Normal service has been resumed. Harvest Records (@harvest_records) yesterday issued this statement on twitter:

"We've taken over @itsmorrissey to protect it from interlopers. Alas, it's already time to bid farewell to the account."

I believe that the outside world was very, very close to having the real Morrissey on twitter; and I have no doubt that he would have taken the twitter world by storm, but at the last minute, there was a change of heart. Morrissey would have thought it through long and hard, and come to the conclusion that @itsmorrissey just wouldn't have given him the same sort of interaction on twitter that Parody Moz has given him. Morrissey would also have worked out that if he had started tweeting to the masses, he would have received interaction of two sorts, A) Mass fawning..... "Morrissey, you saved my life, I love you SO much", and B) Mass stupidity.... "Hey Morrissy (sic), I'm eating a huge burger. Shall I save some 4 U? Lol : )". Ultimately, despite his HUGE global success, Morrissey is NOT a celebrity, he remains an outsider, and he has found his true home in The Twitterdilly Arms.


(L TO R): FIFI, OUR MOZZER AND MORRISSEY IN THE TWITTERDILLY ARMS.... WHICH IS ONLY AS IT SHOULD BE

A very good point has been made by Morrissey through this whole @itsmorrissey twitter 'thing' tough; he has proven once again, that people really are sheep (no offence to sheep), and they will believe anything they are told if it has an official stamp, or even a semi-official stamp of authority attached to it.

Let me take our old friend @RosyMires as the perfect case point. Rosy has followed the whole MorrisseysWorld story from the very start, and came to the conclusion back in early 2012 that MW definitely wasn't Morrissey because: A) MW made fun of Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross, and B) MW showed no sympathy following the death of Whitney Houston. Rosy declared, "Morrissey just wouldn't do that", and despite ALL the evidence since; which has proven beyond all reasonable doubt that Morrissey is behind MW, Rosy simply refuses to accept it because there has been no 'official' word from Morrissey; and yet as soon as a twitter account appears with a little blue tick next to it, Rosy accepts this to be true, especially as a 'rep' (with no name) confirmed it was true via the website Pitchfork:

Rosy ‏@RosyMires  May 14

@Sberrells@el_villano Hey Moz is on twitter! Blue tick Moz!! @itsmorrissey Oh happy day!!!

Rosy ‏@RosyMires  May 14

@Sberrells@el_villano@itsmorrissey He's put a lot of fake Morrissey's out of a job!

Following the announcement that Morrissey isn't behind the @itsmorrissey account after all, Rosy is now starting to ask questions!

Rosy ‏@RosyMires  May 16

Why did Boz follow at all? Didn't it get mentioned along the way?Why wait till today to deny it?

Will Rosy, at last be able to see that not everything is all it would seem to be in Morrissey's world? And if Rosy starts to ask questions, will others also ask questions? Surely people must be able to see that none of the explanations being released by Harvest and 'Official Moz ring true? SURELY? Time, as ever....


One person who wasn't fooled by the official blue tick was @knitnurse, aka Helen Bridgwood; the wife of former Moz guitarist Jonny Bridgwood. Helen tweeted to say, "I was very surprised when everyone thought it was him." But after that tweet, it all went downhill for Helen, who followed it up with, "From what I can remember, I think he was a bit of a technophobe." And Helen continued, "He usually uses capitals."EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT MORRISSEY DOES OR DOESN'T DO, and if your husband was once in Morrissey's band four hundred and three years ago, you even become an authority on such things! *shakes head.... which thankfully is still in place after yesterday*

Meanwhile, following the death of @itsmorrissey, FTM has regained it's memory, and the old blog postings are back in situ.... although not ALL of them; Day 898 DEFINITELY remains under lock and key. My blog entries returned after I was instructed to by Our Mozzer earlier this morning:

Morrissey18 May 2014 08:48

Asked by Mikey Bracewell what he thought about FollowingTheMozziah having deleting old posts, Our Mozzer stated, between mouthfuls of fresh falafel with lime juice, rocket and vegan mayonnaise:

"What? Deleted the whole b*****d thing? The s**ding primadonna. One can't have one's hangers-on behaving with such recklessness. What next? My session musicians pulling out of my tours because they have a bit of a cough? Boz Boorer failing to turn up for a music festival because 'nobody told me I was playing?' No, no, no. This will NOT do-"

After a gulp of gin:

"Instruct the c*** to bring it back immediately... the disrespectful t***-"

There is further good news, in that not only have we not lost Our Mozzer to the masses, but following the demise of @itsmorrissey, Mademoiselle Fifi has also returned to The Arms, and yesterday came in bearing a gift of Alain Delon for Astraea:


Astraea thanked Mme Fifi for the gift of the song, saying, "Merci, pussycat! You are ALWAYS a girl after my own heart. Verrry Amalfi-Coast-meets-Alain-in-the-south-of-France, n'est ce pas? And toward the end, he huskily whisper-sings... 'if you didn't exist already, I would have invented you... ' Oh la la,.... ALAIN! And the only thing better in life than Alain being husky, would be Alain being husky next to me, in a Primrose yellow, convertible E-type. In 1967. In Biarritz."




Fifi also pulled me into the toilets of The Arms, and whispered a sweet nothing in my ear. The sweet nothing made me smile, but I cannot say any more until the sweet nothing becomes a sweet something.


