The draize train and Occilate, yep brilliant.I think I said it best in my first reply: You're delusional. If you can't see the beauty and magic of what Marr created on his own with his guitar work, then you're deaf, dumb, and blind. Remove Morrissey's vocals from The Smiths catalogue, and you're still left with some of the most memorable melodies and music of that era.
Do people like Nial Marr, who are born to rich and famous parents, not feel inadequate and pathetic spending their life copying said parents? One would think they'd have all the more reasons to break out of their parents' shadow, but strangely it often seems to work the opposite way.
Not only does he opens for his father and imitate his father's singing and playing style, but he also dresses like him, wears his hair like him, poses like him, and even copies his father's facial expressions when he sings. It's pitiful, the man is almost 30 years old ffs.
And before anyone butts in with their whataboutism, yes, Sam is on the same level of cringe, but at least Morrissey doesn't trot him out on stage.

You have said that he is tainting his dad's legacy.
Can you post something he has said that shows he is doing that? Maybe he has and maybe he hasn't but I'd like to see the evidence rather than just your words. He obviously doesn't like Morrissey which is very interesting as JM's son. But if you have something that shows he has targeted his dislike of his dad and The Smiths that isnt specifically aimed at Moz it would be interesting to see please?

Not much fun without Morrissey
As much as I like you, KS, that's one of the dimmest arguments I've read on here in a while. My parents met whilst they were doing Civil Defence in the 1960s. Does that mean I've got to be grateful to Hitler and Stalin?If it wasn’t for Morrissey/Smiths, Nile most likely wouldn’t even have been born. Unless he was an accident, some parents make sure they’re financially secure before they decide on bringing a child into this world, and I’m sure Smiths royalty checks and other job opportunities because of the Smiths name/work gave both Johnny and Angie this security.
So Nile, no need to be so ungrateful.

No, you miss my point. No-one is under any moral obligation to feel gratitude to someone else whose actions may or may not have led ultimately to their birth, not least because I'm sure that the notion of Marr's future offspring was the furthest thing from Morrissey's mind during The Smiths.If they profited from the war which made them feel financially secure enough to bring you into this world, then in a way yes.
I wasn’t arguing, and I don’t think it’s that strange of a consideration to pose.

He uses his Dad in hashtags & pictures. His Dad's fame rests on The Smiths. He said his favourite Smiths song is 'Morrissey is racist', which attaches the stigma of racism directly on to the band.
His lookout though.
