Morrissey

ROCK star Mor­ris­sey has revealed he was quizzed by the FBI and Spe­cial Branch over his crit­i­cism of the US and Britain.

Mor­ris­sey, 46, has pre­vi­ously branded George Bush a ter­ror­ist and blasted the Iraq war.

The ex-Smiths singer, who lives in Los Ange­les, said: “The FBI and Spe­cial Branch have inves­ti­gated me and I’ve been inter­viewed and taped.

They were try­ing to deter­mine if I was a threat to the gov­ern­ment and sim­i­larly in England.

It didn’t take them long to realise I’m not.”

The star, who said he did not belong to any polit­i­cal group, claimed it showed nei­ther the UK nor Amer­ica was truly democratic.

He added: “You can’t really speak your mind and if you do, you’re investigated.”

In 2004, Mor­ris­sey claimed Mr Bush had made Amer­ica the world’s most “neu­rotic and ter­ro­rob­sessed country”.

Ear­lier that year, he told a Dublin gig he wished Mr Bush had died instead of Ronald Reagan.

  1. Career in a Coma, I Know, I Know, it’s serious.

    I am a Moon­bat and I need to belong, just like any­one else does.

    Panic in the streets of Bagh­dad, kill the Imam, kill the Imam.

    Stop me, oh oh stop me, stop me if you heard this Bush Derange­ment Syn­drome before.

    In all seri­ous­ness, the Smiths were one of my favorite bands of all time and I can sing the lyrics from about 25 of their songs. I also enjoyed Morrissey’s solo career:

    Novem­ber spawned a Lady­bird in the shape of this child, Nadia and Keld Bach made it so…

    The Suede­head video, where he vis­its James Dean’s home town
    in Indi­ana (I think it’s Fair­mont) is very moving.

  2. I wish I could say that this is shock­ing, but I can’t. In Bush Amer­ica, the truth is turn­ing into a crime.

Y’all should think back to the days when you insisted thatany crit­i­cism of the Pres­i­dent of the United States amounted to trea­son. Remem­ber that Reflubli­cans?” I do. That was back when your boy WPE was pres­i­dent. Maybe you should show the same kind of respect to the ‘Bamer. You should. But you won’t. That’s just how y’all roll. Hypocrites. @:
