Quick, post a new story. People are getting sick of the endless cancellations.

Has any other artist in history ever cancelled more shows regularly per tour?

Amen

Those teenagers clothing waering on the streets, can and have influensed fashion

the boys boots look like Doc M's, but think they were army boots

[I thought it was a western movie picture]

Genuine Suedeheads (bordering on Smoothies) with a "Sort". Celibate, you could be right, they don't look like proper Docs, they could British Army DMS (direct molded sole) boots, there were certainly plenty of squadies in Ulster in the 70s to trade with. Bet the Harrington jacket on the lad on the left had a tartan lining, mine did. I don't remember Parallels coming in until the late 70s, think these are just cropped flares.

I wonder where those teens are now, or if there is any way of finding out if they know they're the backdrop to Morrissey's latest tour.
