Okay, I shall take back that statement about *getting a room*- he's got someone in his life anyway, and I was just angry about this attention he gives Julia. I have sat in muddy fields, pushed my way through throngs of strong frat boys, and all for naught. I have been thrown up on, trampled, (which is hard considering my height.) had all sorts of uncomfortable things occur happen while seeing Morrissey. Yes, he should completely stop this name checking, and I personally think he was doing it to make her feel better about those t shirts that someone was making (Julia Takes It Up The Arse) - and yes, I requested one, but I was joking. I mean, where ELSE could I wear it, besides a Morrissey show? No, I wouldn't stoop that low. I can count on my fingers the times I have been lucky (guess I wasn't ruthless enough) to see him since 1984. But it wasn't as nasty as it is now. Fans were a little more peaceful back then, at least it seemed to me, because it was the *start* of a brilliant time period. No one seemed to know what to make of Morrissey then, (well, here) so no pushing to the front like a tidal wave, no vomit on sweaters, nothing like that. My friend who went to the second Philly show, was totally distraught because she said Moz was talking ONLY to Julia and seemed to be singing just for HER. Of COURSE I am envious of her wealth. I am on disability for being epileptic (make all the jokes you want, ANYONE) and have my small book business. ( make all the jokes you want, I've heard them ALL. I wouldn't wish epilepsy on ANYONE, believe me.) I have heard many urban legends about Julia, that she sleeps outside in dangerous parts of the city he plays in as a ritual of some sort, and I still believe she has anorexia as I did in the early 80's or something worse. Back then, I would drink a cup of coffee, with Splenda, eat a granola bar, go to work loading heavy books and shelving them, and running around the store I was working in (Crown Books, now happily defunct) and for lunch I'd drink two Diet Cokes. When I came limping home at night, I'd have a bowl of tomato soup, two or three crackers, and that was IT. I kept this up for a whole f***ing year, and my body rebelled. I became so thin I couldn't sit down because it hurt my tailbone. I also started losing hair, growing light hair on my arms, and face ( I've forgotten the term for it ) and did not have a period for months. I hope she does not have cancer or any other life threatening disease. I just get a bit insulted and pissed off because Moz pays SO much attention to her. I mean, we love him too! And why should he be chatting with her between songs? It's not the Morrissey and Julia show, it's MORRISSEY. I am saying, if I had the resources, I would certainly see him as much as I could - not as much as Julia, but close. Her feelings toward him are almost stalker like. Well, they have some sort of *understanding* that we will never know about, and life is too short to care. For the record, YES, I am envious of her carte blanche to see Moz whenever she wants, wherever he IS, and the namechecking should stop. It's insulting to the other fans out there- Yes, Morrissey, you have MANY other people out there in the arenas you play who admire you just as much, and you should be glad you have us. For the record, to end this stupid thing, I do not HATE her- but yes, I will say I am envious. Quite a normal emotion to feel in the light of things, don't you think?