I haven'tt yet mentioned the small matter of last night's concert in Denver. Unfortunately, just as with the previous night in Utah, not much video has emerged, in fact so far, just Hand in Glove. Rumour has it that Moz tripped up during the encore:



Thankfully, the Blue Rose Society Vice President, Vulgar Angie has posted her videos from Utah, including a mesmerizing version of Trouble Loves Me..... it is ALWAYS mesmerising! ALL of the other songs Angie has recorded are also mesmerizing. I LOVE Bullfighter SO much, and have been mic whipping in the garden this morning. Not real mic whipping you understand, air mic whipping, which is far more skilful than air guitar playing.

Ganglord:


Bullfighter:


WPINOYB:


Trouble:


Happen:



There has been a rather interesting write-up of the Salt Lake City concert posted on Solow by somebody calling themselves 'Old Mathew'. I wouldn't usually mention that place, but the write-up is worthy of a greater audience. It is very interesting to note that Old Mathew mentions The Bullfighter Dies, adding, "I'm a sucker for a 2 minute pop song', which is something I wrote about the same song, just the other day! Old Mathew also has GREAT recollection, remembering not only the setlist, but also ALL of Morrissey's 'speaky bits' WORD FOR WORD! Old Mathew also takes the time to mention Vulgar Angie's blue rose, letting us know that Moz ignored it, adding, "I've never made head or tails of that insane inanity". Nope, Mathew, me neither.... but we wouldn't change him for the world! There is something rather familiar about Old Mathew. Hmm:

2:11 am (Utah time): A great show. Same setlist as ABQ except he actually did drop NFD this time. So:
Hand In Glove / Speedway / Ganglord / I Have Forgiven Jesus / I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris / World Peace Is None Of Your Business / Yes, I Am Blind / Life Is A Pigsty / The Bullfighter Dies / To Give (The Reason I Live) / Meat Is Murder / Everyday Is Like Sunday / Earth Is The Loneliest Planet / Trouble Loves Me / I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday // Asleep / One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell
A good rush and a push toward the stage during One Day, with at least two people out of a half dozen making it on stage. More tomorrow. Just got back from a four hour drive home....

2:53 am (Utah time): Ok, a few more observations. I always need an hour or so to settle down before sleeping after a long drive, even if it is nearly 3 am in the hither most regions of Utah...

When he came out on stage he said, "Today is Julia's birthday, and everybody's happy."

At one point he quipped, "I come from the land of carbon monoxide. So the clear air here is [wearing me down or something similar, referring to the altitude]." He did seem slightly tired.

Before World Peace he said [paraphrasing], "Today I made a terrible mistake. I turned on the television. And the first thing I saw was an advertisement for guns and ammo. Which you would never see on British telly. The only people who own guns there are the Royal family. Barbarians, barbarians, barbarians. But then I remembered: World peace is none of your business."

He returned to the theme of watching TV in SLC before Meat is Murder. "They'd advertise meat. Then the cancer care center. Then meat. Then the cancer care center. Again and again and again [making a circular motion with his hand]. Does nobody make the connection?"

Highlights were World Peace (Jesse's solo was great), Life is a Pigsty (amazing), The Bullfighter Dies (I'm a sucker for a 2 minute pop song anyways), and Trouble Loves Me (when he gestures to the audience on the line "at your age!"). And of course Asleep.

SLC tends to be a bit muted, so the sudden explosion of ambitious stage divers during One Day was a pleasant and welcome surprise.

I've seen the man on every tour since 1991. I damn well hope there are more to come. Now I'm wishing I had booked that flight to Denver for tomorrow night….

2:59 am (Utah time): Oh, and for what it's worth, he determinedly ignored the blue rose that was held out to him, and seemed to scowl at its presentation. I've never made heads or tails of that insane inanity, but it's clear he seems annoyed by it as well (and is aware what it means).













ANGIE'S BLUE ROSE OF UTAH, WHICH DIDN'T MAKE IT TO MOZ


OLD MATHEW REVIEW CONTINUED:

Watching Life is a Pigsty -- my God that man can sing.

3:18 am (Utah time): I really shouldn't have drank that Red Bull during the last hour of the drive, though I suppose this beats waking up ensconced on a Prickly Pear cactus beside a rolled-over truck…

A final thought, and plea (for the day, there will be more pleas and perhaps even thoughts tomorrow):

I loved how he came over to shake my hand during Everyday (just after the "greased tea with me" line), and that it was caught on video… that said, I am still waiting for one of you to cough up the video of me dancing with him during King Leer at Jones Beach, 1991. Anyone, anyone? I know it exists. Or Great Woods, Mansfield, MA, 1991, during "Suedehead?" Come on, come on….

Old Mathew's comments are followed on Solow with this from Anonymous:

"Official Statement: This is NOT Old Mathew. I would like to stress that I do not drink Red Bull. I gather that someone is commenting in my name that I drank Red Bull - bit that is NOT Old Mathew. Please be aware that he is bogus. That's, of course, if you should  remotely care.

Uncommentably yours,
Old Mathew
Salt Lake City
17 May 2014

Somebody calling themselves 'Blue Rose' on Solow, then left this comment: "This is all part of the journey. if he accepts it all of the time, it would not be the same! Read Following the Mozziah; you will see!" (Ed- For the record, 'Blue Rose' isn't me.)

