completely understand this rant...westieeMarch 11 2008, 20:34:43 UTC
wow, are we related!? Are you my long lost identical twin? Cuz I have never ever heard anyone talk about their dislike of drinking the way I do. I really agree with this. I hope that he doesn't drink a lot. Or that he views it as a strong forefront means of having a good time, or the only way to feel at peace at certain moments, because then that would disappoint me. Greatly

Well no wonder we wended up friends ;) In my family, alcohol related stories haven't really touched me, it was always long time ago with people I hardly treat. Drugs have come closer. But I never turned away from explanations of what alcohol does, and I have, of course, seen it in action. I've never understood that kind of fun, nor the amusement of the day after. Following that line, we could get our kicks from being hit by a bus.

I've never understood it either. And when I would just sit back to watch the people I thought I knew let alcohol take over them, I wondered who they really were? Things would be better if alcohol was not in anyone's equation. Though I never knew my great grandfather, I could see liveday examples of people I am sometimes, and now rarely around. That's enough to make me turn the other cheek to alcohol.
I agree with you Di, I don't want his to waste one bit of his beautiful life. I hate alcohol and I think it's stupid to take anything into your body that messes with your mind in a way that you can't think straight, it's why so many people are killed every year from drunk driving. Plus how can anyone knowingly drink or take anything that you know will eventually kill you? I mean it's like smoking, you know you'll get lung cancer eventually so why on earth would you smoke. I mean, I think I remember hearing somewhere that Morrissey thinks smoking is an awful thing...so what makes drinking so different

He can't possibly think of us as people who will like seeing him drunk. We're not that type, we follow HIM instead of any crashing bore, and he's starting to act like one. I'm so afraid. One thing is not being able to figure him out, that's always added up to my love for him, and one thing is allowing the man to wear leather shoes because he says so. And accepting his bare ass revealed after years of low trousers...(and now I'm off for a ride), but the plain, stupid drinking that, like you say, is no different than smoking except in a bad way: alcohol makes you act horrible whereas smoking kills you silently.
I really do think that maybe he had a bad night, and really that is NO EXCUSE for drinking and then trying to put on a concert. He was super emotional and there were numerous points on stage where he stopped singing because he was crying, yeah I saw tears. Maybe that was all a show that he put on to cover up him forgetting his own lyrics (which he did openly admit) but that was ONE part of the show that I actually enjoyed. I love how emotional he is when he sings, it hits me right in the heart. Now I'm off topic, but where I was headed with that was...if you look back into his past, he really never was a happy person. I'm sure that led into the drinking and still like I said before it is no excuse. But now doesn't he say he's happy with his life for the first time...so why continue to drink...if you are so happy with your life, please don't waste the rest of it!
I like it when he gets emotional, like singing Please please....., that's lovely. Maybe, just maybe, he started drinking and the illusion of being happier made him say so. It's the first time I wish he was in love. I love him. I wouldn't let him drink a lot, though it costed me his company.

yes it's pretty sad (if it's true), but I do think he's mature enough not to become a nasty alcoholic. let's think he just need this kind of relax after hard night. every now and then. Not always! Don't be so sad! let's hope for better future for all of us) (including him)
