Morrissey rumored to play Hollywood Bowl (June 2), UK, Japan, other US
posted by davidt on Wednesday March 27 2002, @09:00AM

Chris at Ambitious Outsiders spoke to Boz Boorer after the recent show in Los Angeles - an excerpt from the review/Q&A:
...
After the show Boz came outside and signed a few autographs and took some more pictures with fans. After waiting patiently waiting for him to be alone, I asked him if I could ask him some questions. I introduced myself and he took me and some of my buds backstage answering all our questions.

  • Touring situation / April thing?
    He replied: April was too soon, he would have liked April to tour though.

  • Any places in mind?
    He replied: Yes many, some are US, U.K., Japan, and some others as well.

  • Any venues that you know about?
    He replied: Oh yes, June 2nd, Hollywood Bowl! Which would be some sort of latino festival.
    I told him if I could quote him on that many times, and told him if he was playing with me, he said its true. The date is set just not confirmed yet he also said.

          Please not the Hollywood Bowl......After great shows over the past few years at smaller venues, like The Paladium, UCI, Universal Amp., etc., now they would wanna play a gigantic venue like The Hollywood Bowl again? Hey that was cool for him to play in 92', but please play somewhere smaller this time. I went to see Radiohead there last year and it just reconfirmed how much I don't like seeing bands there cause it is just too big. If they do play there, I'm just gonna have to go see them in the smaller cities. Anyone else think that he should play smaller venues. If he is really considering The Hollywood Bowl again, that must mean he is coming out w/ the album soon. At least that is what I think.

              Sorry I wouldn't fit in at a Latino Festival, because I am a white Morrissey fan (yes there are still some of us in Sothern California). I have nothing against his latino fans but it is bad enough having to go to the regular Morrissey concerts and receiving nasty looks from some of the latino fans. Plus I am not a fan of latino music, or the Hollywood Bowl. I saw Moz play there in '92 for the Your Arsenal tour and I am sure he won't put on a better show than he did then. I agree with the above comments about the Hollywood Bowl, it is more impersonal than the other big venues around. Also they have noise regulations there and the sound is never very loud. I hope he plays somewhere else except for the Palladium. I hated the palladium! The Greek Theatre would be nice as long as assholes don't ruin the end of the show this time around.

                I'm also a white Morrissey fan, and I would love to see Morrissey play with Latin bands. Groups like Manu Chau and Pescado Rabioso are tenfolds more interesting, and just better, than the usual garbage that follows Morrissey around on tour (the Promise Ring having been the worst so far). I've been to Morrissey shows with loads of Latino fans, and after several years of concerts, I find that the worst looks are from snobbish, trendy American indie rockers who got into Morrissey because they think it makes them hip or clever.

                Unless it was a festival with many different types of bands such as coachella. I have nothing against his Latino fans but going to see Morrissey at a Latino festival would be like seeing Petshop boys at Ozzfest OR even worse Richard Ashcroft at A Hiphop fest or something. I would just feel totally unfomfortable not being a fan of latino music and it just seems strange to have Morrissey playing there even if he DOES have alot of latino fans.

                If it were like the festival moby put on where different types of music /genres mixed then i would definately attend. Otherwise I'll wait til he plays his own show/s and it's more intimate.

Don't ever compared latin music to hip hop because if morrissey plays with latin bands it will be with bands of same rock caliber. Also to those dumb latinos who think a latino festival will have Vicente pack ur bags. If Morrissey decides to play with latin bands it should defenetly be with bands such as jumbo, viva malpache, atercipelados, manu chau etc.

It is absurd! If MOrrissey does tour, 'where ever' and 'when ever', then so be it, it shall be a hell of a time. Go or don't go, you're not hurting anyone but yourself. One more thing, leave Chris and those who contribute to his site, alone! He does a wonderful job with his "dedication to Morrissey" based web site. There should be no comparison about which site is better. They both carry their own individual purpose.... Although Chris may report news from time to time, his site surrounds the music itself, etc. etc. Both, are really pleasant beings, if you take the time and have the opportunity to actually converse with them.

