I Agree with Morrissey (*gasp shock*)in his statement about Sinead O’Connor…He’s Spot on…
It’s been forever since I could honestly say that I have agreed with anything that Morrissey has said. “Moz” as he is often referred to, has seemingly become everything that he once railed against in his youth. At one time, I was THE biggest Smiths/Morrissey fan and it has saddened me greatly to see this other side of him (which was hilariously manifest on an episode of The Simpsons). But, sometimes, all too rarely, Moz can make a statement that is both beautiful and eloquent, just as he did earlier awhile back regarding the passing of the Smiths bassist, Mike Joyce ( I remember sighing in relief when I read it, thinking, “Thank you, Morrissey, for not being a prat and writing something quite lovely in tribute to this person”).
So, when I heard about his most recent statement regarding the very sad passing of Sinead O’Connor, I braced myself, because honestly, that seems to be what most of us Moz fans do with regards to him, these days. There’s always this uneasy feeling of “Oh god, what’s he said/done NOW?” But as I read his words, I thought, “Fuck yes, Moz, you’re absolutely right.”
Here’s the link for his entire statement:
