Michael Stipe, during a particularly rocking REM concert outside of Washington, DC last night, addressed the crowd with "I'm sorry i can't provide more dramatic dialogue for you- I'm not Morrissey" after the band's first song. He went on to say that Morrissey is a "damn fine songwriter" as well as several other admiring lines for Moz. The crowd loved it!

Thought readers may be interested in knowing that Michael Stipe mentioned Morrissey on stage the other night. After making an obscure joke before going into a song, Stipe later asked the crowd if he should explain his comment, saying "I'm not Morrissey." He went on for a moment to express admiration for Morrissey as he spoke.

  • I know lots of people here really dislike Mr Stipe...but I love him. It makes me feel all tingly to hear him say these things about someone else I admire. That's nice isn't it?

  • Why the compliment? Are the rumours true that Stipe and Morrissey are a little closer than just friends?

  • Stop all this speculumation about whether Morrissey is a mattress muncher. The thought of him kissing anyone makes me heave.

    If I want to think of anyone getting it on I want it to be me.

  • He's obviously only saying these things to get on the front page of Morrissey-Solo.

    I don't know why David T gives him the free publicity.

  • At the Brixton REM show, Michael told a story of how he saw the Smiths on the meat is murder tour at Brixton. He said he liked the way Moz used to lean into the crowd - he thought it wa so cool he would steal it, and as you see today when you watch REM live he does 'Morrissey Dip' - Interesting? - Thats all. - JOHN
