Well thank you David for keeping us all up-to-date along the way - you are a star!

Yes David, thank you for updating us. If it was not for you, alot of us would be lost as to all the new info. You keep us up to date and by far run the best Morrissey site, without a doubt.

I think that without this Web site, most of us would be completely lost as to what's going on in the World of Morrissey. I know that I, for one, would never have been able to attend as many shows as I did on this tour or the 1999-2000 tour without the information that is posted here. This site has allowed many of us to be better Morrissey fans, and Morrissey himself should be grateful to David for helping all of us stay informed about his career.

David, I want to add my thanks also. It was great seeing you out on the tour in, of all places, in El Paso at the far end of The Lone Star State. Hope to see you in 2003 some place a little more exotic.

Thanks for keeping us so informed! It has been an exciting three months. Cheers to MORRISSEY-SOLO!

-What She Said

you do a quite splendid job!

thanks for providing this great forum for morrissey fans! as a relatively new fan, your site has proved invaluable. this has been an exciting year for morrissey fans indeed, and you have helped make it easier for us to keep up!

Again, you have outdone yourself. Thank you... and here's to many encores to follow.

Hopefully more news in 2003.

Hi David,

I too wanted to add my thanks. You've done a wonderful job of keeping all of us updated on the Morrissey 2002 tour. You're awesome!

Viva Morrissey-Solo.com! :)

But where do we go from here? What are we to do if the tour failed to prompt a record deal to be signed. Are we resigned to downloading bootlegged copies of new songs? Guidance please!
el mannix.

one more...

Anyway, the information level on this site is outstanding to say the least - wow! David you're a star, but also a great thanks to all those who've provided the info along the way.

For keeping the site always as the most trustful source specially in the past tour , It was so useful! It's like the oracle!

I really thank you all of your efforts and sleepless nights to keep us informed, You really need a vacation now I hope you get all the rest and peace of mind you deserve.

Muchas Gracias!

i'd really like to see an official thank you from the man, but i guess it's too much ..to ask

David has clearly done a sterling job with little recognition. As David would never ask Morrissey for an interview, maybe somebody in contact with the man himself could suggest that Morrissey offers David an interview.

Everybody in the Morrissey family would love to read that interview! Make the dream real.

Morrissey the 23rd

davidt ,i may be a crashing bore but i know a fine website when i see one,best regards and keep the flag flying.

Your work is very much appreciated!

Oye Compa, Thanks four all jur help ese. Without the down low, my summer would have been dead. Chale to all and yours, Happy Holidaze Vato.

El Chuy

To you (and the callaborative efforts of everyone else)on the excellent coverage provided on this site. I have spent countless hours here and have enjoyed it immesely. Your genius work goes unparalleled!

Great site,great work ,great guy.You have helped a lot of people all around the world.
Thanks.

If it hasn't been for this site I'd missed my chance to get tickets for two of the three concerts I did attend. I had never seen Morrissey live before and I am deeply grateful.

I owe two handshakes with Morrissey to you, which is more than I'll ever be able to pay back...

You've helped my scrape through another year,
From the heart of my bottom, thank you!
Keep on keeping on!

... thanx again for all your efforts, David ;^)

It's so hard to believe yet another tour has come and gone. I really wish I could've made it to more shows! There is a good chance, however, that I would've missed the Man this time 'round were it not for you, David, and your incredible site! I've never met another Morrissey-obsessed person in "real life", so I appreciate the wonderful people like you that it has helped me find! I love you all...

Dear Morrissey,
We love you in New England. The last time you played in Boston (Oye Esteban tour) you played two back to back sold out shows. I was lucky enough to have seen you in Portland, Maine. So my request is that you come back to the New England area some time early next year. I watched every tour date come and go on this tour and it never came over here. My plans for flying to Vegas to see you at the HOB fell apart and I didn't see one show on this tour. I had even saved a weeks vacation up at work to follow you for a week on tour with friends when you came to NE. Please come back! Do I have to beg (because I will...ok I am).
Love,
Aaron (Moz-Is-God)

...and THANK YOU David for investing so much time and energy into the best site on the entire internet! The debt could never be repaid.

for all ur effort, if it wasnt this site i could have never gone see moz

but still I cling

the Queen is not dead

Congrats on all the great coverage. Without your awesome efforts I and many others would be in the dark. This is by far the best Moz fan site ever.
Peace Bro... goodnight and thank you.

a great tour indeed. thank you for being a daily source of details for me. only made it to one show, but i feel that i've been with all of you who have seen them...one of the beauties of this odd and seemingly cold technology.

Without you and this wondergul website I would have missed the Brixton gig, can you imagine! So for that alone, I thank you.

David, I, in an impersonal way, want to personally thank you for all you do for the cause that is known as Morrissey... Morrissey, I'M POSITIVE, appreciates you as do us fans. Keep it up, forever! This is the best MOZ site and it always will be. Just a quick note: I can remember reading an off-beat Moz fanzine in 1995 and it was several months old by the time I was able to get my hands on it and I remember feeling left out and disappointed by reading old news. And so, I just really thank you for being the CNN of Morrissey news. You've quenched mine and others cravings, that of which we've needed. Or not needed, depending on what Morrissey does for you. Sometimes, I'm not so sure. Isn't obsession bliss?

Astounding job! Here's to the 2002 tour, an outstanding success. Can't wait for 2003. Thanks for keeping us so well informed!

Thanks for this excellent site. You ARE the world Morrissey-fan community.

Thanks again for your stellar coverage of the tour, without which Moz would have played to half empty halls.

