The Smiths are probably more well known by Gen Z in America today than they were in America when they were together.

Girlfriend in a coma- my personal favorite

Aging myself here, but one of the funnest nights (week) of my life started on a Friday night, tripping balls, listening to the latest Smiths album and hearing Meat Is Murder for the first time. Good times…

Awesome. I got hooked on the song the first time I heard that catchy guitar work and bouncing bass.

Don’t worry about aging yourself. I’m 26 and the best music experience of my life was doing a few laps in Audubon Park last year and hearing the whole “Queen is Dead” album for the first time.

Morrissey is awesome. He’s being targeted - by the left-wing Nazis - because he’s been outspoken in the media and pretty much every performance recently, against immigration policies in the UK. Also, for the UK the rest of his political views are pretty conservative.

He’s very well known worldwide and I’d expect a little more support here for an “artist” that has conservative right-minded views.

Y’all go listen to the Smiths. Seriously. He was the lead singer. So many classic songs.


Easily their best song:

He’s anti immigration, nationalistic, and supports far-right parties, and views on “the nature of English identity” (read into that what you will).

But he’s for animal rights (ok), a vegetarian (so what), and against the monarchy.

So overall on the right side.

I never gave him any thought then, nor do I now.

Morrissey (and The Smiths) are that one act that hardly anyone has ever heard of before, but, have heard one of their songs and also like a band or two influenced by them.

The lead singer of the Deftones (Chino Moreno) is a Morrissey fanboy.

My wife had never heard of them before so I forced her to listen to a lot of their stuff. She hates their music but she did make up a goofy dance for this song.

Agreed. Also some good covers of it too. I also like this one by them:

Is it not possible to pick up guitars and make music again?

He was all of those things because brave men fought and died for his right to do those things. Brave men led by stronger men than we have in the government today. There are no brave men in politics today. There ARE brave and bold men among us. Their time will come soon.

He's not on the right but he is definitely not a marxist. The best I can describe him is that he is like the Richard Dawkins of music. In his head he realizes that what he preaches against is actually better than every other alternative.

Read Fonte’s Essay on Transnational Progressivism, 10, and you’ll understand why the ‘smart’ “brave men” have had the fight spirit taken out of them via their intellect. The same with Academia, as that is where it all starts.

Egalitarian ideology is persuasively powerful for exceptionally visionary, creative and intelligent individuals. You won’t find a lot of ‘Conservatives’ at that level because those people realize that if they are not charitable to the weak, whatever Power (God, Karma, etc.) gave them their exceptional ability and life…might take it away in the next one. Assuming there’s a ‘next one’ of course.

Not hard to see why he fears Muslims though. I think the political/religious assassination thing will get bigger. Morrissey sees this too. He should write a song. Albeit it would put a bullseye on him for sure.
