Morrissey supports Gaga’s meat dress
June 23rd, 2011 - 2:57 am ICT by IANSLondon, June 23 (IANS) Vegetarian singer Morrissey has backed Lagy Gaga’s 2010 MTV Video Music awards meat dress stunt, insisting it is fine to wear animal flesh as a “social and political statement”.
“The meat dress was first done by artist Linder Sterling in 1982, and she did it as a protest at men seeing female flesh as meat. I don’t know whether that came across with Lady Gaga,” express.co.uk quoted Morrissey as saying.
“I think people didn’t question it too deeply - they simply saw it as ‘today’s loony idea’. But I like to assume that Gaga had the same notion. If it’s a social and political statement, it’s acceptable. If it isn’t, I don’t really see the point,” he added.
The dress was recently donated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio where it will be displayed for fans.
