Morrissey cancels Jimmy Kimmel appearance, calls 'Duck Dynasty' cast 'animal serial killers'
Fox News ^ | February 27, 2013 | Fox News

Jimmy Kimmel always has the last laugh.

Morrissey learned that lesson on Tuesday night, after the former front man for The Smiths canceled his appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” at the last minute because he learned the cast of “Duck Dynasty” would be guest on the same night.

Never one to back away from controversy, Kimmel addressed the cancellation on his show, thanking the band Churchill filling in for Morrissey on such short notice.

Kimmel read the statement Morrissey issued to explain his refusal to appear on the show.

“[Morrissey] is a vegan and a staunch animal rights activist,” Kimmel explained.

Morrissey stated he could not “morally be on a television program where the cast members of ‘Duck Dynasty’ will also be guests.” He added “as far as my reputation is concerned I can’t take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers.”

Kimmel said Morrissey gave him an ultimatum, saying the comedian had to choose between him and the cast of the A&E show.

“While I respect his stance on this-- I really do— there’s a very good reason why I didn’t dump the “Duck Dynasty” guys for Morrissey,” Kimmel said on the air. “It’s because they have guns, and Morrissey doesn’t.

And the late-night host didn’t stop there.

“He keeps finding new ways to depress us,” he quipped of the musician.

Okay, I think I thought of the term. It wasn’t
*quadrasexual*. It was *quatrasexual*. Comedian Margaret Cho describes herself as a *quatrasexual*. Morrissey may be odd, but I don’t think he’s having relations with dead people. Don’t want to cast asparagus at him. :)

Johnny Marr provided the musical muscle/ platform for the Smiths.

I have to give the Smiths credit for having the best song titles ever. “Shoplifters of the world unite”, “November spawned a monster”, and “Stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before.”

I have never heard of him before reading this. I don’t believe that I missed anything. But,just from the way he is described here, I thought that he was a queer.

Just WTF were the “Smiths?’

Fantastic alternative 80’s band. If you only listened to the radio you never would have heard of them...or of most of the great music in the 80’s for that matter which was never played on radio and the closest mainstream outlet was on 120 Minutes on MTV.

Oh year. Don't forget "Bigmouth Strikes Again", "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" and my personal favorite "Girlfriend in a Coma" :-)

That brings back memories of WOXY which was just beyond reception range where I lived. Once you got it tuned in no one could move (even the person playing with the antenna) or else it would fade out again.
