So here is just a brief summary: Morrissey toured for three months in 2002 beginning in August. The tour covered the western US, Japan, UK, France, Ireland, Australia, Denmark, Sweden and Greece (coverage: , MorrisseyTour, Mrs. Shankly's mp3/video of the week, Morrissey-solo). It was a tremendously successful tour, I heard many long-time concert-goers and new fans alike say these were some of the best concerts they had ever seen. The tour got off to a rough start (something to do with processing work permits) - the first six tour dates had to be rescheduled and the Canadian dates cancelled. Once it got going it seemed to just keep going, with new dates continuously being added along the way. Morrissey did several interviews, including "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn" (coverage) and "The Janice Long Show" (coverage). There were no new releases this year, although 5 new songs were played during the tour. Morrissey stated in an interview with the Glasgow Herald that he has one, maybe two albums ready to go but he has not been offered any worthwhile record deals. "At the moment, there is nothing I can do about it. I must wait, and unfortunately, that wait is developing into a long time." Three books were released, "The Smiths and Beyond" by Kevin Cummins (Mar. 7, 2002), "Morrissey's Manchester" by Phill Gatenby (May 20, 2002) and "The Smiths - Songs That Saved Your Life" by Simon Goddard (Dec. 6, 2002). A documentary was broadcast on ITV - "These Things Take Time - The Story Of The Smiths" (Nov. 8, 2002). For 2003, a tour and record deal/album release are rumored. Sanctuary was rumored to have signed Morrissey many times during this past year and the rumors will likely continue until a record label is announced.

Lets try to remember the contribution that David T, and those who run the other sites have made to all of our pleasure, and most of all make a New Year's resolution *not* to bitch about each other.

but i'm looking forward to next year. i like stories. i don't care if they're real or not, or if i can get to any of the shows or whatnot. fake rumors that don't pan out into anything about him are still more interesting than most stuff i read all day. what's this war crap? i don't care anymore. at least you can still get your hopes up about a record deal after the 25th time they've refuted that rumor. he's breathing and still has a pulse. that's good enough for me. i've lost any position that i've had in demanding anything. i played his new songs while at work until my ears bled, and this comes from a woman who is dingy enough that she lost what is supposedly his snail mail address! consider the source, will you? this is my year in pictures.
