Morrissey Announces US Tour


When it comes to old-timey rockers, some of them you check out because they still got it, and some people you go just for the nostalgia factor. Somehow, Morrissey defies both these camps and sets himself squarely in the middle. Yeah, he's not the Smiths, but still his solo music has filled a snotty, smart-alecky, pretentious hole that he left behind at the Smiths' end. I'm not being pissy, I saw Morrissey in the 90s and grabbing Morrissey in my arms before being ushered off stage ranks among my great concert going moments.

Should you want to relive memories you never had, Moz is heading out on a pretty substantial US tour so that newly blossomed Smiths fans can have an inkling of what it was like in the eighties. When we first got wind of a tour being organized, I thought a maybe a handful of dates. Not the case.

He really must have an axe to grind with Philadelphia. Oh well, I have a contact with MSG, so I guess I'll be going to that one.

Oh, you silly old man
You silly old man
You're making a fool of yourself
So get off the stage

You silly old man
In your misguided trousers
With your mascara and your Fender guitar
And you think you can arouse us ?

But the song that you just sang
It sounds exactly like the last one
And the next one
I bet you it will sound
Like this one

Downstage, and offstage
Don't you feel all run in ?
And do you wonder when they will take it away ?
This is your final fling

But then applause ran high
But for the patience of the ones behind you
As a verse drags on like a month drags on
It's very short, but it seems very long

And the song that you just sang
It sounds exactly like the last one
And the next one
I bet you it will sound
Like this one

So, get off the stage
Oh, get off the stage
And when we get down off of the stage
Please stay off the stage

Get off the stage
Oh, get off the stage
And when we've had our money back
Then I'd like your back in plaster

Oh, I know that you say
How age has no meaning
Oh, but here is your audience now
And they're screaming :

"Get off the stage"
Oh, get off the stage
Because I've given you enough of my time
And the money that wasn't even mine

I saw Moz recently in Pasadena and it was an amazing show. I paid way too much for tix, so hopefully they won't screw it up this time with all the tix going to scalpers. The bowl in Hollywood is not terrible, if you can afford the seats below. A buddy of mine works bar there and I kind of sneak into that area.

I love the Moz' music but his a dick and an incredible hypocrite.

How can he justify not touring in Canada (because of the seal hunts) while he has no problem touring in the States when he openly opposes the war in Iraq??

I wonder if $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ has anything to do with it......
