Today's song is this Morrissey/Street composition, the closing track on Viva Hate.

it's ultimately a fairly shallow piece of propaganda that amounts to nothing deeper than "I hate Thatcher". This level of hate directed at another human being also leaves him open to similar treatment - he really can't complain about any brickbats thrown his way when this is exactly the sort of thing he does himself.
He's a profoundly flawed and often contradictory human being (oh hi, human condition!) but lots of this is bollocks, sorry. Are you seriously arguing that anyone who's ever started a band has done so in order to create a "wealth-creating business"?And not even sincere. He is the embodiment of what Thatcher preached. He valued education and literacy (just not the educational system - but then it's the same comprehensive system that Thatcher railed against), he basically started his own, or jointly-owned, wealth-creating business (The Smiths), he believes in minimal taxation of his earnings and he doesn't believe in society. His animus against Thatcher was always just a sop to the NEM/left-wing media. For all his outspokenness on certain issues, it would have surely been career suicide to say back then that he basically agreed with her about a lot of things.
Back then, Morrissey was praised when he wished death to someone.
Will Morrissey survive this annoying "woke" era? stay tuned.Now, nobodies are praised when they wish death or ill will to Morrissey.
Will Morrissey survive this annoying "woke" era? stay tuned.
