are morrissey fans stupid?

[johnyb ohoh]

Morrissey isn't retiring. . .he's just either trying to help ticket sales (think about it), or he was pissed off at the guy who laughed when Morrissey mentionned he was in a car accident. And the tour isn't selling out because the venues are too big, at a bad touring season, with Morrissey ticket prices too high, and such a short time for them to sell between the time they went on sale and the show date.

 

[Harsh Truth]

well, Boston shows were nearly sold out, I'd say. Certainly 85-90%

But anyway, I agree with what you say. I tend to think people shouldn't read too deeply into these 'farewell' comments.

I couldn't understand that. too stupid i think.

 

[informed informant, but not really]

Yes, maybe, but Moz isn't. Which is the whole point, really,

Morrissey is not going to retire. Why?

1) He loves money, just like everyone else, I don't care what you say

2) He loves being adored, and having people fling themselves with reckless abandon toward him/the stage just to TOUCH him

3) He 'simply loves to sing'

4) All he 'ever wanted in life was to be famous;' why wouldn't he enjoy one of the few highlights of fame (adoration, people screaming your name and crying, feeling like a god when one is onstage)

4) What the hell else is he going to do?

He might've made those comments, as someone else said, to try to sell-out the remaining venues/dates, etc. He ain't goin' nowheres.
