From Graham:

At the Big Country convention in Egham, Surrey, England on Saturday 18th September, Big Country front man Stuart Adamson was asked to name artists who he most respected and would like to have worked with. His reply was Leonard Cohen and Morrissey. Stuart said he thought Cohen was a brilliant poet and that Morrissey had written some of the best lyrics he'd ever heard.

Comments / Notes



I love Big Country! That is so cool when a cool band mentions Moz as someone they would like to work with. Does BC ever tour the states?? Maybe they could open up for Moz....IF HE EVER TOURS THE EAST COAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I am sick of hearing tickets are going on sale everywhere but here. Where next China???

Time for intelligent commentary...

Yeah, that's pretty cool that Stuart Adamson admires Morrissey. I was never a "fan" of Big Country. I really only ever liked one song of theirs. But still, it was nice of Adamson to say that. :)

Warren, give it up. I probably shouldn't even waste my time, but I need to say something. Morrissey will tour wherever the hell he pleases. And if he's not gonna be in the east coast of the United States, he's not gonna be there. Too bad for you, I guess. Quit whining. I would absolutely LOVE it if Moz came back to Canada for a few dates, but do you hear me complaining? No. If he doesn't come here, maybe he will another time. He'll never come to my city anyway. I think maybe 15 people might show up. I'm not in a real Moz-friendly city, sadly. (But if there are any other fans out there in this little sh*thole, please show your faces! I wanna meet you!) :) Anyway...Warren, I'll be nice. Keep your hopes up. Maybe he'll play there next year or something. Until then, don't be so bloody self-centred and keep in mind that there are many more countries out there and that the United States Of America is NOT the "centre of the Universe."

Javier...tell us something we don't know. :)

Now was this actually a Big Country convention or just talk at the car wash that the band now works at?

Hmmm, Big Country, such a profound band....with their profound album, "Big Country" and lest we forget, their one-hit wonder song, "Big Country." How original and creative. Is it any remote wonder that the guy was impressed by Morrissey's lyrics?

Oh, and is anyone surprised in the least by Warren's self-confessed adoration of Big Country? Somehow, I think not.

Ouh, I like both, BC and Morrissey/Smiths. Especially live Big Country is great.
