LEFT THE NORTH... HE TRAVELED SOUTH...
Exclusive: July spawns a Moz tour!
08.mar.02

Some of you may have heard already heard that The Mighty Mozzer is touring this year. Some of you might not have. Either way, you now know, and what we know you don't, so readeth ye on.

Basically, Stephen Patrick Morrissey will tour the world this year, and said tour includes at least five UK dates. We know that Birmingham, Glasgow and London are amongst these dates, and we know they're in July. That's all we know. But for now, we suspect it may be enough.

So get ready. A full announcement is expected within the fortnight. Stop.

        Anonymous, I believe that pink was just kidding too. In Portuguese, as I am sure you are aware, sometimes we use such words to express love and familiarity, so there was no insult intended - and besides, here's the internet, an international field, and people communicate in a very free way.
        Better to try to understand the general sense than to be picky with words.
        And by God, just now I realised what you meant by saying he/she is not from the south. Hmmm! Don't be like that! Now I just remembered why I never wanted to come back (and to the south, yes, where I was born). And yes, my other comment was meant to be funny, once I am brazilian myself, but now that I realised the sad tone I understand I should have been more careful.
        Please change and be nice, eh?

  • Belle and Sebastian are playing at a lovely old venue called The Tabernacle on May 13th (which I will be attending with bells on), and this would be a great warm-up for Mozzer to visit at the end of the summer when it's 99 degrees with 99 percent humidity! Please stop in Atlanta, Morrissey. I would buy a ticket or two and attend the performance, as well.

    oh yea, would one of you brain dead record execs. please give this man a deal soon. i do believe that the world has suffered enough with the backstreet, brittany, n-sync garbage that has been plaguing our planet for the last several years.

    see what can happen when moz has no new album. the whole thing just falls apart.

  • If he's going to do a world tour and visits Europe like last time, let him please not choose horrible, humdrum provincial towns such as Deinze or Tilburg. Morrissey, like all great artists in the past, has to play Paradiso in Amsterdam and/or Ancienne Belgique in Brussels.

      what's wrong with southpaw and maladjusted? grant it may not be his best work but let's not get hasty. there are some really great tracks in there and i think they both hold up pretty well, not to mention the rest of the great stuff that came from those sessions. i think that everybody's expecting arsenal and vauxhall over and over again. if that were the case it would get pretty stale pretty quick. every chapter in the book of moz can't be the same. otherwise there wouldn't be much of a story. i just hope that the next chapter isn't the last. that would be a shame and truly tragic.

So, I find these responses on this board, which include excitement, and pleads as to where Morrissey should play, quite dull. Secondly, the last rumor posted, was in fact taken from a rumor based web site, so what is there to believe? For pete's sake fools, find something useful to sit and drool over!

  • My God I would love a new tour if it is not Oye Esteban all over again. I would be thrilled if the Moz man played some stuff from the Kill Uncle, and Bona Drag era. Admit it, November, and Hairdresser were the major high points in the previous tour. If only the man would play Mute Witness, The Loop, Pregnant, Playboys, Disappointed, Picadilly, Sing Your Life, Our Frank, King Leer, Driving Your Girlfriend Home, Sister I'm A Poet, Lucky Lisp, Margaret On The Guillotine, Glamerous Glue, Bengali In Platforms, Born To Hang, Striptease With A Difference, Oh Phoney, and There Speaks A True Friend. If the man plays any of these songs I will be elated. If I even just see a stand up Bass I will be elated. But if is just the same old boring Esteban shit again I will just stay home.

    The tour will be the way to show that he does have a dedicated fan base who will want (and pay for) a new release. He gives you an inch and you ask for a yard. So, to bastardize Moz's lyrics, he is doing his best so don't worry, those of you who are whining buggers.

      I think the man himself is more concerned that there is no longer an audience for his music. A six-pack money tour to a few big market towns is nothing we ought to be praising him for. To bastardize his lyrics, he earned it baby, then he spent it. Time to go back to work.
