QUOTE(¿ CHARLIE ? @ Aug 8 2012, 09:58 AM)  Pretty much none of The Smiths' material is political? At least half his solo career is completely self-centered as well. Have to agree with Charlie. There are a few tracks that are political but he was hardly Billy Bragg |

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that but given the vast majority of the band's output fell into either whimsical ("Sheila Take A Bow") or whiny ("Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me") I don't really think you have a leg to stand on. |

To be fair vidcapper does have a point - didn't Morrissey say that Meat Is Murder or The Queen Is Dead was against the Thatcher government?

One doesn't generally post a picture of a facepalm and accompany it with a *facepalm*.

I'd like to think he said this with a tinge of irony - either that or it's some backdoor promotion for an upcoming album?

Stop the bickering y'all and just listen to The Smiths. You'll be much happier.
