I received this anonymous submission, can anyone confirm or deny? This is certainly a possibility as several were offended by Kristeen's comments during Tuesday's concert (see: New York, NY - Hammerstein Ballroom (October 23, 2007) post-show). It could all be a hoax too.
An anonymous person writes: Kristeen Young is has been fired from the tour. As soon as her set was over on Tuesday night, she was met in her dressing room by the tour manager, who informed her she would not be included on the rest of the dates. She has an appointment to pick up her belongings on Friday. She will be touring briefly with Ted Leo and The Pharmacists this November.

She has supported Morrissey more than any artist and done a damn fine job in my view. I wish I had been lucky enough to see her umpteen times as many of you have.

As for the remark, if it is true then Morrissey needs to lighten up. She's been placed in an impossible situation opening for him and gets abused nightly. If Morrissey cannot take a silly joke, that is just sad...

Morrissey's support acts have always been a bit hit & miss: The Sons & Daughters in 2006 were awful I think. Anyway, I can kind of sympathize with Kristeen: It is a HARD job being a support act for Morrissey! What annoys me though is that I can never understand a word she sings and I don't like her odd smirky quiet comments.

do you think that after years of people talking about what he does with his pee-pee that he'd care if kristeen said something while his family was in attendance? do you think that his teenage nephews are going to hear something that they probably haven't heard or said yet?
what she said doesn't even sound intentional. it sounds like something someone would say when they were having a brain fart.

Rumourists, I think you should meet each other and have lunch together to coordinate your interventions and avoid friendly fire. Although it's quite entertaining to see you shooting each other in the back totally accidentally...
David, if you carry on like that there'll be no mention of msolo on the next album!

Kristeen Young & The NYC Audience (Score:1)
For whatever reason, though... she was not heckled Monday or Tuesday In New York. any negativity coming from the crowd came after she dished it out first. The NYC crowd was quiet in-between songs, that's all. On Monday she decided to give the audience a mini-lecture about expression, something about "what's wrong with America is that no one expresses themselves, they go shopping instead". on Tuesday it was the sarcastic and annoyed comment: "do you have *anything* to say?"... and when someone yelled out "Morrissey"... she replied in a bratty tone with: "Morrissey gives good head... i mean cunnalngus".
It's as though she *wants* to hear heckling, or maybe she's so used to it, that at this point she jokingly invites-it to prove that she's strong enough to take it. it's a strange psychological thing with her... like a self-fulfilling prophecy. i think her relationship with the audience is overall negative, and it's definitely not always the audience that instigates it, she's a major contributer to the mood.

This is also the same guy who pushed Johnny Marr to do all of the dirty work in The Smiths, and could only muster enough strength in his character to fire Andy Rourke by leaving a note on his car.

I've seen her open for Moz seven times and witnessed the odd drunken asshole shout something stupid , but I've also seen her cheered by the majority of the audience who also shout out song requests. Why doesn't anyone mention that she's got loads of fans in the audience who adore her? I've seen her and Jeff play New York many times, at CBGB especially, where she's played to loyal crowds.
Whatever you think of her, she's got your attention!

I think Moz just likes to make us appreciate him more by torturing us first with that garbage.
I'm sure all you internet tough guys will reply but I know the majority agrees with me that she is garbage.

Her immortal words: "Morrissey gives good head... er, cunnilingus" will stand as a high-water mark of either first-class provocateurship, or no-class desperation, depending on your sympathies.
On reflection, what I find interesting is the fact that she corrected herself.

This being the lead story, the reaction to it and the poll on the main page highlights to me why Morrissey himself penned this site 'so low'.
Stories from anonymous sources, commented on by anonymous posters. There are reasons for the anonymity. Mainly shame.
Kristeen Young is flawed. Aren't we all?
She isn't anonymous or talentless though.

Although I have been advised not to respond or issue a statement, my feelings are that I must. We have been asked to leave because of something I said on stage at The Hammerstein Ballroom, in New York City, this past Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the statement has been perceived as being profane (when, actually, one of the two words in question is a scientific term found in junior high, health class text books, and the other word, I feel most would agree, is lightweight slang) or defamatory. What I said was part of a thread of stage statements I made throughout our set. They were metaphorical and overstated to make an artistic point. The “offending” statement, in particular, was in no way a literal statement, and was very much in keeping with the tone of my writing in general. I reach for beauty and intelligence in my lyrics, but try to retain a bit of the everyday in them. Maybe the statement was a bit TOO everyday. Maybe I misjudged… but I meant no harm. I love Morrissey with all of my heart, soul, body, spirit, to the core of my existence and always will. These will be the only words I will ever write or speak on the subject ever again. Please don’t ask for an interview or e-mail me with questions. Thanks to those who understand and who are brave enough to say so.
