Day 2378 - The Promise(s)
I had quite a lot of spare time on my hands yesterday, so I decided to create a list of all the songs I had seen Morrissey sing live, and also a list of the ones I hadn't seen; including the ones that I would really like to see/hear. When I had completed my list, I tweeted to ask my followers how many songs they thought I had seen, giving the following options:
A) 85
B) 95
C) 105
D) 135
E) 145
F) 165
G) 205
Only a couple of people bothered to humour me by having a guess, but there is a reason I am mentioning it here. I shall explain why later.
Meanwhile, both the Morrissey show in Boston, and tonight's scheduled headline performance at KROQ have been cancelled due to the ongoing illness within Camp Moz, so the US tour is now officially over. Blue Rose was not accomplished in 2017, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the BRS is over, and in fact a comment left on my previous blog entry earlier today, has given me the impression that the BRS is not only very much alive, but has received a BIG nod in Morrissey's video for Jacky's Only Happy - more about that later too. I for one will attempt to get a blue rose to Morrissey at both Brighton and London in March.
As to whether or not it is Morrissey himself who is ill, or one of the other members of the band, we do not know, although if Moz is ill, the good news is, he definitely isn't laying in a coma somewhere, and he still has the ability to laugh. How do I know that? Well, let me explain.
Last night, old Mozzer paid a visit to The Wrong Arms, and after a brief exchange in the public bar, we sidled off together, and continued our chat in the private, and rather squashed compounds of a toilet cubicle. I can't give the full transcript of our conversation because: A) Part of the conversation needs to remain private - at least for now, although I am hoping all may be able to be revealed next week if a certain someone keeps a promise they have made, and B) Much of the transcript has been deleted, without me having copied it - I had NO IDEA that The Arms had employed a cleaner - how annoying.
THE WRONG ARMS REST ROOM - PRE-CLEAN UP
The reason Moz appeared in The Arms was because Twitter user, @YouAreTheMeadow, had brought to my attention the following Morfessa tweet from June 26th: "I dedicate track 8 to @TheRatsBack".
I wrote about this tweet on Day 2213 of FTM. It was in relation to Dawn's album track list (see FTM Day 2206 ). I have no idea why YouAreTheMeadow decided to retweet that tweet of June 26th, but having been reminded of it, I tweeted Morfessa to ask, "So, the real track 8 is The Girl From Tel-Aviv Who Wouldn't Kneel - is it still dedicated to me?"
Morfessa replied, "The real Track 8 from where?". I wittingly (?!) replied, "Lou In High Heels", and got the not-amused reply of, "Hilarious". I could tell that Morrissey was in no mood for a half-witted rat, and tweeted to tell him as much. He replied by saying, "Half-cut rat would be preferable". It was nearing midnight, so I decided that as Moz was in no mood for me, I would head to bed.
Just as I was about to turn off my iPhone for the night, I saw that Morfessa had replied to another of my tweets, the one in which I asked people to guess how many songs I had seen live. Morfessa had guessed, "365". Even with cover versions, Morrissey hasn't sung 365 different songs live in his entire career, let alone in the seventeen concerts I've attended, so I tweeted, "I haven't been camping outside your shower, you know", to which he retorted, "I'd be very afraid to drop the soap if that was the case." I immediately hit back with, "Rubbish, you'd be dropping it on purpose".
My flirting obviously worked, because Moz grabbed me by the Heinz baked beans, and whisked me into those toilets, where he announced, "That made me laugh out loud."
He then asked how many songs I had seen live, and wanted to know if I would be publishing the list. I replied that I would publish the list on Sunday, but actually, now that I am writing this blog entry, I will publish it tomorrow instead. I asked Morrissey to guess how many songs he thought I had seen in the seventeen concerts. I pointed out that; Irish Blood, First of the gang, Paris and How Soon is Now had all been played at least ten times each. Morrissey's reply made me laugh out loud:
"I average 40 masterpieces each with engaging and topical audience participation between each."
He then added, "Are you including the Letterman show in this? He was a fat ugly cunt. I couldn't bare him. Well I'd like to say 205 songs. But I fear I could be grossly incorrect."
I replied, "Yes, grossly over. 145", and got the reply, "The average isn't looking good is it?"
Moz then asked, "Do you watch TV. I can recommend something of interest". He then posted this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Promise_(2011_TV_serial) with the words, "I believe it is available on UK telly."
He then felt the need to correct himself, tweeting the word, "Tele", and then disappeared. What's wrong with "telly"?
The link is to a four part TV series from 2011 called The Promise. It is based in Israel, with two stories, one set in the 1940s and one in modern time. Could this series be the influence for one or more of those Israel/Tel-Aviv tracks on Low In High School? The programme is available on the Channel 4 website, so I now have to find five hours to watch it. I shall start tomorrow.
CHRISTIAN COOKE - LEN IN THE PROMISE. DESCRIBED BY WRITER/DIRECTOR PETER KOSMINSKY AS A '"JAMES DEAN TYPE GUY".
And finally, another of the (presumed) Morrissey pessoa's, Jon the ConMorrissey theorist, took to FTM at 11.40am (3.30am LA time/6.40am New York time/Goodness knows what Morrissey time) today and posted this:
Jackys Only Happy video seems to be a loveletter to "Blue Rose Soc."
Red/blue lighting references Twin Peaks
The dancers do v signs over their eyes referencing MW blog
One dancer is in a blue rose shirt
The band wear turquoise shellsuits, as made famous by David Icke, another blog legend.
The video is done in the "pop style" as the blog always said Moz wanted to steal Bieber's thunder.
Th blog posted an article once in which MW said he would get "the lads" to dance in turquoise and hure backing dancers to break thr charts!
Amazing
Jon
I had previously mentioned that I thought the Jacky video was a nod to Twin Peaks, but hadn't seen it as a "love letter to 'Blue Rose Soc."". WOW! It gives me the belief that the BRS lives. I now need to find that MorrisseysWorld article that mentioned the lads dancing in turquoise. Ws that really true?
Jon also added this:
Barretts oesophagus was even mentioned in an old blog article before anything became public... can anyone find it?
Is this true too?
A) 85
B) 95
C) 105
D) 135
E) 145
F) 165
G) 205
