I was wrong in my initial assessment of "The Bullfighter Dies." I wrote that it was one of three songs on the new album that I didn't like. I like it a lot now and am surprised that I missed its magic, in the beginning. I've been blasting it out of my car today and yeah, I know the joke about dudes blasting loud music out of their cars. Joke away, I don't care. It's interesting a lot of older people looked & smiled at my car today as I was blasting this song. People in their 50's, 60's, and 70's. Literally, ten to twelve people in a fifteen minute span. I had to go downtown to pay a parking ticket so there were alot of characters out & about. On the flip side some of the younger folk just looked pissed off. As I was driving toward a beautiful brunette woman in her mid-twenties, and her macho boy toy, they both wheeled around and gave me their disgusted looks of well, death. I was still about twenty feet from passing them. They cruelly stared at me the whole time I effervescently passed them by. Their collective cruel gaze made it known to me that if they could get their hands on me, they'd murder me right there in the streets. I sped off as fast as I could to nothing but smiles and pleasantry a block down. I'm guessing these older people are appreciating Morrissey's timeless vocals.That's just my guess.

-Today this song collected beautiful smiles, and two cold hard stares of deathly anger.
Maybe, if I would've been blasting "Amber Cascades" by America, that nice-looking couple would've just ignored me, instead of giving me their looks of deathly anger.