Uncle Skinny then threw in his view: "Just fuck off, you tiresome cunt."


Another of the spoken word promo videos has also been released onto Youtube, and this time it is The Bullfighter Dies; which is a bit of a surprise because we were expecting the next two singles to be Istanbul and Earth is the Loneliest Planet. Has there been a change of plan? I would LOVE Bullfighter to be released.












Has anybody yet managed to work out what is being sung at the end of WPINOYB? Is it a foreign tongue, or a record playing backwards?

That will do for today. @itsmorrissey is dead, but could it be that an official MorrisseysWorld is still on it's way? @MorrisseyWorld has tweeted to say, "The wait is almost over". Is Banjaxer involved? I have to say, when I first read that "Dunno" tweet from @itsmorrissey, I immediately thought it had Banjaxer's handwriting all over it!

There is no concert tonight, and tomorrow night it will be the Rococo Theatre in Lincoln Nebraska. It will also be Boz Boorer's birthday.



*Goes off singing* All in all, imagine this: Nobody loves us, Dab-hands at trouble, with four days of stubble, we are....

Blue Rose Society Review May 2014 

Morrissey and his friends sit around a mahogany table in an elegant hotel suite where he is booked for a night on his US tour. The lights are dimmed. The seminal artiste has a mild headache and sits with a damp dish cloth draped over his left eye and his right eye lid drooping down with tiredness.

"News just in, sire..." says Boz Boorer triumphantly. "The new single charted!..." He says, before stumbling slightly and pausing, clearing his throat: "...83!"

"83 000?" Asks Morrissey more in the tone of a statement. "Astonishing... that must be a number one in 2014 old friend. Boz is that right? Is 83 000 good enough for a number one single?"

Boz slides his finger along the page awkwardly, trying to read from the right location. "Just a moment, Moz," he says. "Just one moment, sir..." He studies the page closely. Morrissey rolls his eyes playfully, half-smirking. "Yes Moz! 83 000 would be a number one!"

"Well it's a Bollinger moment..." announces Morrissey. "Millions of books sold, Penguin Classic imprint.... and now one's first ever number one single... Boz get me some Bollinger from room service old friend. Let's celebrate with some Cilla Black."

Boz looks worried. "But sir-"

"-Don't question your employer's personal expenditure Boz. Now do as instructed, kindly."

Work is a four letter word fills the suite from a rather expensive sound system, as Mikey Bracewell, Jesse Tobias, Julia and the The Tour Cat exchange apprehensive glances every few seconds.

Morrissey begins clapping along to the song, apparently overjoyed. He looks almost tearful. The Tour Cat slides under a coffee table.





"Extraordinary..." utters Morrissey.

Mikey Bracewell gazes at the floor. Boz Boorer knocks and re-enters the suite, having presumably ordered Bollinger from room service. He avoided using Morrissey's personal suite telephone, as per the MorrisseyBand tour protocol and therefore used the one in the corridor instead, to avoid adding unnecessary charges to the iconic star's bill.

Boz sits down at the laptop computer. He begins perusing the world wide web.

As the next song begins - Death by Klaus Nomi - a small bead of sweat is seen trickling down Boorer's face, meandering like a small stream between rocks.

"Sir..." says Boz. "When I said 83, sir-"

"-Shut up Boz. No speaking during Nomi."

Boz Boorer nods. Had he been in the rhythm section that would have been an instant fine. Fortunately speaking fines did not apply to the musical director, lead guitarist or keyboard player. This thought provided momentary comfort to Boz as he wondered what to do.

"Theses number one is amazing then Morr-ee-say," says Jesse Tobias. "Eet is no more than you deserve, my friend. Well with theses amazing words thanks to you, my friend, and this amazing music, thanks to me, this is why you succeed..."

"Uhm, yes..." murmurs Morrissey with an unconvinced look, He gazes at Jesse and then looks at the floor.

"Eet is my gift to you Morr-ee-say."



Morrissey checks the time.

"Any reviews of my new songs on the world wide dread yet Boz?"

"Erm... yes, sir... erm.... here's one from one of your longest-serving fans, sire..."

"Longest-serving, Boz? You make him sound like an inmate... which I suppose he is... of sorts," smirks the artiste.

"Shall I read it aloud, sir? It sounds very positive from the first few lines.... very fair..."

"Oh..." says Morrissey, feigning boredom. "Oh.... go on then!"


" In 'World Peace Is None Of Your Business' a multi-millionaire ex pop-star is watching CNN in a luxury hotel suite." Boz Boorer begins: "It depresses him so he writes a polemical lyric advising his cult 'clueless consumer' fans to withdraw from political activity, as politics is pointless. Taxation is also pointless. They are "poor fools". He finds an old cassette tape with a dull leaden thumping track which he absent-mindedly drones the lyrics along to. It takes about 20 minutes to finish, which is good as room service will soon be arriving with his dinner."

Morrissey's only visible eye closes slightly. "Broken..." he murmurs. Boz Boorer, realising that his master is angry, gulps. He hesitates.

