Early April 2002, I Won? An Essay Contest w/ This Submission
“Oh, To See More of Morrissey”
Imagine a day with Morrissey…wow! This man has affected my life more than any other human being on earth-including Jesus Christ (God), My family, and women. Well, you get the picture; he’s very important to me. Do I dare hope? In the movie ‘Shawshank Redemption’, it was stated “Hope is a dangerous thing…” Now, I’ve stood outside Morrissey’s home wondering what it would be like to sit and have tea with him, to just talk. I attend his concerts, watching him so closely I forget to breathe. What will it be like to spend an entire day with him? It will be overwhelmingly divine, even, a dream come true. I’ve dreamt so many times about this that it's very vivid in my memory. (Cue the dream sequence music…)
At first glance, I’m sure my heart will throb as it always does when I see Morrissey in the flesh. After a brief hug and an introduction, I will escort him to a very lush white BMW that I borrow from one of my best friends. I will then open Morrissey’s door and close it behind him (As if he were royalty, which in my humble opinion, he is). This might sound like we are going on a date, but nay, I am a heterosexual (if I can be discribed as that, and I must say...) so alas, it will NOT be a date.
We will leave his house at approximately 7:10am. At this point, we proceed to drive to Crystal Cove near Laguna Beach. We will eat a vegetarian breakfast that I prepare, while I am not a vegetarian, I'm always respectful of the wishes of my guest. Breakfast will consist mostly of croissants, fruits and juices arranged in magnificent opulence. Morrissey & I will talk and get to know each other, you know, break the ice and what not. I will ask some burning questions of him and if he chooses to divulge the answers, I will NEVER TELL anyone what he said! As morning passes, we pack up our little picnic/breakfast and off we stride to an unknown offbeat coffeehouse in Los Angeles. I will make sure that the coffeehouse serves Morrissey’s specific brand of tea as well as a surprise, albiet a nightmare of a surprise, but nevertheless which will have been made by prior arrangement.
At this time, I will take a few sips of my tea and begin an impromptu performance (the surprise which I spoke of earlier). I will definitely play him my version of, “I KNOW VERY WELL HOW I GOT MY NAME”; also, I will play some songs that I personally wrote. I’d probably play, “IF LOVE IS A RED DRESS (HANG ME IN RAGS)” by Maria McKee because I think of him every time I play/hear that song. After we finish our coffee or tea and possibly have a brief sing along, we will go to get some lunch.
In Los Angeles, I suppose I’ll be quite tacky and escort him to the Hard Rock Café. The intention of doing this is simply... 1.) I want to be seen with him and 2.) I will correct something that has bugged me for quite some time; I will put the album “Vauxhall & I” up on the wall, preferably covering something dreadful, such as Aerosmith. When we finish our lunch, and set the record straight (pardon the pun), we will then load back up into the lovely BMW, which I borrowed, “where the leather runs smooth on the passenger’s seat.”
As we return to Morrissey’s place, if he doesn’t mind, we will spend the afternoon watching a movie of his choice. Maybe something like, “The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner” or, “East of Eden”. This is done over a bottle of the finest wine or vodka, again, of His choice. As the sun begins to set on Sunset Boulevard, we will have dinner that Morrissey himself prepares. How imposing of me. After dinner, I make a mad dash to the exit, unless Morrissey has something else in mind, like a night on the town?
Sadly though, knowing Morrissey, he may want to turn in early, I'm sure his patience would've been exhausted. Long day, you know… At last, while we stand in the doorway and say our good-byes, I will shake his hand oh so politely and drive off into the night saddled in my friend’s precious white BMW. (End dream sequence music here…) If only… I’d be so happy. You see, it’s not important what you’re like, but what you like. I like Morrissey and I would love to see more of him. They say “hope is a dangerous thing…and it can drive a man insane…” But a day or a dream like this is worth the risk.
