But all Nazis were white.Not all Germans were Nazi's but that didn't really help matters.

That was a stupid thing to say, wasn't it?

He already has. Admittedly, it was a pretty duff song but the first track on Ringleader (I Will See You In Far Off Places) is seemingly set in the Middle East and features the lyric, 'and if the USA doesn't bomb you'.Not got any thoughts on the song itself, cos it has not been released, but the title itself is grim and misjudged, to me. Sensationalist. If he would also do a song about brown countries being bombed with arms sold to them by the rogue states of America and England, I would be more accepting.
Thanks for adding this quote. I'd forgotten that he'd explained it a little.M:
It's about the kids who were murdered, yes. We are not encouraged to look beneath the surface because it's dark and hidden. But the song is anti-terror, and anyone who finds that offensive can only be devoid of personal morality. As your brother once said to me, the Manchester Arena Bombing was Britain's 9/11. We should appreciate anyone who asks questions.”
He already did that one - it's called 'I Will See You In Far-Off Places'.If he would also do a song about brown countries being bombed with arms sold to them by the rogue states of America and England, I would be more accepting.
He probably can't read but sometimes I think it's that he purposefully pretends to misunderstand so he can restate the post of whoever he is attempting to troll at the moment and incite them to post a response. This might be giving him too much credit. Either way, he's best ignored.Can you read? Who mentioned anything about sullying songs or decent lyrics?
Both theories are plausible. I usually ignore him, but sometimes his idiocy is just too much and I find myself trying to reason with him. Joke’s on me, of course.He probably can't read but sometimes I think it's that he purposefully pretends to misunderstand so he can restate the post of whoever he is attempting to troll at the moment and incite them to post a response.

Fair enough. Not heard that one.He already did that one - it's called 'I Will See You In Far-Off Places'.
How was that tragic, vile, and disgusting event Britain's 9/11? You absolutely cannot compare the two. Was WWII, when the UK was bombed constantly, not worse than the Manchester event? 9/11 traumatised America, because it had not been attacked in such a fashion, except during Pearl Harbor. The IRA bombed the mainland UK multiple times. I think that making that sort of comparison is naive at best, clumsy and confused at worst.a wee joke
It wasn’t mentioned in the interview which song Iggy sings on. Some were making the guess that he sings on ‘Rebels’ simply because Morrissey sings about or mentions some punk bands in the song, that we assume are or were under appreciated rebels. So in that case, it does seem like a likely candidate for Iggy to sing on.
back to the topic ...,
“SAM:
'Bonfire of Teenagers' the track is magnificent, but you must be expecting some manufactured paranoia … the usual 'you can't sing about THAT' pearl fumblers.
M:
… because?
SAM:
It's about the Manchester Arena Bombing.

I do remember it being referred to in Nomadland and thinking that the person we’re supposed to believe is a Morrissey fanatic, is either (1) daft, or (2) a stooge. Diminished an otherwise OK film for me, as I felt it was conflicting with the mood.I should clarify that I was speaking specifically about his lyrics regarding politics and current events, nevertheless these don't do anything for me at all. The "Home is a Question Mark" lyric in particular is about as insightful as a Hallmark card and sullies an otherwise decent song. The other two are just whatever, nothing special.
I think your answer lies in column number one. The tattoo is definitely real and the scene a little too dissonant and corny to have been choreographed.I do remember it being referred to in Nomadland and thinking that the person we’re supposed to believe is a Morrissey fanatic, is either (1) daft, or (2) a stooge.

I’ve spent a few months dwelling on this.

I seem to remember Morrissey happily supporting the IRA blowing people up during The Smiths days. I expect the Manchester bombing felt different on several levels though: it literally was in his home city, it took place on his birthday, and it took place at an event that is his lifesblood (live music), at a venue he's played at before. It's not surprising it affected him.
