I feel like posting a journal entry, but honestly, everything I want to say, I'd rather not.
I will scratch the surface, though, and say that I am very pleased that Morrissey is coming to Greenville, SC to play - otherwise, I would have missed out on this part of the tour. I was at the House of Blues show on July 21 at Myrtle Beach, and he blew my mind. After a solid 10 years of not seeing Morrissey play live, I was in a state of Moz Bliss. Moz Bliss?? Maybe I should take that on as an A.K.A? Anyway, he was very chatty at the show and I remember thinking how wonderful it was to hear him talk between songs. I remember back in the day when he really didn't say much at all. The back drop was a huge plus for me as I've been a Dean fan longer than I've been a Morrissey fan, and the JD dress rehearsal video on the screen before the show put me in tears before Morrissey even took the stage...so I was already an emotional wreck! I also finally saw Julia as well at that show. I didn't speak to her because...well, I didn't know what to say? One girl asked Julia if she could have her picture taken with her. Julia agreed and flashed this huge smile. I remember that smile VERY well. I've read about Julia for a long time now, but I never really knew what she looked like or, well, anything about her at all. She seems very nice and was open to a lot of the people around her. I, like a lot of people (I guess), used to feel a twist in my stomach when she got so much attention from Morrissey, but I don't anymore. I admire her. She has the means to follow him around and she knows him on some level and that's great. If I could afford to do what she does, I'd probably do it, too. After all, he did pretty much get me through my adolescence and my early twenties as well. Now that I'm OLDER...ha...I can identify with him on a new level. So, who am I to judge Julia?
It would be really awesome for ME if Morrissey played "Hand In Glove" at the Greenville, SC show, but I know it won't happen. The set list is near perfection anyway, so I shouldn't complain. Years ago when I joined this site I couldn't think of a screen name, so I picked my favorite Smiths song. That was...6 or 7 years ago??? Wow...where did all the time go?
Today, as anyone who has a calender knows, is September 30th...for James Dean fans that day means something. So, if you're a JD fan take a moment of silence sometime today or tonight to remember the one who paved the way for so many great people...including the one we celebrate here.
