Dear Morrissey . . .

is this where we all sing "You just haven't earned it yet, baybie..."?

don't forget the posts that made you smile, and the Moz that made cry

Oh, was Boston last night? He's been a trooper on this latest American tour circuit so far (no cancelled dates!) but there have been problems, as listed above. He's been touring for like two years straight--I think he really needs to take a break, but not before coming to Baltimore, please. Sorry, ENBB :(

Yeah, I was right miffed when he pulled out of Glastonbury '92 at the very last second (cue "Where's My Morrissey" t-shirts making their appearence around the site). In his place we got James singing "We Hate it When Our Friends Become Successful".

The times I've been to see him subsequently he's showed and played the full ticket, so hey.

Ah fuck (Northhampton/Philly "postponed")--will my East Coast Moz reunion dreams be dashed?

Yeah, Boston was last night. I just hope he does return later this summer but with my luck it'll be when I'm in England for 10 days next month.

Come and drink with us.

shit :(

i've never been to a morrissey show, but he left the stage at a smiths show i went to in '86. best part was the band continuing on instrumental - great

Stop rubbing it in, will ya? What did I ever do to you to make you hate me so.

Empire wastes are bad, ppl. Let this be a lesson to you all. This madness must end.

The two Smiths shows I saw, he was great.

lol u are old.

Come and drink with us.

I'd love to but sadly we're only going to be in Coventry and Liverpool during this visit!

:(

there is nothing 'funny' to say about this guys.

seriously though, im genuinely bummed out by this, enbb!

2 July 2007

Following the postponement due to illness of several shows last week, we are delighted to announce that Morrissey's U.S. tour will recommence tonight at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va. Morrissey was suffering with a viral infection that brought his show in Boston at the Bank Of America Pavilion to a halt after seven songs last Tuesday the 26th of June. . . . The Boston show has been successfully rescheduled for this Saturday the 7th of July, and all tickets from the original date will be honored.

Yay? I'll believe it when I'm happily leaving a fantastic show late Saturday night.

Awesome!

:)

Will you be wearing the MozTop(tm) again? :-)

Hahaha. I don't know, probably not. We shall see.

Oops, he did it again. B'more cancelled. Now I'm all dressed up and no place to go. Caught most of the show last nite in Wolf Trap--he seemed in a really good mood, but he seemed to cut out early--after a 1 song encore. Cross fingers for Boston!

WAIT WHAT??!?!??!?!?!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking back, I think maybe the reason he was in such a good mood was because he was souped up on meds. He was loopy, and when the band huddled arms to take their bow, he didn't come up again for an uncomfortably long time, until Mikey (I think) broke the huddle.

A tribute band is scheduled to play for free tonight at the venue in his stead--maybe he will watch?

Did he redeem himself, Boston?

Yes!!! In fact, it was incredible. He came out dressed in a tux and really gave it his all. We're still in awe of how great it was. For the last couple songs we snuck up front and were two rows from the stage. It was amazing.

Erica-

I'm glad you enjoyed the show.

Yours,

-Morrissey

ps- tux was a rental

awww... moz you're such a darlin'... my best mate wants to have your babies...

Rubyred-

Erm...

-Morrissey

she's pretty hot.

Awesome, so you got 6 extra songs for free. Also, well done for sneaking up front. It's the only place to be. I saw a pic of the tux tho, and I was wondering, is it possible it was just a regular suit mixed with a tuxedo shirt & bow tie? That ol' sartorialist.

Definitely. By the time we got upfront and therfore close enough to see, he'd already changed his shirt twice. Also, he only did a one song encore Sat night too so you didn't miss out on anything!

[begin slightly creepy bit] After the show we went out dancing and ended up meeting someone who'd been at the show. It was his 92nd Morrissey (!!) show and he'd managed to get a piece of one of the shirts M through in the audience. In a drunken state, he made me smell said bit of shirt and I am happy to report that whatever cologne Morrissey wears smells amazing. [/slightly creepy bit]

:D

Woah!

