Statement from J.Barry:
South With Morrissey is being withdrawn from sale. Everyone who ordered it will be refunded and no-one will receive a copy. As I said, only Morrissey and David T. have seen it and that is how it will have to be. Sorry to have raised expectations but I can only say my intentions were honourable. If this was 1984 I would be Morrissey and Morrissey would be Terence Stamp.---

After all the riots in the north that I have to step over going about my life we don't need to hear that sort of stuff.
And I know Morrissey wasn't intending that sort of "Whaaat?" reaction but I think your posting just goes to show how many people have misunderstood it. Shame.

We wouldn't even argue about crap Cover, spelling mistakes, legal/illegal DVD's and 7 or reissures/repackages such as "South With Morrissey", "The Very Best Of The Smiths", "MEBY" or "The CD Singles 88-91" we had since 1997 if the man himself would kick himself to get up and release new material.
Unless then, please do not complain if the fan wants to get anything "slighly new" which is offered.
And, by the way Mr. Morrissey, there were a few bands which survived a 'non-release' period only because of bootlegs, e.g. Guns 'n' Roses. Maybe an official release of "South With Morrissey" won't be such a bad idea... unless you don't have something new for us.

He was a crook! (Score:0)
He didn't use his real name cuz he was a
CROOK. Oh sure, he used a fake name cuz
a few people had trouble pronouncing his
real one. Right! And it's just a coincidence
that he comes up with this fake name just as
he knowingly was breaking the law and thieving
from Morrissey and his fans.
If you wanna make a film to sell, make a film
and sell it. Don't eff with another artist
and try and make money by ripping him and his
fans off.
He tries to come off all idealistic. Well
then why did he try and make $$$$$$ off it??
He had to withdraw it cuz the facts were
against him.
He tries to manipulate us by saying he's not
one of the people in suits. Blah blah blah.
But he was after our $$$$$$$.

It seems to me that some Morrissey fans will begin to spill comments against Morrissey the second something "contrary" happens, which really is sad. Morrissey has a right to protect his own name and that of it's distribution. J. Berry should have known that; no question about it. I don't buy his arguments of ignorance (because, after all, that's what they are, ignorant). Morrissey also has the right to release material whenever he wants to; so to even gripe about the lack of output over the past few years is pointless.
At the same time, even though Morrissey does have an image to protect, he also does have somewhat of an obligation to his fan base. To claim that he doesn't is to participate ones thought in futility. I think he should at least give some kind of response to his fan base about his recent lame duck attitude to his fans, which I don't believe he has done for quite sometime. The recent poll question on this site even points to this; we wouldn't have to ask such questions like "Does Morrissey want us to leave him alone?" if he would at least recognize his fan base every one in a while. It's obvious he has an adoring fan base who takes great interest in his art, and to ignore that kind of adoration is selfish (maybe on both parts).
He really has forgotten us in a way, but at the same time, we have forgotten that he is an individual with his own agenda. That's what makes Morrissey so appealing; he's just Morrissey, and to ask any different of him would just be against everything he as an individual stands for.

First of all thid whole dvd thing is not about the money.Morrissey has never objected to the loads of bootlegs that are in existence.But if you want proof here it is.The following is from a 1990 KROQ interview.
Richard Blade~"How do you feel when you travel around when you are in America or Europe and you see the Morrissey or The Smiths bootlegs coming out because people put them together because theres nothing available?"
Morrissey~"Sometimes I don`t mind if they are good and sometimes I buy them I know your supposed to be very annoyed because they make lots of money and none of it comes to you but that really doesn`t bother me and I`m glad there`s enough interest in The Smiths for there to be bootlegs and so forth so it`s really just pleasing."
So there you have it .I think Morrissey objected to the sale of this dvd on pure principle.He had a working relationship with this person and that person released it without his permission.So come on it wasn`t about money.
Now all the Moz bashing and namecalling and old man jokes are not only unkind they are untrue.Morrissey is beautiful inside and out.But let`s all remember what`s important here his truly beautiful music.Isn`t that why we are all here?So give it a rest and give him a break .-Tibby
