The Stranger - UP & COMING: 8/22

Morrissey
Thursday, August 22nd 2002, Seattle, Wa. @ The Paramount
Say what you will about the Moz...no, seriously-say what you will. I've heard it all. The unanimous contempt held for Morrissey by his detractors has a way of raining down on us devotees like a heavy cascade of chrysanthemums at a particularly amorous Smiths show. The polarizing effect of Morrissey's apathetic croon and cartoonish persona seems unparalleled in contemporary pop music-and whether critic or enthusiast, it's remarkable just how colatile all emotions seem to remain. God knows, he certainly doesn't make it easy for us. Following 2000's bloated, PVC-clad, "!Oye Esteban!" episode, it seems like the former fervor has quelled slightly for King Brood, but there's no question that this show's gonna sell out. Rumor has it that we fans are in store for new material (finally!), and early dates have heard revivals of classics like "There Is a Light....," so mock me if you will, but I'm gonna be there-Band-Aids placed firmly on nipples.

    Morrissey's voice is far from apathetic! It's the warmest, most loving voice I've ever heard, and ever will hear.

      Someone should put a Band-aid or two over Mr. Pennigton's mouth.

        Morrissey is real (Score:1)
        Cartoonish persona ?What is Mr.Pennington talking about?If you want cartoonish personas from rockstars look up Limp Bizcut or Motley Crue types.You know the kind that brag about gettting drunk all the time and how many porno stars they`ve had those are cartoonish.Morrissey is one of the real ones.Morrissey has written songs like no other.He has expressed his fragility and his strenghts in his songs.He Is a rock star for sure but he doesn`t play the part of one.He doesn`t brag about silly things like those rock stars do.He is also more intelligent than your typical rock star.His music portrays real human emotions things that most of us have felt at one time or another.Morrissey keeps it real.And another thing is voice is not apathetic his voice is warm and so beautiful.
