Morrissey statement on South America tour, food poisoning at TTY: "See the luck I've had"

See the luck I've had - true-to-you.net
12 July 2013

I can't give words to the sorrow I feel at the loss of perfect Peru. Oh, black cloud. After such a victorious and uplifting welcome of Lima love, the contaminated jinx had its way via a simple restaurant meal of penne pasta and tomato. Three hours later, both I, and security Liam have collapsed with a deadly and delirious bedridden disease. Five days of round-the-clock medical supervision just barely controls the corrosively toxic food poisoning. I know my luck too well. Sorrow replaces joy, and in every dream home a heartache. It could only be me.
I have returned to Los Angeles and to the expert supervision of my doctor Jeremy Fine, who assures me that I shall be fine (although not in the gossamer, powdery sense) for our upcoming shows in Argentina and Brazil. I have absolutely no idea where my beloved Chile has gone. In the heat of cancellations and postponements, the humiliation and mortification I feel on a personal level is too mammoth to be measured. If my spirits climb down any lower I could never again find the dignity to stand upright. We all live at the mercy of biological chance, and although I am not one to take refuge in clichés, I repeat my very servile apologies to any and all who back-packed their way to Peru. Alas, the dark shadow made the same journey.
Each year of life brings us nearer to our decline, but I will continue to seek a listener until I'm dead in a ditch.

with all the soul of the world
MORRISSEY

I still can't decide if Morrissey is

-A)socially underdeveloped, with no notion of what other people agree is "right" or "wrong". Like a kid raised by wolves, or rather by Psychos for the Efficient Termination of Animals, (because let's face it wolves would have done a better job than this), he simply can't see what we mean when we tell him he's been a naughty boy. On the plus side: that means he may be a criminal, but he can't be held responsible. On the minus side: he's not very bright.

OR

- B) with a full understanding of "right" and "wrong", but deciding it should in no way affect him, as he is more important than those absurd moral notions that rule society. Plus: normal IQ. Minus: completely deranged and dangerous.

If it's both, what percentage? I wish he saw a specialist (Dr Nice, Dr Sweet, whoever) who could then tell us. I still can't figure it out.

Propensity for depression in both cases: high, because the world doesn't work like he does... Maybe for a while but ultimately, not at all...

Also, things guaranteed to go wrong if paired off with someone with similar personality traits. For instance, see that woman who says if she ever was to have a baby it wouldn't be with her supposed current boyfriend (cause:deficient non-latino genes or something)? Now on most people's compasses this points to "dangerous hurtful provocative selfish crazy airhead: avoid at all costs". On Morrissey's it points to "Yum Yum!"

Basically, the universe is unable to cope when two of those cases are in the same area at the same time. It's too much negativity in one definite space. That is why every time they will tour together something will go wrong, to release the bad vibes and accumulated grudges that follow them around.If not the Universe would probably explode. Even if you, personally, ignore them, the laws of physics still apply with magnets for disaster like these (I just got proof of that).

As they are both B types, they'll keep doing it anyway though, because, even faced with facts, they think they know better, and reassure each other that they're right to do it, in a "you and me against the world" fashion.

I really should stop studying them, but they're so engrossed in themselves they're not noticing anyway, so where's the harm...I'm just sad I still haven't got a scientific explanation. It really defies logic. It's like watching a couple of geese repeatedly trying to board a 747, for want of a better analogy. What the f*** are they doing all this for? They see it's not going to work. And yet, they keep doing it, and not even for research purposes, like some...It's a mystery.

And it's getting pretty disastrous. I'm getting this storm chaser feeling, like in "Twister"... Better not tell them about some dates, that might ruin the data we're going to collect.


You know, they might have read this; but guess what: they've already forgotten the content. Yes...That's the trouble with deficient attention to others syndrome
("Hey did you just talk about me there?")

Oh my f***ing god.

You are completely unable look at your behaviour from an outsider's point of view, aren't you? Your post makes no sense. You're full of inexplicable, immoderate anger, and you're taking it on Morrissey because you've noticed that other worms are doing the same thing. Everything about your post tells the reader that you're not particularly intelligent, yet you're estimating Morrissey's intelligence as if yours is even comparable to his. Oh my f***ing god. Lighten up, take a deep breath and look at yourself, or just simply gtfo.

I think it's similar to the school playground theory; when one child starts making fun of/picking on/putting another child down, the majority of the class jump on the bandwagon because they want to be in the 'popular' camp. Even if they really want to stand up for the child and be on their side with their own opinions.

---

Morrissey obviously hasn't got to that stage yet but he has changed through the years as they and everybody else has. And we can either change as fans along with him and accept his differences or turn our backs on him as he is now and live in a memory bubble.

Wow. Agree 100 %.

 

[Girlmostlikely]

I look at his setlist and think perhaps Morrissey is the one in the memory bubble. Were there eight Smiths songs on the list for Lima? Something like that.

