Det är nog inte främst de textrader som framgår på skivan som gör att Lokko blir lite bajsig i byxan över sin forna idol. Efter att ha läst senaste Morrissey intervjun med Der Spiegel så blir det rätt krossat kristallglasklart varför vissa musikskribenter måste känna ett visst skriande behov av att distansera sig, Moz har gått fullt Alt-right!
Några beklämmande extrakt;
SPIEGEL: Mr Morrissey, in your new song "Spent the Day in Bed", you recommend that you no longer see any news. A serious proposal?
Morrissey: Yes. People should stop doing so for their own sanity. You have to stop. The news is just social engineering, and it's about control, not information. There are no more messages. Only control.
SPIEGEL: What do you think about the anti-Israeli BDS movement? So in particular of artists who do not appear in Israel for political reasons?
Morrissey: I AM against it. When I play in Russia, I do not sing for Putin. I sing for the people there. It is absurd and narrow-minded. Being politically correct IS incorrect. It IS absurd. It means forbidding the freedom of speech. This is how the BDS movement sounds to me.
Relativiserar metoo kampanjen och Spaceys påstådda övergrepp..
SPIEGEL: Since we're here in Hollywood, have you followed the debates on Harvey S`qs`q, Kevin Spacey, and #MeToo?
Morrissey: Up to a point, yes BUT then it became a play. All at once ALL owe. Anyone who has ever said to someone else, "I like you," is suddenly being charged with sexual harassment. You have to put these things into the right relations. If I can not tell anyone that I like him, how would he ever know? Of course, there are extreme cases, rape is disgusting, any physical attack is repugnant. But we have to SEE it in proportion. Otherwise, every person on this planet is guilty. We can not decide permanently from above, WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT. Because then we are ALL in the trap. Some people are already awkward when it comes to romance. They do not know what to do and then their behavior is aggressive.
Och det är väl ungefär här som Lokko et al börjar hulka på riktigt;
SPIEGEL: So you think Angela Merkel is the mother of Europe?
Morrissey: Nunsie is smart enough not to say much. She stays silent, which is very interesting. but I'm sad that Berlin has become the rape capital.
SPIEGEL: The what? Capital of the Rape?
Morrissey: Yes, yes1 Because of the open borders. Many people think it was a mistake of Angela Merkel, that she said in the beginning: "Come, come all here!" And then: "Yikes, yikes, but not!"
SPIEGEL: So you are against to take on fugitives?
Morrissey: Okay, let's talk about multiculturalism. I want THAT Germany is German. I want France to be French. If you try to make everything multicultural, you will not have any culture at the end of your meal. ALL European countries have fought for their identity for many, many years. And now they just throw it away. I think that's sad.
SPIEGEL: But they live in the US, which came into being in their current form because people came from everywhere.
Morrissey: Every single country has its history of revolutions and liberation. Other countries do not have your story. It is not easy to connect THAT. When people immigrate, they bring their religion and their customs with them and try to establish them. And there begins the confusion.
SPIEGEL: So you say everyone should stay where he is?
Morrissey: (laughs loudly) No. But I think every country should keep its identity. Millions of people have died for German identity. If you think you deserve respect, then you must protect your country.
SPIEGEL: Mr. Morrissey, we thank you for this interview.

Spretiga åsikter, som väntat. Men beklämmande ? Hursomhelst knappast "fullt Alt-right".
Trump är absurd, beter sig som ett barn och är ett stort skadedjur, enligt Morrissey:
Citat:
Whether they criticize him or laugh at him, he does not care, he just wants to see his picture and his name. The American media have shot themselves in the leg. Since he was in power, he has exhausted the world. He grabs after everything like a little child. He is not a leader. He is a vermin. A huge vermin.

Donald Trump IS absurd
I övrigt är Morrisseys kritik av mångkulturen inte ny, här från 2007:
Citat:
Morrissey blames immigration for 'disappearance' of British identity.
---
Morrissey has made an unexpected and to some of his fans a thoroughly unwelcome contribution to Britain's loaded immigration debate. The musician has delivered a swingeing attack on what he perceives to be Britain's encroaching multiculturalism and the loss of national identity.
"England is a memory now," he says, in an interview with the NME published yesterday. "The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in."
He goes on: "Although I don't have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England the more the British identity disappears. So the price is enormous. Travel to England and you have no idea where you are. It matters because the British identity is very attractive. I grew up into it and I find it very quaint and amusing. Other countries have held on to their basic identity, yet it seems to me that England was thrown away.
"You can't say, 'Everybody come into my house, sit on the bed, have what you like, do what you like.' It wouldn't work."
--
He denied his remarks could be interpreted as being racist or xenophobic. "Whatever England is now, it's not what it was and it's lamentable that we've lost so much," he said.

Att som Morrissey konstatera och påtala att de europeiska länderna steg för steg utplånar sin egen kultur genom massinvandring borde egentligen inte vara en kontroversiell åsikt, att förneka det är att stoppa huvudet i sanden. Det är inte en åsikt som per automatik är rasistisk.
"Berlin has become the rape capital" pga de öppna gränserna menar Morrissey, något som nog inte går att verifiera statistiskt. Djurrättsaktivisten Morrissey kanske har reagerat på att inte bara kvinnor är utsatta i Berlin ?

A Syrian refugee is detained in the German capital Berlin for a shocking act. The 23-year-old man is accused of raping pony in a zoo, reports Bild.de.

Morrisseys försvar av Kevin Spacey är väl annars det mest anmärkningsvärda:
Citat:
Morrissey: I think that's ridiculous. As far as I know, he was in a bedroom with a 14-year-old. Kevin Spacey was 26, boy 14. One wonders where the boy's parents were. One wonders if the boy did not know what would happen. I do not know about you but in my youth I have never been in situations like this. Never. I was always aware of what could happen. When you are in somebody's bedroom, you have to be aware of where that can lead to. That's why it does not sound very credible to me. It seems to me that Spacey has been unnecessarily attacked.
Har annars lyssnat igenom "Low in High School", inget mästerverk men fullt godtagbart. Svårt att hitta något riktigt kontroversiellt i texterna. Att tolka det som det "första högerextremistiska konceptalbumet" som Lokko gör är närmast rubbat. Någon skrev på twitter att Lokko är vår tids Sivert Öholm, vilket var träffande.