"Go on.... read out the rest," Morrissey says calmly and firmly. "That s***ing c***" He mutters. "...C***"

""Earth Is The Loneliest Planet" A multi-millionaire ex pop-star has switched off the telly in a luxury hotel suite. He notices that he has failed to find love and concludes that the universe is to blame. He is moved to write yet another lyric signalling to his cult 'clueless consumers' that romantic love is pointless and/or unachievable. If they have married and had children, they are misguided. He makes a note to invite Kristeen Young back into the fold as she also has no truck with successful marital arrangements and progeny type stuff.

"The Bullfighter Dies" A multi-millionaire ex pop-star switches the telly back on in a luxury hotel suite to watch a documentary on bull-fighting but it's in Spanish so he switches it off. His suite has a small library. He flicks distractedly at a poem by Federico García Lorca called "Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías" which was mentioned in the documentary, but it's too complicated and gives him a head-ache. He picks up his pencil and The Muses strike. He writes the definitive lyric about this annoying sport.

Years later he remembers this astonishing burst of creativity and summons his band to a recording studio. In the limousine he realises he has put the wrong lyric to the wrong cassette. The 'Spanish-y' tune has somehow gotten the lyric about doomed romantic love when he meant to use its faux-flamenco for the Bullfighter one. Then he remembers he was a bit pissed the night he composed these staggering works of heart-breaking genius. He sighs and decides it doesn't matter anyway. His cult 'clueless consumer' fans will lap it up like everything else as they are 'poor fools' who pay taxes. And 'rebel' by purchasing concert tickets and CDs to listen to 'protest singers' in the "Bread and Circuses" economy of collapsing empire:"

"I'll get that b*****d," Morrissey says. "What name is he using these days Boz?"

"BrummieBoy, sir."

"Any reviews NOT from my fans?" asks Morrissey with a cynical tone of resignation.

Mikey Bracewell gives knowing half-smile and a prim nod.



"Well, sir..." stutters Boz Boorer. "Factmag.com says... Morrissey took a brief respite from making inflammatory statements to announce his new album, World Peace Is None Of Your Business, last month.

Produced by Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, Tori Amos, The Shins), Morrissey is said to be "beyond ecstatic" with the follow-up to 2009′s Years of Refusal. The album is due out in July via Capitol's Harvest imprint, and we now have the tracklist, via True To You.... Oh this isn't a review, sir-"

Morrissey rolls his eyes, before remembering a damp cloth is draped over one of them. The cloth falls to the floor.

"Look what you've b******d made me do now, Boz," blurts out the seminal artiste angrily. "Pick it up and find me a fresh one would you please Julia? There's a nice friend..."

"Oh yes, Morrissey, oh yes, let me find you a new cloth, Morrissey," says Julia effusively, before leaning towards the iconic star and hugging him. Morrissey gives an uncomfortable look as she does so, pulling back slightly, but placing his hand on her back, patting it.



As the hug drags on, Morrissey mutters, "Aren't you forgetting something?" to Julia. She glances blankly at him.

"The damp cloth...?" he murmurs softly.

"I almost forgot!" She says.

Julia leaves the suite.

"Can't get the s***ing staff these days," sighs Morrissey just after the door closes, licking his lips.

A knock at the door: "Room service!"

"Come in" replies Morrissey with English reserve.

A smartly-dressed gentleman with a fixed smile carries in a bottle of expensive champagne on ice. He grins even more broadly, showing impeccable porcelain, and places several flutes on the table with great elegance. He offers to pour the champagne, but Morrissey places his hand softly over the flute.

"I'll do that, thanks all the same," Morrissey says. Taking the bottle, he pours a splash into each flute in turn. Then he fills his own flute up to the brim. "This is the life... but of course one doesn't have a number one single in England every day of the week..."

"You're number one in the British chart?" asks the gentleman with a strong southern twang.

"Apparently so-" murmurs Morrissey with a self-deprecating shrug.

"I just wanted to say I really loved Astral Weeks," says the room service bod with a look of admiration in the eye.

Morrissey grasps his flute of champagne and takes a large mouthful.

"This bloody hotel..." he mutters.

Room service turns and leaves, looking offended.

"Delightful champagne," says Mikey Bracewell, quaffing from the flute.

Morrissey downs his flute in one. "Well, not bad."

Jesse Tobias hums 'World Peace is None of Your Business' and taps his fingers on his green leather arm-rest.

Morrissey glowers at him, but Jesse doesn't notice.

"I notice you've deleted your twitter account and blog again, Morr-ee-say" says Mikey.

"Yes," mutters Morrissey distractedly, wishing Jesse would cease and desist from humming a classic pop song and UK number one single. "What's the point when the b*****ds all ignore me anyway? More wit than Mr Wilde, more immediacy than Joey Essex, more poetry than Twitter could ever have imagined... all in mesmerizing 140 character literary outbursts from Old Bigmouth, yet... it's like I hardly even exist..."

"I think your fans will only believe it's you if you obtain a blue verified tick on your account," says Mikey thoughtfully. "Unfortunately in a world where people have so little time, they're looking for easy answers and uncomplicated entertainment. Who you are matters much more than what you say."

"Sir," says Boz, butting in. "... P'raps you could switch over to the itsMorrissey account with your wit and literally genius, sire..."

Boz looks quite proud of his suggestion, his eyebrows raised in frozen anticipation.

