Re: Richard Blade on Moz: "He is too great an artist to allow his talents to be squandered in pettin
Moz caught in another lie, hoisted by his own petard. Richard Blade offered to promote the new album, to his 26 million listeners, and Moz refused. How much more Moz dishonesty are people going to tolerate before they see the light and at least have a fair and balanced approach toward this subject? Moz is a liar, he is self destructive and he does not give a whit about his fans who pay for travel and accommodations to shows he cancels. He would rather falsely blame Kristeen Young for giving him germs than admit its been a pattern with him for a long time. He is a baby, a diva. I was personally at one show where he was not pleased with audience participation and let us know and then walked off the stage after only 7 songs and never came back out. The crowed booed and protested and were finally told that he would reschedule, and he did. Fans were given the choice to get their money back or attend the rescheduled show. I went to the rescheduled show and all he did was complain about the people who opted to get their money back. He has to stop this nonsense, it is not amusing or entertaining. When I buy a ticket, I pay him to entertain me, not listen to him complain. Enough is enough with him. Really.

http://true-to-you.net/morrissey_news_140820_01 Thanks so much for the link - and I suggest everyone read it as it appears to be Morrissey's own words. HOWEVER what Moz doesn't say is how hard he worked NOT to promote the album. We tried so hard to have him on Sirius XM doing whatever he wanted - a two hour interview, a live concert an in-studio performance, just name it. 26 million listeners. They were going to fly me out to New York to host it so Moz would feel safe. But he wouldn't do it. And did he appear on other terrestrial stations that play his music - Live 105, 91X and of course, KROQ? Answer - no. And did he do local stations when he was on tour before the sad cancellation? No. If he had made the effort to get the word out perhaps the label would have been a lot more forthcoming with their promotion. But if an artist won't take the time to promote their own album then what can a record label do? THAT is the question that Morrissey needs to address - "Why did you not work to promote your own record?". None of the rest of us expects things to just handed to us, we all have to work for it whether you're Ryan Seacrest or a Barista at Starbucks. It's a new era, everything has changed. Step up Moz, put on your big boy britches and kick some ass. You are good enough to do it. Don't let it all just fall away and then blame others. You are as responsible as they are for your career.

OK - I just sent Morrissey this e mail. Fingers crossed!!
Moz, you say you have had so many problems promoting "World Peace" - well here is an open invitation to come onto Sirius XM radio and talk about, perform or whatever you would like to do for our 26 million + listeners across the USA and Canada. You know me and you know that it would be a great interview as I have been with you since 1983 and the KROQ and Howie Klein years through to today. If you would like to limit it to just an interview then that's good. If you would like to perform a few songs as well then let's do it. If you would like to do a full concert at the studios in front of a live audience then absolutely. You can determine the format and length - no restrictions. I hope you will give this your full consideration. You deserve to be heard on a national platform. I always tell my listeners that of all the thousands of interviews I've done over the years that your's was by far the best. "With Morrissey," I always say "you have to bring your 'A' game. The guy is quick, funny and intelligent, and if you don't keep up with him it's over." I would love the listeners to hear your side of the story, your experience with the 'business' side of the music biz and what you've been through over the past decade. You are beloved by millions and they in turn would be thrilled to hear the words coming directly from you. I hope to hear from you soon. Respectfully, Richard Blade.
