But classically it was associated with northern Egypt, a la nesu-bity. Which I do believe (I really do) conclusively proves Crystal's Osiris theme is bollocks. Thank you all and see you next year.
Well, yeah. As suggested by my post, mine remained unallocated until whenever I sent that message; I'm sure the same is true of several other bookers, unless mine was peculiar. Presumably Morrissey was waiting to choose my seat specifically so he would know where to stare.
Oh, Dempsey's an arse. Not a fan of him. Based on my single experience of one of his gigs: his audience seems to be akin to the brash, loud, ruffian element of Morrissey's fanbase with which I can't get on board.
But at the time Morrissey wrote those letters, Kate Bush was popular. Touching...
Ay, but you wouldn't associate a minor annoyance (i.e. not liking the tone of her voice) with "trash", would you? That suggests he's either exaggerated for effect (probably yay) or he's inspired by hidden reason (probably nay) -- it's still worth considering, if you're willing to spend so much...
I'm holding a hopeful semi-belief that he might make a couple of changes for the Manchester gigs. Not because this setlist isn't fantastic -- it's one of his best ever, I think -- but, rather, because I can see him going out of his way to make the Manc shows extra special. The more logical side...
I doubt Morrissey's sincerity there, he must at least respect her talent. And those letters were written yonks before "Hounds of Love" and her best stuff, weren't they?
I can't think that he wouldn't love something like "Suspended in Gaffa", it's right up his area:
I won't open boxes
That...
But things like "Sweet and Tender Hooligan" will just be tackily pathetic, if that's the case; nevermind "Bigmouth Strikes Again" and "Cemetry Gates". It's worse than a tribute album. And I don't have to read them.
I reckon quite a few of the songs on Ringleader are just piss-takes (again, hopefully), especially At Last and Pigsty -- but they're piss-takes with a bit of personal relevance thrown in for ironic/iconic measure; perhaps most Morrissey fans are used to looking straight for the most intense...
Well, You Have Killed Me and First of the Gang both screamed "single", and the Boy Happy definitely screams another marital status/song suitability. Tish, it'll do more good than harm.
Ay, the great thing about Morrissey's lyrics is how they represent and mean so much whilst describing the mundane and the essentially forgettable (okay, and vice versa, but that's rarer). Writing prose around their happenings without the freedom for the loose, capricious artistic flow allowed by...
