm completely fed up with these situations. By the way, I had the idea of having a tatoo done with the word "Moz" on my right wrist and well... Now I think I hated it if it was done yet, because of some of the things which appeared in this video. And I don't think it's exaggerated.

i don't really disagree with him on his observations of animal abuse and mass murder. We are way too tolerant of mass killings of animals for very poor quality meat for very poor quality restaurants while we blow up any tragedy on humans to get watch time on national news channels. Dont think that every murder gets publicized, only the ones that fit the narritive of that particular country and their sensibilities.

[@rubyr0f]

True. I think meat consumption now is ridiculous. The amount produced is awful for the environment and the animals themselves are often treated horribly when they're being used for cheap meat. Dont get me wrong, I eat meat, but as a world population we consume far too much meat.

[@TheClassicWorld]

My issue is more that we care too deeply about deaths of our own humans/group but not other human deaths. For example, if one American is killed and ten non-Americans are killed, the US cares more deeply for the single American, and may not even care at all for the entire group of the others if they are at fault at all This is noted most of all in all the wars, of course, most countries are like this. Although, the US had no issue killing its own people even as late as the 1970s. Look at WW2. The Americans had no issue killing every Japanese person in the world, and many Americans still wish they did/could.

[@TheClassicWorld]

P.S. note that I still don't think cows are more important than human life, that's just a fundamentally bad stance, and it's also hard to stand behind such a stance, as it would imply that you would be happy to kill humans for no reason (if cows matter more), going by the logical form. However, I also think what we (humans) do to animals is completely pointless and insane, and what with the removal of entire species, no less. Thankfully, 100 years hence will see no meat-eaters, more or less. The future is clearly 'green', all studies show this.

[@TheClassicWorld]

@@rubyr0f Well, that's because we have a large and greedy world population (such as the US and China). For the last 10,000 years, we have worked on a basic, 'the invention of farming equalled more food, which equals more people (health, larger societies, more children/people), which equals the innate need for more food (greater farming, etc.), which in turn equals more people' system.

Quotes made 35 years ago !!!? There are musicians , politicians and celebs , who have said far worse than this man.

[@unholybrat]

People saying far worse things than this doesn't make it okay. What's wrong with you. He's defended not one, but two sexually abusive men AND called Chinese people a subspecies. God I don't see how you people think "people have said worse" is an excuse. That's like saying "Murder is worse than rape, so we should focus more on murder!" 🙄

[@willlee5853]

@@unholybrat I don't think he was explicitly defening the two accused rapists rather he was trying to say that people today can face serious charges on a mere accusation rarely with provided evidence which is a good overall point and needs to be addressed, as for calling the chinese a subspecies he was referring to their lack of emotion when treating animals which is true, and we are all subspecies of humanoids (like dogs) different races think in different ways as it is proven. You really just focus on the most shocking bits without looking any further "but he said this!""he said that" I'm sure that you ,just like any average person, have said many insensitive and outrageous things as well and probably didn't know it, which is normal.

Most tellingly, this lazy and ill researched piece of crap says that Morrissey “..Defended them in multiple interviews” As far as I am aware, it was one interview with Der Spiegel, repeatedly reported, often out of context, and with very biased and opinionated editorial slant. WatchMojo also asserts that Morrissey ‘stands behind them’ , which clearly means supports them. He was (if you take it as read that the translation was reasonably faithful/accurate) expressing some thoughts about it. People need to listen more carefully and weigh them up before joining the ranks of the outraged. The Chinese comments are probably the worst thing in this list. If he actually did say that.

most of those are just people not understanding his sense of humor

[@jakebutler1095]

4:47 Obviously a joke. I think a lot of people take his music and think he seriously is a depressed person when a lot of the time he's actually being witty and its sort of similar to his interviews where people will spin one comment much like his music to a complete negative without allowing him to go on and explain his reasoning . He can be a tad extreme in the way he expresses his opinions but people only find them shocking when a celebrity says them because celebrities are expected to be some higher being that must seek out the approval of everyone by being as P.C. as possible and if any of these interviewees were familiar with his work at all they would know he doesn't give a fuck. At the end of the day there are many artists that we highly revere as incredible talents that were complicated outside of their art and I think Morrissey to some is a prime example of that.

[@TheClassicWorld]

Of course, this has always been true and was true for more local celebrities as far back as the 1700s. Nothing shockingly about famous/powerful people being held to higher standards, in fact, it makes perfect sense. That fame, or power, innately comes with great influence and, in turn, responsibility. I would say this is one of the biggest problems with modern famous people. Of course, not that they should be mindless members of some 'group' rather than individuals. It's about balance, like with anything else.
