        Is he even making money on this tour? (Score:0)
        I can't believe all of the places he is touring. Though it's cool that he is going to different countries, I don't see how he is making any money on this tour. Did the CD even sell in Iceland? His travil expences have to be in the hundreds-of-thousands by now and I know Attack isn't paying the bill. I don't think Moz is making anything on this tour.

              its quite a long flight from the mainland of uk / europe so im quite surprised hes going there for one gig, shifting all that stuff, its not exactly over the border - and the country has a population similar to the size one of the smaller cities in the u.k. (eg) Bath.
              i cant imagine how many of the 200,000 population of the whole country could be mozz fans.
              -as long as hes happy-. maybe hes visiting bjork.
              or emiliana torrini. now thats worth checking out.

                    Nellie McKay, a vegan singer and Broadway actress, also recently joined the Canadian tourism boycott, refusing to perform there until the hunt is ended.

                    There is a long-standing boycott in place, and other artists have joined it. It may seem ineffective and silly, but Morrissey is not making it up, nor is he the only artist to make a public statement.

                    I wonder if McKay's statement was greeted with such cynicism. More likely, everyone yawned - which is the difference between iconic greatness and principled youth.

                    Those poor marine mammals, they just can't get a break.

                    I wouldn't book any flights just yet, Moz fans. It's not like this hasn't happened before, that a show was "cancelled" when in fact the show was never to take place at all!

                          Don't knock Sami, he bowled Alastair Cook just when England were looking to really press on with their innings this morning.

                          Ok, so he didn't stop them getting over 500, but in the absence of Shoaib Akhtar, he's Pakistan's main strike bowler, and all this constant sniping can only be undermining his confidence, so give it a break - we all want to see an evenly contested Test series, don't we?
