Love Morrissey ♥
I know that very devoted fans of artists or public figures can been immensely inspired by the people they admire.
I think that's a good thing: anything that can enrich a persons life is a positive thing, in my opinion.
To those of you who are dedicated Morrissey fans - has Morrissey, as a person or a performance artists, inspired, shaped or changed who you are today?
There are two main ways I can think of, that Morrissey has altered my life/perception:
1 - I have found his strength in character, his "unapologetic" nature for just being who he is and not pandering to the media, very inspiring. Quite often, when I've been tempted to "back down" or let things go, I've thought of Morrissey and in a way, it's spurred me on to remain strong and not to back down. It's stopped me being lazy, in a sense, avoided the prison of wanting an "easy life" and letting things go. Rather than that, I feel more determined to be true to who I am.
2- I have been a vegetarian for 15+ years, but since seeing some of the footage and PETA issues raised through Morrissey's association, I have become a Vegan. I'm not even sure whether Morrissey himself is vegan, but that's not the actual issue. The fact is, it's through education and exposure raised by him, that has inspired this lifestyle change in me, and I'm far happier, healthier and centred for it.
So, has Morrissey inspired or ignited change in you?
