Maybe it is not about money for him. He doesn’t feel like selling-out and disregarding his own grudges (which everyone has a right to hold.) Go Moz.

why the f**k would he turn down 75 mil?? That’s insane! unless he already has 75 mil…

PETA are terrorist hypocrites. F_ck PETA.

Morrissey/Marr were the Lennon/McCartney of the 80s. If don’t know if they should reunite but don’t confuse Morrissey’s solo career with the brillance of the Smiths.

Wow… Morrisey is getting old and ugly. I wa considering seeing him when he comes to the Hammerstein in NYC, but then I figured before I even check tix prices that they’d be way too high.

what is funny is how MORRISSEY got the NEW YORK DOLLS to reform, yet he won’t reform his old band that is deeply influential….it’s too bad i was a big SMITHS’ fan in high school, and I’d love to see a reunion.

Who cares? The Smiths aren’t that much different from Morrissey anyway. Turning down 75 mil seems pretty retarded though.

Morrissey has integrity and that’s what makes him such a cherished indie icon. Most alternative artists Moz’s age have even finally buckled and accepted the fat pay check. Morrissey is as real as it gets.

Besides, Moz sings various Smiths songs alongside his solo material at his shows. Sounds just as good as The Smiths doing it. Johnny Marr was a brilliant guitar player but Moz doesnt need his old bandmates. He’s just as incredible without The Smiths.

Awww blame Morrissey for not wanting a half-assed reunion, it’s all his fault for breaking the hearts of fans across the universe :’(

GET OVER IT. He does what he wants to do. He has fans who like him solo, and appreciate the fact he likes where he is.

Also, I do not believe in hunting

or harming animals. I am, in fact

an animal lover. You made

sweeping statements about me

being cruel to animals when

nothing could be further from the

truth. You act completely on

your emotions and do not take any

time to think things through. I

was point their hypocracy, that’s

all. Maybe you’ll read the

article, but I doubt it. You

probably prefer to not allow the

truth wreck your twisted view of

reality. There’s nothing noble

about sticking your head in the

sand!

PETA’s Dirty Secret
7 Things You Didn’t Know About PETA
By ConsumerFreedom.com

Sunday, January 28, 2007

1) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group’s overall goal as “total animal liberation.” This means no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no wool, no leather, no hunting, no fishing, and no pets (not even seeing-eye dogs). PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals.

2) Despite its constant moralizing about the “unethical” treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, PETA has killed over 14,400 dogs and cats at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2005, PETA put to death over 90 percent of the animals it collected from members of the public.

3) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) activist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing recommendation, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. And PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich told an animal rights convention in 2001 that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation.”

4) PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, often waiting outside their schools to intercept them as they walk to and from class-without notifying parents. One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells small children: “Your Mommy Kills Animals!” PETA brags that its messages reach over 2 million children every year, including thousands reached by e-mail without the permission of their parents. One PETA vice president told the Fox News Channel’s audience: “Our campaigns are always geared towards children, and they always will be.”

5) PETA has used a related organization, the PETA Foundation, to fund the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a deceptive animal rights group that promotes itself as an unbiased source of medical and nutritional information. PCRM’s president also serves as president of the PETA Foundation.

6) PETA runs campaigns seemingly calculated to offend religious believers. One entire PETA website is devoted to the claim-despite ample evidence to the contrary-that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. PETA holds protests at houses of worship, even suing one church that tried to protect its members from Sunday-morning harassment. Its billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs “died for their sins.” PETA insists, contrary to centuries of rabbinical teaching, that the Jewish ritual of kosher slaughter shouldn’t be allowed. And its infamous “Holocaust on Your Plate” campaign crassly compares the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide with farm animals.

7) PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, because they support animal-based research that might uncover cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has said that “even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it.”

WarCruelyAndHate: I’m not creating lies. You just can’t handle the truth. They DO take in strays and THEY DO kill them! If you don’t want to believe that, I really don’t give a shit!

