I wouldnt say LOVE as I'm not a massive fan who worships Morrisey. <br /><br />But, as someone touched on earlier in the comments - aren't there bands much more deserving of such a rant? I mean, there are bands more popular than the Smiths these days without even 1/100th of the talent. <br /><br />I would rather listen to Smiths albums back to back for the rest of eternity than listen to anything that comes on the radio these days!Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014917807329889939.post-22770195940346353712011-07-21T15:39:29.661-06:002011-07-21T15:39:29.661-06:00I googled "why are the smiths so popular"...I googled "why are the smiths so popular" and found this.

Don't you think that most of Morrissey's anguish is about being afraid of his homosexuality due to Christian upbringing and being guilty about it and feeling he's dirty because of it??Its so clear from the songs I have heard so far that they are about denying his homo-erotic feelings. Thats why he's been celibacy. Now that he's older he's coming to terms with it. I feel sorry for him, of course. He wished he never was born that way obviously - ITS ALL SO CLEAR - Its simple.

I just can't take the F***ing whining, certainly not from people and apparently not in song. <br /><br />It's actually disturbing to witness someone suffering so badly, and then to have people celebrating his pain so enthusiastically. Because that's what you are doing when you express admiration for him. You're not actually complimenting his creativity as much as you are uniting with a fellow sufferer. <br />I suppose the short answer to the question of why Morrissey and the Smiths are so popular is that misery loves company. It's so sad for me to realize that so much of this shared pain is so unnecessary.<br /><br />If they had the amazing medications back then that we do today I'm sure many of Moz's dilemmas would've just evaporated. Not all, of course. He still would have been a talented, intelligent, sensitive artist, but just not swirling in a vortex of his own miasma.eddiezrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480432145853322564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014917807329889939.post-67880207318589152102009-07-09T05:13:19.440-06:002009-07-09T05:13:19.440-06:00that pine sheep song always gets methat pine sheep song always gets menatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014917807329889939.post-61931079009651336692009-07-06T07:15:31.609-06:002009-07-06T07:15:31.609-06:00"There is a light that never goes out" h..."There is a light that never goes out" hardly contains any of The Smiths' most accomplished lyrics (that would, in my not-so-humble opinion, be "The hand that rocks the cradle").

The Queen is Dead is an amazingly great album in my opinion and you said that Vicar In a Tutu is just a song about a Vicar In a Tutu. Well it is and it isn't. And by saying that I mean that Vicar In a Tutu is about a indivdiaul male wearing a tutu but it is also the moral that you have to understand. There is a really weird guy that wears very strange clothing and yet he is not afraid of anyone nor what anyone thinks. And Some Girls are Bigger Than Others is mainly about the riff and the humourous side of things I guess. It is kind of like the first time a boy starts noticing that he is turned on by girls but in this case its a man coming out of his shell and noticing. And just for the record, Frankly Mr Shankly is not a rip-off of Ob La Di, Ob La Da nor does it even have any similarities. The true rip-off is Why Don't You Get a Job by The Offspring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014917807329889939.post-61635915245025218172009-03-18T06:24:00.000-06:002009-03-18T06:24:00.000-06:00I fucking hate the Clash.I fucking hate the Clash.Slobodan Burgherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017404620889150039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014917807329889939.post-41529298006246332882008-12-27T14:09:00.000-06:002008-12-27T14:09:00.000-06:00I love The Smiths.
