Have you noticed how many people equate men liking Morrissey with homoeroticism?
In almost every documentary or biographical article on Moz it is said that normally heterosexual males are attracted to Mozzer on a homoerotic level.
It is often said that when straight men reach out to him at concerts, try desperately to touch him or hug him on stage, that this is the unleashing of surpessed male to male attraction that usually remains dormant in hetero males but through the power of Moz's words and music it breaks free and for that moment takes control of straighty boy.
Well, speaking as a straight boy (and yes I do understand how few of us, if any, are 100% one way or t'other) I think this is cobblers.
When I first heard The Smiths back in the stone age I was captured by the music and woken from my slumber by the words. It was truly life changing to discover someone who knew my life so well and expressed it so perfectly.
The more I discovered about the man the more I liked, possibly even loved him.
Lyrics always made sense to me. Interviews always made me laugh and nod my head in total agreement.
And so to be in his company can be a very powerful thing. So much so that I totally understand the connection he has with some people.
Even to the extent where a person will risk physical harm just to be noticed by him and close to him for ten seconds.
But, for me anyway, I have never found another man physically attractive in the way I feel about (most) women I meet.
Never ever ever have I thought it would please me to get near to him in 'that' way.
I just don't fancy men in a sexual way, never have and probably never will.
So in future you talking heads on documentaries and scribblers on paper, please take note.
We love Moz in a straight way, a very unusual, powerful straight way. But definately straight.
Thank you, and goodnight.
ps, this is not meant to be anti anything, I don't give two hoots if someone is straight, gay or a Liberal Democrat (actually that last one isn't true, tory supporting bastards).
