He's actually said some pretty positive stuff about Williams in he past. Liked his image/look/persona - just not his songs.It's a bit mad. Moz highligting Robbie The Robot singing Suedehead in a put-on caricature voice. One of the very people he wrote Crashing Bores about. The person he declined to duet 'I like you' with. And yet he's ok to drum up some attention.
Robbie's a fan so in is own inimitable way gives a wee nod to Moz..."trendy" to turn back on Moz, I don't understand what you mean and certainly don't agree with what you are thinking. The snowflakes have thrown themselves like lemmings off a cliff, nothing "trendy" in that, only collective daftness.At least he hasn't turned his back on Morrissey at a time when it's trendy to do so.
He has looked like Moz for years, it's mentioned on this site from time to time.The older Robbie gets, he is actually beginning to physically resemble Morrissey.
I dare say when the inevitable happens, and popular culture tells everyone to like Morrissey again (as was the message c.2003-2006), it could well be due to someone like Robbie covering a Smiths or a solo track.
It'll happen...problem is peoples' brains work slower than Moz's...they're only just starting to catch up with him. He is far forward after all.
It may indeed well happen - but only after he retracts his formal, unambiguous endorsement of a far-right political group, which he might never do...I dare say when the inevitable happens, and popular culture tells everyone to like Morrissey again (as was the message c.2003-2006), it could well be due to someone like Robbie covering a Smiths or a solo track.
i have the impression that it is the "ridiculous people" who attach themselves to him, coz they want to feed from the breast of his stately public image that he has built up and maintained for decades, despite the criticism.I agree. He's got no pr skills, but his gut instinct is usually going in the right direction, even if he's rude & gets attached to some ridiculous people.
Robbie should absolutely cover a Morrissey song, I reckon he'd do a great job on First Of The Gang! Also I seen an interview with Rick Astley recently and he said he'd love to do a gig of just Smiths songs...actually saw Rick in concert last year and on one of the songs he had the picture of him and Moz together as a backdrop (along with other images). The picture that was taken when they were on TOTP together and Moz used it on the re-release of Last Of The Famous International Playboys.I dare say when the inevitable happens, and popular culture tells everyone to like Morrissey again (as was the message c.2003-2006), it could well be due to someone like Robbie covering a Smiths or a solo track.
