A big-nose who knows...
Ok, wild speculation time, but Morrissey has made a big deal this time around talking about the how Years Of Refusal is his most physical (I'm thinking specifically this years Zane Lowe interview) and it got me wondering...
Compare his live performances in recent times to older performances (not just 80's/90's but even 04ish) and although he is by no means standing still he does seem to have slowed down a lot. He's not making as much of the stage or even throwing his arms about as much as he used to: he mostly seems to walk from side to side and occassionally bend to shake hands with the audience.
Do you think this is the reason for him releasing what he describes as a 'physical' record, because he's aware (knowingly or not) that he can't make such an impact by himself on stage?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that he's a doddery old fool, I can't wait to go to his 50th in May, as well as many other dates (mind you, if he doesn't mix up the setlist I might sell some of them on!) - but I was just wondering how conscious he was of this? Perhaps he just wanted to release another rock n roll record while he thought he could get away with it.
Just something that popped into my head today, might be nonsense but it certainly seemed possible to me.
