Moz review (by Niall O'Keeffe) at the bottom of this article. Not hugely complimentary!

V Festival (Pt II) - Hylands Park, Chelmsford - Yahoo! Music UK

Excerpt:

The festival concludes with the spectacle of a middle-aged man claiming to be ugly and unloved before a sea of adoring worshippers. What's striking about Morrissey these days is his sheer gracelessness: tonight he sees fit to 'rebelliously' berate Virgin Radio for not playing his boring new single, even asking us to text a number projected on the big screen.

Later, he gets his shirt off and plays "How Soon Is Now", driving the punters wild. But there's no escaping the conclusion that Morrissey has become very unpleasant and trades on reputation. As a headliner for the V Festival, he's perfect.

Handsome Devil Press creative director, Jason O'Malley, is a devoted Morrissey fan. Once a year he designates a single greeting card out of the collection to be a tribute to our idol. This design for 2006 finds our charming man riding his Vespa down a Roman street. Check out the Italian flag and New York Dolls stickers on the back bumper.

As you can imagine, Jason has already worn out his copy of Ringleader of the Tormentors down to the nub and was naturally inspired to illustrate a Roman flavored tribute to his idol. Here a Moz-esque fellow speeds down a typical Roman thoroughfare on his Vespa. (Check out that New York Dolls sticker on the back.) Ciao!
