Morrissey on Bowie...

[Dookus]

Why hasn't he killed himself yet? He's in my deadpool, along with Michael Stipe and Natalie Merchant:

MORRISSEY has launched a scathing attack on DAVID BOWIE during his first television interview in 17 years.

He labeled Bowie "showie", claiming that the veteran artist was a "business’". He went on to say that the public only fell in love with Ziggy Stardust, and the visuals for Ziggy were dreamt up by someone else.

Morrissey also tore strips off the artist in an interview in the April edition of GQ magazine.

"(He is) not the person he was. He is no longer David Bowie at all. Now he gives people what he thinks will make them happy, and they're yawning their heads off. And by doing that, he is not relevant. He was only relevant by accident."

The attack on the veteran artist will be broadcast tonight (May 14) on 'The Jonathan Ross Show', where the former Smiths frontman also performs two songs, current single ‘Irish Blood, English Heart’ and the classic 1988 single ‘Everyday Is Like Sunday’.

Relations were not always tense between the two, as Bowie covered the Morrissey track ‘I Know It's Going To Happen Someday' on his Black Tie White Noise album in 1993, and asked Morrissey to join him on his 1995 tour, though Morrissey left the tour before it was over.

1. Morrissey isn't fit to shine Bowie's shoes

morrissey;a depressing shitbag with little or no discernable talent.

[Dookus]

2. I agree

of course.

Morrissey is gonna lecture Bowie on 'relevance'? It is to laugh.

3. Morrissey is still whining?

4. I don't understand why such

depressed self-hating artists don't do us the courtesy of committing suicide. At least they'd have a shot at long-lasting fame.

jerk

8. Robbie Williams

Why can't the eunuch pick on Robbie Williams like everyone else?

[Dookus]

9. eggzactly....

Robbie Williams is cute, but unimportant. Why pick on Bowie?

Morrissey prays every night he can be as "relevant" as Bowie.

10. "Now he gives people what he thinks will make them happy"

I saw Bowie Sunday night and I have to admit that he made me happy. What a show!!!

[Dookus]

11. good for you...

I saw this tour last month. I scored front-row seats. He's our generation's Sinatra - a total icon.

12. Wow, your soldiers are REALLY out of control....

I mean, first they make a load of naked Iraqis pile on top of each other, then they force the king of depressive teenage flowerwank pop to mount the Thin White Duke........oh hang on.......I've misunderstood.

Morrissey can suck my balls. Bowie rocks - saw him live at Glastonbury about 5 years ago and he was a genius.

To use Homer's phrase to the Smashing Pumpkins, "Making teenagers depressed - where's the challenge in that?".

I've never understood the "appeal" of Morrissey. Boring, pretentious twaddle mostly.

13. Bowie sucks now though

Not even close to his 70s stuff.

I mean it sounds alright, but in your heart you know it's shit.

[muchacho]

15. uh...

no. Even his shit is head above the less-than-shit created today...generally.
