Speaking of trouble loving you, is the spider bite cleared up?

It is still tender but yeah, the ugly part has healed. I can still see the puncture wounds. It’s just going to be a large scar, I think. Thanks for asking.

Lol. Whatever made him think that scrawling that on a tatty old bit of paper and waving it about smugly would be a good idea. Im no royalist but its neither funny or very tasteful. People are strange....

Meanwhile in Jenin, over 3,000 refugees flee after IDF drone attacks, over 30 dead, including children. Armoured tanks blocking humanitarian and medical aid.

So, go Morrissey. Sing away.

not true

like, does he honestly think that that song, or hatred of the monarchy in general, is about a personal grudge against the life of one specific old lady, and that her death is therefore some kind of a score? so dumb. you just know that he fancies himself to look like a young jewish morrissey, too. the rest of the crowd look okay.

First Morrissey show ever yesterday, had a great time. Kinda surprised at all the negativity here (also it mostly seems to be this Benny guy).

Setlist was very solid I thought, if a bit short. Opening with HSIN was legendary and a big surprise, a honor to see him sing that. 5 Smiths picks, and all of them stone-cold classics for me, were all well performed - can't complain about that. Half a Person was the highlight of the whole set, such a moving song.

Solo songs selection was good, especially loved "Throwing My Arms Around Paris" and "I Wish You Lonely". Of course, Suedehead and Sunday are classics. Was great to hear "My Hurling Days" too.

New songs kinda sucked, lyrics seemed quite repetitive and uninspired. This Notre-Dam song was ridiculous, Night Pop Dropped was quite bad, the Telephone song was catchy but just seemed silly ("who wants my money now..."). I always try to be open to new material but this wasn't it.

Morrissey vocals were really good I thought, his voice is so unique and recognisable.
Band was solid, I was completely unaware of the band members switch controversy and have no idea who Alain is, I understand people liked him but no point taking out frustration on his replacements, it's not their fault. Carmen was solid on guitar and the crowd loved her. Keyboard girl was also great, nice solo before "Sunday" (just a shame the douche next to me talked through the whole thing). Wasn't the most spectacular backing band ever but the songs sounded good.

Overall had a great time. Imperfect show and could have been much longer, but I knew what to expect and I got to see a legendary musician sing a set that was about 70% bangers with some absolute great high points.

He's displaying the result of Morrisseys influence.
A total idiot.
Well done Morrissey.
You 100% arse.

So does this list always happen? How early is a good time?

I saw it for the first time ever on the first show. First arrived about noon I think while concert started at 21:00.

The 'phone it in' tour continues. For someone so vehemently against meat butchery, he's got no problem surrounding himself with musical butchery, has he?
