I think that Moz actually enjoys going on Jimmy's show and provides something special each time. Last year he premiered All You Need Is Me on the show (after the cameras stopped, of course), and this time graced us with a Smiths classic. Maybe he just wants to give us Moz Angeles fans a special treat as well.
I also got the feeling that Jimmy had no clue as to who he was last time he appeared on the show. He seemed genuinely surprised by all the cheering when he would mention Moz, and joked with the audience about our unexpected excitement. He also made a couple jokes about Moz that really made no sense (comparing Morrissey's clothes to something you would see at the vatican? huh?). But this time, he was prepared, and his Moz jokes were highly appropriate (or at least well researched) and a bit clever. So I would like to think that Jimmy and Moz have a good relationship and that he will continue to come to LA to give us these miniconcerts.
Also, for anyone who was there, I was the "Apple commercial guy" who asked the question that got the crowd booing at me. It was a test, and you all passed.

After Skull, Morrissey said something like “Let's enjoy ourselves!” Maybe I heard that wrong. Couldn't quite make out much of what he was saying into the mic.
I think after MAMA he asked if we had downloaded YEAR OF REFUSAL, and then he rhetorically wondered, “Why did I bother to ask?”
Again rhetorically he asked us if we could possibly bear 3 more songs.
It seemed like he flubbed some notes on SKULL and MAMA, but it didn't matter because overall he was looking very strong and ready to conquer. During some key phrases he started unbuttoning his shirt! Naughty minx. Looked great in jeans. Boz was looking a bit slimmer. Hope it's not just clever tailoring! Pooley is back on keyboards.
Introducing “This Charming Man, he said something like “This song is very old, older than I am!” I had wondered if he were going to do a cover of some Gilbert & Sullivan classic, but he was joking. I wasn't as astounded he played it because the distinctive instrumental was played at soundcheck. It sounded the same as soundcheck – sloppy, choppy guitars almost as if some punk band were covering it. It was such a fun treat that I didn't mind the guitar masssacre. MAMA was played at soundcheck several times, with and without Morrissey's vocals.
SKULL was also done at soundcheck, but BEST FRIEND was a surprise. At first I wondered if it was a b-side off YOR, but as soon as I heard the vocals there was no doubt. Fitting for the re-issue of SOUTHPAW GRAMMAR. WTF happened to those bonus tracks?! Anyroad, ingrate that I am, I'd much prefer NOBODY LOVES US, however, hearing BEST FRIEND at the time was absolutely euphoric!
The director of musical guests for the Kimmel show mentioned something about re-scheduling the outdoor show later this year. Hope it happens! I'm guessing it will be during the westcoast dates when they finally happen. I know Moz wants us to go to Coachella, but I'd rather spend the same money and time to go to a small town and intimate venue far, far away from the damned desert of SoCal.

Lux Interior! (Score:2, Informative)
I've been a bit down about it all day, and I was moved to hear Morrissey shout out "Lux Interior!" after the first televised song. I know he is a big Cramps fan too.
There is one less indie genius on the planet today, but thank goodness we still have Morrissey.
RIP Lux, you will be missed.

I love you Morrissey (Score:0)
Oh and by the way, it’s too bad that they cut off Mama, I was starting to like it -- because I haven’t downloaded it - Morrissey only got through a tiny piece of it before the show wrapped it up for the evening. And I have something else to say - Morrissey was in my dream last night, but it was nothing like what I just saw on the JK show. And I hope that this dream was not a vision. And I forgot to say one more thing. I saw there were so many girls up in the front -- lucky lucky girls. Soooo lucky.
Thank you and Good night.

In '92 I won a contest on KROQ to meet Moz at a record shop instore in the same plaza as the Knitting Factory. There were a lot of winners and a long line - but we were gauranteed to meet him regardless of our place. Morrissey cut out at the two-hour mark reportedly because KROQ had only paid for two-hours of security. Never got to meet him.
