Riot Fest Vendor Mocks Morrissey With Meat-Filled Sandwich - DNAInfo Chicago

By Mina Bloom | October 14, 2016 6:05pm

Excerpt:

LOGAN SQUARE — Riot Fest vendor and local business Puffs of Doom is speaking out against what they described as "ridiculous" treatment by musician Morrissey and his management at the music fest last month by launching the "Pork Morrissey" sandwich.

The sandwich, which is filled with heaps of pork, cheese and bacon, was created to mock the former Smiths lead singer — a known vegan — for forcing all Riot Fest vendors to stop selling meat during his set, according to Luke Petillon, co-owner of Puffs of Doom.

VIDEOHEAD: MATTHEW ROLSTON ON DIRECTING BOWIE, BEYONCÉ, AND MILEY - MTV Podcasts
THE NOTED DIRECTOR DISCUSSES HIS DECADES IN POP MUSIC

Excerpt:

On this episode of “Videohead,” Rolston talks about how his obsession with color informs the look of each of his videos. He also talks about working with David Bowie, Marilyn Manson, and “Videohead” favorite Morrissey. Then comedian and Smiths superfan April Richardson is in-studio to talk about Morrissey’s prolific music video career.

Very nice to see some fellow fans talking about The Smiths.

Particularly I envy the guy who got 1983 Camden Dingwall gig's setlist which he also got autographs from Morrissey and Johnny.

Meet the filmmaker who set out on a pilgrimage to meet this band's most dedicated and eccentric fans for his film, 'Never Turn Your Back on Sparks.'

Excerpt:

In 2000, Israeli filmmaker and dedicated Sparks fan Pini Schatz set out to make a film about his favorite band. Without the direct cooperation of the Mael brothers, Pini, over the course of almost five years, focused his camera on the band's fans to help tell the story. The result: Never Turn Your Back on Sparks. Following its screening at the AICE (The Australian Israel Cultural Exchange) Israeli Film Festival in Sydney, i-D Australia caught up with Schatz to find out more.
