Yes, I was wondering who got kicked out of this thread too. There have been several arguments about music and art, in fact so many it's hard to keep track. By the way, Goober should not be confused with Gomer.

Apologize for this but I hate this fucking thread. It cost a good poster his place here.

Oh for Christ's sake. No one kicked me out. I got sick of the bitching and it got boring. I was writing mini-Bibles defending Morrissey against a total stranger, on the internet. I realized how fucking gay it was.

In retrospect, the ill-advised mixture of Morrissey and Bukowski that I offered should have put been put down like a sick horse as soon as my brain conceived of putting it together in the first place. Hindsight is always 20-20.

I still like Morrissey.
Phillips still thinks Morrissey is a piece of overrated shit.
The world still spins with both he and I on it.

This is an excellent site. As a still pretty recent Buk convert, I use it for reference reading and biographical information constantly, and the wealth of information it supplies -not to mention how succinctly and accessibly it is presented- is unparalleled. Phillips is the reason for that. His insults and assumptions in my direction hurt, yeah, but it's just what he does. No one held a gun to my head when I posted the link to that song. I was asking for trouble, and I got it.

Unintentionally, I insulted mjp's sensibilities with my use of Bukowski's dialog stapled onto the work of another artist who Phillips considers meritless. Obviously, to him, this seemed to be a crass and juvenile excercise in the worst way. He called me out on it, and he had a right to do so. I got caught up in his mudslinging, and I felt attacked and cornered...albeit harmlessly and absurdly, as -again- it's the internet.

It doesn't change the fact that Phillips runs a great site and that, officially or otherwise, he has the final say here.

So, la di da.

Bukowski is his own brand of brilliant - tenured profs in their Towers of Ivory will never accept his like in their padded domains. I'll stick with the outsiders every time. Like Bukowski needs a song to rep but.... a clear rep of an outsider looking in.

Yeah, but at least his last 4-5 posts are not 10,000 word essays on why Morrissey songs represent Bukowski. He, in this thread and other threads is now all about the one or two liners. Great.

This song by Radiohead;


perhaps not every line is relevant but it has a certain feel to it that brought it to mind when i read this thread.

Why has The Alabama Song not been mentioned.

Also, I should stay away more often if I get to come back to this.

Should do a better job of circulating back to posts previously placed. No, not Gomer, more like Lester - as in a Lester-like NyQuil binge. TBT was a good poster here but sadly it all went to fuck do to this thread - really all I was getting at. However anyone feels, Morrissey is an amazing lyricist. Problem with TBT was he was too thin-skinned and easy dice for any roller. Forums would be boring as shit if all we did was the Rockettes two-step.
