Friday June 29 2018 - Feeble offerings (The real and proper Day 2480)
Yesterday I reported that Morrissey had closed his Alf Button Twitter account, but within minutes of it closing, a new account called @FeebleFedelma opened, which a number of the regulars seem to think might be Our Mozzer in a new guise. There have been many people over the years pretending to be OM, I at present I am reluctant to fully embrace this new account as The Mozziah, although it is certainly funny and there are a number of Morrissey hallmarks, especially the profile photo which is; according to Google Images, a performer from a Parisian Transvestite Cabaret club called, Madame Arthur.
FEEBLE FEDELMA
Fedelma's opening tweet was:
"Good afternoon. I trust I am within the company of the ill-informed?"
I asked, "And whom might we be in the company of?", to which FF responded, "I'm never company."
Other tweets followed:
"I am extremely delicate and frail."
"Cultural creator, cultural hater."
Feeble Fed returned to The Wrong Arms again in the evening, so I took him by the arm and led him into the Ladies for a little interrogation. I asked again who FF was, and got the reply, "Where would be the fun in answering that?" followed by, "I've been created for someone's amusement." I asked, "Are you the court jester?", and got the reply, "That's you!"
My chat in those Ladies loos left me feeling as though this probably isn't Morrissey, but perhaps someone close to him, or one of our own group pretending to be him. FF's next tweet was interesting, in that a not very well known name was mentioned. I had posted a general question on Twitter asking, "Does anyone know which personnel will be in the Morrissey band next week?" and FF wittingly replied:
"Joyce, Gary Day, Lindsey Buckingham and Mrs Mills."
It was the mention of Mrs Mills that was of particular interest, as I can't imagine that very many of the BRS (myself included) had ever heard of Mrs Mills; who I have now discovered was an English pianist from the 60s/70s. The only two people who would have known who Mrs Mills was, are Loughton Lil (aka JG) and MancLadMozFan (Manc Lad for short). I asked JG if he was behind this new account, but he assured me that it wasn't him. I didn't bother asking Manc Lad - witty impersonation would be well beyond his remit. Could this account could be M after all, and if so, whose "amusement" has it been created for?
MRS MILLS - AN UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE TO BOZ
In other news, just a few hours after I published my blog entry about Dave 'has been' Haslam yesterday, the Official Morrissey Facebook page posted a message about Haslam, calling him.....wait for it.....wait a little longer....."Has-been Haslam" - just another coincidence, of course. As if the global superstar, Morrissey would know that FTM even exists.
The Facebook message, which also criticised The Guardian for yet another article full of lies and deceipt, was signed by Peter Katsis, Morrissey's manager, but there can be no doubt that it was written by Morrissey himself.
Has-been Haslam has, predictably, today been lording it - thrilled that Morrissey has noticed him. As FF tweeted to me earlier this afternoon, "Nothing like self promotion off the back of old Mozza's name."
*STOP PRESS - LATE ADDITION*
The AlfsButton account was re-activated just after 3.30pm today, with Our Mozzer announcing:
"Due to heteful fake news and Dave Hassle attempted career resurrection the currently scheduled concerts are in jeopardy. Be warned."
I guess the cancellation of the Castlefields concerts would certainly piss on Haslam's bonfire, and it is perfectly understandable that Morrissey would not want to play with so many hate-filled people around. If the concerts do get cancelled because of Haslam, he will no doubt be the target of many very annoyed Morrissey fans.
