‘The musty whiff of a yard sale’: why is Morrissey attempting to sell his share of the Smiths’ catalogue?

Boo hoo! Got a MAGA hat on? Off you fuck! I see the woman gave an interview saying her companion, also in a MAGA hat, was black. Let's talk to him and see what he has to say. If you support Trump you should be publicly shamed and blacklisted. Welcome to America.
