Q "And your Sunday Morning record?"

A " The Beautifull One's by Prince or the entirety of Morrissey's maladjusted album"

In an interview with C4 text page Planet Sound (Pg 350) Damien talks about his 'problems' with Morrissey:

There were stories that Morrissey had thrown Damien Dempsey off his US tour because he wouldn't stop talking about eating juicy steaks.

"Oh jeez, that was a JOKE," says Damien. "We were in this place in the States famous for steaks so I mentioned it and Morrissey came up and jokingly put his hands round my throat. We were just having a laugh. See that's what people don't realise - Morrissey is a real funny guy."

Looks like my story got around.

If you're lucky enough to have access to High Definition satellite/cable tv in the US, check out HDNet (Ch. 78&79 on Direct TV, I'm not sure what the Dish Network channel is...)as they are debuting, Who Put The "M" In Manchester? throughout the month of March. (providers)

If you don't have HDTV at home, I suggest going to a big electronics dealer (Best Buy or Circuit City) and ask them if you can check out HDNet for a few minutes.

I saw it yesterday afternoon, and it was incredible. Looks like it's on again Thursday night 3/10. HDNet Concert Series schedule.

I don't know if anybody has seen this but I was reading The Fly magazine today and apparently the singer Jim Noir's new tour is going to be called "How Soon is Noir?" (a reference to the Smiths' song, obviously). Made me giggle anyway.
