Morrissey: Bush (Jr) should have died, not Reagan
MANCHESTER 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."

1. They hate us for our freedom,
or maybe it's because of our legacy of neo-fascist corporate globalist enabling leaders.

3. His song America is not the World is sure to tip the neocons off
It seems Mr Morrissey is not a fan of the current representation of America.
