Dear Morrissey . . .

{Suggs type voice}
Punctured bi-cy-cle
On a hi-ill-side
so desolate!
Will nature make a man of me yet? {horns: WAH WAH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!}

Beligerent ghouls in all the schools
headmasters breaking all the rules
spineless bastards innnn the pubbbbbb...

What the hell? (Nice photo btw)

The websiteurl.com and the phone number might make it look like a hoax but I think Morrissey's just put a work-in-progress version of the poster on his website. The Tom Jones date is listed on his own website: http://www.tomjones.com/tour-dates/.

Sir Cliff Richard 'honoured' to support Morrissey

That's a great interview. I think I'd really like to see that show, if I'm honest.

All I can say is "Thank you Patrick, or Morrissey" - I'm not quite sure how to refer to him

"That old curmudgeon you're supporting"?

woah alright I'm not massively drunk reading all this

because

I'm sure this is all an elaborate troll on the posters at morrissey-solo and you gotta respect him for that if nothing else

Concert notifier website I use had this moz tom jones show listed at the LA coliseum which can hold about 80,000 people or more... Sports arena is across the way and seats way less.

as long as he doesnt snuggle up to bette midler

Morrissey playing Vegas, duetting with Celine Dion on a mash-up (Moz-up?) of 'There Is A Light That Will Never Go Out'/'My Heart Will Go On'.

"That old curmudgeon you're supporting"?

My favorite b-side.

lol

"And if a ten tonne truck, should crash into us, my heart will go oooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnn"

Mozz shoudl be supported by Billy Ocean

cliff richard interview:

Q. He also has very strict vegetarian rules surrounding the gigs - will you be going vegetarian for the day?

A. Certainly not. No, of course not. I like to think he might eat some meat when I arrive, but I wouldn't expect him to. So I don't think he'd expect me to be vegetarian. If I found he was offended by people eating meat then I won't eat it in front of him. But I'll have a chicken curry afterwards.

this is not going to end well...

"the stage must be free of chicken gizzards"

Morrissey with special guests Alice Cooper and Kristeen Young

Mozzer: "For fucks sake Alice, I'm covered in blood!"
The Coop: "Ah, what ya complainin' about, it's not like any of it went in your mouth! Ha ha! I'm off to play some golf!"

never hit on Moz's increasing resemblance to a plumper old Boris Karloff

When he was at my friend's private view last summer, my thoughts were: love child of Tony Hancock and Gordon Brown.

November Spawned a Frankenstein's Monster

Stolen from a friend on FB: 'Mistletoe and Whine'.

Mozz smothers lady gaga with eyebrows onstage

praying to God that Oboe Concerto is a song that ends up being his incontestable masterpiece, crowning his career in glory, and everybody has to say "that Morrissey, he's a racist piece of shit and he tended to pad his albums with some of the most forgettable filler ever known, but 'Oboe Concerto' is a solid jam and nobody can really deny that"

Oh God I just laughed so hard at that.

Is it time for 'ILX pre-covers Morrissey'?

i'm already ready to say this.

except for the "forgettable filler" part, you heretic!

Is it time for 'ILX pre-covers Morrissey'?

...you have the right idea. Hold on.

Okay, contributors welcome as of now:

ILX Pre-Covers Morrissey's "World Peace Is None Of Your Business"

Cool bonus track for the Japanese edition

If you read the nearly released Sex Criminals collection by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky, there's a rather amusing cameo in silhouette of "an English crooner" named, get this, "Esteban."

Is his surname "Buttez" ?

Only in the earlier drafts

That looks quite an eccentric fabric.

I mean, lol

Having been to said venue numerous times, it's not THAT much of a deal. Two separate stages within the same building, in separate rooms, though you do go along the side of one (where Paws were) to get to the other. Moz just had a cow, in today's lack of surprise.

lol @ bedtime zing

is the barclays centre cliff richard show not sold out? it's being advertised on bus stops and phone booths

"After thwarting a couple creepy attempts by fans to mount him like a steed..."