Mikey Bracewell smiles. "I don't think that's terribly Morrissey Boz. Morrissey just wouldn't do that-"

"-It's brilliant, Boz. Yes, yes, yes. Morrissey would never use a verified account, just as Morrissey would never use twitter, just as Morrissey would never used Americanized spellings in his writing, or wear a blue rose during a live concert... yes, yes, yes.... "

Mikey Bracewell stops shaking his head and nods softly. Jesse Tobias continues humming his first UK number one.

"...Sometimes the most Morrisseyesque thing one can do is the last thing Morrissey would ever do," announces Morrissey.

"But you've already denied it's you, Morr-ee-say," says Mikey.

"Which would make it even more Morrisseyesque," says Morrissey.

"Quite brilliant," says Mikey.

"The old enigmatic otherness factor.... doing what Morrissey would never do...outflanking Uncle Scummy... and that man... who of course both know how to be me far more than I ever could..."

"Yes, sir, that's right sir, how wise of you to say so, sir," says Boz. "...that doing something unMorrisseyesque is much more Morrisseyesque, sir. Like that time you apologised to Sir Elton John, Moz, so that he'd play at Meltdown Festival, sir, even though he didn't play in the end, but even then only because he had no idea who you were, sire, not because he hated you, or thought your recent songs were rubbish, sir..."

Morrissey licks his lips.

"... in fact how would he even have known that your recent songs weren't very good if he didn't even know who you are, sir?..."

Morrissey continues licking his lip and his eyes close slightly.

"...But anyway, sir, apologising to Sir Elton after saying you wanted his head served on a platter, just so you could have him at Meltdown and make sure all those empty seats got filled, sir... well, that was a masterstroke sir... so unlike you that it surprised everybody, and showed that Morrissey can never be predicted, just can't be predicted... he can't actually be predicted, there's absolutely no way he can be predicted, it's just not possible to predict him. You see, he's just not possible to-"

"-Boz f*** off."

Boz Boorer rubs his cheek and sighs plaintively.

"Still, good news about the number one," says Morrissey. "Let's write a TTY statement, not too triumphalist..."

Morrissey pauses. He looks irked and brushes his nose with his right index finger. Then he snaps his fingers.



Mikey Bracewell, suddenly alert to the situation, jumps up and begins searching for a pen and paper.

"Morrissey is overjoyed at the news of his first ever number one single in England," begins Morrissey, as Mikey gives up looking for paper and begins writing on the back of his hand. "Despite no radio play, zero promotion and a backing band of jaded session musicians..."

Morrissey19 May 2014 10:41

Mikey pauses.

"Actually delete that last bit. Something more dignified.... uhmmm.... Despite no radio play, zero promotion, and a band of talentless c***s."

Morrissey laughs.

"No, no no," he smiles, gazing at Jesse. "That wouldn't be fair."

"Despite no radio play, zero promotion, and the same musicians so widely and unfairly criticised in the music press, Morrissey is once again thrilled to be among the top of the charts and thanks his musicians for all their hard work and..."

Morrissey gazes pityingly towards Boz Boorer.

"... and their best efforts in creating a four minute pop gem."

"I'll email that to Julia," says Mikey.

"...I've just realised you're NOT Morrissey," says Boz Boorer. "You can't be Morrissey, sir, because everyone knows you said the itsMorrissey twitter account wasn't you, but in this parody story, sir, I notice that you seem to suggest it might have been you after all. So I conclude you aren't really Morrissey, but an imposter and liar, sire..."

"Boz I've been paying your wages for twenty years, not to mention carrying you musically and socially. I am Morrissey. We met over twenty years ago, old son. Don't you remember, Boz?"



"But you can't be Morrissey, sir, because the real Morrissey has already announced ItsMorrissey isn't him.... on True To You... and in today's parody piece you lost the suspension of disbeliefness, sir, by saying something that didn't quite tally with true to you, sir... by discussing how you'd use ItsMorrissey, even though True To You said it wasn't you at all. Now, I know True to you is Morrissey's official site, so that means you can't be Morrissey, sire, you just can't be, because Morrissey wouldn't lie...."

Boz Boorer looks deep in thought, and rather distressed.

"Have I been working for a parody for all these years? Could Rosy Mires be right after all? Am I even really in the band that's at number 83 in the British charts-"

"-Number 83, Boz?"

"Yes, sir. I tried to tell you earlier when-"

"-Did you say, number 83? "

"Yes sir."

Mikey Bracewell looks at his fingernails with a solemn expression.

Morrissey spits out into his flute with some force. Then he carefully pours the contents of the other men's flutes back into the champagne bottle, along with his expectorated champagne-infused saliva.

"Room service!" He shouts. "This bottle is corked!"

Silence.

"Room service!"

Morrissey hurls the bottle of champagne at the wall. Boz Boorer ducks. The bottle smashes, and champagne runs down the wallpaper.

"Eighty b******d three. Cancel that TTY statement. Someone will pay for this... b*****d record company... they're all the s**ding same..."

"I blame Broken, sir," says Boz. "After all, sir, if he hadn't told everyone on Morrissey solo, disguised as BrummieBoy of course, sir, how bad your new songs are, some of them might never have noticed how bad they are, sir.. and then you might have got a slightly better chart position, more fitting for your new song, sir, like forty three or something, a bit like Satan Rejected My Soul, sire, back in the 1990s, the last time you were irrelevant..."

