small note on Moz in german magazine, translated
I just found a small note on Morrissey's performance at Rock am Ring. It was in "Musikexpress", August issue. Here's the original and a quick translation.
"Morrissey: A lesson in style is given to the Ringrocker community by Stephen Patrick Morrissey. With a big band ["große Besetzung" literally means many performers], oversize gong and (among others) the songs of the terrific RINGLEADER OF THE TORMENTORS, the Roman by choice ["Wahlrömer", he's Roman now because he chose to live there] clad in a tuxedo coolly demonstrates the art of ageing gracefully (thus it also fits in that around his dressing room, several toys like pinball and playstations had to be temporarily removed on his orders). The Band realises the opulent arrangements [composition] in a disciplined way, while between the songs, Morrissey keeps the freezing public at a distance with ironic aphorisms like "Thank you for not throwing anything"."
Well observed, the bit about him ageing gracefully!
Quite interesting that they say he wanted the pinball and playstation removed (I would have done the same) - but have you heard about that before?
