Just how does Morrissey intend to perform the blues? I'm not saying I'm against it (though I'm not a blues fan myself.) I just can't picture it. And if he's singing his own tunes, why is he doing it at a blues programme?

"He drew a swollow, deep and blue" and "So don't let the blue, the blue eyes fool you" are the only times I think I've ever heard Morrissey sing about 'blue'. But of course he was singing about the colour, not his mood.

This just seems a little odd to me. Could there be a blues singer out there with the last name Morrissey?

Truer Poetry

With the demise of Lollapalooza, you've got to wonder if Morrissey is going to axe Chicago, too. Look at the tour as it is now constituted. He's got gigs in Manchester and Reading with Chicago and no other North American shows in the middle.

Son-of-a-fratboy! I could get transportation there. But, I'm not applying for an American Express card (which would undoubtedly be denied, anyway) just so I can see Morrissey in concert. *mutters in an annoyed manner for the next three weeks*

What about Toronto? If he does schedule a date, I think I might have to violenty dry hump his leg in an expression of gratitude. I would be that excited...really.

The show in Scotland the 31th August is in Edinburgh and not in Glasgow.

Best regards.

I wonder if Morrissey had a credit card, living in a bedsit in manchester on the dole. What bollocks man, 'kin credit corporations.

I'm so excited to hear this!
The HOB here in Chicago is a great place to see a show.
It's about time Morrissey comes back to Chicago (it's great to see he doesn't only play in California!)
    Let's only hope he doesn't cancel.

"And oh, the sickening greed...!"

If anyone seriously wants to go to this show but doesn't have a way of getting tickets, I'd consider buying some and selling them back at face value plus whatever it costs to ship it however you want (which would still be less than ticketmaster anyway!)

I can't make it to the show, myself, but, I feel bad that the reason that some people might not be able to go is poor credit... cause, that's just shit.

I just cancelled my blue card last week. Screw you AMEX!

I mean if Ticketmaster accepts other credit cards normally, can they say, "oh for this one we only accect AMEX"?

Sounds fishy to me.

because this is the date Lallapalooza at Shore Line (California) was supposed to play...the one I had tix for....4th row center even.

There is something smelly going on here.

I've been waiting an eternity to see Morrissey in person and when he finally plans a concert in my hometown, I miss the age requirement by three years. I hope he keeps Chicago in mind for future tours.

I just got of the phone with a ticketmaster sales rep. "Mary".
Mary kindly explained to me that ticketaster will be accepting ALL major credit cards for this show.

good day to all.

I know how most Moz fans feel about gratuitous swearing, but fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK! I found out about the Chicago show last night and was extremely excited, only to come here this morning and discover it's 21 and over. I don't turn 21 until November. I feel like crying. I need to get a fake id pronto, because there's no way I'm missing this show. Devastating.

Next week: Cleethorpes Burger King.

As someone else said, oh, the sickening greed.

As somebody has already asked in here, did HE have a AMEX card when he was living on benefits in a dreary bedsit in Whalley Range with Linder Sterling?

Moz could learn a lesson or two from Linder. She performed brilliantly at the RFH the other night. She was grace, elegance and sophistication personified. Her stunning youthful appearance belied her 50 years. Unlike her old flatmate up in the corporate box, who was sucking on a beer bottle like a rapidly aging street lush throughout the evening.

Morrissey really is turning into a smug, complacent, self-satisified git. Most of his fans are dolees, students, OAP's, physically disabled, working poor and he imposes this corporate bullshit on them. Shame on him the smug bastard!

If sickly Smugness is what he becomes when he has a hit album, then long live the days when he was a 'non hit' wonder'.

He'll never know how cool he was when 'Malajusted' flopped.

sometime back I read that he wasn't going to play the Los Angeles Lallapalooza show because he was going to do a different show in LA.

So with Lalla...kaput, I think he will be doing more shows...but what do I know.

I spoke to someone and he told me they would only be accepting American Express. I kept pestering him until he offered me a supervisor. This person also told me it would be AMEX only. They kept saying something about Billy Joel's 'Moving Out' only accepting Visa. So you MUST purchase with a theiving AMEX.

My idea is to bother ticketmaster about this. Even if you're not going to the show, phone customer service and COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN. Companies think they can do this because people just take it. Go to ticketmaster.com and look up the number and call them and don't be afraid to escalate the call. We know the force of Morrissey fans, but do they?
Remember tickets are on sale Sunday. We've only got 3 days to voice our disgust with this.

where do you buy your clothes? your music? where do you work? i'm sick of all this fair-weather friend stuff with corporations. so what AMEX sponsors the show? the man's got to make a living, and he almost never plays the midwest, so AMEX gives him the chance to and at a great venue, at that. besides, look at who the show benefits (besides just moz fans like myself)...they are raising money for music programs in chicago schools. if you all had AMEX cards (like i do) you wouldn't be bitching. and who says all his fans have bad credit? most of us i know are succesful twenty-somethings with style (myself included) and are ecstatic to see moz here in our beautiful city.
also, who do you think sponsored "top of the pops" and all those shows the smiths appeared on? who do you think sponsors lollapalooza? i didn't see any whining about all that...because you had tickets.
anyway, i got my tickets today, and i'll have an awesome time on the 17th. cheers.

Alright, I work stupid hours at a stupid job and the show was sold out before I even got a chance. Anyone know how I might go about finding some tix or know anyone who has one or two extra they might be willing to part with?
