Lead singer of Depeche Mode.

I thought that was Robert Smith?

I like Morrissey's music, but I have never followed his personal life. What makes you despise him? Serious question.

He holds strong views on certain topics, which is fair enough, nothing to hate the guy over.

However, if you don't subscribe exactly to his opinions he will belittle you and attach VERY stark labels to you like murderer etc

Here's a comment he made about the Norwegian massacre from a few years ago

"We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 dead. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald's and Kentucky Fried [Expletive] every day."

How about this comment about Chinese people

"Did you see the thing on the news about their treatment of animals and animal welfare? Absolutely horrific. You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies."

You know what, if I was working airport security and had to pat down Morrisey I'd probably take a little more time over it than usual - How many times are you going to get the opportunity to have a rub down on a cult celeb like Morrisey, it would be worth a formal reprimand.

I took that as a joke post. Pretty funny, too.

It's not impossible. Dude has some seriously looney fans and some TSA agents have been known to be a little more 'hands on' than they should, maybe it was a combination of both?

I think we've found one.

Kinda gross that people are dismissing this and cracking jokes because of their personal opinion of the man.

This is how rape cases end up being dismissed because the victim was known to be "promiscuous".

Why are people piling up on Morissey and not adressing the real issue here : The fucking TSA ?

I've traveled all over the world. This kind of groping, being systematically treated like shit and feeling almost violated only happens in the US.

I agree that Morissey is a loonie but I'm glad he's pressing charges. Even if it's " standard " procedure, this kind of shit should never happen. We understand you're paranoid and everyone is a terrorist but you've taken that shit way too far.

If 'murica wasn't such an amazing country for vacations, I would have given up already lol

 

[shoplifter]

I was waiting to see if this would get posted.

He can be an absolute asshole (yes even us super fans can think so, but he's OUR asshole) but I believe the man here. He has traveled regularly and I have to believe that this happened given the state of TSA.

Also for the haters, I saw him twice this tour and his voice is better than it has ever been.

JOHNNY MARR WAS THE BEST SMITH

Yes, I agree.

Bummer if this is true, but it's hard to take much Morrissey does seriously, these days at least.
