He has a long history of condemnation, including attacks on reggae ("vile"), Elton John ("bring me his head"), Band Aid ("diabolical"), dance music ("the refuge for the mentally deficient"), Chinese people ("a subspecies") and many, many more.
@mtc: LOL. I was seriously debating whether to post his video, given his recent comment about the Chinese. But I had to succumb to the music of my youth. You can't beat nostalgia.

ReplyDeleteThat's funny. My Mexican-American friend Steve/Esteban is from LA and loves The Smiths.
My wife is Mexican American. Though not a Morrisey fan herself, alot of her Latina friends are mad for him.
