so did that piece on Moz and his fans end up running? I forgot to pick a copy up before I left the city yesterday, and was curious if any of my interview made it into the article.

LMFAO!!!
FYI, here's what the Post printed yesterday about the Monday show:
October 24, 2007 -- MORRISSEY and moping might go hand in hand in the pop culture consciousness, but the iconic singer overcame that assessment with a smart, well-played concert at the first of his five-night N.Y.C. series.
Monday's gig at the Hammerstein Ballroom was a 90-minute set of greatest hits. The night's selections - everything from “You Have Killed Me" from his latest solo record to the Smiths classic “Death of a Disco Dancer" - were plugged into themes of violence and lawlessness. The melodies of the songs either rocked or floated prettily, and they stood in contrast to the dark lyrics.
Morrissey sounded great for a man who's had his share of medically related singing problems - his June concerts here were cancelled because of a sore voice box. His baritone was clear and supple in both bass and falsetto.
Morrissey's fans are devoted to the singer, so it was surprising that the show was not sold out.
Dressed in blue slacks and an open-collared blue shirt, Moz looks like a favorite uncle on his way to the wet bar. He cemented that avuncular persona by introducing the opening song, “Stop Me if You Think You've
Heard This One Before," with the invitation “Climb upon my knee, New York City." Interesting patter makes the audience feel a personal connection to the artist, but Morrissey also adds a great physicality to his show. He just doesn't stand there. The man paces the lip of the stage, touching fans, letting them touch him.
He often made elegant matador moves where he dodged invisible bulls.
He sounded good and looked good as he worked the crowd, but despite the screams of the boys and girls when he took off his shirt, he might reconsider this move before someone goes blind.
Morrissey continues at the Hammerstein with performances scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.
"He sounded good and looked good as he worked the crowd, but despite the screams of the boys and girls when he took off his shirt, he might reconsider this move before someone goes blind."
That line pisses me off! Moz actually is much trimmer in person. The frink doesn't do his body justice. Boo to this uninspired and apparently false article!

Yeah...the article is pretty uninspired. But it IS the Post...what do we expect? I'm impressed that they got the spelling of his name right!
But at least it was positive....well, except for the shirtless comment.
In closing, when it comes to this article, I would have to say that the great Stoner Kebab summed it up rather eloquently with:
"i saw it. it was pretty small. i giggled."![]()
I don't remember him inviting us to climb upon his knee. . .was this writer even there???

Yeah, I've just been figuring out how to listen to those amazing tapes from nyctaper and heard it. . .I guess I was just, y'know, high on Moz and lost my mind a little bit.As usual when he first comes on stage, all I hear is what's inside my own head which goes something like "omgomgomgomgomg" for at least 47 seconds.

hehehee, my mom didn't believe me that he's more fit than before (and of course damn frinky) before she saw him a few weeks ago...but then she witnessed him ripping off his shirt, and I wasn't standing next to her, but a friend of mine that was standing next to her said she uttered, "Oh wow...nice..."I had to laugh at that!
They don't know nothin'. They're just jealous...![]()
My fave line RE: Grown-Man-Moz Frink was at a show this summer. Moz ripped off his shirt and some (straight) guy near my sister says, "Ugh, he's all fat now!" My sister said, "No, honey. . .That's what a MAN looks like!"
In. Deed.
