I love Morrissey so much more but it's just an observation.
But I'm probably a stupid moron who shouldn't go the shows and kill myself whilst listening to Pornography right? Come on, do your worst...

The show was lovely, and strange, and moving and sad and utterly intimate. He was completly conversational, very funny and talkative, open and genuinly witty. It all felt ver personal, like you'd gone to see a local band that you knew on good terms. I think there was no more than maybe 250-300 people in attendance. His star has surely dimmed, and "Little man, what now?" seemed sadly autobiographical. But he didn't look like he gave two shits. And I don't either. This is the perfect show for the real fan, like a gift from Morrissey to us for all the years we've loved him.
One last thing: the lyrics on the new songs are GREAT! The best words his penned since, well maybe, his days in The Smiths.

But here's my story......Well....my First EVER Morrissey Concert was on August 29th, 2001 in Colorado Springs. My friend Dave and I went to the venue at 9:30 in the a.m. and we were not alone-there were like 3 people there sleeping outside the venue...so we got out our folding chairs and started in on our card game. Then later more people started to arrive, so we moved and kinda got more in line. The venue was kinda a dump-it was filthy and there was soooo many weeds peeking up in the parking lot and around the venue-we were all joking that we should pick weeds before Morrissey got there!:)
We met some GREAT people while waiting there-I just absolutly love Morrissey fans! It was like Morrissey camp outside that venue. Just want to give some big shout outs to Paul, Hon (I think I spelled that right? I sorry if I didn't), and Jennifer.....also if anyone knows-Micheal-the guy who has been recording the shows-could you tell him to comment me on here cuz I would pay him $$$ to get a copy of the Colorado Springs show. Oh, and it was nice to meet you Ian-glad you recognized me-
But yea.....anyways-Dave and I sat outside the venue and just patiently waited for the show to start. Well-then Gary Day comes outside!!!!! I like FREAK OUT!! So I get some autographs and pictures-then the other guys come out as well and I proceed to do the same thing.....Anyways-to cut to the chase-the show FINALLY got underway-and the security guards did a dumb thing-they opened two doors and had two lines going-so it kinda got crazy when we entered the venue-I almost didn't even get my ticket stub torn.....well I ran into the venue-got in the FRONT row and stood alongside Dave and also stood by the girl who runs the Long May It Last website-she seemed really cool-I liked chatting with her before the show-she was excited for me that it was my first show. I waited there-anxiously-my stomach was in KNOTS the entire time!!
Like I said in previous journal entries-I had made a book of my art and poetry for Morrissey-and I had that in hand to give to the man himself. I also made a sign for the show-it read:
Boz here's My Top 5
1. Morrissey
2. Boz Boorer
3. Gary Day
4. Alain W.
5. Welcome Deano!
So I had my sign and my book I made for Morrissey all ready to go.......
Finally, King Cheetah came on stage they weren't bad and I can definatly see Morrissey liking them....but you couldn't really hear the lead singer-his mic. was turned down too low-and some idiots in the crowd shouted some mean stuff to him-like they told him to change his shirt and the lead singer who I think looks like Johny Winter-shouted back some mean stuff also.....and at the end of their set he flicked off the audience. It wasn't too pleasant.
Then the intermission music began.....with Apex Theory kickin it in with Bravo. Finally after a list of songs-the poem was read and the bells and birds were a sounding and then..........
MORRISSEY CAME OUT ON STAGE!!!!!!
I literally freaked out....I started screaming and crying-It was soooooooooooooo unreal!!!!!! He played I want the One I Can't Have-and I just cried and couldn't believe my eyes!!! The stage was very low and he was very close to us in the front. I took my book and held it out to him-and I think it was either on the the song I want the One I can't Have or on Suedehead that he took it towards the end of the song-it was funny watching him take my book-cuz he was trying to shake all these hands in the way and then he grabbe

Here`s how the gig could be better........... (Score:0)
1. No couple should make contact (eye contact included) during a performance.(This is the most sick behaviour that does slow down a croud , if you girl does not like the artist leave her at home or v/v.)
2. Only people who fight for the privilage may go to the front.(No one may reserve that position simply by sticking out the opening act.)
3. Shoving is permited and can be used to show you appreciation.(TIP: Getting shoved from behind can be an excuse to shove infront of you.)
4. Every performance should be viewed from many angles.
