Tuesday October 9th 2018 - Day 2581 - Still W'OO'ndering

Two tweets from Broken is all there has been from the 'online Morrissey' in the past seventy two hours - one can only presume he is busily working away at that new parody piece we were promised..... or maybe not!

On Saturday morning Broken replied to a tweet from Marcus the Greek (@PapaSonsFilm), who had tweeted to say that he had saved him a piece of cake. Broken's very humorous response was, "Bin it". His other tweet was yesterday morning, responding to a tweet of mine. Wolf66 (@wolf66_m) had asked me if Broken always appeared in the MorrisseysWorld parody pieces as an addition to Morrissey. I replied, "Don't ask me to try and explain anything! Broken is an enigma." Broken's charming response to this was, "And you bloody couldn't even if I wasn't."

Of course, the person tweeting as Broken might not have been Morrissey. As we know from previous experience, Morrissey hasn't always been the person who tweets as Broken, as on occasions Broken has tweeted whilst Morrissey is on stage - such as in Dublin in December 2014. 

One time that there can be NO disputing that it was definitely Morrissey tweeting as Broken, was on the afternoon of Monday March 4th 2013, when Broken tweeted, "Well I W'OO'nder". Seven hours after that tweet, during the pause in Speedway, Morrissey sang, "Gasping, dying, but somehow still alive, this is the fierce last stand of all I am, please keep me in mind" - it was one of the biggest 'coincidences' of our journey, but as the weird tweeter called Broken had hardly any followers, it of course, went unnoticed. 



Re-watching that clip of Well I Wonder has made me yearn to see the whole song live. That snippet in Davis is the only time that Morrissey has sung it on stage EVER - including his time in The Smiths.

In my previous blog entry, I invited my readers to list their twelve favourite Morrissey songs from the past decade. EARS, Heather, Boozey Kez, Wolf, Harrison Strangeboy, Fancy, Portland Pigsty Jo, Matt Starling and Mancladmozfan all posted their favourites, and between the ten of us, we came up with 44 different songs as favourites - not many other artists would manage that, and it just goes to prove what a catalogue Morrissey has. No one shared my love of I Bury the Living and only Heather was with me on You'll Be Gone - each to their own.

Here are the twelve songs with the most votes - interestingly a very equal spread of tracks from each period of the decade.  I really should have let people include the Swords songs that were post 2008 - oh well!

Top 12 Morrissey Songs 2008-2018 (as chosen by the Dreary Deluded, er, ten)

1. Israel
2. Home is a Question Mark
3. Black Cloud
4. Staircase at the University
5. All You Need is Me
6. Jacky's Only Happy When She's Up on the Stage
7. Istanbul
8. When Lat I Spoke to Carol

*Comes in singing* Birds flyin' high, you know how I feel Sun in the sky, you know how I feel Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me Yeah, it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me, oooooooooh And I'm feelin' good In the early hours of the morning of Sunday December 24th 2017 ( FTM Day 2392 ), Morrissey sent me a private Twitter message that read, "The BRS are dead to me. 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. Morrissey's return is in the guise of Dawn Mist, the mystical lighthouse keeper who first joined us in July 2016 .

Day 2390 - "The construction of genius"

As I counted down the ' Most Watched Morrissey Video Chart 2017 ' in The Wrong Arms yesterday afternoon, we were joined by the man himself (as Morfessa), although it was only very briefly. He tweeted, "I am not staying. I have people to offend", to which I replied, "Your full time occupation...you're good at it too!", and subsequently got the response, "I offended twenty people by the time I had gargled this morning." Before he disappeared, old Mozzer left this message for me via DM: "Stop your chart immediately. Good. The interview questions are being answered. Now continue. From Alf." He then added, "Would you like a sneak peak of an answer?" As I was counting down the chart, I hadn't seen the message, so didn't reply immediately. Two minutes later I got a, "Far too slow." Bloody impatient lyrical geniuses! They're all prima donnas. The interview questions that Morrissey was referring to, were ones ...

Basically Pixie Pals are players that have a specific role or responsibility in the game and are �in a way- considered members of the Never Council . You can tell someone is a pixie pal if their name is in a different color (usually Red or Blue) . For example I (and my bff Angie) am a Pixie Pal whose nam...
