Everyone is tired of Morrissey adding his seal. The once iconic singer has spent more than two years torpedoing his reputation and career, tarnishing the legacy of his paintings as he sought his greatest reactionary and racist catches. Now, your BMG label has to do it, break ties and, of course, Morrissey’s field is accusing a new “diversity” initiative.
The news comes from Morrissey’s official website, which increasingly resembles the paintings of a right-wing conspiracy (apparently harmless, seeking to pump the advertising functionality of his recent album I Am Not A Dog On A Chain with statistics “based on the official list you follow,” which sounds like a hilarious warning) that BMG has named a new executive who “doesn’t need any other Morrissey albums. “
“This news is perfectly in line with the relentless galvanic horror of 2020,” Morrissey said on the site, in case you assume he has lost all sense of melodramatic and solipsist self-pity. “It would be incredibly far-fetched to expect something positive. My 3 albums with BMG were the most productive of my career and I help them to death. Recording them has been a pivotal moment in my life, and I thank the former BMG team and everyone involved for it. At all times it is vital for me to make music my way, and I would not need to be on a label that dictates exactly how its artists should behave, especially when the word “talent” is never mentioned. “
The ad, accompanied by a Morrissey cartoon symbol burning on a pyre, also reminds us that Morrissey’s residence in Las Vegas in 2021 is scheduled to continue as planned.
