Morrissey at the Smoking Popes concert in Hollywood (Aug. 15)

An anonymous person writes:
It was good to see Morrissey at the Smoking Popes concert at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood on Aug 15th. He was sitting in the balcony and was treated to a great show. It is nice to see him support a truly great band. I was first introduced to the Smoking Popes as an opening act at a Moz concert in Thousand Oaks. Thanks Moz

Morrissey comments on Live at the Hollywood Bowl DVD on true-to-you.net

Message from Morrissey - true-to-you.net
14 August 2008

MESSAGE FROM MORRISSEY.

The slapdash release of Morrissey live at the Hollywood Bowl is done by Warner without any consultation to me whatsoever, and is in breach of their terms as laid out by themselves in an agreement made for the film between Warner and my ex-manager. Being Warner, predictably the sleeve art is appalling. It is the work of cash-hounds, and I urge people NOT to buy it. I am not signed to Warner, and no royalties from this dvd will come to me. Please spend your money elsewhere. thank you, MORRISSEY.

Quinn writes:
GIAC, the international gold standard for Smiths/Morrissey tributes is calling it a day.
The band plays next Friday, August 22nd, where it all began, less than two years ago, at the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD. for the final time.

With support - doors are at nine and tix are 10.

Hope to see all of the local Solo'ers there!

How do you feel about Morrissey dropping the F-bomb during his recent concert in Hamburg, Germany? (suggested by Ken Stavitzke)
I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
The audience provocateur should be examined, not Morrissey's reply
