Couldn't be the Morrissey meeting with Ian from Echo?

 

[kyleleonard]

what?

 

[Raphael Lambach]

what?

At 80's Morrissey met Ian. It happened in a restaurant and Ian ate meat in that occasion.

 

[kyleleonard]

yeah? and? lol

 

[zither]

very good idea BUT that's exactly the dangerous moment when a cover band becomes in their mind the original band they render homage and covers other people's song. I believed The Smiths split back in the late 80's... still good idea

 

[kyleleonard]

just watched it again, and it's cringe-worthy, don't like it, not one bit.

 

[Raphael Lambach]

yeah? and? lol

Don't you really know anything about or are you kidding?

 

[kyleleonard]

It's an Ian's interview to french magazine...

"(The Smiths) I like them much more now they are dead than when they were alive (loose translation). I adore most of all 'Reel Around the Fountain'. There was a competition between them and us when they started and I could never understand why journalists preferred Morrissey's songs to mine. Maybe because like Joy Division there was something about the singers that people with no personality could identify with. (owch) Personally in my lyrics I only give part of myself and I already think it's too much. What always amazes me is the number of people who want to be the next Morrissey. Frankly who would want to be like someone who is so uncomfortable with himself? People want to be like him and he only wants one thing -- to be like someone else!! (laughs...)

I don't think Morrissey is a great singer. (hello mr pot I'm mr kettle). I met him when the Smiths first started out. A magazine suggested he interview another singer, and I don't know why, he chose me. I accepted on two conditions. One it be held in Liverpool and two it be held where I could have a drink. We met in a pub at lunchtime. I took great delight in ordering beef and holding it under his nose as he had told me he was a vegetarian (laughs)...

I thought he was very nice but I quickly learnt it was a (French word I can't translate "tocard"). At one point to display his literary skill he talked of a chassam (chasm). You only need to open a dictionary to know you don't pronounce it like that. Contrary to him I never read books, but I've known how to pronounce that word since I was six years old."

Some things are great, but just don't mix.

Like hot sauce and chocolate ice cream.
