Calling all Morrissey fans, vegetarians and anyone else who watched Letterman's June 29th show in utter disbelief...

If you'd like to participate in the boycott of the show and its sponsors, you can find contact info and a sample letter at blog.myspace.com/senoritaincognito or amidst the July 6 comments on Morrissey's "official" myspace.

Freeloaders Of The World, Unite

Morrissey apparently insisted on recording his last album in Rome. Fair enough, it has superb recording facilities; so the moping Manc took a room in the city's finest five star hotel, despite being offered a luxury flat on the banks of the Tiber.

The singer (now beginning to resemble a down-on-his luck barber in the first stages of alcoholism) arrived in Rome early for his recording stint. Two months early, in fact, all spent running up a huge hotel bill and waiting for the pre-booked studio time to arrive.

Naturally, he felt unable to share a hotel with his band and producer Tony Visconti, who were housed at a somewhat lesser establishment (what a charming man, etc). The rigours of singing for a few hours a day so exhausted the frail Morrissey that he was forced to recuperate for a further two months in his hotel suite, bringing his time in the luxury accommodation to a marvellous seven months. And so, possibly for the first time in history, an album cost more in hotel bills than studio time.

'I wasn't aware that Morrissey had 'come out' as Elton John. Or gay, for that matter. ...The commercial success of his return in the last few years - much greater than any he had with The Smiths - has led to people paying him attention who never took the time before. Oh look! 'Ringleader of the Tormentors' has some saucy lines in it that seem to suggest bumming! Hold the presses! Morrissey has come out as a big gayer!

As anyone who's been paying attention since the early 80s can tell you, if they have their teeth in, Morrissey was never 'in'. His lyrics and his album sleeves and his sensibility were, from the very beginning, outrageously, molestingly direct. Much more so, arguably, than if he had announced he was gay on John Craven's Newsround.'