Morrissey lunges at Boz Boorer.

(The above parody piece was submitted to FTM (with LOADS of amendments) by Morrissey on May 19 between 9am-11am (3am-5am Lincoln Nebraska time..... which obviously means that it cannot have been the real Morrissey because the real Morrissey would NEVER be up writing a parody story for a two bit fan blog at that time of day when he has a concert in the evening!)

Day 979 - NEVER interrupt a Morrissey story

I had no intention of writing today, as I have an all day cricket match to go and watch, but there are a few things that MUST be mentioned today:

1. The Thrill
2. The Bore
3. The Denver Fall
4. Istanbul, Someday & Light


1. The Thrill
Yesterday morning I was absolutely thrilled to receive an exclusive parody piece written by Morrissey for my blog. Over a two hour period, a whole series of postings were made in the comments section of Day 966, and it turned out to be one of Morrissey's funniest works yet. I added some pictures and published the exclusive at 3.30pm. It is incredibly disappointing that to date, the piece has received just 280 hits, and 26 comments; of which only 13 of the comments are in relation to the actual parody! I advertised on twitter that MORRISSEY had written an exclusive parody piece, but as I don't even have 100 followers, NOBODY saw, and NOBODY came. One day, one day, one day.


2. The Bore
The latest Morrissey concert took place last night at the Rococo Theatre in Lincoln Nebraska. As usual, I have had to resort to visiting the Solow place to get information, because there is STILL no alternative.... Come on MorrisseysWorld.Com, the world needs you. it would appear that somebody in Lincoln made the HUGE mistake of interrupting Moz mid story, and the even BIGGER mistake of shouting "boring". It transpires that the "boring" may have been in reference to the long drive from Denver to Lincoln, but Morrissey certainly didn't see it that way, and not only refused to sing Everyday is Like Sunday, but also cut the show short, and apparently didn't speak to the audience again. This is obviously all hearsay, as I wasn't in Lincoln last night, but here is a write up from a Solower called dewdrop, along with a video clip of Everyday is like Sunday:

Setlist:
Hand In Glove
All You Need is Me
I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
Ganglord
Speedway
Everyday Is Like Sunday*
World Peace Is None of Your Business
I Have Forgiven Jesus
Life Is a Pigsty
The Bullfighter Dies
Yes, I Am Blind
Meat Is Murder
Trouble Loves Me
Earth is the Loneliest Planet
I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday

First off, here's the deal on tonight's controversy: After Speedway, Morrissey addressed the audience by beginning "On our drive today from Denver to Lincoln..." when an audience member yelled "It's boring!" to which Morrissey, at this point in a playful mode, responded with, "I'm sorry, I'm boring?" Then he started again "On our drive today from Denver to Lincoln..." when, you guessed it, some OTHER genius in the audience yelled, "It's boring!" To which Morrissey replied with something like, "You know what, never mind." He then turned his back to the crowd as Everyday Is Like Sunday began. When the time for the first verse began, and the entire audience was singing it, Morrissey refused to sing. He motioned to the crowd to continue and even then said, "You do it... I'm too boring."

The show was off to a rip-roaring start with Morrissey's voice sounding as good as I've ever heard it. Yes. I'm not sure if the day off helped or some vocal coaching after last year's ailments, or what...all I know is that Morrissey's voice is even better than we all know it is. The energy was amazing, the band was tight, Mozzer was on a roll before the audience interruptions began...and sadly, that's when ALL the wind was taken out of the sail of this concert. Not one time for the rest of the set did he say another word into the microphone. Thankfully, he was a professional and continued to give each song his vocal best...for which I was grateful because his voice sounded great. But, he spent more time with his back to the audience for the remainder of the show than he did facing it. No more handshakes. Nothing playful with the band. He clearly felt seriously disrespected.

Background on this part of the country: EVERYONE who lives in Nebraska has grown up with this line in their repertoire: "I love going to Colorado, but the drive from here to Denver is SO BORING!" I'm not kidding when I say everyone says and/or thinks that. It's one of our colloquialisms. Unfortunately, there is NO WAY a dude from Manchester, England could be aware of this. So when these guys were yelling "It's boring" they were trying to finish Mozzer's sentence "On our drive from Denver to Lincoln today...IT WAS BORING." What Moz interpreted...and why wouldn't he?...was "This little story you're trying to tell is boring." I'm assuming he was going to go with the "On our drive from Denver to Lincoln today it was sad to see so many cows in so many feedlots," etc., given a similar post from his show the other night. But we'll never know, now.

Fully annoyed, Moz cut Everyday Is Like Sunday short...just stopped it before the grand finale. Inbetween songs you could sense the crowd was getting worried about the whole "boring" exchange and people began yelling, "The DRIVE is boring, NOT you, Morrissey!" But he wasn't listening, and it was never resolved.

As I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday was beginning, Morrissey walked to the back left corner of the stage and said something in the ear of the stage manager. I was hoping that it was, "This is our last one before the encore." But alas, it was "This is our last one OF THE NIGHT." As ...Someday ended, Morrissey left the stage, the lads finished the music and walked off, and the dreaded opera music began as the house lights kicked on and the tour crew ran onstage and started unplugging everything. A very hopeful crowd stuck around for 15 minutes cheering and screaming for Morrissey, but the folks who had been to Morrissey concerts in the past knew good and well that it was over.

