Morrissey condemns meat eaters at Coachella Festival
Moz delivers Smiths tunes galore during his set
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 tonight (April 17).
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.

People like that annoy the hell out of me.

I wish I could walk around with some sort of disclaimer that says: "Not all vegetarians are friggin' extremists! You can eat yo' chicken sandwich in front of me!"
it's his concert, not a friends' gathering. If britney can bitch about smoke when SHE SMOKES, then I think this is pretty fair
Everyone gets it, he doesn't like meat but maybe he calmed down about it and wasn't all ~BURNING FLESH!~ meat eaters might give it a try. Case in point, look at all the comments in this thread going BACONNN just to spite him.
FAIL.
And I've noticed that the friends of mine who'll throw hissy fits if they see you buying chicken at the grocery story (true story: one of my friends shared an apartment with her and they went grocery shopping together, and my vegetarian friend through a shitfit when she saw the other friend put frozen chicken in her basket) are usually the ones who are vegetarian 90% for the attention.
Sort of OT, but does this annoy you: when you go out to eat with people and before they even figure out what they are ordering, they scan the menu and point out the things you'll be able to order. My mom does this and it drives me crazy. It's like hello! I have the same menu-reading skills as everyone else. What bothers me even more is when people focus on my plate at a dinner party or holiday dinner. I always try to be subtle and don't like people to discuss or focus on my vegetarianism. It does nothing but make the host uncomfortable and guilty at the thought that they don't have much vegetarian food. For me, it'll never be the last time I'm going to eat, and I'm mainly there for the company. I hate it when the conversation shifts to my food choices. Sorry for the rant, but I don't know many vegetarians and I'm guessing vegetarians are the only ones who could understand.
But the way he's behaving? Makes me not like him at all.
It's VEGANS that always brought the wank.
I don't give a shit what other people eat around me/not around me. I only give a shit about what I eat.
I eat meat but I can't blame Moz for getting mad because he has every right. HATERS TO THE LEFT!
