I like Morrissey's malapropism with the word empirical.
It always makes me laugh when pop celebrities try to pass for intellectuals; they make the elementary mistake of assuming that because a lot of people like to listen to their songs they therefore have something worth saying.

The difference between Morrissey & the like of Vis. Benn is that the latter were capable of communicating the language of the left in a educated, reasoned & digestible terms i.e. their preaching had the potential for "conversion" (but not realised, to whatever end.) Morrissey, while those who choose to can comb some subjective truths out of his words, just shouts the sort of union boss junk platitudes that will turn off anyone but nodding dog Guardian/Indy types.

Had to look it up (malapropism), but agreed, my first thought was empirical has nothing to do with empire. Kind of pseudo intellectual enough for him though.

I think you've set yourself up with a false opposition there.

This just in, Morrissey to perform a medley of I Know It's Over/Miserable Lie/Every Day is Like Sunday at the closing ceremony.

"The world would be a lot worse without Morrisey."

You see, I'm just not sure that's true anymore. I'm not saying that I WANT him to die but I do think he stopped producing anything of any merit a long time ago.

I love The Smiths. I'm very glad that Morrisey existed but I think he's turned into a rather embarrassing parody of himself. And I honestly think he's not entirely sane.
