These are extremely powerful, timeless and true lines: When you are young you crave affection and it can come... from the strangest direction

I think you are over-analysing this, writing a song like Home Is A Question Mark isn’t really proof of abuse. It’s a common theme I think alot of people can relate to/write about, not just those who suffer from abusement

That's sad to hear, if it's true. Is he the only one from Manchester who dares stand up against the terrorists and the meat industry, and could it be that maybe the working class are jealous of him, and therefore they respond with aggression/hate/distancing/calling him intolerant because of e.g...

It’s really nice, live, when he sings «they’d rather die than have to sleep with you»

Hello there MrShoes! Trolling, off-topicness and other ugliness will not be accepted here in the thread. Hope this is okay!

People tend to forget how revolutionary the poetry of this song was when it first came out, back in the 1980s. This world, may lack style? I know but each bud must. Blossom (and grow) Young people of today yawn at everything that happend before they were born. They’ll never understand how...

I must admit that I haven't read the 102 pages of this thread, but the subject you're discussing is very important. Viva free speech!

That The Angelic Upstarts and Klaus Nomi are two of his three most important musical influences is new to me, and wrong, I suspect

I think you might be on to something here

Thanks for the replies! I also think I remember 'F**k Steve Barnett' (the guy from Capitol who signed Morrissey for WPINOYB)

Hey Morrissey experts! Today I am interested in t-shirts. Does anybody have an overview of all the t-shirts (with slogans, e.g. "We hate Willam and Kate", "Assad is shit" etc.) his band members have wore, in concerts and/or videos through the years?

Rockabilly?