Whatever Moz wears smells amazing I imagine, but it may have been this

even it wasn't, that scent seems pretty cool, by the description.

x-post: Power of ILX, once again.

24 HOURS AND I WILL BE IN THIS MAN'S PANTS (OR JUST WATCHING HIM ONSTAGE)

Hahaha =D

My sis is heading to the ATL show tomorrow. I'm not feeling too terribly envious. The only song I'll really regret missing is Life is a Pigsty.

48 for me, god willing.

x-post

the set seemed short! And we were sitting way in the back ;_; It was AWESOME, though!!

Morrissey: "Thank you, what's this?"
Man in front row: "It's a scrapbook of the last twenty years!"
Morrissey: "..Of you, or of me?"
Man in front row: "Of us!"
Morrissey: "...Fabulous."

Hahaha, nice.

he also pulled a young girl onstage briefly and said "This is my daughter." Still can't figure out if he was joking or not, but I can't find any buzz about it anywhere so I'm presuming I just missed a wink or something.

My sister left a message all giddy and said she held his hand three times, hmm maybe it was my sister on stage! Word is Pigsty and National Front Disco were on the setlist but were scrapped u_u

Curis-

She's my flesh and blood. I had a torrid three day affair with her mother after a particularly memorable stay in Albuquerque some years back.

Regards,

Morrissey

Morrissey came!

Dear ILX Morrissey,

I think I love you.

Erica

Erica, my dear-

You have always kept the faith.

Thank you for this.

Yours,

Morrissey

Word is Pigsty and National Front Disco were on the setlist but were scrapped u_u

:( He played ~17 songs plus a 1-song encore and then left. He was touching a lot of people's hands though! Wish I'd been up front :/

Myrtle Beach was off the hook. Sigh. No more shows for me.

Oh, you went to Murder Beach, too? I'm sorry I missed you!

I was up front on the Mikey Farrell side. Flew in at 9 am on the red eye from SoCal after pulling two consecutive 12.5 hour clicnicals. It was worth it. Except Moz was kind of a dick to me.

Here's what I wrote to a list about the incident:

I felt things were going swimmingly until Moz handed me the mic again and pwned me a little past the set midpoint. At first, while he was standing in the center, he looked over towards me and squinted a lot, trying to read my shirt.

http://www2.gol.com/users/melemail/stuff/greatesttits.jpg

I think this was during a song. After it, he came
over and stared down at my chest and face. He leaned in and asked, "Do you still see Charles?" and gave me the mic. I answered, "Yes, I ran into him a couple of weeks ago. Didn't he tell you?" Moz took back the mic and responded, "Why should he?" and then HANDED the mic BACK to me. If it were simply rhetorical, he should've just kept the mic.

I began to answer, but before I could get four words out, he became impatient, made tapping gestures on his imaginary wristwatch. So I said, "I'm sorry" and handed the mic back to him. He proceeded to mock me as he is wont to do saying "See, you give someone the spotlight and they go blah blah blah." Bastard. Then I yelled at him, "Well, you asked for it!"

At least Moz didn't fall down in mock agony and the stagehands didn't come out and try to pull the mic cord away from me the way they did to a girl on the opposite side of the stage who told her tale of woe of how
she had to come to Myrtle Beach to get more of Moz because she only got 4 songs at the Hollywood Bowl due to being stuck in traffic. Moz is very impatient: Five seconds (1 sentence) seems to be the max time
allowed for an answer.

The first time he gave me the mic, he was much nicer:

Morrissey is selling classic albums from other artists signed by him on his tour for £300 and it’s the funniest /lamest thing I’ve ever seen.

I’ll be selling signed copies of An Audience with Billy Connelly and Eddie Murphy Raw at Glasgow Comedy Fest . pic.twitter.com/9uPgtyRf0V

pmsl at this.

Personally, I believe that Morrissey's shirt was saying "Fuck...the Guardian" as in, he had just read a really good article in the Guardian.

Lol. I just glanced at it tbh.
