Morrissey Likes To Fly, Dislikes Being Photographed
Here is a celeb sighting that we don’t see everyday … 80’s moperock legend (who still manages to record pretty great stuff to this very day) Morrissey was papped making his way thru LAX Airport yesterday afternoon bound for destination: unknown. Because I love me some Moz, I figured his lovely pics were worth posting:
The Moz man was scheduled to release his newest album, titled Years of Refusal, in a few weeks but has decided to postpone the album’s release until early next year so that it could be distributed by a different record label (he was, obvs, not happy with his previous distribution deal). Additionally, Mozzer is pissed off that Warner Bros. is releasing a live DVD from one of his performances at the Hollywood Bowl (a string of which took place last year) without his consent or approval and is urging his loyal fans to NOT purchase the disc. He posted the following message on a fan site dedicated to him:
MESSAGE FROM MORRISSEY.
The slapdash release of Morrissey live at the Hollywood Bowl is done by Warner without any consultation to me whatsoever, and is in breach of their terms as laid out by themselves in an agreement made for the film between Warner and my ex-manager. Being Warner, predictably the sleeve art is appalling. It is the work of cash-hounds, and I urge people NOT to buy it. I am not signed to Warner, and no royalties from this dvd will come to me. Please spend your money elsewhere.
thank you, MORRISSEY.
I can’t help but love the man … but I’m not sure I can resist the temptation to buy the DVD (even if it’s was created without his consent or blessing) because I missed all of his Hollywood Bowl performances and would love to see the show he put on at such a legendary venue. It’s great to see the man out and about sometimes … he is one of those celebs who I am still very fond of and get a kick out of seeing deal with today’s spotlight, many years after his time in the sun. Keep doin’ your thing, Morrissey … I’m still lovin’ it all.

am i the only one who thinks he’s a complete douche? i like a few smiths songs, but that’s about as far as it goes. he’s so pompous, and a lot of the lyrics for the smiths were pretty awful.

You’re not the only one, but you’re still wrong. His lyrics are b-rilliant. ;)

Ahh, I love that man.

Just wanted to clarify, he did a strong of shows at the Hollywood Palladium last October. The Hollywood Bowl show was in June and was a one time show. :)

Dude, you’re my favorite blogger ever. Viva Mozzy!

I think I have loved him more in the past 15 years then I ever did when the Smiths were together. His lyrics and wit have matured into perfection and his newsworthy antics are always bold and sweet vengence. I loved it when he said Madonna would make a coat out of an African child… if it were in fashion.
