KROQ aware of Moz's no-show before I.I.4 (Score:0)
KROQ made a poor attempt on capatalizing on last year's success of Inland Invasion with the flashback theme but those who noticed - this year was not very good and poorly organized. The quality was lacking. It was obvious even in their concert program. Last year's program was quite good, with artist doing write ups on their favorite artist. If you bothered to read this year's program, ick. It was published a day or two before the event with a three year staff member writing the so-called bio's or artist write-up. The side stage at Inland this year was awful! The sound system was terrible. Blown speakers from the get-go and what was simply a really bad sound arrangement. Selective artists this year did impress and were well worth attending for, but the overall production was lacking.

Morrissey sick, with a fever?
A reliable source discloses information regarding Morrissey's Hollywood Athletic Club appearance last night at the Entertainment Tonight Pre-emmy celebration, during Inland Invasion. The source, who was a DJ at the hollywood athletic club last night, saw Morrissey several times throughout the evening.

Cancellation/Make-up (Score:0)
I was entirely let down when they announced the no show, in fact when the Ian from the stone roses evened mentioned something about "he won't be here you know," my heart sunk a little as I am sure it did for most MOZ fans. Then the KROQ rep stating a no show to do illness sealed the fate. At that point my girlfriend and I almost got up and left. We hung with the shock, bought another $13 hurricane and reflected, we stuck it out.
Tears for Fears were good with their "hits" and utterly slow with newer/un-known tracks. DEVO ROCKED, as far as I am concerned they saved the day. Franz Ferdinand were also impressive. Stayed for one Billy Idol song and split, beat the crowd because we came to see the "MAN" and not many others can stand in his place, although the concert was good.
Back to my point, I do not think that Moz, even with his history of no-shows, would risk the monetary and also the public backlash just to skip out. He had over 65k people to play for and I would have to say a few thousand of them were to be "new" impressions or so called fence sitters. They know who Morrissey is "oh that Smiths guy?"
Having SF cancel as well, solidifies the deal for me. In another post a response was made the "he (MOZ) is only human'" I agree. NOW, if a make-up show is scheduled and completed, in realitively short period of time, I'll be coupasetic with the whole situation. If it does not happen, may have lost a total committed MOZ fan.
In a sense, while it is not what we all wanted, we could be getting to shows for one, with some great performances at the Saturday show, and then seeing the MAN hold a "full concert set" would be satisfying. It all rest on the promoters and MOZ's shoulders to schedule something and make it soon, or else there is going to be a whole lot if fans who have supported MOZ for a long-time ready to take another look at the man and his music and pass it to the side.
What does everyone else think?. I want to know how others at the show felt and are feeling now!

Sick or Not.... (Score:1)
Therefore, I conclude that he would not purposely cancel shows unless he suddenly had a revelation that the music business isn't worth it and now he's trying to get out. If that is the case, more power to him.
Otherwise, I conclude he really IS very sick (either physically or psychologically or both) and has working so hard to promote himself that he's not getting better (hence all the no-shows). Comebacks are stressful, and I get the impression Moz isn't the best under stress.

Sugarman: Well, i'm sorry Steve, but you're gonna be on the backburner for a while.
Morrissey: Erm, um....what do you mean?
Sugarman: I would advise that you cancel your shows and...not speak a word for the next 48 hours.
Morrissey: 48 hours, is that all? Surely you don't think this horrible uugghh *cough* condition of mine is going to go away after that. How about 72 hours? A week perhaps?
Sugarman: No, you should be fine without a single word for about 48 hours.
Morrissey: You don't seem to understand. I am in a very bad way. Shan't I wash it down with a mixture of greased tea with honey and lemon...and perhaps a hint of erm...um, bleach?
Sugarman: Okay, okay...you win. A week it is. I'm sorry.
Morrissey's Personal Assistant: (slipping doc a twenty) Well done my good man. You will be on the VIP list very soon.
No, I don't think it'll be a problem at all for Moz to go on for a couple of days without saying a word to anyone. How do you think he is with his crew? He doesn't speak to anyone even when he is healthy. A nod, a point, screaming, it's all the same for Mozzer. The only inconvenience I see for our man, is tomorrow when he decides to make a run for the Virgin Megastore or Sam Goody's...maybe Suncoast, to shop for some more DVD's. If it isn't the usual salesperson, who is already well-trained, Moz may have to write down his order on a napkin with his fountain pen. Look for that on EBAY some time soon.

Brief story for giving up on Morrissey (Score:0)
So I made a trip to California to see MOZ at the Inland Invasion.
Im not the moz stalker Julia, so I dont have tons of dollars, I have a Job and most important I have a life!!!!
Having said that, I made the trip to Cali and got there while the Killers were performing. Some more bands came out and then Ian Brown (aka Liam G) said something about Moz not performing that night, he said "If you dont want, dont believe me, but when they announce that he canceled, youll remember me" (Only for that reason I did).
Then they announced that he cancelled because he had a fever...
Im not judging him, and I believe it if they said that, eventhough I dont believe that they had just heard news from MOZ, Im sure they knew even before the day of the show, but they had to keep selling tickets in the name of Morrissey...
The most important thing is that I really dont care much of what has happened to him, I just wanted to see him perform live (even if it was to be at a huge venue, with terrible sound and thousands of people not knowing his songs) and I just couldnt.
I was not making a trip from a few miles, I travelled thousands, so if he gives a show to make it up to the Kroq listeners, I wont be there...
It´s so sad that he does that to fans, it´s just sad... But then, in the end he has just lost a few fans... For him it´s better to lose a fan than stop making money...
Sorry moz but you are turning into an old fart...
I know some people will say that I need to get over it, and stuff like that. I know that, actually Im not frustrated at all (not anymore), I just wanted to post the reaction of the things that happened to me... that´s all
Cheers

Wow, you have so much in common! Except that he's talented and handsome and has fans, so I guess there's not much resemblance after all. Nice try though.
