Wrote on my blog this week, reminiscing about The Smiths and when Morrissey first went solo. So I decided to see what he's been up to all these years since the "Everyday Is Like Sunday" era, because I never kept up with him.
Have watched hours and hours of interviews on YouTube - even watched that "Importance of Being Morrissey" film. Got totally sucked in all over again; hearing and watching "Please God Help Me" for the first time made me openly weep. (Ditto for "Jesus I Forgive You.")
Found out Morrissey is playing in Chicago next week. I live in Wisconsin an hour away from Chicago. The tickets are cheap and still available. I can get a babysitter.
Somehow I landed here on Morrissey Solo. Have spent hours and hours reading through various forum threads here. And now wondering if I am crazy to want to see Morrissey in concert? Much of what I read here is in complete contradiction to all the interviews I read and watched online. You all make him seem like a narcissistic, scheming, two-faced nutjob. (For the record, I stopped listening to Morrissey back in the day because of, well, the same sort of issues, yet it seems much worse?) But then there's all this music I just discovered, even if years late to the party......(BTW, could someone tell me the name of the three "new" songs that no one likes? Can I listen to them on YouTube?)
What am I to do? I mean, why get sucked into something that is potentially just falling apart anyway? I can listen to the music at home and skip seeing the shows of someone who throws fans out and who rips on everyone and everything he doesn't like, yes?
Seriously, I am a newbie and I've never been here or posted before. Feeling the attraction back to Morrissey, but it seems ALOT has changed since the late 1980's and early 1990's. Am I wrong?
