    Default Trivia of the day part 3

    Today is the 20th anniversary of Morrissey's Budokan gig.

    27th August 1991 Fukuoka Sun Palace gig was his first ever gig in Japan.
    Audience broke too many chairs which resulted £25000 worth damage.
    Because of that earlier incident, I and other 5000 people were forced to see the gig in barriers.

    The following day at Yokohama Arena I met Kevin Cummins who was taking photos of fans.
    The venue's seating was awful, even thought I got the first row centre ticket, the gap between stage and my seat was about 20 metres.
    Morrissey threw his gold lame shirt at me twice. Second time I managed to catch it with my flowers, but an arrogant git on my left stole it from me.

    After my protest his girlfriend finally agreed to return the shirt to me. Although I didn't want to give them a piece, I reluctantly did.
    I hope the arrogant git was unable to escape from a bad karma.

    Thanks for the fun-fact. I would have never given them a piece.

    You sound a right barrel of laughs.
    Is this really trivia, or just 'stuff that happened once'?

    Yesterday one of my colleagues said that she found out that she shared the same birthday with google.

    Yep, morrissey-solo.com is slightly older than google.

    oh you mean a picture that he posted in chat over and over again years ago, when you two were having your little war?
    sorry to let you down dear, but the only confirmation that it was you was you freaking out over it
    and for the record, while others when to great lengths to attack how you looked, my one comment was that you were not bad looking

    I didn't know Eva Green's father Walter Green played Jacques in Robert Bresson's masterpiece Au Hasard Balthazar.

    Au Hasard Balthazar is one of my favourite films and her mother Marlene Jobert is one of my favourite French actresses.

    Japanese film distributors didn't know the fact, they translated Green in English pronunciation, not in Swedish.

    I learned tonight that police are called cops because their badges used to be made of copper.
