The Smiths we're a moment in time, even if they collaborated again, it'd not be the same....

Now if we could get Morrissey on ocular assault charges for all his little fan bats that hatched......

Morrissey is still making records, but he just isn't the same without Marr.

Where are all the pop/rock singers like Morrissey hiding nowadays?

God, I love Morrissey's voice.

Television's role in the coup against Chávez

Saturday May 26, 2007
The Guardian


Dear Sir,

We believe that the decision of the Venezuelan government not to renew the broadcasting licence of RCTV when it expires on May 27 (Chávez silences critical TV station, May 23; Comment and Letters, May 25) is legitimate given that RCTV has used its access to the public airwaves to repeatedly call for the overthrow of the democratically elected government of President Hugo Chávez. RCTV gave vital practical support to the overthrow of Venezuela's elected government in April 2002 in which at least 13 people were killed. In the 47 hours that the coup plotters held power, they overturned much of Venezuela's democratic constitution - closing down the elected national assembly, the supreme court and other state institutions.

RCTV exhorted the public to take to the streets and overthrow the government and also colluded with the coup by deliberately misrepresenting what was taking place, and then conducting a news blackout. Its production manager, Andrés Izarra, who opposed the coup, immediately resigned so as not to become an accomplice.

This is not a case of censorship. In Venezuela more than 90% of the media is privately owned and virulently opposed to the Chávez government. RCTV, far from being silenced, is being allowed to continue broadcasting by satellite and cable. In Venezuela, as in Britain, TV stations must adhere to laws and regulations governing what they can broadcast. Imagine the consequences if the BBC or ITV were found to be part of a coup against the government. Venezuela deserves the same consideration.

Yours,

Tariq Ali

For Goofball_Jones (and anyone else who needs a refresher): Morrissey

If he does submit a song to Eurovision, I'm parking my butt at YouTube until the video is posted.

Wonderful. Morrissey deserves such a tormented trip to the front.

*steps off to remove it from the damned

Thanks for the heads-up. I found a live link and replaced it.

In reply to your comment:
“the morrissey video is dead...”

the morrissey video is dead...

Cool. One more try! This one died for me when 4 votes were the hurdle, but it remains Morrissey's finest moment without Smiths.
