Tori Amos had some strong words about Morrissey last night at her Manchester show. On this tour she's been doing a pair of covers each night, requested by fans on her website. Usually they have a local theme, so many people had evidently requested a Moz song for Manchester.
She said she would play a song by a local act, but that it wasn't Morrissey, which elicited some sighs from the audience. She said she had good reason not to, but didn't want to be drawn into it. One fan asked her why she didn't like him so eventually she told us: she'd bumped into him once at a TV or radio show or something, and greeted him with "Hey man, great songs!", to which Moz apparently responded with "Like you would know?"
Needless to say he's not on her Christmas card list - a pity, as they're both great. She did mention that she'd loved the Smiths songs in their day though. She then went on to do a blinding version of 'Don't Look Back in Anger' by Oasis, which more than won over the crowd.

I don't believe this occurred, or it's been radically embellished. Not that I wouldn't love if he said this to her! But sounds like a load of B.S. to me. She was probably on as many drugs that day as she was the night of this concert. Get a grip, Tori.

All anyone needs to know is that she went on to play an Oasis cover. Oasis is a band that no one should ever cover, unless you are pissed as hell on pints in some shite pub doing karaoke....

The "legendary tune" she had meant was Oasis's Don't Look Back In Anger, but it seems Tori is still angry , as she personalised the lyrics with: "You ain't ever gonna tear my heart out, Morrissey."

I hope it's a complete joke & a lie anyway, because i quite like Tori's music, Blood Roses would be in there if i ever wrote a list of my favourite songs, but still, calling him names in his own City is just a bit below the belt.

poor girl- even if you dont like her music, that was pretty harsh. im sure its embellished a bit [the swearing seems unliklely and was probably juste inserted via her pissed off mood when telling the story], but its not something she would completely make up either. im sure there some truth to it.
iguess Morrissey is past the patience of "Girl Least Likely To", or at least cannot extend the same courtesy to strangers.

It's also funny that so many take their dislike for someone elses music so seriously. I mean, to the point of ignoring all sensible social conventions.
This is all reminiscent of junior high.

Let's face it, Morrissey's taste in music is terrible. Why? Because it is too self-righteously tasteful. Morrissey sees himself as standing at the apex of a pyramid of taste. The closer something is to him the more tasteful it is. Anyone who makes music that is autonomous - like Tori Amos - is therefore beyond the pale. She is different to him, and that is not to be tolerated.
I remember loving Morrissey for lyrics like these:
"It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate/ It takes guts to be gentle and kind."
If that's so, Morrissey is now utterly gutless. When was the last time he showed the world at large anything other than hatred?
I still like the man's music, but I think it's a bad idea to idolise him. His talent lies in making music in which we - the listeners - can find ourselves.
