    Really does sum up a lot of what I have been thinking about Morrissey's "comeback".

    Especially the fact that he really seems to be dealing with the ageing process in a much more real and interesting way than any of his contemporaries.

  • indeed (Score:2, Insightful)

    The reviewer hit it right on the head- Morrissey is aging more gracefully than anyone had a right to expect. Other musicians could learn a thing or two from him about how to go about being in your mid to late 40's and not looking like a fool.

  • and the reviews are of a high quality of writing.

    although, i don't recall people being actually "ejected" from radio city. one guy just in front of me ran onstage and made it right back to his seat.

  • Very nice and well put altogether. It's nice to see some genuine appreciation for! Rather sad, though, that such a positive bit of press apparently merits no comment, while the negative review draws them in hordes...

    Ah, well, I suppose I can't disparage people for wanting to defend our man.

  • Is it true that the cd is made up of performances from all over the country? If so, I would very much like to know how it breaks down. Any ides?

  • I got the CD on Friday through Amazon and I have to say it's an amazing album. It's better than You Are The Quarry by a mile and pisses all over Beethoven Was Deaf. I'm really surprised as I only really bought the damn thing out of loyalty having been a long-term fan. Wicked. Thank you, Moz!

    PS It was all taken from one show, but Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me was possibly edited to fit the whole show onto one CD.

  • Typical sentimentality from Mr Idov. Russian, right? I'm not surprised.
    Ever heard of Pétain? He was pretty fatherly too! And North Korean leaders: fairly bemused and benevolent, wouldn't you say?

    I really think you should stop fantasizing on old guys, Michael.

    "Flirty in a who's-yer-daddy way"? Who? John Paul ? Well, it was his job, wasn't it?

  • I was thinking about the demise of David Bowie just the other day and how he has done things exactly the wrong way for many months.
