Morrissey anagram on 'Quotation Marks'
posted by davidt on Tuesday August 22 2000, @08:00AM

 Little Miss Curious writes:

At 12:30pm today (GMT) on a low-budget show called Quotation Marks (presented by the newly lard-shedded Vannessa Feltz) Morrissey was among Oscar Wilde and George Orwell to have a quote of his presented to the panel of contestants. They had to unscramble an anagram of his name whilst being read the quote...it was (although this is from memory...so don't tell me off if it is wrong!)..

"I think I'm rather loved than admired...I prefer it. Eric Clapton is admired, but who could love him? His own mother perhaps."

P.S The anagram of his name was SEMI SORRY...

      They should have done the whole name.

      If you anagram
      STEVEN PATRICK MORRISSEY

      you get
      MR STRIPTEASE INVOKES CRY

      or
      MY REPETITIVE CROSS SNARK

      or even
      ARTY ROCK, NEVER PESSIMIST

      Anyone else?

      Not the first time (Score:2, Informative)
      It's not actually the first time Moz has got a mention on the programme. Last week he was one of the options in the round where they have two sets of six names, and have to guess which of the names said a particular quote about another.
      The quote in that instance was about Madonna ("organised prostitution" was the phrase, I think).
      Having already tried to credit an earlier quote to Morrissey, I was relieved nobody else was in the room otherwise I would have looked a tad stupid.

        Metro: Semi Sorry? (Score:0)
        Didn't "semi sorry" appear on the drum kit at the second "Oye Estaban 2000" Chicago show (at the Metro)? Was he "semi-sorry" he had no songs for us? Let's keep our fingers crossed for brand new or really dusty material on the upcoming tour. Last year's set list is fraying 'round the edges!
