                It didn't take a rocket scientist to work out that there was a more sympathetic approach to La Moz from the television, radio and press here in the UK as well as the almost universal name-checking he has received from every "hot" band in the world.

                All the good, good people here agreed but the usual doom merchants decided to ignore what was obvious...now we can be almost assured a number one album and a high charting single...the time is now.

                    OMG this is so amazing! I'm glad we were warned about the vinyl version - I've just ordered mine from Amazon. I can't wait for Jonathan Ross, it'll be so fantastic. I just hope he'll let the court case lie as it gets really embarrasing when he talks about it.

                    I can't help being a bit pissed off that 'our' Moz will become public property, and specifically the property of students and those little kids with the baggy jeans, hip chains and black hair who think their goths. I know I should be pleased he's finally getting the publicity and respect he deserves, I know - but I don't want to share him with the majority. I just know the people who've taken the piss all these years ('is he still alive?' etc) will turn round and sing his praises. How very sickening.

                    Ah well, still chuffed about everything and have got to get my video working!

                                              I can't believe the kind of publicity that he will be recieving, and has already recieved for this record. I'm not excited about the Lalaforloosers shows, but I'll take what I can get. I believe this to be a huge year for Morrissey. I also think that this will be the confirmation record. I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but I notice that it's become very "cool" to say that you love Morrissey over the past couple years. So I'm calling it the confirmation record, meaning it will confirm the true fans. This is the record that the fake fans get to cop out on, they get to say "yea, I don't like him so much anymore, I like the old stuff better, he's not as good". When we true fans know, that it will be right up there with everything he's already done, and may even surpass it. I'm completely excited for all of this. Let the confirmation begin.

Move here, take our money and then dog us! And what is this "your belly is too big?" Oh is that as opposed to his beloved Mexico? I mean I just couldn't help noticing most Mexicans over the age of 20 are a good 50 lbs overwieght--so did any lyrics about that fact make it into his song "Mexico?" Why is it just Americans get criticized? And why is Morrissey here if he doesn't like us? Or maybe it's just more jerk-off limousine liberal posturing to make himself fit in better with the other Beverly Hills white millionaires?

Is this the view of America he sees through the windows of his $80,000 sports car? Paid for by American fan money. This is a big slap in the face, in my view, and I certainly won't be supporting this garbage.
