Morrissey en 'señal de protesta' no irá Canada a promocionar el nuevo álbum

En la madrugada antes de irme a dormir, ví unas imágenes HORRIBLES que pasaban en un noticiero-telediario, eran unos '..%$&#$!' asesinando focas bebe, quienes justificaban lo 'INJUSTIFICABLE' haciendo uso de un permiso otorgado por otros '..%$&#$!' del gobierno canadiense.
-no pude dormir bien -_- -

Esta mañana Morrissey se manifestó sobre dicha noticia, declarando que no llevará a cabo ninguna presentación en Canada promocionando el nuevo álbum a manera de rotunda queja y oposición a lo que se viene dando en aquel país al Norte de América.

27 March 2006
Statement from Morrissey:
"We will not include any Canadian dates on our world tour to promote our new album. This is in protest against the barbaric slaughter of over 325,000 baby seals which is now underway.I fully realise that the absence of any Morrissey concerts in Canada is unlikely to bring the Canadian economy to its knees, but it is our small protest against this horrific slaughter - which is the largest slaughter of marine animal species found anywhere on the planet.The Canadian Prime Minister says the so-called "cull" is economically and environmentally justified, but this is untrue.The seal population has looked after itself for thousand of years without human intervention, and, as the world knows, this slaughter is about one thing only: making money. The Canadian government will stream all of the pelts into the fashion industry and this is the reason why the baby seals are killed with spiked clubs that crush their skulls - any damage to their pelts is avoided. The Canadian Prime Minister also states that the slaughter is necessary because it provides jobs for local communities, but this is an ignorant reason for allowing such barbaric and cruel slaughter of beings that are denied life simply because somebody somewhere might want to wear their skin.Construction of German gas chambers also provided work for someone - this is not a moral or sound reason for allowing suffering.If you can, please boycott Canadian goods. It WILL make a difference. As things stand, Canada has placed itself alongside China as the cruelest and most self-serving nation."

Ha comenzado

Como muchos de ustedes ya sabrán, la gira del 'Ringleader Of The Tormentors' ya empezó!.
Los primeros afortunados fueron los de Oklahoma (US), en donde Morrissey realizó dos presentaciones el 13 y 14 de Marzo.
El tracklist fue:
First Of The Gang To Die / Still Ill / You Have Killed Me / The Youngest Was The Most Loved / Reader Meet Author / I Have Forgiven Jesus / I Will See You In Far-off Places / My Life Is A Succession Of People Saying Goodbye / Girlfriend In A Coma / Let Me Kiss You / Life Is A Pigsty / Trouble Loves Me / How Soon Is Now? / Suedehead / At Last I Am Born / I Just Want To See The Boy Happy / Irish Blood, English Heart // Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before

Se que es difícil para un seguidor del Mozzer ser imparcial, pero debo decir que sólo he recibido buenos comentarios de los conciertos en Oklahoma.
Una de las canciones que más comentarios ha recibido es 'Still ill', aquí una muestra;
'Morrissey had been sick the whole week. He arrives on stage and says "as you have probably heard I 've been very ill and you'll all be very pleased to her that I am .............. Still Ill" and then launched into alsation cousin I believe'.
También 'Suedehead', que ha sufrido cierta modificación en la letra, para muchos 'apropiada' jeje;
"you had to sneak into my roomjust to listen to Your Arsenalit was just to see, just seeall the crap you knew, i'd written about you".

Bueno, para quienes quieran escuchar algunos temas de la presentación de Morrissey del pasado 14 de Marzo, me envían un e-mail y yo se los envío asap; aunque eso si, advierto que la calidad no es lo mejor que hay, pero se deja escuchar ;).

On the streets I ran

Desde hace unas semanas las melodías del 'Ringleader Of The Tormentors' rondan en mi cabeza, y si bien hubiera preferido esperar un poco más para subir alguna otra canción del álbum, he decidido subir una de las que más me han estado 'susurrando' en los últimos días.... (yo me entiendo), el que me inspiró a hacerlo .... Jorge Eduardo Eielson. .....

'my one and only true love is under the ground'
* Me imagino que ya todos ya habrán ordenado el álbum, no? ;)
