Tori Amos had some strong words about Morrissey last night at her Manchester show. On this tour she's been doing a pair of covers each night, requested by fans on her website. Usually they have a local theme, so many people had evidently requested a Moz song for Manchester.
She said she would play a song by a local act, but that it wasn't Morrissey, which elicited some sighs from the audience. She said she had good reason not to, but didn't want to be drawn into it. One fan asked her why she didn't like him so eventually she told us: she'd bumped into him once at a TV or radio show or something, and greeted him with "Hey man, great songs!", to which Moz apparently responded with "Like you would know?"
Needless to say he's not on her Christmas card list - a pity, as they're both great. She did mention that she'd loved the Smiths songs in their day though. She then went on to do a blinding version of 'Don't Look Back in Anger' by Oasis, which more than won over the crowd.
