Are you serious? NO way should he stop playing Smiths songs! No way. It's the only chance we have to recapture some Smiths magic - plenty of us were either too young, or not around to hear it the first time around! I'm SO thankful that there is still an opportunity to hear him sing them.
I do...
You poor thing - if that happened to me I would be equally as upset.
But I have NO DOUBT you will get a chance to see Morrissey live again.
100 % certain! You're in Europe - he is bound to tour again within the next year or two.
:)
Me! I'm not going! I'm far, faaaar away in Australia. Morrissey obviously has a very strong aversion to Australia, but there are rumours he will return..during the next blue moon.:( Worst thing about Australia is that were so damn far from everywhere else (New Zealand doesn't count ;) )
To answer your initial question: Yes, Pink Floyd and The Smiths are polar opposites.
I like Pink Floyd, adore the Smiths.
Worm, if you feel Pink Floyd are only capable of 'shallow concept' rock you need to sit down and listen - really listen - to The Wall. One of the most beautiful...
Does anybody have the lyrics to Sandie Shaw's song 'Take Him'?
Can't seem to get them online - dying to read them after taking a look at that link that Kewpie posted!
Thanks for the link, kewpie! Fascinating!
Don't know what it is, but, Sandie Shaw really irks me when reading those extracts. Does anybody else think she was in love with him or Morrissey with her?
I wonder what happened for their frienship to end?? I'm intrigued..!
Thanks so much for taking the time to to watch the doco and tell us what was said :) That's very kind.
I suspected as much - that he could relate to Arthur's working class life and his desire to escape it, I was just interested to hear what he had said specifically - so, cheers for that, Dougal! :)
Hmm..that linke wasn't very revealing but interesting, nonetheless. I'm curious as to what went wrong!
Thanks for your post Duchess :) I'm vague myself today. Blahh.
Uh, I have watched it and read it. I was just interested in other's thoughts.
I'll check out the 'original sources of morrissey's lyrics" link - cheers.
Hmm..your link didn't take me to anything relating to Vicar In a Tutu.
??
Thanks for your reply, though, I can't say I see any of Vicar in a Tutu in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. I can see how Morrissey would enjoy Arthur's rebellion & distate for work. I can also understand that he...
Does anybody have any information on how this film influenced Morrissey? Are there any direct references in his songs? Does anybody have any quotes relating to it's influence or any of their own theories?
Cheers! :)
God, there are too many, aren't there?
"oh mother I can feel the soil falling over my head" is exquisite - one of his saddest.
I also love the brilliance of "the pain was enough to make a shy, bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder."
Genius!:D
