Offered for auction is a truly rare gem: a 2015 Jermaine Rogers handbill printed on stunning Opal stock. This captivating image originates from a poster created by the artist for a memorable 1999 Morrissey concert held at the Maritime Hall in San Francisco.

The artwork features the iconic Jack I. Box mascot, renowned from the Jack in the Box fast food chain, depicted in a powerful stance, chained to a pole with the striking proclamation 'Meat Is Murder'. This phrase holds significant resonance as the title of Morrissey's band, The Smiths', 1984 seminal second studio album. 

'Meat Is Murder' epitomizes a more vocal and politically charged direction for the band, with tracks like the eponymous anthem advocating for vegetarianism and condemning corporal punishment. The album showcased The Smiths' musical evolution, incorporating diverse influences ranging from rockabilly to funk.

Morrissey's activism extended beyond music, as he used his platform to critique the Thatcher administration, the monarchy, and societal norms. His advocacy for vegetarianism was particularly pronounced, even influencing television programming with footage of slaughterhouses during dinner hours.

This handbill not only commemorates a historic concert but also serves as a poignant artifact of cultural and musical significance. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of both artistic and activist history.
