PETA2 exclusive Morrissey interview, by Dan Mathews

Veggie icon Morrissey, who burst onto the scene in the '80s with The Smiths and released a string of solo albums in the '90s, is back on the road this fall with sold-out concerts in the U.S., Australia, France, and his native England. The reclusive singer, whose "Meat Is Murder" album has inspired legions of listeners to stop eating animals, was playing in El Paso the same day that PETA launched its latest "Go Veg" billboard campaign.

Morrissey hooked up with PETA's Dan Mathews to take a snapshot of the ad and reflect on his feelings about animal rights.

The billboard image is used for a sticker which first appeared in the tour merchandise for the Anaheim show, I believe.

This review is really new: I translated it from Dutch (I hope my English is good enough). It's a really great review from HUMO - Belgium's biggest, most respected weekly magazine. This magazine almost never covers concerts, but - to my shock - they found Morrissey's London shows of great importance. A must-read! The journalist re-hashes some of the old clichés, but he seems genuinly touched by the performance. And I found it impossible to read the last few lines without smiling. Another one catches the Moz-bug! :)

When listening to 'Jan' last night, after she played 'Tomorrow' she said that the Moz session has already been recorded! Can't remember her exact words but she said something like we're all in for a bit of a treat! It's on next Wednesday evening /Thursday morning. (exact time - link)

She was discussing the new songs the other day and claimed that 'Mexico' was the best received which I don't think tallies with the poll we had here. Hmm, perhaps she's heard a different version of 'Mexico' that she will soon share with us all!

"TWENTY YEARS WITH THE SMITHS: A CELEBRATION WITH SWEET AND TENDER HOOLIGANS"

"On Friday, October 4, 1982, the "most influential band of the last fifty years" gave their first live performance at the Ritz nightclub in Manchester. Please join Sweet and Tender Hooligans this coming Friday, October 4, 2002, as they celebrate the twentieth anniversary of this landmark in pop music.

The band will perform the same set that the Smiths performed that night, followed by a complete set focusing on the Smiths' early years.

This event will be filmed for an upcoming documentary on Morrissey and the Smiths being produced for the Independent Film Channel.

Free admission to James Maker, Jim Rome, and the first person who can definitively confirm whether or not the Smiths performed the Cookies' "I Want A Boy For My Birthday" on that fateful night.
