Halibut   12 #39 Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Morissey, give it another 10 years and no one will remember him. Angel1.  I can state with total authority that this is utter nonsense; the songs he wrote will still be remembered many years from now and long after he's dead.

Have to say I could not tell you the name of any of his or the Smiths songs and had to look them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Have to say I could not tell you the name of any of his or the Smiths songs and had to look them up.  The Smiths will remain famous even if you don't like them. Over 20 years after they split up david Cameron claimed to be a smiths fan (even though he couldn't name any of their songs) because he wanted to be "cool". Johnny Marr was offended, as Cameron was a supporter of animal torture and was trying to reverse the ban on legally hunting foxes.

Johnny Marr was offended, as Cameron was a supporter of animal torture and was trying to reverse the ban on legally hunting foxes.  The Smiths being famous, and remembering their songs are two differing things. Camerons Uni years coincided with the height of their their fame and people tend to remember the bands they grew up with at the time they were socialising more than others. Most people who like them I suspect are also around his age @ 45-55 and remember them as they were, and as said it will be those very fans that remember them.

I’m just baffled as to why newspapers think anyone gives a monkeys.  I suppose it’s interesting in as much that the Far Right has no one famous, a celebrity, writer, sportsperson etc who shares the Far Rights vision or values ( not that I’m aware of) and along comes lame brain Morrisey.  Obviously Far Right individuals are all over the Internet, we have them on Sheffield Forum, but they’re not particularly newsworthy.
