Morrissey

[Amy Lawn]

No matter how many times I watch that clip of Sandie Shaw fronting The Smiths, it's still disturbing.

[Amy Lawn]

Well, we all know it was never getting released in the first place, how often does a book (especially one as high profile as this) supposedly have not a single copy published or even an announcement a few days away from release?

Please excuse John Robb's poor writing here, he's a good journalist really, promise.

I haven't got a tattoo, but if I did get one it'd be a Morrissey tattoo.

I need to see him again as I left his set for Radiohead last time. Worst decision of my life!

I gambled on this, wish I watched while of Morrissey, though some gambles pay off I.e pulp next day major highlight on 2011

Yeah, Pulp were well worth it. Radiohead on the other hand were not.

After watching Marr at Bestival (and Morrissey on his last tour) I have to say I found Marr infinitely more charming and entertaining.

I would pay top dollar for a Smiths reunion

Echoed. That cover of I Fought The Law really got the tent jumping! Morrissey at Glasto' 2011 was miserable, even by his standards.

Thank's for that article,i was stood next to John Robb while watching the Rolling Stones and couldn't remember his name until now.

The way he goes on about heavier music, I reckon he's willutalk's dad.

I encountered a chap in Victoria Station today, stout chap he was, ederly gent I'd say, dressed in a rather sharp tweed suit and a fetching pork pie hat, bearded man he was. He was approaching people in a way that suggests he was going to say "excuse me, good sir, may I trouble you for a moment? I wonder if you would happen to know which platform the 8:45 to Todmorden will depart from?", in fact, he was rather squiffy, very squiffy I should say. The gentleman was approaching these unassuming travellers and proclaiming "The Queen Is Dead!", then, rather sheepishly "... the queen is dead?" in response to their bewildered looks. As I passed him, I dutifully shot him a knowing "Farewell to this land's tuneless marches", which caused him to whirl around and bellow out a lovely verse of "HEMMED IN LIKE A BOAR BETWEEN ARCHES!". My train was due so I left him to it, lovely fella.

I couldn't turn round this year without spying him. I had a quick natter with him during Nick Cave, but by that point I was running on fumes and the Stones singalong the previous night had reduced my usual manly brogue to an amphibian sort of croak so I probably wasn't at my best nick.

For shame!

[russycarps]

For shame!

haha GET HIM!!

[CaledonianGonzo]

For shame!

And then I left Nick Cave early to catch the start of the Smashing Pumpkins!

(Admittedly they were pretty terrible and Cave was pretty damn good, but them's the breaks.)

Shocking behaviour.

Still chuffed with how well I played that one: watched all of Cave from down the front and then somehow got to Pumpkins in time for the best songs, missing all the dull w*nky stuff in the process.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And then Bobby Womack trounced the both of them!

I'd be less blase if I didn't already have Bad Seeds tickets for November.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I meant to watch Bobby Womack - bit annoyed that I didn't bother. Doubt he would have trounced Cave for me though, but few people would.

A couple of years ago in exactly the same spot i stood next to Alan Yentob and as usual didn't remember who he was until i saw him again on TV.

I know it was the last night, and yer pretty buggerd by that point, but it's really shocking behaviour to not at least put an appearance in at Womack's set for a couple of songs. He was excellent at Glastonbury and more-so at Latitude.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I don't know much about him but wanted to educate myself. I'd had about 2 hours sleep on the Saturday though and was hanging by a thread. Also my mates weren't up for it and wanted to spend the last night with them. I repent!

[Zoo Music Girl]

tut tut.

He was great

Pipe down you!

My only mission on the Sunday was to stay upright for Nick Cave. Smashing Pumpkins were an added bonus. Beyond that I made no promises.

I saw Bobby Womack leave the stage if that counts. I know it doesn't.

"I remember my mother complaining about it as she fished it from the laundry basket and smelt it all over. “Have you been gluing model aeroplanes together again, Stephen? All this sticky mess, I'll need two cups of Persil.”"

:lol: that's brilliant! Was trying hide my laughter at work

It too me about 20 minutes to get past "love in a damp ginnel", I nearly fell off my stool, it only got funnier.

[lucyginger]

That's the best thing I've read in ages!! Thanks!

The quiffed one planned this all along, folks