Hey Bukowski,
Just like your dumb leaders in the white house, you like to create lies. PETA isn’t in the business of euthanizing animals. They aren’t an animal shelter. And even if they did, there’s a time to euthanize, whether it be human or non-human. You can go and enjoy hurting and killing creatures weaker and more vulnerable than you. That’s like me, as a vegetarian, going into the woods and ripping out plants and killing trees for fun. Just because you eat meat, doesn’t mean you have to enjoy torturing, killing them for sport. sonuvabitch!

PETA euthanizes more domesticated animals than any other group. When they can’t find homes for these animals, they whack ‘em. I agree with Cooter, Fuck PETA. Morrissey, put the money in the bank, just in case a rainy day comes along.

I wish this would stop cause it’s the worst tease

PETA euthanizes more domesticated animals than any other group. When they can’t find homes for these animals, they whack ‘em. I agree with Cooter, Fuck PETA. Morrissey, put the money in the bank, just in case a rainy day comes along.

Morrissey should tour with Roger Waters, Peter Gabriel, Michael Anthony, Don Felder and Chris Cornell. What a show!

Morrisseys lyrics are whack!?
“The streets are crammed with things eager to be held
I know what hands are for and i’d like to help myself
you asked me the time but i sense something more and i would like to give you what i think you’re asking for
you handsome devil,let me get my hands on your mammary glands
let me get your head on the conjugal bed”. One word CLASS

The Smiths won’t get back together. If Morrissey turned down $75 million, he’s never going to agree to reunite.

Sure, it would be fantastic if Morrissey and Marr were on the same stage again; but it’s not in the cards.

Fuck PETA

Even if I would give an arm to see a Smiths reunion, the decision of Morrissey it’s very respectable and wathever the reasons are, it takes a lot of integrity and balls to turn down 75 million dollars. Good for the Moz!!

Morrissey’s solo CDs are superior to most of The Smith’s CD’s. However, the animal loving and vegetarian Morrissey should take the money and tour with The Smiths. He could donate a few million dollars to PETA and other animal protection organizations !!!

Winnie, the 2nd sentence in your 2nd paragraph is a question. Where’s the question mark? This isn’t English class! MORON.

“morriseys lyrics r whack” - I think that comment says it all about that brave ‘Anon’ that wrote that, why didn’t you put your name??? Learn to spell before you type anything ever again you fool.

Let Moz and Marr get on with their lives. They were great then, they are great now. Plus how can you have an official Smiths reunion when only half of the members would be doing it. Glad they turned it down. If you are a fan of the Smiths go and see Morrissey live and maybe he will play a couple…if you are lucky

morriseys lyrics r whack

Good call, Morrissey. They’ve all moved on and the world needs a Smith’s reunion like it needs a Van-Halen reunion (!)

Let The Smiths forever remain fondly in our memories of the 198os. Why spoil a beautiful memory ?

I gotta say how much I respect Morrissey for sticking to his guns and resisting the big payday. How many people in that position would do the same? Not many. While I give kudos to the man, a small part of me hates him for turning it down. I really would like to see a Smiths reunion. One of my favorite bands and I never got a chance to see them live, so it would be nice for it to happen. Maybe one day everyone involved will grow up a little and give it a shot.

Please, Please, Please, Let Me See The Smiths Before I Die

Haha the testicle thing is real funny considering he’s a Vegan….

And so what if he doesn’t want to do this. Its refreshing to see a rock star not sell out to the almighty dollar…

Morrissey once said he’d rather eat his own testicles then reunite with the Smiths.

Did anyone’s mouth drop at the $75 MILLION? I guess in today’s world … to rock stars … it’s pocket change.

Effin’ A….it’s not like it would be any different for Morrisey anyway. He’s already singing pretty much the same songs for his solo shows. What an idiot……

Dear Morrissey,

Not a good idea turning down that money and a chance to tour with your old bandmates. You need to get over past grudges and start jamming again.

Signed,

Roger Waters

WTF

Morrissey rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
