18brumaire:

let’s face it most musicians are arseholes

ones i can think of

david bowie - said hitler was the ‘coolest rock star’, and said he wanted to become the fascist leader of britain

morrissey - thinks the chinese are subhuman and need to be ‘exterminated’, all of the posturing to…

Excuse me but Morrissey never said the Chinese should be exterminated. What he said was that the way the Chinese treat animals (referring to the images on the news of cats and dogs being skinned alive for fur) makes him wonder if they are a subspecies. Because, my friend, when you allow animals to be treated that way, you are a subspecies (and that’s how I feel). Then, second thing, The National Front Disco is not a racist song, it’s an anti racist song. Listen to the lyrics. And last, that thing he supposedly said about Pakistanis was something he said when he was 16, in a letter to a friend and later when it surfaced in the press he regretted it immensely. Though of course, as you might have figured by now, journalists like to twist words to make someone sound like an asshole so we don’t know if that were his actual words.  

I am sick and tired and sicker and exhausted of people calling Morrissey a racist. If you think he is, and I said this before, please unfollow me because it means you rather listen to the NME and manipulating journalists who want to create controversy than to the man himself. Do you think a racist would tour Japan and South America and hire two Mexicans to play in his band (and refer to one of them as his muse?)
