    NME: The Smiths tribute band re-opening Brixton Academy: “We’re grateful and humble” (April 19, 2024)

    Really quite disingenuous of the NME the way that is written. It is obvious that the singer hasn't said anything or expressed any thoughts about Morrissey's views.

    Tell us about the last film you watched, pt 2

    Civil War. Really enjoyed this. A big fan of Alex Garland. Ex Machina and Men were excellent. In some ways a more US and up to date companion-piece to Banshees of Inisherin. A vision of what happens when people stop being civil to each other. And it gets ugly. The movie starts off slowly but the...

    Tell us about the last film you watched, pt 2

    Wicked Little Letters. I could watch anything with Olivia Coleman. She's great. This movie is ok. It's based on a true story that apparently gripped England in the 1920s, the decade that came after the Suffragette campaign before World War I that culminated in the Representation of the People...

    Jesus of Nazareth, known as "J-dogg" by some

    Malarkey is one of the worst culprits of that, goinghome, although you seem to turn a blind eye to it when she does it. I think most of us are fairly tolerant of the worst of her obsessiveness - as Lawrence Sterne put it, "even the wisest, not excepting Solomon himself, had their whims and their...

    Morrissey’s view on gender identity

    Yes, unfortunately, that is probably very true. Pushing this ideology on children has several objectives. If you want to create 'patients' who have to stay on 'treatment' for the rest of their lives, get them while they are young. The profit margins are just so much better. Children are also the...

    Used to run insta fanpage with 31k followers then it got taken down

    No. Maybe this is a gift. An opportunity to stop, look at yourself in the mirror, and re-evaluate your life?

    Morrissey’s view on gender identity

    So, there is basically about 90% of the population who is 'gender critical'. That means they think that trans people deserve compassion and respect, but you can't change biological sex. And biological sex matters when it comes to safe spaces for women and women's sports. In that 90% are many...

    Introducing myself

    No. I'm Irish. But I speak Portuguese. Have visited Brazil many times. Love the country and the people. As a country it has its problems - but what country doesn't.

    Nick Cave mentions Morrissey disappointment in Q&A (April 2024)

    Great words from Mr Cave. All those names joined that list of great artists when they were quite young. Morrissey was no exception. It is tempting to ask, where are the younger artists coming along now to add to that list? There is no new artist I can think of currently that would come near...

    New Moz photo by Andrew Quinn - "on Cut Throat Lane"

    Yes, you are correct that I have often suggested in my posts that words ending in - ist and -ism and -phobic are vague and over-used. Especially when the word 'systemic' is added before them. But I have never, and would never, suggest that there is no such thing as prejudice. Prejudice is very...

    New Moz photo by Andrew Quinn - "on Cut Throat Lane"

    God, if that happened to me, I would be a jabbering mess, incapable of coherent speech. This man is royalty to me - a hero in every sense of the word. All those times laid in awe on the bedroom floor. I think meeting him in the flesh would almost be painful.

    What do Moz fans think about 'Notre Dame'?

    Yes, the production on RWA was odd. Is that what he meant by 'sabotage'?

    Off-topic discussion thread / moved as clogging other threads

    Poor sod. Having Special Agent Malarkey on his case is enough to make him emigrate, never mind make his account private.

    Yes, the pics of Gilbert and George are rather cool.

    New Moz photo by Andrew Quinn - "on Cut Throat Lane"

    Casual ageism is not cool. Moz looks great. The man's a legend. Here's hoping there is an imminent deal announcement with Stray Ferret Records.

    Jesus of Nazareth, known as "J-dogg" by some

    The origins are older than the Old Testament. I think the first mention of head covering goes back to ancient Assyria in the 13th century BCE. You are right about Khadija - although much of that was PR to win over her tribe, the Quraysh, which was key to his development as a political leader in...

    Jesus of Nazareth, known as "J-dogg" by some

    The origins of head and face coverings for women are obviously shrouded in prehistory. There is a debate amongst anthropologists and cultural historians as to the origins. Psychologists such as Freud have also contributed to that debate. Why do we 'cover' something? One reason is we cover...

    Jesus of Nazareth, known as "J-dogg" by some

    This is the origin of the niqab: Women are unclean. A man going with a woman makes him unclean too and pollutes him. A man should limit contact with his wife to procreation only. His wife should cover up to show that she is the man's property, and to prevent her 'tempting' any other men and...
