Alec Baldwin and Morrissey team up to pack a PETA punch - PETA news releases

Actor’s Factory-Farming Video Lets Music Icon’s Fans Meet Their Meat
For Immediate Release:
May 9, 2005

Excerpt:

Says Morrissey, "I have arguments with people who are the most diehard carnivores, but once you have an intelligent debate with somebody, you can see how they begin to break down a little and their edges become softer, and you can see that this is not a difficult topic—the whole idea of vegetarianism is so simple. … Nobody can come up with a good argument for eating animals—nobody can." The 1985 album Meat Is Murder, which Morrissey recorded when he was lead singer for The Smiths, is still inspiring young people to go vegetarian.

Johnny Rogan was interviewed this evening on Irish radio by Dave Fanning. Rogan was discussing his latest book 'No Surrender' which is a biography on Van Morrison. While discussing Morrison's apparent displeasure at being Rogan's latest subject the conversation naturally veered towards the famous Morrissey fatwas of the 90s. Rogan stated that despite all Moz has ever said about him he (Moz) had been nothing but nice to him when they met. He then went on to say that just last year he was informed that Morrissey was looking to make contact and had infact asked for Rogan's phone number and it was given to him. Despite this apparent olive branch an unsurprised Rogan concluded that as of yet no contact has been made by Morrissey.

Ran across a review [PM Media] for Moz's live disk this evening and didn't know if you'd checked it out or not. General high praise and the writer has some interesting thoughts on the Morrissey experience.
