Glastonbury 2011 from my sofa #5: Morrissey

The thing about Morrissey is that he wouldn't be great if he wasn't a bit of a prat. It was that aspect of his character (and that aspect of Smiths fans) that always makes me forget just how much I do actually like him. I haven't seen Mozzer in a long, long time - probably this gig at the Brixton Academy in 1991. I remember going to that one with a little apprehension... I also remember coming out of it loving his swagger and his attitude - and all those great songs. Obviously not so much to make me a fan because that was 20 years ago and I've not bothered to see him since... but enough...

Morrissey's Glastonbury set was all that I like about him - all that swagger and all that attitude, those songs and that delivery, and that prat-undercurrent.

OK - that'll do for Glastonbury posts but if I were inclined I might have mentioned... The Go! Team, Noisettes, The Joy Formiddable...