                                  David is directly responsible for the truly depressing days this site is going through. Here's why:

                                        -As far as I know, David never had the courage to come out and publicly defend Chris from all the vicious, xenophobic, homophobic, racist attacks; as a fellow webmaster, David should have offered Chris advice and constructive criticism, but also give him a hand and protect him from uncalled-for slurs; I'm all for freedom of speech, but people who silence about horrible things happening in their own website may come off as cowardly to say the least;
                                        -David's moderators are not doing a good job; just check the first reply to the "Moz, the National Front etc" message; it says mexicans have no character, class etc and didn't even get flamebait status; moderators are not supposed to be PR agents for the webmaster, but to ensure that creativity and depth are rewarded while aggression and dumbness go beneath the threshold;

                                        - David is almost as lazy and unresponsive as Moz these days; I remebember happier times when David would post things like "please buy Maladjusted as soon as it's released, the first week is very important for the overall sales etc etc"; now David acts as if he doesn't care anymore. The honest truth is that Ambitious-Outsiders is currently not very well designed or written, but it's full of enthusiasm and love for life and Morrissey, whereas here we get nonstop jaded, bitter rants from people who probably have no life and who need to see a shrink instead of attacking younger fans who are doing better than they ever did. Yes, there are news in here and so on, but they're no longer scoops, and the site seems to have lost its individual voice.

                                  To be brief, racism is running rampant in here, and David Tseng's silence makes me wonder if he condones or endorses racial/sexual prejudices; I also think he reacted in a defensive, almost resentful way to the arrival of Ambitious-Outsiders.
                                  Whether he wants it or not, Tseng has a major role in Mozville; he's bright, he has the right contacts and he built a deservedly great reputation. However, if David Tseng insists on being noncommittal and aloof, Morrissey-solo is over and we all lose, including David, Chris and Steven Patrick Morrissey.

                                    and you know something, you forget David is not paid to do this. Think of your own life and had you decided to run a website. How much time would you personally want to give of yourself? Would you like to have friends? Would you like to go on dates? would you like to go back to school and get a degree? and how few hours do you have to achieve that while working full time? what life plans do you personally have for yourself and imagine taking those precious hours away just so you can hunt and pick through every post ever written looking for stupid racist comments. trying to figure out exactly who is giving you credible news to report and who is pulling a hoax.

                                    for those who don't work 40 hour weeks, they don't really understand the precious few hours that you have between when you get home and when you go to bed. give him credit, and quit taking this thing so damn seriously.

                                    and when you reference maladjusted, you definitely harken back to a different time. tell me, exactly what is going on right now to bring forth a call to action? "a tour!" you say. ok, so, how do we go about it? we can't buy a ticket. none are on sale. matter of fact, when do they go on sale? there has been no official announcement, and the few words that do come from the people who should know have been very misleading. no tour in april and apparently no latino music fest on june 2nd. it doesn't inspire confidence when nobody seems to know and nobody seems to feel bothered to release the official announcement.
                                    who do we contact to show our interest and to clarify what's going on? there are no label or business contacts. just some random friends who answer questions if they feel like it, and certainly only a couple of people have ways of contacting them. the only thing we know of for certain is that he's looking for a drummer.

                                    and so, if you were operating a website, what would you do? the thing is, you don't run a website, and i'll bet you haven't posted once a "morrissey is going on tour, so everyone buy a ticket and show the record companies he has a strong fanbase!" message as of recent, have you?

David T spends 20 hours PLUS every week to maintain this wonderful website (remember, he has to write a new HTML code every time! As a follow computer programmer who had some experience with HTML & Java, I could only imagine the sheer volume of work ). He does not have an additional 40 hours at week to weed out people responding to their own posts.

                                        Carlos, start your own Smiths website, if you are dissatisfied! Make it a decent one at least, maintain it for 5 years, then you would earn a privilege to critisize David T for some VERY MINOR things and omissions. I know I don't have this privilege! BTW of course, I'm 100% against racism, being non-Anglo-Saxon myself. (And, FYI, racism could be not only white, but other colors as well...) But agree with me, David is unable to go after every cyberspace moron, he is only human, he has to work full time too... The huge majority of people here are decent human beings, racists here are black sheeps and a small minority.

