Re: First time ever hearing morrissey saying 'f***'
Why thanks. I think she was being serious though. I note you nor your compatriot get the Kenneth Tynan reference.
Then maybe you'd know I wasn't Phil Collins. But Seriously.
On 13 November 1965, he participated in a live TV debate, broadcast as part of the BBC's late-night satirical show BBC3. He was asked whether he would allow a play to be staged in which sexual intercourse was represented on the stage, and replied: “Well, I think so, certainly. I doubt if there are any rational people to whom the word 'f**k' would be particularly diabolical, revolting or totally forbidden. I think that anything which can be printed or said can also be seen." No recording survives of the programme, but “Private Eye” always maintained that Tynan’s stammer made it the first 13 syllable 4 letter word. This was the first time the word "f**k" had been spoken on British television. Johnson later called Tynan's use of the word "his masterpiece of calculated self-publicity", adding "for a time it made him the most notorious man in the country"
In response to public outcry, the BBC was forced to issue a formal apology. The House of Commons signed four separate censuring motions signed by 133 Labour Party and Tory backbenchers. Mary Whitehouse, a frequent critic of the BBC over issues of "morals and decency", wrote a letter to the Queen, suggesting that Tynan should be reprimanded by having "his bottom spanked". The irony of Whitehouse's comment has been noted, given the later revelations of Tynan's fetish for flagellation. The episode further encouraged Whitehouse in her campaign against the BBC; it also cut short Tynan's television career. Comedian Billy Connolly would later commemorate this event in his song "A Four-Letter Word".

Western man, especially the Western critic, still finds it very hard to go into print and say: 'I recommend you to go and see this because it gave me an erection'
A true national treasure, a bit like Moz really

Re: First time ever hearing morrissey saying 'f***'
Damn, Morrissey is on fire. He should expect to be called names by the audience, it's what all performers get, criticism. What he did was a bit way too arrogant. He must think very much of himself in order to humiliate the guy.
Morrissey on Fire.
Very very very wrong and rude.

Re: First time ever hearing morrissey saying 'f***'
yeah like in his music and interviews he's not preforming...i don't know its a weird dynamic between audience and stage...he's never treated an audience like there was any difference between them...what with encouraging people to come up on stage...or even the way he acts in interviews...he isn't a preformer right so...he's really just doing what he always does.

Re: First time ever hearing morrissey saying 'f***'
shyness certainly doesn't stop morrissey anymore
He also seemed awkward when he told the other fan, "That's my arm, I need it." Like he is getting annoyed with his fans. What's bothering morrissey these days? he seems to be in a bad mood. Of course, he does have a personal life...who knows if there is something wrong.

Re: First time ever hearing morrissey saying 'f***'
Oh, I think he knows. You think that might surprise him? Nah.
I worry he finally visited the Morrissey-solo forums and noticed we're all embarrassingly maladjusted. That may piss me off

I thought the same, but I think he's just getting sick of it all since Liverpool. I dunno, but from what I've just watched it looks like he wants to call it a day for some reason.

Re: First time ever hearing morrissey saying 'f***'
And at the Palladium he said "What the f*** do you have to do to get played on the radio?" It got a big cheer, after which he asked the audience if he should swear more. I was startled, in a good way.
I'd just like to say firstly that he wished everyone at the Pittsburgh Tour of Refusal gig a "Feckin' great St. Patrick's Day, for feck's sake!" So Hamburg isn't the FIRST place he's said it

Re: First time ever hearing morrissey saying 'f***'
....Going to a Morrissey show these days is starting to give people too many wrong sort of feelings of "Anticipation" in the stomach........
Is he going to show up??
Is he going to collapse ??
Is he going to walk off ??
Is he going to use a loud microphone to make someone look "Small" ??
( ... And THIS from a man who has consistently wrote songs about the awfulness of bullying ???)...
Is he going to cut the show short because of something ??( I didn't see what happened in Liverpool in 2006,( The Philharmonic hall gig..) but that resulted in an "Early bath" for Him ,and the fans, too....).
Ohhh...It's all getting a bit "Prima Donna" for me nowadays.....Dahlinks...

I was with a bunch of friends at the Palladium - I must have looked gobsmacked when he swore because they fell about at my reaction.

Re: First time ever hearing morrissey saying 'f***'
Yes, I was similarly startled when Moz said a couple of times onstage in Tucson in the summer of 2002 "f***" the music industry. I wrote about instances where Moz used uncouth language onstage (as early as '97).
He's getting to be a salty old man!

I get the impression that an apologetic response to begin with might have won Moz over.
