Not to stoke the fires (not that it takes much here
), but I think there might've been a
little reason that Moz and co. didn't like Morrisseytour. For one thing, some of the reviews were, ah, shall we say,
less than glowing.
And when I first became a big fan, I basically read the whole site, SO, I do have an opinion about the whole thing... Want to know what I think? (SURE you do!)
Again, this is purely my take on things, but a big part of the problem, I think, is that they seemed to reveal a bit too much at times, things that were better left forgotten.
I don't know... Well, actually I do. Ok, they were in an enviable position on that first tour they all went on, right? Maybe they didn't have an all-access pass to Moz himself, but they weren't doing too badly.
Now, I know that if I were in that position, I would give my synopsis of the concert -- ya know, some interesting details, Moz stage chatter, etc., and, other than that, I would keep my mouth
shut. Period. It's about respect for the man and for the people he depends on, I think.
However, as nice personally as a couple of the girls are (and they are), they did not do that, and I know hindsight is 20/20 and all that, blah, blah, but I feel that they revealed a bit too much -- hell, they basically told
every detail of every
thing. (Again, I believe it's okay, occasionally, to share a few positive, innocuous things about an encounter you've had -- I've done that, myself -- but that's not what this was.)
Another thing that I always wondered about was how they would just talk absolute sh*t about people at times, sometimes shockingly so. I mean, was it really necessary to speak so negatively of Julia? She
is a nice lady, and, as far as I know, never says a word against anybody, period. So was it really good karma to speak that way about her? My peeps say nah.
So, overall, I think it was that their collective fall from grace was probably because:
a) they gave more than a few negatively-vibed reviews, b) loose lips sink ships, especially in Morrisseyland, and c) they talked smack about Jules, one of the most loyal fans
evah.
That's why I think the honeymoon ended for them. Still, parts of it
were a good resource. Maybe it could be rehabbed -- who knows...?
