Fact #167635
When:
Short story:
The Smiths play at The Music Hall, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Full article:
Morrissey (vocalist, The Smiths) : The most insane place was Detroit (actually Cleveland). Instantly there was a stage invasion and we had to stop the show because people just piled onto the stage.
Frank Owen (reviewer, Melody Maker) : With his off-the-bum jeans and off-the-shoulder shirts, Morrissey is as gorgeously camp as ever, assaulting the male myths of rock idolatry with his usual little-bit-of-delicate-sleaze-and-a-lot-of-tease routine - the missing link between Norman Wisdom and Joe Dallesandro. Morrissey doesn't need to have sex in private because he does it all on stage. Don't be fooled by the coy boy, Miss Goody Two Shoes pronouncements: Morrissey owes more to Little Richard than he would care to admit.
Johnny Marr (guitarist, The Smiths) : There was a period where I did zone out and take it to the limit, but that was always part of what I was looking forward to as a kid. I was 21 or 22, living my dream, having just come offstage in Cleveland on a Sunday night with a bar full of Smiths fans, sat in a hotel room with a lot of money for a kid from where I come from, doing what I used to dream about at 11 or 12. I did what anyone where I come from does - I just partied. We weren't Aerosmith but we weren't The Osmonds, either.
