I went to Rob Dickinson's show last night at the Hotel Cafe in L.A. I've seen him perform here before, but last night he performed cover songs in addition to the usual solo material and Catherine Wheel classics. Well, he caught me off guard when he mentioned Morrissey. Here's what was said..."Morrissey was never particularly good at emotion, or passion...very kitchen sinky. But there was one song that always blew my mind and I think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written and I'm going to fuck it up..." and this was his intro into an acoustic version of Please, Please, Please...complete with a harmonica solo toward the end. Although a bit edgy, it sounded brilliant. He sold discs of the show right after and I purchased a copy. Anyone want to hear it?

The last thing Morrissey is known for is emotion and passion!

    Yeah, I don't get his quote about Morrissey...BUT, I love Rob's voice and adore Catherine Wheel, a truly underrated 90's band if there ever was one!!!

          Imagine being the ex lead singer of a completely boring and irrelevant 90s band and having the balls to call Morrissey 'kitchen sinky'.

          Haha. What a dickhead
