This is extremely good.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I saw that the other day. His fall from grace has been somewhat fascinating...though not surprising. His lyrics and interviews have been littered with amazingly tone deaf comments for decades. I admit I was a huge Smiths fan as an awkward teen and I continued to be a fan until not that long ago...but as the quality of his music has declined and his stupid comments have increased...I really find him to have become massively distasteful.
But that's not stopped you enjoying The Smiths music tho' right?
It hasn't. Their music meant a lot to me for so long and I really have enjoyed a lot of Morrissey's solo work. To be honest, I liked Spent the Day in Bed when it came out. Just seems like there was a point where he could say dumb things and it wasn't exactly "funny" but there was a bite and a wit to it and then he lost that edge and just started coming across as being woefully behind the times. I've often felt he doesn't really believe a lot of the stuff he says - he just says it to be provocative because that worked for him for so many years - but he's lost the ability to be witty and he's now just boorish. I don't want to be an apologist because he's said some really dumb/awful things as of late. It's all really just kind of sad.
I think you have to separate the artist from the music at times. Unless the artist starts to use his music to spread hatred etc then I have no problem enjoying it.

Let me get this straight just so I am not misreading this. You are saying you had to pretend to like Morrissey to get laid in high school?

Please tell me your taking the piss. You had to like a celebate man to get laid. Man some meat really is murder.

Kind of a strange argument in that article. The author has guessed that it's because people have been mean. The official reason was a "logistical" problem which could mean anything from visa problems to lack of insurance to threats to lack of ticket sales to anything.

But most likely it was Borrissey’s fault.

You may very well be right but the article is just one big strawman fallacy.

You have to get used to people reading between the lines. Morrissey gets what he deserves of course but it's just boring to me when I see people dedicating a whole blog page to his antics. The only one winning is Morrissey.

Some needs to put out a record called Morrissey Gets What He Deserves. I’ll design the album cover.

Usually with Morrissey there is no need to read between the lines. He's always been direct since the early days of The Smiths.

Nice little echo of "There Is a Light" in this.
