"But it didn't take them very long to realise that I'm not."Morrissey said the incident was proof that American and British societies were not as free as we believe."I don't belong to any political groups, I don't really say anything unless I'm asked directly and I don't even demonstrate in public," he said."I always assume that so-called authoritarian figures just assume that pop/rock music is slightly insane and an untouchable platform for the working classes to stand up and say something noticeable."My view is that neither England or America are democratic societies. You can't really speak your mind and if you do you're investigated." o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
