Does anyone have a link to the story about Morrissey's personal assistant?

[Peppermint]

On the subject of towels, my old accountant had to sort the rider out for the Madness support concert where Morrissey got done over with bottles and the likes, with the Union Jack waving and all. It was 60 white towels, a crate of beer for the band and bottles of water. I always wondered what they needed all of those towels for, stage lights are hot though.

Were those all for Madness, or Morrissey, or everybody?

It was just Morrissey's rider. Blokey never met Morrissey, just told me what he asked for so all of my questions akin to yours went unanswered. Other than that was for the whole band.

It does make me laugh, though. Why do the towels need to be white?

I ended up watching several bags of Morrissey's groceries for some assistant or another for a few minutes prior to his concert in Eugene, 2002. I remember laughing about his Mung bean crisps, multiple cases of water and beer, and something like a dozen or more high end chocolate bars.

EDIT: I should say I know nothing of his towel situation, but I hope to god he had enough.

I'm guessing so Moz could tell if they were clean or not ?

 

[Charlie Cheswick]

Two points, yeah, why white towels? Maybe fear of somebody sneaking a skid mark in to spite him on a coloured towel.

And what are high end chocolate bars?

You know, the really, really expensive ones. Not like your average Hershey (ugh) or Cadbury's (slightly less ugh). The kind that I buy for my wife once a month because I'm a very smart man.

Very expensive, gourmet chocolate. Now, how surprised are you, on a scale of 1-10?

 

[Charlie Cheswick]

I need you to share your chocolate secrets. Cadbury's is good from the fridge, trust me on this.

9, I want to know about this chocolate and where to find it. On the cheap of course.

Ah, no, it has to be Green & Black's 85% for me

Dear God, crisps, beer and chocolate. No wonder he's always ill.

I've had Green and Blacks, made me feel a bit peculiar. I reckon they chucked a bit of nut in to f*** with me. Either way, this topic is making me hungry.

What, like a Howard Hughes type thing? I did read somewhere that he was germ-phobic.

Yes, Howard Hughes unraveled in the end. I think it was a combination of wealth, mistrust and an increasing level of insular living that lead to it. Hmmmmm...sounds familiar. Leonardo DiCaprio made a great movie of his life. Worth watching.

PS. Tell Jesse I want 80 white towels, all right?

Oh dear. Does nut usually do that to you?

He's got the diet of a picky 8 year old. I've thought his diet at least partly to blame for a long time regarding his health. It sounds like he survives almost exclusively on carbs. That, and I couldn't imagine a life of bland foods no matter what diet you follow.

I've often thought that too. But then so much about him owes much to arrested development. Yes, too many carbs = fermenting gut which is a risk factor for Barrett's Esophagus, I believe.

Yeah, I'm allergic to them but just a trace will make me feel off rather than kill me.

Red wine and spirits don't help much either. I had a thing for turning bright red after both and cut them out. Apparently if you turn bright red after booze and keep doing it it's a road to esophagus cancer. He's got a thing for hammering vodka apparently but at least he knows to kick red wine to the curb.

Towelgate grows evermore mysterious.
What is he doing with them?
I received a call yesterday, a throaty voice warned me 'forget the towels. If you care about your physical well-being you'll walk away.'
Good lord!
