Listen.
I just want to make this perfectly clear in the most polite way possible. I love Morrissey.
Do I love him as much as Johnny? No, but that's personal preference.
But if you're gonna come onto my blog, reblog every one of my Smiths post, and try to befriend me then just please note, understand, and be aware that I love him.
I have been through constant unending cycles of people coming into my life, befriending me and gaining my trust, for a week, or sometimes several months, only to then decide oh, god. Morrissey's just too awful. He's just too heinous, too cruel, too bigoted, too racist, too inhumane, too negative, too whatever. Then I'm blocked, and I am left bereft again.
So I'm just giving a big, giant DNI to all Smiths fans until you have really legitimately thought on and decided that you are okay with who Moz is, the controversies he's embroiled in, and the things he's said and done (though I'm not ever saying you have to endorse them. Just be at peace with them).
If you think, well that might make me a little uncomfortable - that's okay! Just block my blog and don't interact with me. We can both live our lives peacefully in our own corners of the internet. There's no need to fight or be mad or be disappointed.
No, I don't agree with everything that comes out of Moz' mouth, my dude really needs to dump his nephew off a cliff and get an advisor who isn't afraid to say no to him, but I do love him. I will probably love him my whole life. I have Still Ill tattooed on my body. I have every book about him on my bookshelf aside from that shitty one by Johnny Rogan. I paid $300 to go see him last October and loved every minute of it.
So please. Please DNI in anyway if this bothers you or upsets you or potentially could bother you in the future. I'm fine with that, it doesn't offend me if you don't like him. God knows he's not perfect. But I just don't want to go through yet another period of mourning someone I thought I could trust, okay? It's exhausting.
