Strange/unexpected Moz references?

- Start date

See how the outside contradicts what's inside?
I had another vivid dream about Morrissey last night. He was younger, Smiths/early solo days, very thin. It was during my grade school days in the dream, but I was older- like high school age. He played a show for us in the auditorium, it was teachers and grade school kids in the audience, but it was only him, karaoke style, no band. He was wearing a hat and he frisbeed it to me in the middle of the first song. I caught it and wore it, though I remember being self conscious while wearing it, "Does it even look good on me?" My silly brain. Anyway, he eventually was done and he hung out with me for the rest of the time. The rest is a bit blurry.. but I remember he kept giving me gifts.
I do remember at one point he hugged me. I felt his sweat and his long, slender frame so clearly against me during the hug. So weird. That was the weirdest part.
A weird dream.
I should really make a "Morrissey dream" thread, eh?
Last night I dreamt...

The sanest days are mad
One of the two times I met Morrissey was before the Placebo show in 2001. I've lost track of their music after the mid-2000s though. Any good?

That's amazing.
Honestly I've only listened up to Meds. I discovered them through that album when it came out, I was pretty young. I love their debut album and Meds the most.
I don't know their new stuff much, I've heard their singles off "Never Let Me Go" though, and I do like them.
I still listen to their old albums often.

I think their first 3 albums are classics... but yeah, I think around Meds I dropped out. They were great live.

Morrissey has never been one to keep quiet. He seemed to know this as far back as 1985, when he and Johnny Marr wrote "Bigmouth Strikes Again." This is the history of that song, the Rolling Stones song that inspired Marr's guitar riff, and the subtle nod to the Ancoats district in Manchester.
Interesting statement by Juan & his band.
Would like a proper translation rather than Google lens.
(It appears to be commentary about the state of the industry, the lack of money making, having to do 'side jobs' and rising costs amongst other things.)

Another dissing of Morrissey without mentioning his name, regarding the Peel Session of the Smiths:
from: https://thenewvinylvillain.com/2024/10/25/keeping-it-peel-for-one-last-time/
"It will be the last time I will commemorate the passing of Peelie with the thing I created all those years ago – #keepingitpeel. A day to remember Peel and to play that artist you discovered when he played their music on his programme...
...Recorded on 18 May 1983 and first broadcast on 1 June 1983. It was so popular it was repeated just three weeks later and then again on 24 August and 29 December. The requests continued to come in, and it was repeated further on 28 May 1984, 27 May 1985 and 3 November 1986.
I had a cassette copy of the session, taped from the first repeat on 21 June 1983. The quality wasn’t great, but that was irrelevant. It was the only way to hear the band’s songs, as all that had been released at this point in time was the debut 7″ single.
The Smiths used to feature on this blog a great deal, but not in recent times. I stopped knowingly listening to the band a long time ago, but there have been occasions when a song has come on when I’ve been somewhere else, and I’ve found myself enjoying it.
I couldn’t deny that I missed them, but I remained determined not to put any records on the turntable, far less on the blog. The thing that has changed my mind?? It’s all down to enjoying the fact the that increasing numbers of people have recognised Johnny Marr as being the true creative genius. The music of The Smiths is very much part of Johnny’s legacy and doesn’t deserve to be ignored.
The decision to go with this particular session was also inspired by some words Webbie wrote in the email which accompanied this guest posting. But I’m keeping that to myself, if you don’t mind."
"...It’s all down to enjoying the fact the that increasing numbers of people have recognised Johnny Marr as being the true creative genius..."
Was/is he the genius people think he is.?
As Gene Simmons said, "... If you go down the street, and with all due respect to Johnny Marr, you go down the street and ask the general person, “Who's Johnny Marr?” they won't know who you're talking about..."
And wasn't the sound of "How Soon is Now", in a great part influenced, by produce John Porter, not solely Johnny's guitar work?
idk...i'm just mumbling here
