Red Nail Varnish?

[Amy]

Slightly bizarre, but I've just watched the Morrissey Live in Dallas DVD, and I could swear there was a point where he put his hands close to the mic, and I could see red nail varnish on both thumbs but not on the fingers? Maybe I'm going mad... Or maybe it symbolises something? I have no idea..

What song??

[littlecharmer]

He regularly wore red nail polish on his thumbs during the kill uncle tour.

[Danny]

Wasn't he copying Marc Bolan? I think he used to do that.

Actually, it was magenta.

And do you know why?

[joe frady]

Oh I've long, long ago abandoned any attempts at answering 'why ?' Morrissey does anything, from elastoplasts on his brow/nipple through fake cuts to crotch foliage to Eurovision obsession, it is all just the wonderful world of Morrissey !
In this particular instance I recall that in an NME interview at the start of the 'Kill Uncle' tour he stated that his perfect audience would consist of skinheads wearing magenta nail varnish. I also have a more vague recollection of reading somewhere that, as previously noted by Danny, it was a nod to Marc Bolan.
Kind regards,
joe.
