This is amazing. Rick Astley has taken it on himself to start covering The Smiths songs because Morrissey is such an unholy piece of shit, and not only is it not bad it's good and also wholesome.

This is great because Morrissey let a lot of people down. And Rick Astley, well, he would never . . .

@MichaelTBacon yes, but does he remove his shirt? ;-)
Show threadPatrick GeorgiJun 29, 2023
@MichaelTBacon Except that Morrissey has writing credits to many The Smiths songs, so no matter who sings it, he gets his share.

"Oh my god I love that Rick Astley said fuck it I'm Morrissey now. Assumed the role like a new pope."

Great idea, but Morrissey may still get the residuals from any performance of a song he wrote, if he hasn't relinquished the rights.
