      Yeah, exactly. Those who say "it's mopey and just sad, i don't get it" completely missed the brilliance of The Smiths/Morrissey. I've never laughed harder at lyrics more than I have at Morrissey's ("the pain was enough to make a shy bald Buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder", "your BF he went down on one knee, or could it be he's only got one knee", the entire Vicar in a Tutu song, even song titles "mute witness" 😂😂😂

      Your comments rings true to me (even though I know very well who Jon Hamm is) because I'm just like him. I'm aware of random stuff and I don't even know where I got the info, it's like being a sponge. Being curious about different things and simply aware by default seems to be why this happens. He may be trolling but I can see how he may be actually honest when he says he is just aware of it even thought not a fan.

      Agreed, Sofia, but I think trolling would be too strong a word. Hamm could be showing his sponginess or Hamm (or both of them) could be affecting the situation of his Smiths non-allegiance for laughs. Just clowning about, really.
      Musicians are spongy about music across all genres and performers. They often know stuff about music they don't like or are indifferent too. Maybe Hamm was a frustrated musician before he became an actor. He definitely has Moz/The Smiths character off pat; misery in a major key.
      Anyway, Hamm seems like a nice chap. I might check out his films.

    • @mck7646
      @mck7646 Před 6 lety +1

      Anonymous DueToFascists Not liking a band doesn't automatically mean someone is an idiot. Saying they suck is a bit harsh, but not everyone connects with The Smiths. They're not as iconic as their fans make them out to be either. I hadn't even heard of them until I was well into high school. I had heard of bands like The Cure and Joy Division long before I heard of The Smiths. They're good, but I don't see them as that amazing, to each his own.

    • @thunderpooch

    It can be perceived as being cool and collected to casually lie about passionate knowledge you know about someone or something; something you do have some passion for; to make light of it to not sound obsessed or fixated. He doesn't want to be quizzed about Morrissey trivia after saying something pedantic like "I'm a big fan", so he's doing this thinly veiled ruse instead to stay modest.

    He never said he didn't listen to the smiths, he said he was introduced to it late in life and that when he listen to it, he never fell in love for it...But it sure seams like he listen to it and "studied it". There are plenty of bands that I I know a lot about (maybe it's collateral acquired knowledge, say... because so many friends (or a lover) were into it...Maybe it's a generational thing, that made him know about it (he seams to have an amazing memory/learning skills) but still, he can't say he loves their sound... Anyhow, it's not my case in regards to the smiths, I love the smiths...

      stupid comment. people can be lonely or feel despair about our society and its traps no matter what the externals say to the world. i related to it so much. attractiveness is really irrelevant. any sensitive, intelligent person will likely notice truths in these songs. he is really singing about the brokenness of society. even if you don't "stand on your own," you still might go home cry and want to die...

    I am from St. Louis and I don't care much for the Smiths or Morrissey either, but could still name several popular songs from each. You don't have to love a group to remember their music, song titles, or origins. When the shit is being played all around you growing up or seeing their album covers and t-shirts all the time, it is pretty easy to remember and St. Louis is a very musically diverse town which appreciates all kinds of music from blues to jazz to brit pop to hard core... I mean it isn't that strange that Hamm knows this shit.
