If you are implying that it sounds like my writing, then, as always, you are wrong. I haven't been able to check in lately, so I am trying to get caught up right now. To make life easier, I will just scan for Benny the Butcher posts and verbally slap you down as soon as I possibly can. If you are not talking about me, then nevermind. As for the topic, I have to wonder, if there is so much complaining on this site, then who is attending the concerts? I saw several before the cancellations and everyone seemed passionate and pleased throughout the shows; people are still waiting hours in line and clawing their way to the front row. Obviously, changes to the setlist would be appreciated, but none of us could ever agree on the same preferred set. New music would also be phenomenal, and hopefully it will happen someday soon, but the hostility raged against Morrissey for featuring music from the past in his concerts is just ridiculous. Tell me any great artist who doesn't. I can't think of any current Dylan, Bowie, McCartney, Springsteen, or Neil Young songs that have rocked the world, and these people are considered to be the "greatest songwriters" of their time; and don't even get me started on the Stones who haven't written anything of value since 1972. Yet, these people are always forgiven and Morrissey is crucified for every comment, every action, every re-issue, even for his physical appearance, on a site that is supposedly supported by his fans. I stand by my man. I will cherish the words he's given me and hope that he finds the inspirtation to continue. Just remember, Sir Paul wrote Ebony and Ivory, Someone's Knockin' at the Door, Silly Love songs, Obladee Obladah, blah, blah, blah (There are too many to list, and I believe that he currently re-issued some of this Wings crap). Morrissey is not perfect, but his entire catalog leaves most other songwriters wishing they had half of his talent. Some singers once affected me; Morrissey music always has a profound effect on me, so I stand firmly devoted.
