On holiday by mistake
Re: nothing to do with racism
Code:I think that the example I cited this morning is concrete. Morrissey Inc. has discriminated against listeners' nationality and decided that a certain demographic should not be allowed to download YOR nor pre-order tickets for his shows. I'm not upset that he won't tour Canada. I'm offended that I cannot purchase concert tickets or digitial product because of my nationality.[/QUOTE] It is hard to defend Morrissey's position over Canada. He hates the seal cull. He wont play there or release music there as a result. He does not take this stance with Spain (where they watch bulls fight) or Japan or Norway (where they hunt whales) or a multitude of other countries where animals are mistreated. I accept he is inconsistent in this regard. However, he is not racist against anyone including Canadians. To suggest that he is frankly ridiculous and you know it. To love Morrissey is to love his genius as well as his inconsistencies. Perhaps you cant have one without the other?
