Pic Request: Bono with Morrissey

[cdisantis83]

This may be a long shot, but does anyone have a picture of Bono with Morrissey, the former frontman of The Smiths? I need one for a project of mine, if such a picture exists. In any case, I figure that this would be the place to find it. Thanks in advance.

^I don't recall ever seeing a pic of Bono and Morrissey

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

me neither.

I would imagine Morrissey would run a mile rather than be seen with Bono. Still there is Photoshop....

I'm a big Bono fan and a close friend of mine is a big Morrissey fan. If there were a photo, we'd have found it by now.

I do know that Morrissey gave an award to Bono (for the very sexy U2 he said if memory serves me right) and there was a video circulating on the net. I think it was on some Irish award show ( 1998-1999??) I'll have a look and maybe I can find it..

From a Morrissey site..it had a link to the video but it doesn't work anymore.

Apr 12 98 - Sunday

Hot Press Rock Awards (Ireland)

...Morrissey didn’t win the "Irish Rover" award tonight [4/9]. It went to Shane MacGowan.

Morrissey presented the award to "the sexy" U2 for best Irish group. Bono said that Morrissey had written a book about Johnny Thunders and Morrissey said, "Almost". He was very pally with Bono, hugging him etc

To bad it's such bad quality..

Wow cool thanks patske!

 

[bonocomet]

Yes it is too bad the vid quality is so poor. I don't think we could even get a decent screencap from it.

 

[patske]

Yeah it's a shame the quality is so bad.. I remembered this because I am also a big Morrissey fan and was curious if I could find something with U2 and Mozzer.. It's the only thing I could find.
I can remember some interviews where Morrissey does speak good about Bono.. So I do think he appreciates him, however I am not to sure about the music
There is also a documentary about Morrissey where Bono talks about him..It's called The Importance of Being Morrissey and you can see the whole documenatry on youtube

I was lucky to meet Bono the day after Morrissey had played in Dublin in 2004 I think.. I had a conversation about it and he couldn't have been more gushing. He closed his eyes, tipped his head back took a deep breath and said, "Stephen Patrick Morrissey... we love him!"..then came back around and said, "He's Irish y'know".
