Kirsty MacColl tribute - report / pictures
posted by davidt on Monday March 05 2001, @10:15AM

 Robbie writes: The Kirsty MacColl tribute on BBC2 last night was excellent. Bono, Billy Bragg, Johnny Marr, Mark Nevin, Steve Lillywhite all said really lovely things. Some really great performances of Kirsty's songs by Eddi Reader, Jools Holland, etc. No sign of Morrissey though (apart from a photo of the two of them in the studio and a picture of Morrissey that Kirsty had in her kitchen).

Hazard also writes: The following photograph appeared on the Kirsty MacColl Tribute show on BBC TV this weekend. It was strange, but quite sad, to note that Morrissey had either been unable to contribute to the program or he had his own scenes edited out by the producers of the show.

From my own point of view, I found this rather sad but totally understandable. For many music lovers in the UK it was Kirsty's energetic backing vocals with The Smiths that had announced her return to UK music.

    Though I think it's sad that MOrrissey didn't show up for some reason, that's all there is because he definetely HAS reasons.... Dealing with the death of a friend is a very sensitive subject and everyone has their way of doing it. So may I ask all the people nagging about Moz not showing up at her funeral or doing some memorial inspired reunification with Marr or whatever to shut up in advance.

            We are not talking about a novel, a poem. It is real life, and I don't think you have the right to judge Morrissey. Have you ever lost somone you love in your life? Sometimes you feel so disturbed or it hurts your feelings, that the only thing you want is "forget it". I know nothing about Morrissey's private life, but I suspect that he just wants to cry alone. "Cry his deads" I mean. I think people expect a kind of drama when the subject is Morrissey, but he has the right to deal with Kirsty's death his own way.

            This is NOT show business. This is real life.
