Well, the more common response would be a friendly wave. I don't usually bless myself when I see a group of people. Do you?

I bless every day with my rosary, along my dad's picture who died in 1999

I also like Morrissey pants chains with I guess Saints on it, well Holy people

How come John Maher looks like Liam Brown or Ian Gallagher or whatever there names are?

Johnny's good pall with them, as Dolly Parton with Nancy Sinatra, walking around in NY foot kick cap..bit strange in Venice

Looking at clips from my phone, your setlist is consistent with what I have, except Jack the Ripper was in there and The World is Full of Crashing Bores was before Everyday is Like Sunday. As far as I can tell the order was:

Suedehead/Alma Matters/Speedway/Ganglord/How Soon is Now?/Kiss Me A Lot/I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris/Istanbul/World Peace Is None of Your Business/Jack The Ripper/I Will See Your in Far Off Places/All You Need is Me/The Bullfighter Dies/Ouija Board, Ouija Board/It's Hard to Walk Tall When You're Small/The World Is Full of Crashing Bores/Everyday is like Sunday/You Have Killed Me/Meat is Murder/What She Said (encore)

Yep that seems more accurate now on reflection!

How ridiculously funny were the OH&S security rushing in to Moz everytime he went to shake someone's hand? FFS. I thinks he's done it once or twice, he's probably good at it by now.

haha I noticed that. That one guy who would rush out and basically just rub Moz's tummy or rest his hand gently on his hip. From what I could tell the gap between stage and front row looked a little wider than usual so perhaps worried because he was stretching so far. It looked like he could barely touch finger tips with the front row let alone properly hand shake. Also probably explains zero stage invaders as it looked like it would be hard to bolt up.

You need help, you, You really do. I can imagine your bedroom being full of sticky tissues, as well; you creature.

You need therapy

Thank you, that IS nice!
I wasn't always that positive and I don't have a clue why it changed.
It just did. Forgive me for being very positive again now, but you can't be sure about what happens in the future. So it wouldn't trouble you that much NOW, but the way you say it, it almost looks like a selffulfilling prophecy.

And trying to master something like finding something good in everything is almost doomed to be a failure.
You find what you find. Period.
Nothing there to have regrets about not mastering.
Cheers

Nah, I am happy to be cynical.

What a vulgar imagination you have, I think YOU'RE the one that needs the help !

No memorable times. Isn't there any new work to show?

Steven tried for so long to be famous but now it's all gone horribly wrong !
He's about as much use as a used condom these days, so surrounded in 5* luxury and yes men he lost the plot and dried up.
