Morrissey: 'Bush should have died, not Reagan' |
|
http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/news/s/119/119107_bush_should_have_died_not_reagan_morrissey.htmlMANCHESTER music legend Morrissey sparked controversy when he announced Ronald Reagan's death live on stage during a concert - and then declared he wished it was George Bush who had died instead.
Thousands of fans at Dublin Castle, in Ireland, cheered when the ex-Smiths frontman made the announcement that the former American president, who had battled with Alzheimer's Disease, had passed away.
And an even bigger cheer followed when Morrissey - who is no stranger to controversy - then said he wished it had been the current President, George W Bush, who had died.
Fan Tony Murray said: "He commented about the death of Ronald Reagan and when he wished that it was George W instead the crowd went wild."

2. Moz had better watch it ... |

... he lives in L.A. now. Dubya will send Ahnold out to rearrange his face (or Asscroft & goon squads to threaten his life).

3. yep, that could be interpreted as a threat against his life |
|
That would be an excuse to have the Secret Service bring him in.
of course, that would be a totally bogus interpretation, and that is political speech, but, hey, we live in a fascist regime.
In reality, they would never do that to anyone high-profile; but to you and me, they can do that with impunity.
