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.
