Dear Morrissey . . .

Yeah, it was so sad! He stuggled through about five songs and then blamed his cracking voice on Letterman's cold studio. Oh well, if he was sick, he was sick. But still . . . at least they said they'd honor the tickets.

Oh dear E! :(

Moz pulled a trick like this the (only?) time he toured Aus in the early 90s. said it was illness, left the country after only 1 show i think?

Hmmm, he did this in San Diego a few weeks ago too. I was not in attendance, but rumors attributed his early departure to overly intense security. I think he just likes making excuses.

The last time I saw him do this it was in New York and it was because of overly intense security too. He was mad at the bouncers and stormed off stage because of it. Tonight I honesly think he was ill because his voice was so bad but it's just my luck. Oh well, hopefully he'll come back soon.

i was hoping this thred would finish with "...you're a twat".

oh god nooooooo :( I hope he gets better before he comes here! So sorry ENBB, you know I'd send Morrissey back your way for a second round if I could ;_;

I went to see the Bunnymen last summer and Ian was v. sick, but he managed to pull off a whole show without a hitch. Seemed pretty ill afterwards though, was rushed straight to the bus.

Thats because Mac is a SHOWMAN man!

I would love to see the Bunneymen. Am seeing the Furs next month, hopefully Richard will be ok.

Bunny - whoops.

So many of my 80s heroes I never got to see ;_;

Damn you, Cocteau Twins!

Still, got to see the Buzzcocks so I cant grumble :)

i had a dream last night that i went and saw a fall gig. mark e smith beat the shit out of someone in the audience with his mic stand and left after one song. it was awesome!

'dream'

did you fall out of bed twice?

See, even I resisted posting that. Though I thought it.

Oh Curtispaws.

Curious, how much were the tickets?

Moz pulled a trick like this the (only?) time he toured Aus in the early 90s. said it was illness, left the country after only 1 show i think?

Yep, played Brisbane, left the country while his crew were setting up Sydney the next arvo. He came back though, played Livid 12 years later in the car park outside where he'd been s'posed to play in '91. Was 45 minutes late for an hour and a quarter set. YAY.

It's a difficult time, what with the flooding keeping him at his other job to all hours, the new house in nunhead, with the shonky windows and no furniture, cut the man some slack.

Dearest Erica-

You knew I'd do this to you

-Moz

MozMacro suggestion:

I started you a show
(sad cat)
I couldn't finish

Hahaha :D

Dear Moz,

On the day when your vocality
decides
to catch up with your biology
Come 'round

That sucks, ENBB. :(

He sounds like a diva.

Nah, it's all about the dodgy windows, he should just call safestyle and be done with it.

That's odd, I saw him at Orpheum in 2004 and he played for over two hours and was great.

Oh yeah, I saw him at Reading Festival, 2 years ago. yep, fraid so.

I have seen him play a full show before but that was also 11 years ago. He genuinely sounded sick last night. I guess I just have bad luck when it comes to seeing him live.

Dear Morrissey,

I've seen your post to me up there ^^. Stop rubbing it in, will ya? What did I ever do to you to make you hate me so.

~ E

Dear StanM and MWhite,

Thank you. Your posts made me smile,

E

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?

http://www.morrissey-solo.com/article.pl?sid=07/06/27/0549253

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.

like really prosaic pop-punk played slowly with a crooner on top

Last time I saw anyone directly Moz-associated (other than Mr. Marr earlier this year, natch) was Alain Whyte's band in the mid-2000s -- nice performance and did a very good version of what was probably Morrissey's last great B-side, "The Edges Are No Longer Parallel."

his band is basically boz and a bunch of LA session dudes

Boz got demoted from bandleader to session dude shortlyish after Jesse Tobias came on board aiui

just looked up the current band and the bassist was previously in the long-running '00s Breeders lineup

The band's got better, but Moz is worse (apart from being a fascist I mean - he's got better at that). His singing is strong but unbearably hammy nowadays. You see this list of songs and you can hear them coming out of that mouth already. Not appealing to me.

it's over is my favourite roy orbison song and mildly, grimly curious to hear the animal-loving, white nationalist crooner tackle it

Kind of shat it from some of the harder notes

Is it as good as the Michael Caine version?

on his last few records, his voice is being electronically treated somehow in a way i find disconcerting.

Yeah this does sound autotuned or whatnot

it's one of those things that drives me crazy when other people don't notice it. they're like, "no, his voice sounds fine" when it's obviously (to me) being manipulated in little ways that play with the grain of it. same w/ some of those late merle haggard records -- almost nobody else (that i can find) seems to recognize how much his voice was being treated.

About as worthwhile as his recent version of I Never Promised You A Rose Garden.

Really can't stand his voice nowadays.

i kind of liked this. not enough to buy this album but it was better than I expected it to be. I still like to pretend he died right after Vauxhall and I.

what a piece of shit

Dear Morrissey.

Is there any particular reason why you don't sod off?

https://www.morrisseycentral.com/messagesfrommorrissey/234417-the-interview

Interviewed by his nephew, he uses the word 'vinyls'

damn he's definitely cancelled now

oh racist uncle steven, what are you like?

racism's quite a drug, steven

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/morrissey-protesters-portland-oregon/

kind of relieved that the link doesn't work for me

The protesters had two signs, one which said: “Bigmouth Indeed” and the other which seemed to have some sort of ‘cancelled’ trident, both one would imagine meant for protesting against Moz’s recent spate of far-right rhetoric which has seen him divide his fans while supporting political party For Britain.

pity the article was written by absolute morons. one would imagine that, yes, since the trident is the symbol of For Britain you morons

#cancelledtrident

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.

Wonder if he could do me a Fear of a Black Planet

https://frinkiac.com/img/S07E21/1091139.jpg

I know his racism is obviously the biggest thing wrong with him, but that his taste calcified when he was 16 and he still runs around big-upping the same artists he loved when he was a kid is so irksome -- his conservative ideology pervades his aesthetics

yeah it's pretty bizarre

yeah so strange *hastily turns Cure t-shirt inside out*

Tsk. Er wait.

the funniest thing about that is that it's $100 more albums by better artists signed by him (his own albums are only $200).

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.

Is that for real or Twitter satire?

i'm not an expert but i would speculate that the Wu won't be playing at this

wait was that for real or Tom D. satire?

Lol. I just glanced at it tbh.
