is all I have to say about that.

It's Julia's life - if she is happy, and no harm is caused, then who is to judge? But I really wanted to explore the issue - is somebody truly happy if they are totally immersed, obsessed, or fanatical about somebody or something?
Neither of you are winners. For different reasons. That's my opinion.
Maybe she's like the girl with the tats and black hair- tells people she can afford to follow morrissey because she has a bachelor's degree and works hard, but in reality collects food stamps from the government and is a dominatrix in NYC- a job that provides tax-free money and the ability to make your own schedule. I don't even want to know how she got on the list but I bet it involves someone on moz crew.
She doesn't live off of a trust fund. That's a Solo-perpetuated fantasy. But even if she did it wouldn't be at taxpayer's expense, so the comparison doesn't jive.
There are fans that have seen an artist as much as julia- deadheads.
Even if she doesn't report her dominatrix money to the IRS, she would still be required to report it to the agency that doles out the food stamps, otherwise she could be prosecuted for fraud. Maybe she doesn't make enough money as a dominatrix and is still eligible for food stamps. Personally, I wish women would not be whores because it only perpetuates sexism.
Here you are, in all your glum internet infested misery dissecting Julia's life from afar, with no insight whatsoever. Meanwhile, she's off somewhere living her dream. :

the first thing i'd counter with is that "happiness" is an incredibly vague concept, one that means many different things to different people. Can't happiness be the fulfillment of an obsession? Can't happiness exist in repetition and predictability? Can't happiness exist in immersing one's self in something or someone else's life? Maybe not for you or for me, but for some people, that's how it is. I can't fathom finding enjoyment or "happiness" in devoting one's life to raising a child, for example, but most people apparently do. Everyone is different. The second thing i'd suggest is that the achievement of a state of "happiness" isn't even necessarily every person's goal in life.
People are motivated by all kinds of different things. Far be it from me to suggest that i have it all figured out, because i don't—not for me or for anyone else.

nobody anywhere wins. That's my opinion.

Touched a nerve there apparently...Dreams should be for your life- not following someone else's.
Deadheads were following the band around in vans, selling food/acid/handmade crafts in the parking lots to see the dead. They didn't command the front row every night after flying in first class.

Is she really living the dream? That's what living the dream is to you -- to follow a singer's every move and not have a life aside from his life?
As for the comments about happiness. Who says she's happy? Have you seen her? Does she love happy to you? And that dominatrix being referred to, who is also "living the dream", is open about being a "sad girl". She's depressed and all her Morrissey shows hasn't really taken that away.
But she's not. The tour's over.
I couldn't give a tinker's f*** how Julia Riley chooses to spend her life/money. Life is shit & short, so do what you love now. Or who
But, as for Morrissey's ongoing...interest...in Julia, I would think it possible that Morrissey sees in her what-might-have-been.
Had John Maher from Wythenshawe not knocked him up, etc, perhaps he would still be stealing sacred scraps from Sparks' hotel breakfast tables.
Or something.
And been happy with that too?
I reckon that Morrissey still sees Pop Worship as the ultimate in human relationships.
He has seen it from both sides of the divide, and I doubt whether he actually sees the Fan as being the vastly inferior partner.
Clearly, to most adult humans, and all practising therapists, that's quite a deluded position.
But I've seen worse.
i don't care about this bollocks-26 years ago i was in wolverhampton civic hall,now that was a gig, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
yeah my parents were deadheads and we saw them a lot they more so and we were not wealthy but just made different decisions with the little money we had. im not saying smart ones but we did it
