Morrissey Shocks Letterman And Releases Deluxe Quarry
by Ellen Houlihan | 11.17.2004
Morrissey is not one to be pacified. Throughout his tenure in the music business, Moz has spoken out on subjects ranging from animal rights, homosexuality and America’s stance on the war on terrorism. Last night, in a move similar but far paler in comparison to fellow Irish-blooded performer Sinead O’Connor’s controversial 1992 Saturday Night Live appearance, Morrissey added a new target to his seemingly endless list: the Catholic Church.
In a rare performance on The Late Show with David Letterman, dressed in traditional Catholic priest regalia, consisting of a black suit, white collar and cross necklace, Morrissey and his bandmates, adorned in Jobraith t-shirts, an homage to the troubled 1970’s homosexual wannabe rockstar, introduced the crowd to a live rendition of “First of the Gang to Die” from Morrissey’s most successful album to date You Are the Quarry. Upon completion of the song, Morrissey made the sign of the cross across his body before the cameras cut away from the unusually dressed crooner. Dave graciously, although confusedly, greeted Moz with a “Thanks, Father.”

I'd never even heard of this show before, but I happened to catch literally the last 2 minutes of a recent episode. When the contestant makes his final decision as to whose daughter he wants to date, "First of the Gang to Die" comes on as the lucky young lady emerges from a limo in slow motion. The couple runs along the beach at sunset as the program loops Moz singing "He stole all hearts away."
