Without the context of a song/poem, he basically called for the mass murder of millions of people for the crime...
The first time I saw Morrissey was back on the Late Late Show over a decade ago. I had never heard of the Smiths or Morrissey before then. He just wasn't on my radar as a 17 year old American... So thanks to Craig Kilborn for introducing him to many Americans like myself.
The new show is...
