1. He endorses cannibalism. Well, sort of. At the 2009 Coachella music festival, Morrissey, after catching a whiff of BBQ, proclaimed, "I can smell burning flesh...and I hope to god it's human." So basically, in Morrissey Logic, it'd be better if some poor kid was roasting to death in the audience than for there to be a few hamburgers broiling in the vendor's section. That certainly seems reasonable, yeah? I'd be inclined to give Moz a pass if I thought it was just shock-value speak, but it wasn't. In a sweeping gesture of stupidity, Morrissey showed his true colors once more in 2011 when speaking about the Norway Terrorist Massacre (77 people were killed), declaring, "That is nothing compared to what happens at McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Shit everyday."

2. He hates Sir Paul McCartney How can anyone hate the happy-go-lucky, pop-melody genius Sir Paul McCartney? The guy's as disarming and pleasant as icons come. Hell, It's almost like hating a teddy bear, or a greatly admired musical superstar. Whatever. In fact, you'd think Morrissey would be the last person to lay into McCartney given that the former Beatle is one of the most ardent supporters of PETA's cause. But, not so. In 2013, Morrissey publicly criticized McCartney for not denouncing his knighthood on the grounds that refusal to do so represented an endorsement of the Queen's habit for wearing furs. Just to clarify: given that the Queen of England owns certain animal-derived family heirlooms, Moz thinks McCartney is morally inferior for not returning his nation's highest honor. Let that sink in.

3. He wants to scrub the 'black' out of pop music In an interview Morrissey once stated, "Reggae...is to me the most racist music in the entire world. It's an absolute total glorification of black supremacy." He went on, "Ultimately, I don't have very cast iron opinions on black music other than black modern music which I detest. I detest Stevie Wonder. I think Diana Ross is awful... I think they're all vile in the extreme. In essence this music doesn't say anything." The interviewer responded, "You seem to be saying that you believe that there is some sort of black pop conspiracy being organized to keep white indie groups down." What was Morrissey's response? "Yes, I really do."
