Morrissey attends Sparks homecoming
Thanks to everyone who
e-mailed about the sighting at the Sparks homecoming concert in Hollywood on Nov.
14 (allstar
report). From Poets Starve and Torr, the mention in the allstar column "Miss
Truth":
...Self-professed Sparks fan Morrissey
made a point to catch the duo's long-awaited L.A. gig at the Key Club last Saturday (Nov.
14). Standing in the shadows and looking like his usual forlorn self with some female
pals, he was hardly noticed (George A. Paul)...
From Michael, one person who
noticed:
On 11-14-98 I attended a show in Los
Angeles at the Key Club (formerly Billboard Live). Sparks was performing that night,
(their first time in 11 yrs. in Los Angeles). Richard Blade (local KROQ dj) introduced the
band and mentioned that Morrissey was in attendance. Wow!!! but I thought he is probably
in some v.i.p. section and would never be seen. The club is small (maybe 500 capacity??),
during the show I turned around and who is standing behind me... the man himself. He was
actually standing midway up a staircase to get a better view of Sparks. Moz was in a brown
blazer w/ white t-shirt and some dark colored slacks...
And from Jo Solders, her
extremely detailed account of meeting Morrissey backstage at the concert, which I've
titled "Meeting Morrissey at
Sparks". Thank you Jo. An excerpt:
...Since this was a Sparks show we
talked about the stone age of the 70s and "Kimono My House" which had a
profound effect on both of us (well here were were all these years later at a Sparks show
for chrissake) and then of course the New York Dolls...
