and Sasquatch.

I am not buying it.

Um, it took FOUR HOURS for people to figure out who they were????

He did a tribute album a few years ago to Cliff Gallup, Gene Vincent's guitarist (on the early records). So there's a commonality between him and Morrissey. I don't imagine Moz is very familiar with Jeff's jazz fusion repertoire though.

Seeing is believing may be a cliché, but I need some visual confirmation before I am likely to believe this one.

Morrissey can barely finish a 90 minute show of his own... 4 hours in a hotel lobby?!?!?! Bullshit.

for April Fools?

This is possibly the funniest thing I have ever read on here....

It could be true, you all.

You never know... maybe he wasn't there the whole 4 hours.

Stranger things've happened

I heard Elvis's ghost played the congas and Frank Sinatra got busy with the steel drums.

Morrissey jam? He doesn't play an intstrument, how the hell is he going to jam. Chrissy Hymen, hmm honestly not sure if she plays guitar maybe, but don't know. So Chrissy Hymen and Morrissey are singing and Beck is jamming on a guitar, then Julian Lennon shows up what the hell sense does that make? Surely someone could have made this a little more believable. Oh by the way I think they forgot to mention Willie Nelson showed up and and they really jammed.

Wow. That would have been something to see.
Jeff Beck is an absolute legend. I saw him on Letterman about three years ago and he hasn't aged at all. He still looked thirty but he's been around for ages. And of course, Chryssie Hynde is
fantastic. I just wonder what Mr. Morrissey sang.
Oh, and Julian Lennon. I wonder what he sang.
 

i still think it would be funny if moz one day just threw in his entire style and persona, returned permanently to LA, grew a ponytail and jammed with his rock star mates, guesting on charity gigs and appearing on other people's records as 'feat. morrissey'. i'd still love him

a grateful dead concert.

Hi Everyone,

Re the rumour ("NY Post report" - May 12) the facts are very simple.

I was forewarned by Chrissy Hynde that Julian Lennon had told the Sunset Marquis that he was coming to LA, was staying in the same hotel as Morrissey and intended to "set up shop" in the lobby and have a "jam" session. The implication was that this was a mischievous move to promote a rumour that would purposely serve to make Morrissey fans feel even more "uncomfortable" then usual while he is in LA making a new album.

What Jullian did'nt know is that I have a very good relationship with Jeff Beck and when I explained the situation to Jeff he agreed to help. When Julian arrived Chrissy and Jeff met him at the door and courteously pointed him to the hotel piano situated beside the bar.

They jammed for about twenty four hours and some young men (I think they were Blur actually!) walked by. However, they were total losers trying to get a record deal and I arranged for them to be relocated.

Morrissey was not in the bar and was not even aware of the situation or my tactical moves until afterwards. In fact Morrissey has never even met or laid eyes on Julian Lennon.

I am an ass!

Best wishes,
Merck

Shit. A Smiths re-union would have been more believable than that.
