There are some songs that I don't think can be covered better than the original. This is one. If you find any good covers of this song, please put it in the comments.

I hate to bring this news, but I cannot withhold information in good conscious:

This has robbed my positive relation towards the music completely.

For anyone who wants a bit more condensed version, you can read his Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrissey#Race_and_support_for_Anne_Marie_Waters

The funniest thing to come from Morrissey acting like an utter bellend was when The Simpsons did a parody of Morrissey and he got very upset: https://www.morrisseycentral.com/messagesfrommorrissey/hello-hell

I have a nostalgic connection to the Love Split Love cover which was used as the theme to Charmed. Richard Butler from The Psychedelic Furs sings in it.

Musically they are very similar but I prefer this one because it doesn't have Morrissey on it and Morrissey is a racist asshole

I've heard this version before. And sadly, I'm aware that Morrissey is an asshole now. I still like The Smiths, but he's a good example of why you never want to know your idols.