My take on the exchange is this: Morrissey has earned the right to expect respect from an audience when he's trying to say something to them. Period. The drunk assholes who thought they were being funny by screaming out "It's boring" are the ones to blame for tonight's amazing-then-turned-dud show. Morrissey played the remainder of his 15-song pre-encore set as he did the prior two shows, but, and rightly so, he chose not to come out for an encore. Encores are rewards for fans who were awesome during a concert.

There are going to be "Morrissey is a diva" stories all over the place on this one, and I believe that storyline is unfounded.

Tidbits, in no particular order:
*Meat Is Murder was incredible. I believe this band's rendition--on THIS tour--is better than The Smiths'. The video is powerful and just fine.
*The Rococo Theater is an old, downtown opera-house-style theater that has the beautiful, ornate decor. The problem with it, however, and I'd be curious to find out if this also roiled Morrissey a bit, is that the back-half of the floor section is full of permanently built-in restaurant-style tables and chairs and restaurant-style booths and tables. It's my understanding when this venue was remodeled in recent years they added this permanent seating because they wanted to host wedding and business receptions. 90% of the people, I'm told, who had reserved seats at these tables sat for the entire show. It's not like they were being disrespectful or not "into it," but rather the configuration just didn't allow for it. So between the stage and this "sitting" area you had the typical "orchestra floor" area for the standing crowd. But from my seat (first row, center of the balcony) the orchestra standing area looked half full. From the stage you would have seen a decent standing crowd, then a space in the floor, and then half a room seated in tables and booths. The entire balcony stood for the whole show, and it was about 3/5 full. Not an ideal venue, in my opinion. (Reminded me of the debacle in 2007 in Atlanta when Morrissey played an outdoor venue with permanent eating tables filling the area where normally you'd stand--that was later blamed on his manager not researching the venue better.)
*Seen Kristeen Young open 4 times now. The first 3 I'd describe as terrible. This time: Great. The difference? She added a bass player and drummer so now the songs have some much-needed dynamic rhythm support. She looked and sounded quite amazing, really. It was a nice surprise and left me asking the question: Who in pop music right now can claim to be a BETTER singer than her?
*They release some sort of perfume/cologne scent before Morrissey comes out. It was subtle, but it was wonderful. Might be easier to detect in the balcony versus the floor, but there's no doubt something was emitted for effect.
*There will be little changes to the setlist as there is a highly coordinated light show that now is synced with every song. Lights going on/off on specific downbeats of specific songs, etc. Of the live shows in which I've seen Morrissey, this is BY FAR the most coordinated, comprehensive "show."
*The new songs are amazing live.
*People have been critical of the show not having enough "rockers" or that the back-half of the setlist loses momentum. I completely disagree. If you're there to see/hear Morrissey...this is a GREAT setlist. Plus, the band (Boz?) have changed up the normal arrangements of the regulars so they sound quite fresh.
*Was honored (and then a little disappointed in the outcome!) to have my 14 and 13-year old daughters with me, attending their first concert. Their reactions when Moz took the stage were Top 5 moments for me. In the end, these concerts are amazing when one considers, as my 13-year-old put it, "I can't believe I'm in the same room as Morrissey singing Life Is a Pigsty with him."

MORRISSEY - LINCOLN

EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY:



The only other video to emerge from last night is this superb rendition of I HAVE FORGIVEN JESUS, which I once read somebody describe as "probably one of the best songs ever written by anybody ever!":



3. The Denver Fall
Morrissey took a tumble during the encore in Denver on Saturday night, but he bounced back up, saying, "We're tough. I can take it":



I listened to the whole audio of the Denver concert whilst laying in the bath on Sunday evening, and it was one of the best. Morrissey seemed in excellent spirits, and opened the evening by announcing, "If yore lOOking for Trouble, you've come to the right place", and after singing Trouble later on in the evening, Moz signed off with a "merci", which some of the Blue Rose Society members have taken as a nod to the BRS, because Trouble is our theme tune and..... we are ALL French; well, at least our resident Can-Can girl, Fifi is! Every song sung in Denver was a belter:

BLIND:



SUNDAY:



MEAT:



ASLEEP:




4. Istanbul, Someday and Light
Three new videos have emerged, including the new spoken word video for Istanbul, which once again, is VERY David Lynch, and the mysterious V.M.B has left this comment on yesterday's FTM blog entry: "It must be noted that the persistent clicking of the record player which has finished a record at the end of the Istanbul promo is coincidentally a hint to Twin Peaks. Over on twitter, the director of the said promo, Natalie Johns (@DigForFire), has told @EricaCalil, "We shot it in Frank's old studio but it's not him on the gramophone - that's an old record I found by Henry Burr." I have sent a tweet to Natalie asking if Morrissey had told her he wanted a "Twin Peaks feel". I wonder if she will reply to me?

The new Istanbul single has also been released, and it is a very moving song about a brown eyed boy whose mother dies during childbirth, and whose father is too young to look after him, so the boy lives as a prostitute on the streets of Istanbul. The story is told from the point of the father who wants to find his son, but by the time he does find him, he is laying in a coffin. It's a sad but beautiful song. Will it reach higher than Number 83 in the UK chart? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares?



