A week later he said that Capitol was promoting “Sam Smith’s ‘satanism'” but not his album.Morrissey’s latest post about Capitol ended with a video of someone flying a plane over the Capitol offices with a message trailing behind it: “Release Mozi’s ‘Bonfire Of Teenagers!'”@officialmoz How do you get someone’s attention? You fly a plane over their building! @capitolrecords please release Moz’s “Bonfire of Teenagers”!
