"What Ever Happen I Love You": "Goodbye,"

November 12, 2009

"Goodbye,"

          Liverpool - Setelah pingsan di panggung akhir Oktober lalu, penyanyi Morrissey kini telah pulih. Ia pun naik panggung lagi. Sayang baru saja menyanyikan lagu kedua di konsernya, sebuah botol nyasar ke kepala Morrissey. Terpaksa konsernya pun dihentikan.

           Kejadian tersebut berlangsung di Liverpool, Inggris, 7 November waktu setempat. Sang bintang rock membuka pertunjukannya dengan lagu 'This Charming Man'. Ketika lagu kedua bergema di Liverpool Echo Arena yaitu 'Black Cloud' tiba-tiba sebuah benda melayang mengenai kepala Morrissey.

           Menurut saksi mata, benda tersebuh hanyalah gelas atau botol plastik yang mendarat tepat di atas kepala Morrissey. Selama 15 menit konser dihentikan dan penonton mulai meneriaki namanya.

Sayang Morrissey terlanjur marah. Ia juga pusing karena kejadian tersebut.

           "Goodbye," ujar Morrissey sebelum meninggalkan konsernya, dikutip detikhot dari
NME, Senin (9/11/2009).

            Kepolisian Merseyside, Liverpool, turut mengamankan lokasi. Mereka mengaku kecewa dengan kelakuan penonton yang dinilai sangat kekanak-kanakan tersebut. Aksi Morrissey walk-out dari arena konser juga dianggap wajar.

           Akhirnya, panitia mengumumkan bahwa tiket konser akan dikembalikan karena Morrissey hanya membawakan dua lagu.

Suedehead

The Suedehead subculture was an early-1970s offshoot of the skinhead subculture in the United Kingdom. Although sharing many similarities to 1960s skinheads, suedeheads grew their hair longer and dressed in a more formal manner.^[1] ^[2] Although working class, like the skinheads who preceded them, some suedeheads worked in white collar jobs. The female equivalent of a suedehead was a sort.

In terms of footwear, Suedeheads generally wore brogues, loafers or basketweave Norwegians instead of the heavy boots associated with skinheads. Suedeheads started wearing suits (especially in check patterns such as Prince of Wales and dogtooth), as well as other dressy outfits, as everyday wear instead of just at dancehalls at night. Crombie-style overcoats and sheepskin coats became more common amongst suedeheads. The shirts favoured by suedeheads often had large button-down collars. The most common shirt style was a large windowpane check pattern worn under a tank top (known as a sweater vest in North America). Sta-Prest trousers became worn more than jeans, which had been common with skinheads. Another unique characteristic of suedehead style was the wearing of coloured socks — such as solid red or blue — instead of plain black or white.^[2]

Musically, suedeheads shared the skinheads' interest in reggae, soul music and ska, but the sound had evolved to become slower and more soulful.^[2]^[3] Some suedeheads also listened to British glam rock bands, such as The Sweet, Slade and Mott the Hoople.^[2]^[4]

Suedeheads were portrayed in the east end London-based film Bronco Bullfrog and the Richard Allen novel Suedehead.^[5]^[6]^[3] In 1977 and 1978, a suedehead revival developed following the 1977 skinhead revival. This originated with a small number of individuals such as Hoxton Tom McCourt, who also became involved with the mod revival of late 1978 and early 1979. Morrissey released a single called "Suedehead" in 1988, although the song lyrics have nothing to do with the suedehead subculture.
