Morrissey loves music, hates racism - true-to-you.net 25 April 2008 Morrissey Loves Music, Hates Racism Press Release From Love Music Hate Racism: 25 April 2008 Morrissey has personally stepped in with a significant financial contribution to the Love Music Hate Racism campaign in order to allow their 30th Anniversary Rock Against Racism concert to go ahead in Victoria Park, London this weekend without financial loss or burden to the charity. In addition to his own contribution he has rallied his management, booking agency and promoters to make up the majority of the £75,000 deficit LMHR was faced with after their main sponsor pulled out. Morrissey commented, "This is a historic event spreading an important, anti-racist message so it must be allowed to go ahead. Love Music Hate Racism got in touch and explained that the NME had pulled its support, possibly as a result of their association with me, and asked if I could help as they had not been able to replace them. This is something I am committed to and we appreciate everyone coming together so quickly to make it happen." K2 Agency, Live Nation, Pacifica Artists Group and SJM Concerts are all associated with Morrissey and have made donations to Love Music Hate Racism at his request. --- News also mentioned at Gigwise: Morrissey Rescues LMHR Carnival After NME 'Pull Out' - Gigwise

This will indeed a historic event. I'll be there tomorrow, and if Moz stepping in has saved it - thank you Morrissey.
Now, the icing on the cake would be if he takes the stage for a surprise set tomorrow afternoon!

This is the same guy who wouldn't play Live Aid because he thought that all of England's problems should be solved first (a common conservative line).
With the information age now upon him, and the Internet's ability to quickly put the heat on any flippant attitude, his tune has changed.
He wouldn't have felt the need to do such a thing in the past, but I'm sure that he is being provided strong council on such affairs.
Of course, his most gullible fans will perceive all of this with the utmost poignancy.
