Morrissey was at the Rangers vs Devils game on Thursday night at MSG. He sat a few rows up from center ice. The cameras spotted him mid way through the second period. They showed him on the Jumbo-tron and played The Boy Racer. Seemed like he was enjoying himself at the game, but didnt seemed to thrilled about being on the Jumbo-tron.

I just received this email.
Heading "statement"

My band, KRISTEENYOUNG, have been asked to leave the Morrissey tour. Although I have been advised not to respond or issue a statement, my feelings are that I must. We have been asked to leave because of something I said on stage at The Hammerstein Ballroom, in New York City, this past Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the statement has been perceived as being profane (when, actually, one of the two words in question is a scientific term found in junior high, health class text books, and the other word, I feel most would agree, is lightweight slang) or defamatory. What I said was part of a thread of stage statements I made throughout our set. They were metaphorical and overstated to make an artistic point. The “offending” statement, in particular, was in no way a literal statement, and was very much in keeping with the tone of my writing in general. I reach for beauty and intelligence in my lyrics, but try to retain a bit of the everyday in them. Maybe the statement was a bit TOO everyday. Maybe I misjudged… but I meant no harm. I love Morrissey with all of my heart, soul, body, spirit, to the core of my existence and always will. These will be the only words I will ever write or speak on the subject ever again. Please don’t ask for an interview or e-mail me with questions.

Looks like, thanks to the help of M-Solo, that Morrissey has won the Lowry Poll to be voted Favourite Northern Male and the Smiths beat the Beetles to the best band.

The full breakdown of winners is here.

Well done to everyone who voted - however many times you did it!

Just got an email from LiveNation announcing that they have a "limited number" of $20 tickets for Tuesday's Morrissey show at the Orpheum Theater.

Check on Ticketmaster. There are $20 tickets available for the 10/30 Boston show at the Orpheum.

Guardian poll:
Who would you rather study music under - Professor Marr or Professor Morrissey?
