Morrissey Called For 'Meat Ban' At Wireless Festival - Gigwise
But the Rascals ruined it...
Morrissey is reported to have called for a ban on all meat in the backstage area at last weekend's Wireless Festival in London.
The singer, who headlined the second day of the festival, is also said to have displayed 'Meat is Murder' posters in the VIP area.
But Morrissey's efforts to stop the consumption of meat failed when The Rascals chose to deface one of his posters, according to teletext.
“The Rascals lived up to their name and defaced the poster nearest Moz's enclosure so it read, 'Meat is boss', and drew a load of burgers on it,” a source said.
As previously reported on Gigwise, Morrissey also spoke out against meat eaters during his performance, saying he could smell the scent of burgers drifting across the stage.

The Smiths’ “Suffer Little Children” – Pop At Its Creepiest - cinemablend.com:
By Peter Kimmich: 2008-07-10 02:27:16
I don’t get goose bumps very often. Occasionally I’ll be sitting at home some cool, quiet night with headphones on, listening to a song I love, and I will feel a quick wave of awe; my arms will tingle for a few seconds, then it will be gone. If I had more time to sit still, it might happen more often.
But sometimes it doesn’t have to wait for the right time.
It happened to me the other day, in fact, while I was driving home from work – on a hot day, maneuvering through traffic. And it makes sense, considering the song. It was The Smiths’ “Suffer Little Children,” possibly the creepiest pop song ever written.

An anonymous person writes:I talked to Andy yesterday about his DJ tour. I asked (of course) about the box. Paraphrasing here-
There isn't that much unreleased that features vocals
Plenty of different takes/instrumentation of songs we all know (nothing new here if you read Goddard's book)
Rourke/Marr/Joyce all want it to come out. Morrissey wants little to do with something that also includes Joyce.

Today there is a big interview in the Israeli newspaper with Morrissey. Lior Ashkenazy, a well known Israeli actor, that morrissey likes very much, flew specially to London to meet Morrissey and to talk with him about the show that will take place in 29.07 Tel-Aviv. They met at a hotel in London. Ashkenazy brought Morrissey some DVDs he likes and after they go to the 02 London Festival and were at the backstage. On Friday the photographed interview will published in the net and I will send it to you. Here are some pics I scanned from the meeting Ashkenazy-Morrissey. To be continued…
