Day 2348 - Happy Morrissey Day




Today is officially Morrissey Day....at least in LA at any rate, where tonight Morrissey will be playing to a packed out Hollywood Bowl.

In honour of this momentous day, I am wearing a blue rose in my suit lapel, and today's FTM is a video reminder of the five times that Morrissey has accepted blue roses on stage over the past five years.

Wednesday May 9 2018 (The real and proper Day 2429) - The return of Len Shackleton

Image
I was rummaging through some old FTM's the other week, when I came across one from April 2016 -  Day 1688 - The Sending Off of Len Shackleton.   The piece was about a line in Big Hard Excellent Fish's Imperfect List  - a track that Morrissey used to play to the audience just prior to coming on stage. My piece from April 2016 didn't manage to come up with a definitive reason as to why the line about Len Shackleton's sending off was included in the Imperfect List, although one of the author's; Morrissey's old mucker, Jake Walters, had let me know that it was an, "in joke" and, "a nod to an old friend of ours designer/artist Vaughn Oliver". Having re-read my piece, I decided to make contact with Jake again, via Twitter, to see if he would give me any more information about this very peculiar mentioning of the former Sunderland footballer,  Len Shackleton , and in particular, the 'sending off', which isn't mentioned anywhere . I had a...

As are you. Goodbye." That was the last I heard from him.......... until now - THE MOZZIAH IS BACK! *Waves palm leaves and blue roses and starts singing again* It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me.....and...I'm......feel_in' good.

Monday November 12th 2018 - Day 2615 Life is a Pigsty

Image
As I lay in bed on Sunday night watching Youtube footage of Morrissey's Saturday night concert in San Diego; which incidentally was the last show of the six 'California Specials', I was struck with just how much Morrissey was enjoying himself. He has always said that he lives to be on the stage, but in these six shows he has been absolutely full of energy, offering-up shimmying dance moves, a whole load of mic-cord whipping and; as he aims his lyrics of disdain at all the lying journalists and turn-away former fans, lots of finger pointing, fist punching, and facial grimacing. Morrissey is on fire. MORRISSEY - ON FIRE IN SAN DIEGO - WITH A BACKDROP OF ANNIE WALKER & ELSIE TANNER As Morrissey signed out of California, there was a special treat for fans in San Diego - Life is a Pigsty - which was dedicated to, "Our friends in Thousand Oaks". Thousand Oaks is a city in Ventura County, and it has been in the news twice this week, firstly because of a mass murder...
