Morrissey kicked off his set at the Coachella Festival with the classic Smiths tune 'This Charming Man' -- just one in a string of hit songs by his former band that he played.
Performing in front of a backdrop with a black-and-white photograph of the naked torso of a sailor smoking a cigar with the word 'Refusal' written across his chest, the singer humbly asked, "Does it sound OK?" after performing 'Girlfriend In A Coma'. The audience cheered back loudly in response.
Midway through the set, Morrissey said, "I can smell burning flesh and I hope to God it's human," as the smell of barbequed meat from nearby food stands wafted through the air. A few minutes later, the famous vegetarian walked off the stage in the middle of 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others'.
He returned shortly afterward, saying, "The smell of burning animals is making me sick. I just couldn't bear it."
Morrissey continued on, performing his latest single 'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris' as well as older solo material and more classic Smiths tunes including 'Ask Me' and set-closer 'How Soon Is Now', which culminated with a loud gong finale.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but so what?

I have always detested that whiney “Meat is Murder Morrissey” - even more so today than in the 80s.
Ditto on that Happy 50th to Robert though, and yes, Stan was correct. Disintegrations is probably the best album ever, but my favorite is still Pornography.

That shirt was from
http://www.thoseshirts.com/mur.html. They have other cool shirts there like the "Celebrate Diversity" shirt with guns of all shapes, colors and national origins living together happily.

Pretty much agree........
Moderation is the key to many things....
That being said...I like a good hamburger now and again...But I also eat Garden Burgers too...I like them.
A good elk, beef, or deer steak...is wonderful too!
Again...moderation is what works for me.

I would guess you are not posting about
Bill Morrissey. That just too bad. Bill is far the better artist.
