Joining the list of once iconoclastic Br*tish musicians that became fascist bootlicking Zionists- Morrissey, Nick Cave, Radiohead (the entire band), Johnny Rotten, and on and on.
Now wait a sec - even Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway? They at least use the genocide label and repost social media stuff... okay maybe that doesn't beat playing in Israel.
Damn, I didn't even know about his views, super disappointing.
At least Roger Waters is consistent on this issue. (Though he did just appear on Tucker Carlson...)
Okay, I give up with the old guys. All hail King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard!
Can't see the King Gizz post without logging in.
"Became" fascist
“Reggae, for example, is to me the most racist music in the entire world. It's an absolute total glorification of black supremacy... I don’t have very cast iron opinions on black music other than black modern music which I detest. I detest Stevie Wonder. I think Diana Ross is awful. I hate all those records in the Top 40 – Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston. I think they’re vile in the extreme... Obviously to get on Top Of The Pops these days, one has to be, by law, black” -Morrissey, 1986
Nick Cave mostly sings about sexual violence, killing women, treating them as sex objects. There's also his weird lyrics about "homos" and that one song where the narrator murders an f-slur because it was so shameful to do drugs and fuck a man.
Yeah, obviously in hindsight they always were, but they could maintain plausible deniability by hiding behind their public personas as liberal darlings in an age before social media. I can't believe the shit Morrissey used to get away with saying back then. Just an absolutely vile bigot who got a pass because of his "quirky, depressed gay man" image.
Yeah Morrissey was wild. That man called Chinese people a "subspecies," like pure white supremacism, and people still mostly just talked about the vegan thing.
