Ha! To All You Nay Sayers!

Has anyone has heard of upcoming US dates, aside from the comment Morrissey he made on true-to-you (about being in St. louis was it?)
Useful info would be better than an "america is not the world" comment.

Fantastic news - GMEX is a great venue and iconic building. I'm ashamed to say I saw both Depeche Mode and Crowded House there in the mid-90s, and enjoyed both. Can't think of a better person to inaugurate it as a music venue again.

How can Morrissey stand Winnie Wong?

Sorry Moz, I will not be in attendance. Your new album does not say anything to me about my life. If your next album is a major improvement I will resume attending your concerts.

I only just managed to get a couple of tickets for the Grimsby gig (not my first choice). Any chance of you lot holding back till i get my tickets.

It seems like morrissey has no intention of ever touring the u.s. again. i hope he changes his mind.

Boz has shows lined up with The Polecats in November, so all you ugly americans will have to suffer and cry for slightly longer!! hahahaha
No more shows for yoooooouuuuuu! SUCKERS!

G-mex has the worst acoustics I've ever witnessed. I remember when The Smiths played in 1986, the echo that bounced around the building was silly at times. The place is huge though, so if you are offered seated tickets near the back, i'd consider whether or not it's worth the best part of £40.

I'm hoping that he uses the place like Ally Pally in London, with everyone standing.

You'd think at Meltdown Morrissey might have extended his repertoire and perhaps done a couple of 'by the baby grand' torch songs, covers or even duets, but no - same old same old.

Morrissey seems to be holding back a few of his Smiths classics so he can throw them into future tours, to maintain interest as his latest record receives its by-now-de-rigeur luke warm reception. Well, a thought occurs to me. If Morrissey is planning on retiring soon rather than putting out yet another borderline awful (but just listenable) midpaced rock record, why not make this a 'greatest hits' tour? ALl the unplayed gems can be pulled out, like teeth.

Rather than the bland set-list above, how about this?

1 The Teachers Are Afraid of the Pupils
2 The Operation
3 First of the Gang to Die
4 Angel
5 Handsome Devil
6 You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side
7 TLOTFIPs
8 The Boy With The Thorn
9 Dear God Please Help Me
10 Pretty Girls Make Graves
11 Last Night I Dreamt
12 Spring Heeled Jim
13 Seasick Yet Still Docked
14 self-indulgent cover version by a moderately good, though critically overlooked band
15 Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning
16 The Queen is Dead
Morrissey introduces the band using a series of sub-Whitely puns and local references
17 not a very good early solo b-side
18 Irish Blood, English Heart
encore: I Know It's Over

now wouldn't that be infinitely preferable to the dross we know he's going to play at the G-Mex?

Anyway, it's just a suggestion.

Ever yours,

Your beloved,

Broken

If, like me, you are tired of watching touts grab all the tickets? Act now.

I want all fans to get the tickets they want, and have a problem with tout scum using children to barge the queues. This time, we can put a serious spanner in the works, and it's simple.

Tickets go on sale 9am on Friday, when children should be in school. Touts give them cigs and Mcdonalds to swallow up all the tickets. This is illegal, but your average joe cop won't do anything. However, if you contact your local councils Truancy Officer, they can turn up, with police, who basically take the children, contact parents & schools to ascertain if they have genuine reasons to be away from school. If you do this, the touts will be well out of sight.
