Morrissey IMO is a bit of a pretentious prat and not that fantastic.
Haha.. yeah, I had Panic stuck in my head all through school a few days ago.
I think there are many misconceptions (I'm not saying that you in particular have any) about Morrissey, just because of a lot of stuff that happened during the 80's and 90's (the absurd rumors of child molestation because of songs like Reel Around the Fountain, charges of racism, the lawsuits, etc, etc..) I think he has gotten kind of a swelled head as time goes on, and I can't say I agree with some of the things he's done and said, but I still love his music, and his voice, and most of all the lyrics (okay, okay, I swear I've
never had an obsession before this. I am not a crazed fan, either!). I don't think the music itself measures up to, say, the Smiths, but that would be hard without Marr. And Viva Hate, Your Arsenal, and Vauxhall and I were all stupendous records in my opinion, though his career as a solo artist has had some pretty severe ups and downs.
I do respect the way you feel - I hope I haven't come off like I'm trying to force my opinions on you.
