They say don't ever meet your heros and while Morrissey was far from that, his words and his voice featured heavily on the soundtrack of my youth. I had posters and t-shirts of The Smiths and their albums were always on constant rotation.

So it's all a bit disappointing isn't it when you find out that those you once held in high regard have, quite frankly, disappeared up their own asshole.

From Stereogum.

And as far as racism goes, the modern Loony Left seem to forget that Hitler was Left wing! But of course, we are all called racist now, and the word is actually meaningless. It's just a way of changing the subject. When someone calls you racist, what they are saying is "Hmm, you actually have a point, and I don't know how to answer it, so perhaps if I distract you by calling you a bigot we'll both forget how enlightened your comment was."

(tip of the hat to my old mucker @jaseyhall for the racist uncle reference)
