Re: Article: "Morrissey Hospitalized in Michigan" - Billboard.com
This long thing I have written was in response to the Article: "Morrissey Hospitalized in Michigan"
Good God. This site just needs to be shut down. Or it shouldn't even have Morrissey's name in the title. It is seriously the biggest mistake I have ever made coming on here and creating an account. (I did for information about Morrissey) My bad. I know that I could just stop coming on and ignore it all but seriously, I have to say something. (All of you wildly express your opinions, I should also get to)
Morrissey is sick. Maybe he is not. Maybe he is struggling with depression, anxiety, maybe something is wrong with his sister, or his mother again, maybe there is something wrong with someone he is close to. Either way he is human and a lot of you need to remember that. You all need to remember that Morrissey says the things he does because he is human, and like all of us, he can say what he wants to. I don't know why on a thread where we are talking about the man being sick some of you have to bring up the things he said has said in the past though.
Also, it is ok for Morrissey to say the things he does. You know why? He has an incredible mind, the things he says are not too offensive, and seriously, he is pretty much better than most anyone on here, in fact he is better than all of us on here in a lot of ways, so yeah. The man can say what he wants. You don't have to agree, but you also don't have to make a huge shit out of it like you all always do. (Also he is better than the people he says crap about)
Plus, I don't know why it offends you all so much that he says these things. You all are or once were fans of Morrissey. But I don't know how you all call yourselves that. You get offended or annoyed when he says things about celebs and royalty/political figures, and then you go and put on your The Queen is Dead album, or listen to Margaret on the Guillotine, songs/albums were he quite bluntly expresses his distaste for certain things.
Makes no sense.
Also, being a fan of Morrissey you should also know that cancellations, disappearances, weird situations have surrounded Morrissey since he was in the Smiths. According to books and things I have read, Morrissey cancels, disappears, etc because he is upset/depressed/anxious. Again he is human. For years he has been an open book for us, expressing himself through his music, saying things through it that must be f***ing hard to get off his chest. And then he travels around the world singing nearly every night when on tour. How many of you all could do that, with depression (which we know he has, its been said in several places) We should actually laud him for doing so for so long.
I am saying all this because I care for Morrissey and the music he makes. Especially the music which has carried me a long way since I have discovered it. I am a new-er fan, I am just 20 years old. No I am not some crazy fanatic like the blue rose people or whatever the hell that is all about. I just LOVE Morrissey and his music because music is what my whole life is about.
Yes I have a ticket that I had to struggle to get the money for because I am a very poor college student. Yes I am nervous about the show not happening because I am having to skip school and travel. But that is no reason for me to lose my shit. I have tons of mental issues, and I am still not losing my shit about it, because at least I can be logical and say this to myself "Something must be wrong for him to start canceling dates on a tour he rescheduled."
I think a lot of you need to step away from this site and the computer and think. "Am I or am I not a fan of Morrissey? " You also need to think this "Why do I make a big shit about everything?"
That's my two cents. Come at me. I don't care because everyone is aloud to have their opinions. Just come at me intelligently is all I ask.
