I just saw a pre-production copy of the ClearChannel ad for five upcoming shows at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. The dates are May 3, 4, 6, 7 & 8. Tickets go on sale Saturday, April 3 at noon. This is great news for New York area Moz fans. The show is billed as "Morrissey In Person." I hope the lads show up as well!

                              Morrissey is finally acknowledging his roots. Not many people are aware but I am pretty positive he does have some colored blood. Maybe Morrissey will belt out a couple of R&B/Soul classics like I'm A Soul Man! Remember The Moz-man is now affiliated with a label that was known for reggae music. This choice of venue and record label make it quite clear that Morrissey is indeed partially of African descent. Get Down Brother!!!

                              And it's easily one of the best venues for intimate concerts in the city-- saw the Strokes there and it was AMAZING, as well as a number of other good shows. The acoustics are nutso, and there's tons of seating.

                              The shows are going to be simply amazing... and don't doubt that they will sell out. I have friends from France who want me to get them tix!

                              It's just that the Apollo is known for it's weekely all-black variety show which is very...humorous when put next to someone as stiff and British as Morrissey. It could almost be a dumb sitcom or something.

                                            and sure, The Apollo seems a tad unusual for a Morrissey show, but it does have a rich history and cultural significance, so why not?
