The man is a legend. There is no point trying to convince those who refuse to see it
Quite right.Quote:

Have to say I enjoyed every minute of it.
he's a brexit loving fan of Nigel Farage who once called the Chinese a subspecies and allegedly defended Kevin Spacey for fiddling with a 14 year old boy. You can keep him.
52% of the nation are brexit lovers aren't they?Quote:

He can't sing and has an over inflated idea of his own importance.
Going to see Johnny Marr on Thursday.
Enjoy!Quote:

No, there isn't absolute free speech in this country but this is more about free speech with consequences for his relationship with fans or potential fans.Quote:

I didn't watch all the YouTube clips you attached, but the claim that no one (BBC or other) has ever previously asked if we can separate the art from the artist is rubbish. That question has been asked for centuries.
I don't think it's a strange or unfair question at all. Very often the art reflects the personality and views of the artist, but even if it doesn't it is natural that we will be attracted to and enjoy the work of people who share our values and opinions. I always look out for and identify with Welsh bands and novelists.
I can appreciate some of the abilities and skill of artists I don't like - but I can never forget if they use their platform to promote ideas or political causes I hate. Joan Armatrading lost me as a fan when she started to praise Thatcher, Her music didn't change, but the way I heard it did.
So just because you disagree with someone's political opinions you dislike them? That's a bit small-minded imo.
Why small minded? I respond to the whole person. I don't see the virtue in compartmentalising.Quote:

However, in the case of Morrissey it is easy. Don't like the man, don't like the music.
