Hopefully Morrissey's live will be on streaming.

Yesterday's stream stopped after the Meat Puppets at 3:50 PM. Never got close to the headliners. With Moz last on stage tonight, this seems unlikely to stream. Hope I'm wrong!

Interview with Fitz and the Tantrums who are playing Riot Fest -

NUNN ON ONE: MUSIC Fitz and the Tantrums' Jeremy Ruzumna on the band, Morrissey - Windy City Times

WCT: Since you are coming to Riot Fest are you a fan of Morrissey, who is playing there?
JR: We have to stick around long enough to check him out. That is a must. The one time I saw him in person he was sitting on a curb outside of a hotel. He could have been shooting a video it was so perfect. His head was in his hands. He looked so depressed. No one was coming up to him. It was really weird but kind of cool, awesome actually.

We don't know whether Morrissey's set will be on streaming.

Chicago is 7 hours behind Europe (6 hours UK), if his set is on streaming, possibly 4:00 or 5:00 on Sunday Morning.

Thanks. I use Periscope which is good, but not enough users sadly.

Periscope? It's not the same, but it would be nice if someone could do it.

Cell service was very spotty at the stage where he plays last night. I'll try to save my battery for as many photos/vids as I can, but I will not be able to live stream out...

P.S. There was exactly 1 veggie/vegan food cart there yesterday. Tons of meat and BBQ trucks. I imagine someone will not be happy with this...

Maybe because it fulfilled their expectations or solidified their beliefs of what they've been told or think M is.

sad.

 

[Anonymous]

Why is it "awesome" and "cool" to see someone obviously depressed and alone sitting on a curb?

Exactly... Cue to slowly saunter over to sexy popstar sitting on curb and in a soft tone say something interesting.

Exactly right, as usual.
