I love the music of The Smiths, so will Johnny Marr 'forbid' me from saying so, as well?

I read on Google News  that
'Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has told Prime Minister David Cameron to "stop saying" he is a fan of the band.

Cameron has spoken several times of his love of the Mancunian indie rockers and picked their track, This Charming Man, when he appeared on Desert Island Discs.

Marr, whose jangly guitar style was central to the band's distinctive sound, tweeted: "David Cameron, stop saying that you like The Smiths, no you don't. I forbid you to like it."'
Somehow I don't think Johnny Marr has got a handle of free speech or how music fandom works.

As I have said before Why do the left have the best music?