                                        Dear Anonymous, I pity you, you are at the wrong country. You ought to go to Northern Korea or Fidel Castro's Cuba, maybe to Saddam's Iraq, where censorship is everywhere from book publishing to nursery rhymes and only one "officially sanctioned" way of thinking is permitted. All dissidents are either beaten unconscious at local police stations or thrown in jails. OK, let's imagine that David Tseng would erase all "offensive" postings. The question is where is the borderline between offensiveness and constructive criticism. The website would suddenly become boring and people would move out. I appreciate David Tseng practicing Democracy here. If webmaster would ban any harsh criticism and/or rudeness, he would throw baby with the water... Not everybody has fine English skills and sophistication at their postings, some people are just in their teens and tend to be too extreme. Some people have their problems and their postings reflect those private demons inside them. Some people irrationally dislike certain Moz song or album. Some people are prejudiced like Kill Uncle Fan, some people are just annoying.. like myself, Fox. :-) :-) :-) But Democracy ought to be egalitarian, not for the Patricians only! Downside is, there always be highly erudite, but unpleasant people like Lazy Sunbather who would say something obviously unfair and snobbish, and, at the opposite extreme, there always would be 2 or 3 simpletons with vocabulary of "fuckhead", "will beat you up" and "shit" and about dozen other adjectives to cement abovementioned words. But, on the good side, there always be people like Suzanne and many many others who would provide us with loving and constructive criticism of Moz and many other things... And of course, Suzanne is right, David Tseng does all this voluntary, for free, at his free time. The website runs smoothly and people are given the choice of Democracy by David, which is commendable. BTW, I like Chris's enthusiasm and I think Chris deserves praise too for his efforts. However, mozsolo website is still the center of the gravity at Mozkingdom. And yes, I prefer Mozsolo to AmbOut. When reading AmbOut, you feel like you are a follower in your teens. David site attracts more independent thinkers. Chris website is lovingly made (his mp3 collection is a good thing, let's give Chris his due!). But Chris and Andrea are totally uncritical, while at Mozsolo people are encouraged to think, argue, exchange ideas. One could argue, that Mozsolo has its share of nastiness, but, hey, I'm sure the level of crime in such homogeneous, one-nation, strictly enforced, cowed and scared societies as Japan is much lower then in the USA, yet people all over the world, be they Cubans, French, Peruvians or Russians, want to emigrate to the rich, heterogenous, chaotic free-wheeling America, not to the cowed conformism of Japan. I don't want to question Chris enthusiasm for Moz. Both sites are doing good deeds by spreading the word of Smiths and Moz, but, hey, MOZSOLO IS MUCH MORE FUN THEN AMB-OUT. My case is stated.

                                                    A few years ago a Moz fan could count on Morrissey-Solo for breaking news about what Morrissey was planning to do. Now that link has been severed (by Morrissey, I suppose)and Morrissey-solo has to get news from Ambitious Outsiders.
                                                    Go figure!
                                                    Has DavidT's reluctance to keep a firm hand on the horrible posts and hurtful comments about Morrissey caused Moz to cut the ties? If so, I don't blame him.

                                                      I sure am tired of all these anonymous little Ambitious Outsiders freaks. My God they are only web sites. Get a life. Obviously you like Morrissey-solo more anyway since you spend all of your time over here being an asshole. Just because David T. doesn't reduce himself to stalking Morrissey or his band mates for information doesn't mean that his web site sucks now. It just shows how pathetically desperate Ambitious Outsiders is in trying to out-do this web site because they know Morrissey-solo is a much better place.

                                                      It is ridiculous to compare Ambitious Outsiders to Morrissey-solo. The two sites couldn't be more different. Moz-solo is a community of people that contribute nearly all of the content to the site. Ambitious Outsiders, on the other hand, is a fan site, where the vast majority of the content comes from Chris. Sure, Chris has gone out and generated most of the interesting news items as of late (using tactics that some find questionable.) In the long run, a fan run site cannot generate the interest that Morrissey-solo can.

                                                      It's easy to say "Ambitious Outsiders has been better at news than Moz-solo recently." That is because there there is very little real Morrissey news. Even all of this talk of touring is nothing more than a few rumors. If/When a tour starts, and there is lots of news, there will be no way that Chris will be able to match the content of this page. If something happens in Boston, how on Earth will Chris know about it, unless someone tells him?

                                                      Does anyone else remember Morrisseytour.com? They had some friends contributing to the site, and they went to every show on the last tour. Even then, the content and coverage was better on Morrissey-solo... not that there is anything wrong with that. Morrisseytour.com and Ambitious Outsiders are both good sites, but they aren't Morrissey-solo, and they won't become what Morrissey-solo is anytime soon.

                                                      Even the "Anonymous" people that post their love for Ambitious Outsiders are doing it here. What does that tell you?

                                                          I really think it's great you post your comments under anonymous. That's so true Ambitious-outsiders, have broken the news.

                                                          You have to realize how this tour news started by stalking the man's house and intruding on the man's life.

                                                          Do you ever think that David T. chooses not to invade Morrissey's privacy and has respect for Morrissey not to hound him or bother him with questions.

                                                          Honestly I believe anyone could have gotten that story , I could have if I stalked his place and invaded his privacy at his home, and could have asked the same questions.
