I like it. Not a straightforward rendition, and all the better for it.

Margaret Dale

I did not know Margaret on a personal level, but she was always there on the front row - the UK, the US, Israel - wherever we'd go, she'd go. Last week Margaret drove behind the tour bus all the way from Davis to Seattle, and managed to get onstage at Davis. I had signed her arm and it was now a tattoo. This week she is dead. I can only hope, for Margaret, that death yields the profit of rest, and somehow provides her with a listener. We all weary of living in the same skin day after day, in a world where only the blandly trivial are allowed to be heard, but there is nothing wrong with taking your destiny into your own hands, just as there is nothing wrong in understanding what is meant for you and what isn't. We are plonked into life without ever choosing to be, and we are despised if we fail to find a paralyzed spot in which to keep still and shut up...

Lugo de que Morrissey fuera hospitalizado esta semana debido a una severa neumonía, se acaba de dar a conocer que el músico ha cancelado también su participación en el Vive Latino, donde se presentaría este jueves 14 de marzo.

Según información de Coca-Cola FM, las actividades que se tenían programadas para ese día han sido canceladas, por lo que las actuaciones de Centavrvs, SVPER - antes Pegasvs- y Enjambre, serán cambiadas para el viernes 15 de marzo.

El acomodo de bandas queda de la siguiente forma:

Centavrvs a las 14:00 en el Escenario Indio.

Pegasvs – Svper- tocará a las 14:20 en Escenario Unión Indio.

Enjambre se presentará a las 22:00 horas en la Carpa...

Sorry, I have too much self-respect to even bother clicking the link...

Update March 10 - true-to-you.net

Morrissey is presently being treated in San Francisco for "double pneumonia", but remains on course to headline the Vive Latino festival in Mexico City on March 14. Morrissey's show at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco will now take place on May 1. His show at Washington's National Theater for April 5 has sold out within eight seconds.

Morrissey has apologized for the "extreme and silly" venue security at Portland's Arlene Schnitzer Theater during his show there (March 8), commenting: "place an obese McDonalds fry-girl into a venue security uniform and she is suddenly Eva Braun."

You see, here's another chap who knows how to say blatantly contrary stuff, flying in the face of the majority opinion, to get a response. And I fell for it. Only a loon would say Sumner is a better guitarist, or riff-former or melody-maker than Marr.

Excerpt:

… which begs the question of who actually owned the 1980s… Morrissey, maybe? The trouble is, I find his work very limited: interesting lyricist, but his voice and music bore me.