There's a lot of truth in your wider points, but we have been told by the man himself his "new" material - by which I mean last decade - is the best he's ever released. I remember hearing a duff quality live version of Paris doing the rounds some months before release, and thinking it was tremendous. Ditto YHKM. I remember that first ever amazing USTV performance of First Of The Gang To Die, not Letterman, the first one. "You have never been in love until you've seen the dawn rise behind the home for the blind." Pure Morrissey. Funny, clever, everything we know he's capable of still producing. But I remember the filler, particularly of the last two albums. You'd get a pretty decent album by combining the best of them both, but separately? No.

At least the Stones have grown old relatively gracefully and didn't tell us their last studio album matched Exile On Main Street. Where does promotion cross into delusion? Be happy with it by all means, be proud of it, but to tell people it matches anything else he's ever done is an insult to everyone's intelligence. Someone here claimed just a couple of days ago that Art-Hounds was as good as There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. It isn't.

Post Quarry life has not been kind to either Morrissey or his fans. The band today look moribund. Just going through the motions. Glastonbury was a real eye opener. The man himself seems stuck in a rut. I'd keep Boz on board and dump the rest. Boz seems to me to be a thoroughly decent chap and can perhaps serve as a conduit to new collaborators. Morrissey still has a great album left in him. I'm utterly convinced of that. By pretending everything is fine we do him a disservice. He's better than that. The man is a f***ing star.

^^This.
Well articulated. I always have respect for your posts because even when they are not so nice, they always come from a place of love. Yes, we all want the best for Moz because we love him and it hurts watching him make questionable choices, just as it would watching a wayward family member. I too believe Moz still has some magic left and i would love to see him release one more brilliant album...we all know he can. He just needs to get out of his own damn way!

 

[Anonymous]

Wondering as to the reason he left s americA, the movie I believe is one of the motivations, a few things dont seem to be in place yet. The movie is the key to tour Again in usa, europe

 

[french_fry]

Morrissey please message me if you need anything. I am in Los Angeles and am happy to deliver some takeout from Cat and Fiddle to you at no charge. I will leave it by your doorstep if you do not wish to see/speak to me. If you aren't Morrissey, please stop reading this message.

Anyone who thinks that Morrissey takes these cancelations lightly is delusional. Even if he has total disregard for the feelings of his fans, which I sincerely doubt, he is an intelligent, creative man, and people of this nature tend to experience humiliation like a mortal wound. He would not intentionally do anything that would cause public embarassment, or worse, cause him to be the subject of more vile comments from alleged fans on this site. I personally think that he suffers from bouts of extremely dark moods that are completely paralyzing; and whether his problems are physical or emotional, or a combination of the two, his condition should inspire compassion, not contempt.

I loved Springsteen when I was a kid; then his music became intolerable, commercialized crap. I was upset for about a minute, then I moved on, because that is what mature, sane people do. I certainly don't waste hours of my life trolling his fan site, using fake names to post malicious comments with the sole intent of upsetting people who still respect and adore him. That would just be unnecessarily cruel. If you don't like him, then don't look at him, don't buy his merchandise, don't listen to his music, and don't go to his concerts. It's really that simple.

Many people come here because they want to connect with others who share similar interests and passions; that is a basic human need; but people who come here seeking out others with a common hatred are just vile, pathetic, disturbed, worthless, dangerous individuals. There is a difference between criticizing Morrissey's recent lyrics or his public statements and attacking him brutally on a personal level. Even his most devoted fans have found his behavior to be questionable at times, and intelligent debate on these issues is to be expected; but it is a completely different issue when people post the most debase remarks concerning his appearance or his sexuality just because they, and no one else, think that it is amusing. Others have questioned why anyone would waste the time and effort doing this. Here are some possibilites; 1. the person is an egomaniacal blow-hard who believes that his/her opinion is the only option. 2. the person is a self-absorbed narcissist who needs to see his/her comments written in a public forum. 3. The person is a bully who gets some deranged pleasure from degrading others. 4. the person is a sexually repressed, juvenile-minded, socially retarded, basement bound twat. 5. the person is spiteful, jealous, and insecure and can't stand the thought of others finding comfort and inspiration in something. 6. all of the above, and you sick f***s know exactly who you are.

Morrissey, my love,where ever you are, whatever you are, I will be at the side of that ditch, thanking you for so many beautiful words. Be well.

Oops you forgot no 7) The person/persons are sick of him royal family bashing, celebrity chef bashing, celebrity footballer (and his wife bashing) Cowell bashing, England bashing etc, etc.

