I think Morrissey and the bands performance was absolutely fantastic. Playing to a clueless audience, the camera men made sure to pan over the audience and show everyone sitting and not moving. I LOVED HIS PANTS AND SHIRT or TROUSERS AND BLOUSE, if you prefer. All of his accessories were on point. I was cheering him and the band the whole way through their 3 song set and I had a smile on my face the whole time with an occasional laugh. It was quite a joyful experience for me. I also loved his big "Go To Hell!" statement which was made when he didn't appear with the rest of the musicians as pop fixtures on a stage where "Royalty" was present.
I didn't even think to wonder that people, if that's what they are, would be bitching and acting like PETULANT, DIVA, CHILDREN over Morrissey's choice of clothing. What is going on with some of you? You love him, you hate him and then you hate on him some more. Is there really a need to be so ungracious when we get to see Morrissey on a very rare TV appearance?
And the comments over what Morrissey said about the endless amounts of animals killed each day and that most people don't blink an eye is spot on! (I'm badly paraphrasing of course)
Even if you don't agree with what Morrissey said I believe he has the right to say whatever the hell he wants. AND WHY!!?? does a comment like that make so many people here so furious? Morrissey was responsible for naming an album MEAT IS MURDER. Someone in this world has to speak up for the weak and bullied (murdered.) That's what he is doing. No matter what kind of cognitive dissonance his statement caused in some people, don't you know to expect statements which may seem radical to many as he is always trying to push the boundaries of how people think? You would have thought Morrissey himself murdered someone by the reactions I read.
Morrissey has directly spoken to all of the people who like to bully him for whatever he says, does, wears, whatever....
"IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME THEN DON'T LOOK AT ME! THERE MUST BE SOMEBODY ELSE WHO CAN TAKE YOUR GAZE AWAY..."
Remember????
Again, Fantastic performance, Fantastic just to see him perform somewhere like the Nobel Peace Prize Concert.
Having the handsome Aaron Eckhart as one of the hosts was a lovely treat!
