A date in Porto Alegre - Brazil has been added. Morrissey is going to play at "Opinião" on March 31.

Tickets should go on sale Monday.

The rumor about Montevideo was true, but the show will not happen definitely...

But, one more Santiago date (03/27) is becoming a strong possibility...

Morrissey's manias

As his producers say, Morrissey will stay just 4 days in Chile, and in this time it will be possible just to see his nose. He won't give press conferences or interviews. He won't meet with local musicians, as it was rumored. "This is part of Morrissey's mystery, don't you think?" they apologize.

I came across in interesting mention in a weekly Mexican magazine called "TV NOTAS" (March 24, 2000). The article (scan), obviously written by a fan, gives some info on the March 25 show, and possible T.V show tapings.

Loose Translation

Morrissey is a fair-skinned Englishmen. Not as young, already showing gray hairs, making him more handsome. He was the lead singer of The Smiths, whom where the sensation in Europe about 20 years ago, but he departed in order to become a soloist and became one of the most problematic figures of rock; giving new styles and sensibility to Pop expression. He is very charming, teases the public, and tells jokes in his concerts. He will perform in the National Auditorium on March 25, and will record two or three T.V. programs – depending on the $$$ - at the end of the week. To the ladies of Monterrey and Guadalajara be advised that he will give concerts on one day only.

PETA Sponsors Smiths Tribute

People For the Ethical Treatmen of Animals are apparently giving long-overdue props to the man who declared eating meat an act of murder back when Chrissie Hynde was still rocking the red, leather motorcycle jackets. The animal rights group will sponsor New York City's first-ever tribute to Morrissey and the Smiths this month (March 24 at legendary downtown nightclub Don Hills). According to a post from our friends in The Salford Lads (the city's best... and...er... only Smiths tribute band), the event will feature Smiths ephemera giveaways, a Morrissey look-a-like contest, DJs spinning all things Mozzer all night long (please don't hang them), and, of course, two sets by the Lads. Go to www.thesalfordlads.com for further info. Morrissey (the real one), possibly the world's biggest unsigned act, kicks off his first ever tour of Mexico and South America on March 24.
