At the Hollywood Bowl, Morrissey faithful make peace with his right-wing rhetoric - Los Angeles Times

Excerpt:

For many Morrissey fans at his show Saturday, they’ve found a detente between his music and his slide into right-wing rhetoric.

“He’s a human being, and his music speaks to a lot of people,” said Erika Alvarenga. “He’s entitled to his opinions. I’m not affected by it at all. The music is separate from his views.”

“But if he ever started singing about immigrants, I wouldn’t come to his concerts anymore,” Jimmy Alvarenga added.

Most Morrissey fans seemed aware that his politics and comments had turned darker since the U.S. and U.K. elections of 2016. But that didn’t seem to overly bother them as they waited outside the 17,500-capacity Hollywood Bowl. Morrissey isn’t quite the commercial draw he was decades ago — the day before the concert, many upper-level sections were barely half-sold — but by showtime, the crowd had filled out closer to capacity.

Melissa Gomez, 46, from Rosemead, didn’t hesitate to say that she’d stick by Morrissey.

“No way,” she said, when asked if his anti-immigrant stances might ever cost him her fandom. Gomez is Mexican American, and although treatment of migrants is a searing issue in American life, she wore her Morrissey shirt proudly. “He’s not the threat here,” she said. “He’s a good person.”

Onstage at the Bowl, Morrissey struck a grateful tone, back in his adopted hometown in a left-leaning state. “I’m home, I’m home, I’m home,” he said, as he dove into his single “Suedehead,” which brought the crowd to its feet. He even titled his new album of classic-songbook covers “California Son,” a nod to the generations of fans here that have supported him through thick and thin.

But at times, he couldn’t help himself, at one point donning a T-shirt bearing a profanity directed at the Guardian, a left-leaning British newspaper that has criticized his rhetoric in recent years.

Some fans admitted they’d gone through mental gymnastics to square the sensitive singer they know and love with the unsurprising possibility that a very wealthy 60-year-old white man from Britain might have some unsavory views about immigrants in 2019. “I was really surprised,” Jimmy Alvarenga said, recalling when he first heard of Morrissey’s slide rightward.

But others seemed resigned that canceling Morrissey at this point may just be too much of a loss.

“He says the dumbest stuff,” said Evan Navarro, 23, of L.A., who has listened to Morrissey and the Smiths for a decade. “But I love his music. There’s just too much history there.”

Morrissey says what he wants, and sometimes the truth hurts, to me its unbelievable that his years of slagging off the English Royal Family seem irrelevant, yet the "English" (if we are to believe the Guardian), are more concerned with the welfare of minority groups, which demand everything is changed to suit them, and to refuse is to be Racist. Morrissey said a few things, but he only speaks words, I don't recall him killing anyone to get his message home. And dare I say it, maybe a lot of people are in partial agreement, yet silent. Their are a number of people involved with the Manchester music scene who normally slag Morrissey at any available opportunity, yet they have not said anything about this issue, why would that be?

Who knows Reelfountain, who knows? Are you feeling so lonely you've resorted to creating 'anonymous' personalities that agree with you?
 
Loooooool



What a f***ing disgrace Morrissey has become. So much so that arch right-wingers Aaron Banks (Corrupt Party) and Richard Tice (Brexit Party) felt the need to lend their support.

Morrissey you are finished in the UK.
 
Loooooool



Apart from active tax avoidance schemes can you guess what else Morrissey, Banks and Tice have in common?

That's correct: they've all made racist statements. It seems Morrissey's made himself some new friends.

The Indian caste system is the epitome of supremacy.

Alsatian Cousin? If you want to hate on him, you might try researching his songs first. Alsatian Cousin is about a relationship between a teacher & a student & the title comes from an Alan Bennett play.
 
Morrissey simply wants his England back - the one the globalists have spent years destroying.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand this and to sympathize.

The son of immigrant parents doesn't live in England for tax reasons.
He is an elite immigrant.

If Morrissey is mad enough to tour the UK again the concerts are going to be violet. Perhaps he will get a kick out of that
 
"I’m home, I’m home, I’m home,” cooed Morrissey in every town he has ever darkened. Now, did he mean physical home or spiritual home? Maybe Katmine Sun could advise? Or, was this just some insipid platitude that bands of old used to exclaim "we love you *insert town or city of choice*".

L.A. you are welcome to him. He's every bit as phoney as Holywood is.

Fact is he is an immigrant.
 
What, so now LA Times feels bad about that disgraceful headline they printed. Morrissey is anti immigrant etc.
Too late to take it back. They deserve F the LA Times t-shirts. Morrissey fans are awesome. Big kiss.
 
But they're not white so it's okay.


Your both catching on and got the hang of it now.
Insane diego, one somolio-Joe had 4 wives going. One was 12, missing from school for a year and asking for section 8, food stamps, welfare checks, car, medical, for...her new baby. All o.k.

Someone of immigrant lineage perfectly content to put the boot into others in a similar situation .... that's Morrissey for you. Not white immigrants though. He's made no mention of those. Apparently, that's different. Quite, quite different but not, absolutely not, racist.

As for f***fountain's caste comment ...
any system that puts anyone above anyone else due to how/where they were born is unacceptable. There's no-one better at divisive segragation than the English system of elitism. A system that f***fountain claims to despise but can within the same sentence nimbly support the current architects.

Stupid, stupid f***fountain.
