The Smiths & Morrissey thread

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I got a song and a half out of him at Camden Roundhouse a few years back before he walked off.
Got a refund on the gig, but obviously not the hotel for the night.
Retired to a pub near the venue when the gig got pulled and ended up having a heated conversation with my mate about how rubbish the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are, got so distracted we missed the last train to the hotel and ended up with an expensive taxi fare!

I did the first two nights and had a ticket for the last night - obviously cancelled but i still had to go down to London because my team had the audition for Egg Heads the following morning.
(Apologies if anyone new to the forum is reading this but yes.... I was once on Egg Heads....)

My current count is:

The Smiths x 5
Morrissey x 59
Cancelled / abandoned x 11

Noel likes to think of himself as some erudite wordsmith, most especially during these latter years. Oasis were fucking great and he’s written some absolute belters but he became obsessed with £££££.
His portrayal of his family home being some tough inner-city hovel is also utter drivel.
And he could write songs for the next million years and he’d never write anything (lyrically) to match:
“Gasping, dying, but somehow still alive, this is the fierce last stand of all I am.”

Is that a Julia Donaldson............?

The next scheduled gigs are..... in Florida!!!!
3 gigs of which I have tickets for two of them. One is 60 miles away, the other 30 so at least I've not had to book flights!

FFS!!!! :-)

I'd be astonished if you don't end up in the Guinness book of records MES.............

Haha, was just about to say he must have heard you were coming again. Fuck knows what you get up to at his gigs but it's obviously scared him.

Every time this thread is at the top of the page, my hopes are raised. Alas, it's not to be.

Johnny Marr has just boarded my train at Stockport and is sitting two seats behind me.
But I'm too scared to chat to him as I have a shyness that is criminally vulgar.
