Smiths Reform In Manchester - Manchester Confidential
Jonathan Smith on the exhibition behind our cheap headline

Excerpt:

Though the posters cut an impressive sight as they circle the bar in chronological order, it was the familiar Smiths’ classics in the background and a surprise guest appearance of Caryn Gough, who played a major part in all the artwork’s design,that gave my visit to the exhibition not only a sense of authenticity, but also an impressive notion of nostalgia to fans.

Steve Lillywhite was the guest on episode 172 of Mohr Stories (July 5 podcast at fakemustache.com, link posted by eddyjedi at atu2.com). He makes many mentions of Morrissey and The Smiths. And picks The Smiths second in his top 5 favorite bands. And says they are way ahead of the likes of The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. Also says one of the highlights of his musical life was putting Johnny Marr and Keith Richards in the same room to jam together. Jay Mohr at one point asks if he thinks Morrissey is gay and he hesitates and says "Morrissey is very shy and was celibate for quite some time but I would say gay".

Morrissey has used £10,000 compensation cash from a cooking show to fund an anti-foie gras campaign.

The former Smiths singer, who is a prominent vegetarian, was paid the money by Channel 4 who had used one of his songs in a Gordon Ramsey show without permission.

He has used it to back a campaign by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) opposing the sale of the luxury food at Fortnum & Mason in central London.

He said: "Ramsay may very well stick his head in his microwave when he hears that the money I received from Channel 4 because one of my songs was used to promote his Christmas show is being donated to Peta to fight foie gras. Foie gras is so cruelly produced that he'd be against it if he had an ethical bone in his...

One day before the first concert of Morrissey South America Tour ´13, we´ve interviewed his opening act, Kristeen Young, about her upcoming album with Dave Grohl, meeting Morrissey and a lot more…

Excerpt:

*How was your first contact with Morrissey music? And your first meeting ?
It was dangerous sex, the meaning of life, and the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had. (same answer for both questions)

*What can you tell about your participation in “That´s How People Grow Up” ? Was this song composed thinking about your voice, or did you choose in a demo which one would you like to put vocals in ?
Morrissey brought me in pretty much after everything had been recorded. I didn’t choose the song. He chose ME for the song. He asked me to sing something...
