From the en fuego folks at EMD, news that Morrissey demands a meat-free venue. Way back in the day, the first Smiths jawn was called Meat is Murder, and I guess Moz is all about that lifestyle. However, this particular vegetarian manifestation, in its preposterous divaishness, is more Patti LaBelle than Peter Singer.
As his rider details, it's like this:
Catering: All food
should be vegetarian. For everyone. Including all crews, stands and
attendants inside the venue and in its vicinity. If there is a barbeque
spot nearby, the artists' room should be placed so that the wind will
not be in their direction. All food should be fresh and healthy and
mineral water should be supplied all the time. A balanced diet must be
kept and upheld.
Dinner for Morrissey: Kitchen should be stocked with the following for the artist: peas, spinach, carrots – all steamed. Roasted potatoes and grilled asparagus. Pasta – only with simple tomato sauce. Morrissey does not eat any kind of chili or spices. In addition, the food in the venue (whether sold at the stands or brought by the audience) shall be completely vegetarian – meat will not be allowed inside the venue.
The good news is, I guess, that you do not have to be female, or adolescent, to have control issues related to food. When you are a pop legend, you can just enact them on a larger scale.