Could not have put it better, thank you lynnda.
This is what I posted a few days ago:

'He's not as good as The Smiths', 'he's not as good as his former self', blah-blah-blah.
Disillusioned? Disappointed? Bitter even?
Well, guess what, he owes you nothing, absolutely sweet f.a.
So why don't you all just piss off? (yep, for the second time in the same evening, I must be feeling that way out I guess).
Go and find something more interesting to do, surely you must have something better to do than spend half your life whinging/bitching on a website dedicated to a 'has-been'. No? Oh...

Not quite as eloquent as your post, however the sentiment is one and the same.

"It takes strength to be gentle and kind..."

You know you're describing the public persona of a certain Mancunian pop star there don't you? You cannot be that unaware, surely?

As I seem to have in part instigated this I'll respond. Criticising Morrissey is not a crime on any statute book in the world. Some of those who defend him regardless blithely say that it is fine to criticise him, and then attack anyone who does. Make up your minds.

Neither of his last two albums set the world on fire, despite there being two or three decent tracks on each. All You Need Is Me, a reasonable plodder, is upon closer inspection of the lyrics a treatise on the type of mental illness you might expect of a third world dictator. Utter delusional drivel. He might have gotten away with that if he was headlining Glastonbury, but it seems a little... overblown... live on stage in Dunoon on a wet Tuesday night.

Now, I love Bowie; I adore Nick Cave; Polly Harvey, amongst others. If they produced material which leaves me less than thrilled I don't go racing off to one of their forums to "attack" them. I'm aware enough to know that if I don't particularly like certain tracks on Aladdin Sane or skip one or two on an acknowledged masterwork like Ziggy the chances are my hit rate on The Next Day is likely to be poorer still. My least favourite Smiths song, leaving aside the covers and instrumentals, is Death At One's Elbow from Strangeways. It's the only Smiths song I don't carry around with me. Yet it comes from what for me is their greatest album.

Am I the only person who rarely carries whole albums of any artist? I love my playlists. The playlist is an interesting thing, you know. Your taste distilled. Let me briefly go through my Morrissey albums... Viva Hate: 8 songs, Kill Uncle: 1. Your Arsenal: 4. Vauxhall: 7, Southpaw: 4, Maladjusted: 2, Quarry; 7, Ringleader; 3, Refusal, 3, B-sides, compilations and odds and sods, 40 something. My point is I've never loved everything he's ever done. You would need to be a teenage One Direction fan to have that sort of relationship with an artist. It's just that now he's hardly doing anything, and that's a waste of his huge talent.

So why do I criticise him? It's not necessarily for what he sings. How could it be? He doesn't really write songs anymore apparently. In no small part it is for what he says. A less politically aware man you would find hard to meet than Stephen Patrick Morrissey. His idiotic statements on Ireland during the Queen's visit equated essentially to a call for the return to the violence which killed more than 3000 people during my lifetime. But as if that isn't enough, we then get the seventeen year old Swedes coming on here to support his bullshit, because they don't know the facts beyond what some bloke said on TTY. And this all handed down regally (oh, the irony) from an agreeable pile overlooking Los Angeles. f*** off. Just f*** off. I won't even mention the other instances. We know what they are. They've all been well rehearsed here a hundred times.

Do I have a message for Morrissey? I suppose I do. Write some songs. Get a few new people in. When the desire strikes to make a statement on, say, an impending baby, or some islands somewhere, write it by all means, then go to bed and read it again in the morning before deciding to send it. You might well find you need to make a couple of changes. Use your fame to advocate for animals more than you currently do. If Angelina Jolie can tour the world for UNESCO without making a decent film since... (struggles to think of one... ummm... Sky Captain! That was great!) forever, so you can use your celebrity to do the same for our fellow earth dwellers. Your recent fois gras statement was perfect. Angry yet focussed, with a refreshing absence of hyperbole. More of that please.

But I suppose my main message is this: Get well. Your physical wellbeing will improve your mental wellbeing. Take some time. Come back with the album of which we know you are capable.

Interesting how the sycophants (you know who you are) find this type of speculation--that he suffers from depression--acceptable, because it somehow makes Morrissey seem vulnerable and offers a legitimate excuse for his erratic behavior. But at the same time, they cry foul, when it is asked if Morrissey may be an alcoholic or has AIDS. Why? Because those two things are not easily excusable. They are diseases that one brings upon himself/herself.

As I seem to have in part instigated this I'll respond. Criticising Morrissey is not a crime on any statute book in the world. Some of those who defend him regardless blithely say that it is fine to criticise him, and then attack anyone who does. Make up your minds.

Because it was addressing Oli-ver's post, which was about users' rudeness.

Or perhaps because David did not like this healthy debate splashed all over an article on the main page of his website...

No. He left the posts that stayed on topic and moved the ones that were mostly stemming from Oli-ver's original post about users' rudeness. Mine were moved as well.

I'm really sorry for him. I know how it feels as I had a terrible food poisoning time once in Trinidad (Cuba) and I thought I gonna die. It last me four days before I was nearly recovered. I hope HE gets well soon!
