Jesus fucking Christ, Morrissey

[Christmas Ape]

Yeah I don’t know what the board consensus on Bragg is but he’s one of my favourite ever songwriters and an unfailingly pretty sound moral compass

[Beautiful Jugdish]

paul weller is also still good

if we're talking about good ppl from that era

[thrasher]

I got to meet bragg a couple years ago when he invited DSA to table at his shows and he was a really kind generous dude. and yeah his commitment to left politics is pretty admirable

[badhat]

its hard to say hes underrated cuz i feel like he's mostly held in pretty high esteem but i guess just isn't talked about much but Talking with the Taxman... Don't Try this At Home and his Peel Sessions Collection are just absolutely incredible.

also the doc about him and Wilco and grant showbiz making Mermaid Ave is really really great

[chargie]

this is true, morrisey has been a shitbag forever

Clicked on a thread about Marr saying he disagreed with Morrissey and I guess most Morrissey fans are just full blown fascist now from the comments I read

I was going to say the same thing this morning! Also - see my other posts. I will repeat: it’s not about race, it’s about culture. These idiots that label us as “racist” or “haters” or “anti-LBGT” cannot debate or think critically. Call me a “culturist.” I am anti-Islam, not anti-Muslim. Islam is a culture. Not a race.

The Morrissey forum had a boarder exchange with Stormfront

[bro tones]

how could you not like stevie? wtf

[wheeljack post about paul weller worrying about whether his vocal takes sound black enough]

and more loosely the jam were definitely pretty problematic by today's standards but that's a very important qualifier

[Sports Fan of the Year]

in what sense?

you know who really hates the jam? paul weller

[Beautiful Jugdish]

lol

i mean his approach to """""world music"""" was very problematic in that classically condescending white 80s/current california way, but at least he's not an open fascist now! (that's exactly how low my bar is)

[Beautiful Jugdish]

my bra is low too

[Seamus]

Paul Weller's hair is unforgiveable imo

[Beautiful Jugdish]

WHAT

[Rainbow Battle Kid]

thread has gone too far

[Ted Pikul]

he rocks some cool ass sunglasses

[bro tones]

isn't weller's current cut just the johnny marr?

[speakers]

this is true, morrisey has been a shitbag forever

so do marr get a pass for being in a band with a shitbag?

[Beautiful Jugdish]

bless you for your hard work and martyrlike devotion to this cause, speakers.

[speakers]

having a difficult time reckoning with famous racists you admire is not a cute part of your bit

[DatLostMan]

I am the last of the faaaaamous
racists you admire

[thrasher]

how could you not like stevie? wtf

yea this has always been a hard line for me, not open for discussion. imo if you dislike stevie you got bad taste and you're probably a bad person

[Christmas Ape]

Johnny marr hasn't been in a band/working relationship/friendship with said shitbag since he was a 23 year old in 1987 if this helps

Yo can we just lock this thread? There’s a year old medium post that reads exactly the same.

Of course, he’s not the only artist with problematic views. Stephen King has called HP Lovecraft “the greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale”. Joyce Carol Oates describes his influence upon all writers as “incalculable”.
But, and here’s the thing, Lovecraft wasn’t a very pleasant man.

huh?

While such friends on courses like engineering and maths reeled around the student union to Mousse T ft. Tom Jones, I’d retire to my bedroom and play Belle and Sebastian, hoping against hope that a sensitive woman might be passing by the window, forced to stop and knock a tentative knuckle against the glass and enquire after the obviously very cool and in-no-way-laddish lad who lay within.

There's all kind of memes about Lovecraft being a racist and having a dog named after a racist slur, but I haven't researched Wikipedia to confirm it's true.
