I just found an interesting article in the Mexican "La Revista" (09/12-18/2005), entitled: "La nariz de Morrisey (sic)" ("The nose of Morrissey), by Eduardo Limon.

Here's my translation (I know, my English is far from perfect, so please forgive me):

- Not long ago I was with the band Jumbo, talking about their compilation album "Gran Panorámico". To this "regios" things haven't been bad at all, they've toured all over Mexico and the States, where they have had the chance to open for some Region 1 artists like Coldplay and Morrisey (sic).

About this last, Jumbo shared some very eccentric stories, "Rumor has it he never fucks, he hates sex", "His bodyguards make a wall when he's heading to the stage and he always keeps looking straight ahead". Gee. So, who's this Morrisey (sic)?.

He, of course, is not Elvis reincarnation.

OK, the guy was the front man of one vital band, The Smiths, and his last album is good again. So why those mega rock star fables? Only God knows, the point is that he's succesful, a great seller and... vegetarian.

And here it comes the greatest eccentricity of the English man.

"He abhors people who eat meat", the Jumbo said to me, "he hates them to approach him, rumor has it he can smell them and his nose can't stand the odor of a carnivore". Like, Oh God.

One day, just before the soundcheck, the Mexican band was outside the dressing rooms chatting with the Jaguares. There were Saúl, Alfonso and Vampiro, with his nine years old kid, all chatting with Jumbo.

Suddenly, a great confusion, bodyguards that keep running, Morrisey (sic) was coming with his whole entourage. For sure the semi-God was hungry and his bouncers had decided to take him to eat some lettuce to the dining room that had been installed next to the stage.

Passing the [typically carnivirous ?] Mexican rockers, Morrisey (sic) stopped all in a sudden. He watch them and headed towards them, the bodyguards moved away and the pompadoured man approached Vampiro, Jaguares' guitarist, stretching in a very friendly fashion his hand and smiling to his kid, who just opens his mouth, surprised, all this in the middle of the sepulchral silence of all the others.

'Nice to meet you. Hey, I would like to talk with you! Do you want to come with me?', Morrisey (sic) took the musician with him to have a chat, nine years old kid in tow.

While they were going away, all smiles, the Jumbo said "Like, how come? If this guy doesn't talk to any carnivore, because he can smell them".

And Saul, watching the new friends (Moz and Vampiro and his Kid) walking away, smiled and said: "El Vampiro is a total vegetarian". Gasp. "And his son never, ever, eats meat, his daddy have raised him like an utter vegetarian".

Vampiro came back like one hour later: "This guy's so cool", said smiling. "We chatted, I played a guitar he had around there and he even sang. He took a picture with us. Look at it. Such a good vibe this guy".

And so it is. Morrisey's (sic) good vibe has something. And, by the way it looks, also does his nose".
