The band in bathing suits (and Boz in drag)...

[Orson Swells]

Sorry.. but it's really really common. It doesn't happen only on this tour.

That's right. I saw him in drag in 1992 at the Manchester Apollo.

[Cosmic Dancer]

I'm not sure if the reason has been given...but I find it a bit ODD.

why not? he's fun

[billybu69]

why not? he's fun

Because he's 50, and it's idiotic. it was funny once.

[sdsuedehead]

I get him dressing drag during Halloween shows..but for a whole leg of a tour?

[jdbabz]

Well, it was funny at first and now it's just getting a bit ... weird. On another point the band never looks happy, no one smiles, no one jumps around, there is very little enthusiasm it seems on their part. Perhaps they do find the costumes of lack there of i.e skimpy speedos, slightly embarrassing. I doubt Marr, Joyce and Rourke would allow Moz to put them in ridiculous costumes.

I've seen Moz on three tours, & now that you mention it, there has never really been a lot of enthusiasm displayed by the guys in the band, at any of the shows.

Perhaps Moz felt that all of Boz's rockabilly skankin' in the early 90s drew attention away from him. Of course, that would only leave an attempt at shock value for the explanation of the recent drag/speedos conundrum.

Jesse seemed to like dressing like a woman in the 90s.

For us home-bodies who haven't seen anything on this tour: Any pics to illustrate what's going on with drag/speedos?

Here's just a taster:



and of course, from the main page:



I'm sure someone will oblige with the "yellow trunks" pics.

[King Leer]

I noticed Boz was in full denim style in Manila along with the rest of the band, so it's not every single date.

His dresses must have been in the wash

[joe frady]

Apparently, it's Mankinis and Louboutin's all round for Manchester in July.

This is why Johnny said no to the encore. He has grey pubes; collar and cuffs, etc

[jdbabz]

Boz could learn alot from this entrance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP8nGNbk7oQ

I dance better than Marr.

Boz has been in drag for ages. He doesn't want to get his belly out when the others are being paraded around in boxers and swim trunks.

And the alternative is to look hideously ridiculous?

Yeah, because dressed as a woman he's just dignity personified.