Were you moshing in Birmingham? I think I bumped into you or your double - hope the bruises are fading.

..when the arrows and barbed comments come your way and the Morrissey inactivity may get you down.. Know that there is an army of us in the world that rely on this as a source of accurate, amusing, satirical, or simply trivial rumour and information about Moz.

I must ask David, Does Morrissey endorse this site as his unofficial fan club?? I assume he must visit out of curiosity (he, or his friends) to keep informed about opinions of his fanbase.

Whatever, keep it up!

Ruffian, London, England

David,

I have no idea what we would do if there wasn't this site. You have done a wonderful job here, so please keep it up.

The world is certainly full of crashing bores; on the other hand a lot of people out there still have good taste for music. This website is the living sign!!!

Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

1. An hour before my first gig of the tour, sat in a Dublin bar grinning from ear-to-ear, finding the anticipation almost overwhelming.

2. Holding onto Mozzer's hand from the pit during the encore at the same concert.

3. The crowd response at Blackburn. And I'd thought the Bradford lot had given him a great reception.

4. Morrissey grabbing my hand as I was lifted above the barriers at Blackburn. I was shouting his name out when he pointed towards himself whilst coming to the front of the stage. "Who, me?" he said. Classic!

5. Bringing home a piece of shirt from the same gig.

6. My wife going upstairs to listen to a Morrissey CD the day after only her second time of seeing him. She'd gone along a bit reluctantly but now she finds it hard to listen to anybody else.

7. Moz-solo's fantastic coverage. Thanks to David and everyone who made it a little bit easier to get through that post-gig depression.

BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH(!) For all your considerable efforts for regularly updating this site with great news. Hope you will recover soon from your lack of sleep!

Best in class! A top website, indispensible for those of us starved of sensible and informed Morrissey content in other media. Which is not to state that everything that appears here is sensible, informed or even lucid sometimes! You have built a great little community here David and you should be proud of your achievement!

Thanks for everything....

Adam

David, I come here every lunch time eager to read news on the man. Without this site I would have still gone along to BricksTon (night of my life, near the front, singing, squashed, crushed and pushed along to great songs) but I would have probably been in the balcony by the time I got the news elsewhere and got my arse in gear.
thanks for a great spiderweb
Jason

Oh, just another boring thank you. You're incredible, David. I come to this site several times a day, even just to read forum entries or new comments on stories I've read three thousand times. I was able to attend three shows that I would not have even known about if not for Morrissey-solo. You run the light of my life, proof that there are lots of intelligent, wonderful people out there who care too much. I have met several of the regular posters on here and they are all amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
A big hug for David!
Love & Morrissey,
Melissa

Although Morrissey is my #1, I like a lot of other bands and surf the web every day. I have never come across such an interesting and well structured fan site as this. We could all follow the tour from our bedrooms (computer rooms.. whatever!), and didn't miss a single thing. Of course nothing replaces actually seeing Moz live (I made two shows, RAH2 and Brixton), but reading about the other shows brought my excitmement to fever pitch - then of course I was able to share my thoughts with other fans after the gigs I went to.
Thanks again, here's to another tour in 2003!

David,
I had a great time traveling with you and I hope to do it again soon!! East Coast, Moz!!! Anyway, thank you so much for all the time you put into our addiction. We love and appreciate you!! Thanks!

After all the great work from David and fantastic contributions from people around the world -- the only thing left is for the Man himself to give Benediction to this internet Light That Never Goes Out!

Thank you Monsieur. Without your efforts, the Morrissey bandwagon would have de-railed.

I'd like to give a very special thank you to Davidt, for keeping us all up to date with a fascinating tour. I was unable to make it to any of the concerts this time (because I live in Germany now, bit hopefully he'll come here next year. Please!!!), but felt very much involved and I'd just like to show my gratitude.

For the record I do not believe that Morrissey is rascist, but I am very, very interested to know what he really does think about the other races. All we have to go on are some ambiguous lyrics (Bengali, Asian Rut and NFD) and some extremely off the cuff comments going either way.

Morrissey, you are great. I have been a devoted fan of yours for fourteen years (since Viva Hate came out) and seen you live many times. Don't ever give up, there is no need to. As we can see from this tour interest in you and your music is as fervent as ever. Soon the detractors will be saying "the current tour is not as sucessful as the one in 2002" and "he has never recaptured the magic of The First in the Gang to Die"" etc ad infinitum. Just bear that in mind.

All my love to you and your fans.

Tour Highlight:

Morrissey cancels Canadian portion of tour
I go see the Doves instead!

Yes I've gotten with the times..

How could they skip NYC! I followed this tour on your wonderful website for months to find that there is nothing said about a NY show....How many different fucking Arizona shows can they play or Cali for that fact - they may as well booked one in the desert 120 fucking degrees and played to the scorpion, monitor lizard, horned toad and the rest of our favorite desert critters.
After all NY has been through this year (not to mentioned a bad time for music in general) you would think naturally that a drop by appeasing the thousands of fans here, dying for some music we actually love would be in order - it's sickening. Not since my high school heartbreak of the postponing of the '92 Carnegie hall show for 3 months only to be ultimately cancelled all together with have I felt so cheated.
Granted there’s a slight possibility that they may start up a second leg I think that NY deserves at least one if not two shows.
My rant now is really fueled by disappointment if anything. No offence to the Desert and all of its fabulous creatures.

You're definitely the most dedicated and selfless fan! Thank you for all your years of hard work!

You're the ginchiest!
