The Morrissey revival continues! - NME.com

MORRISSEY’s revival continues with his successful tour of the US and Japan, celebrity fans and rumours of a new record deal.

Paul Rhodes (the Slider) also mentions a similar or the same article appearing in the print edition:

In this week's NME (W/E 07/09/02) there is an article claiming that Morrissey may re-sign to Rough Trade. Geoff Travis who runs Rough Trade and first signed The Smiths in the 80s told NME: "Yes, I have seen Morrissey. I bumped into him in a foreign place and renewed our acquaintance, shall we say. Has he mellowed? I would have thought so - time has that effect on most people." Asked whether he would get Morrissey's signature, Travis said: "There's no resolution just yet." Travis also said about Morrissey's comeback: "Pop music is a richer place for him."

The article also goes on to say that: "Morrissey has also found fans among a new crop of bands. The Vines Patrick Matthews was seen wandering around backstage at Reading festival wearing a Morrissey t-shirt." He told NME: "The wheel has definitely turned - and you guys made The Smiths number one in your poll." The Libertines are also fans and they tried to meet Morrissey in Japan. Singer Peter Doherty told NME before he headed to Japan: "I'm definitely going to try and meet him. I've heard he's a fan of ours. He's playing the Albert Hall so I might have a little word with him and see if he can get me in."

There is also a free gig guide supplement with the paper naming Morrissey gig of the month.

Review and Photos from Monday's concert.

Morrissey rocks at Downtown club
By Michael D. Hernandez
El Paso Times

Excerpt:

This charming man crooned and El Pasoans swooned as Morrissey mania struck like a heat wave during Monday's sold-out concert at Club Vallare.

  "This must be the smallest place in El Paso," he told the rabid audience between jangly powerhouse anthems "Hairdresser on Fire" and "Suedehead." "I hope nobody faints because this is a really cheap show and we can't afford any medics."

Came across this review of the Seattle show at PopMatters. While it isn't 100% positive, how can you complain when the writer says "Morrissey is as close to God as we mere mortals on earth could hope for"?
