Did you trail along behind them wearing blinkers on your eyes?

If you get a slot supporting Morrissey on one of his periodic tours, don't count on spending long evenings playing Hi-Ho Cherry-O on his tour bus. The Dears' Patrick Krief says he's not exactly welcoming:

"Opening for Morrissey was a sad sight... being asked to leave the building when he's crossing the corridor or being told not to look directly at him made me sick."

Canadian Krief admitted that "sometimes it's better not to meet people you admire. The whole band was pretty upset."

"Seeing what success can do is pretty painful," he added.

Morrissey is planning to invent a special air filter for his next tour, to save him the risk of having to breathe air expired by the hired hands.
