Steven Morrissey reviews a Depeche Mode / Ludus concert:
"Depeche Mode may not be the most remarkably boring group ever to walk the face of the earth, but they're certainly in the running. Their sophisticated nonsense succeeds only in emphasising just how hilariously unimaginative they really are. At once we recognise four coiffured Barry White's (a nauseating version); "cain't get enough of your lerve" they profess too dull to be even boring. They ressurect every murderouly monotous cliche known to modern man, and "New Life" looms as nothing more than a bland jelly-baby. Still the man from 'Jackie' was impressed, knowing that, at leat, these boys have nice hair... and the conveyor belt moves along. Ludus, plainly wishing they were elsewhere, hammered out a passionate set to an audience possibly hand-picked for their tone deafness. But Ludus like to wallow in other people's depravities and therefore their music offers everything to everyone. Linder was born singing and has more imagination than Depeche Mode could ever hope for. Still Depeche Mode get the Jackie spread. No justice!"
Petite explication sur la "critique" de Morrissey sur DM.
En fait Morrissey n'a vu le concert de DM que "par hasard". Il était à ce concert pour voir la première partie, à savoir Ludus dont la chanteuse Linder Sterling, dont il était très proche (voir même très proche, d'après certains dires...).
Du coup, il assista au concert de DM et ce qui explique sa fameuse review, pas du tout (mais alors pas du tout) impartiale....
Pour en revenir à England Is Mine, un post sur le compte facebook de Sam Easty Rayner (un photographe proche de Morrissey), m'a fait mourir de rire ce matin :
