But backdrop during performance does not fit in "old lady" explanation.

Yep, it's generally good practice to check these sort of things first, I find.

Now please tell me that "Our Frank" is about Frank Sinatra? Right?
According to the backdrop...

To put a joke aside,
there is always something in most of his lyrics that is deeper and hidden.
I am trying to explain to myself, and I just refuse to acknowledge that he could wrote such direct lyrics in a moment like this... without any hidden meaning if you know what I mean...

But on the other hand, he was always controversial in his own way.
Just remember "Margaret on a guillotine", "Sorrow will come in the end" etc.
But is not 1988 or 1997 anymore...

I

Do they not sell them in the foyer when you go in? I had to elbow my way to the front of the que to get mine.

I don't know. I last saw him in Leeds in 2018 (I think it was 2018) and they weren't on sale then. Before that my only experience was them being sold in limited numbers before the end of the show but they weren't readily available beforehand so you had to queue through the gig. However I have seen them on display in more recent merch stand photos so guess you can just buy them beforehand, unsure as to how many copies there are available though.

Notre Dame is great, it’s oddly reminiscent of Do You Think I’m Sexy?

Even better!

 

[Crisstti]

Does he mean "ha ha" because the queen is actually dead now?

Sure seems like it! So much for him not hating the monarchy so much anymore I guess lol

"When will they ever learn?"

I like that he sings it its the only way to say things that you cant say normally, the only other way is comedy. Also you don't know weither 'they ' mean the french protestors or the french goverment or

Obscure (to me) journal US Post Times has pulled together a piece about fans' surprise on learning Robbie Keane's related to Morrissey

Fans only just realising cousin of ex-Celtic star Robbie Keane’s a music LEGEND as he wears his team shirt - USTimesPost

FOOTBALL fans have been shaken by the discovery that former Celtic star Robbie Keane is the cousin of indie pop legend Morrissey.

Has anyone encountered Tinnitus after the show? That is ringing sounds in the ears.
I have it for over a month now :-(
Was not too close to the speakers.

Never, after hundreds of gigs and never wearing earplugs. You should definitely get yourself to the doctors a.s.a.p if you have ringing in your ears, as something is very wrong.
