[QUOTE="david ingemarsson, post: 1987269129, member: 28195"] I was very happy to be able to see Morrissey in London. I stood by the mixing table, further away from people than in the hospital I work or in the Waitrose where i shop. Extra happy as I had missed out on Paris. As always with Morrissey concerts there was love in the air. Not teenage star projections, not fanatism but this quite simple and pure joy really -relief- that he's still there, still no one but himself and the proof that he still loves us and we him. As stupid as it may sound it's about a rather deep rooted friendship and one that goes both ways. And Morrissey starting off his concert with singing, all on his own, that this is the end of the world before sneezing loudly and then letting his band embark on a hard and merciless "London" was... Perfect. 'Cause it was just so Moz. And that's why we love him. Selling out is not about selling your tune to John Lewis, it's about selling out yourself. And[I] that[/I] Moz will never do, it seems very unlikely anyway. And all these covers... Well, they don't really feel like just a cover. Just like the clips in the pre-show film feel highly relevant and of crucial importance (I got rather moved by the tribute to Lou Reed for one and it felt great to have Bowie there now) the covers are diamonds from the music history that Moz tells us is more important than Labour and Tories and... And he makes them his in a passionate love making music-carpentry. Morrissey was awkward, honest, strong but also vulnerable and, oh so manly. just like he was last time. And how he hopefully will return again. Love you Moz. [/QUOTE]
