Gabba Gabba Hey
SORRY, title should read: WHY IS MORRISSEY ALLOWING HIS NEPHEW TO TURN UNCLE STEVEN'S CAREER INTO A JOKE?
This was the person who used to be so f***ing meticulous about the minute details of creative output like color tint, font, the angle of a photo.
Morrissey letting his nephew drive Uncle Steven's reputation into the Dumpster over the past 6 or so months with amateur video and "artwork" has gotten me thinking...
How will we really remember Morrissey? We all know the early music was stellar (although we saw the bottom drop out with "World Peace," coincidently the only LP without Alain fingerprints), but his product (cover art, posters, video) has plummeted to the amateur depths of a chubby 12-year-old child let loose with the MSPaint software that came free with his new Dell laptop.
If we're to assume that Morrissey controls the output of all of his content (adverts, cover art, merchandise), then you have to ask yourself, "Does Morrissey give a f*** about about how he's remembered?" Of course he does, but he got lazy.
The fire is out. I saw PiL at the Fonda Theater this past Sunday and Lydon is still has angry and focused as it if were 1977.
It just kind of seems like he thinks his legacy with the Smiths and the first impeccable half of his solo career will be enough for people to remember him as one of the great ones. Or maybe he thinks there's one more "Vauxhall" in him to bookend his career.
