An open letter from a King Creosote fan: Please, Kenny, don't become our Morrissey

King Creosote told us in song that he thought that American hard-right commentators such as Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens as well as local boy and anti-vaxxer Neil Oliver were among his pantheon of “good guys”. Other names mentioned included Right Said Fred, Stephen Morrissey, Eric Clapton and JK Rowling, not necessarily all fellow travellers by any means, but possibly placing Anderson to the right of the majority of his audience at the gig.