Another video to appear on Youtube yesterday, is a new PETA cartoon, which has I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday playing, and shows the story of how chicks and chickens are killed. The aim is to get people to turn vegan. Some of us have to stop eating the chicken before we think about the egg. It's an addiction, and a hard habit to break, but one day, one day, one day. :



And I shall leave today with Miley Cyrus, who last night sang There is a light that never goes out. Miley has quoted Smiths songs before, so is obviously a fan. How long before Justin Bieber discovers Moz? One day, one day, one day.

AGENDA

1. Concert
2. Istanbul 
3. The Twitterdilly Arms

1. Concert
There is very little information filtering through from the Morrissey concert at Liberty Hall in Lawrence Kansas last night, although according to reports, Morrissey tossed his shirt into the crowd for the first time on this tour. Could it be that Morrissey responded to all the requests of the female members of the Blue Rose Society? Frink Moz has returned.

Morrissey allegedly opened the evening by saying, "You can do anything you want to me, but don't send me back to Lincoln Nebraska". This comment led that woman to tweet, "Sigh. Sad for the Moz fans there. Roman justice. One or two misinterpreted, probably well-intended, badly-timed shout-outs. Whole audience punished. Sad." Uncle Scummy would be proud of her, and would have been further impressed by another tweet which read, "After Lincoln, worried. People of Flint best get word-perfect on all songs and only shout out the words "I love you Moz". HOW do Morrissey fans manage to turn so bitter towards him? HOW? And WHY? 

It would appear that Lawrence received Lincoln's encore, as Morrissey opened the show with One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell. You have to smile. If the setlist from Setlist.Com is correct, it looks like I Know it's Gonna Happen Someday was dropped from the set yesterday, but there was a welcome return for National Front Disco, although as there is no Youtube footage of ANY song, I suppose it is irrelevant to me if it was played or not!

One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell

Earth Is the Loneliest Planet
Everyday Is Like Sunday

Yes, I Am Blind
Meat Is Murder

MORRISSEY IN LAWRENCE KANSAS



2. Istanbul
The new Istanbul single is now available for the whole world to buy, and despite having had NO promotion whatsoever, it is currently sitting at Number 63 in the UK I tunes chart. Morrissey hasn't yet played the song live, and hasn't even mentioned on TTY that it is available to download. I wrote last week that it would be interesting to see if Istanbul fairs better in the chart than WPINOYB, seeing as NOBODY has had the chance to download it for free, although I have noticed this morning that 'TheAmbitiousOutsider' has loaded the song onto Youtube, which means that a number of people will no doubt download it for free, thus effecting it's chart position. The music industry has got a long way to go to stop piracy.


Natalie Johns (@DigForFire) has responded to my question about the spoken word videos having a Twin Peaks feel. Here is her reply: "We wanted to do something different. It was Morrissey's idea to read his lyrics, I created the stories and mood around them. There was no mention of a twin peaks mood. I did however want a more surreal tome to the films. I like the reference though! I can't remember the name of the Burr track - it was in a collection of very old records I found with the gramophone."

3. The Twitterdilly Arms
I have run out of time. I shall have to write about yesterday's visit to The Arms by Fifi, Astraea and the new pessoa, '@TheRatsTalisman' tomorrow.

My twitter timeline is full of birthday wishes for Morrissey, who turns 55 today, but I didn't start writing my blog for Morrissey, I started writing it for the genius who is behind MorrisseysWorld, and although he is probably too modest to mention it, I am guessing that today is his birthday too, so to the hairy-backed bedsit dweller, if you happen to be reading this, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLD ****!" And what better present to give a hairy-backed loner in a bedsit, than a song about blow-up dolls.... In Every Dream Home a Heartache:



Interestingly enough, it was brought to my attention yesterday; whilst reading concert comments on Solow... but don't tell anybody, that one of Morrissey's pre-concert videos is The Seven Deadly Finns by Brian Eno. I was not familiar with this song from 1974, but having now listened to it, I have discovered that it is a song about.... FRENCH GIRLS! This has to be a Morrissey nod to Mademoiselle Fifi, Astaea, and the Twitterdilly Arms, it just has to be!:












BB - A FRENCH GIRL WITH ROSES ON HER DRESS

Right then, birthday wishes have been sent, so I shall now turn my thoughts to MorrisseysWorld and Morrissey's World?

The MorrisseysWorld blog remains closed, and there has been no sign of @MorrisseyParody in The Arms. We shall have to see if he pops in for a birthday drink! The website MorrisseysWorld.Com is still linking straight to TTY, so still nobody knows if this website and associated twitter account is anything to do with MorrisseysWorld or Morrissey's World... or NEITHER! Is it going to be a parody account, i.e. MorrisseysWorld but on a more professional scale, or is it going to be a Morrissey backed site to replace TTY, or perhaps it is going to be a fan site to replace Solow? Nobody knows.... well, SOMEBODY knows, but as yet there is still NOTHING! I was hoping that the website might have sprung into life on Morrissey's birthday, but that hasn't happened.

So, with MorrisseysWorld remaining quiet, what about Morrissey's World? There was no concert last night, and still no Youtube footage has emerged from the Liberty Hall concert in Lawrence, but that is hardly surprising bearing in mind that ALL videoing/photographing equipment was banned.
























The only footage I have seen at all from Lawrence, is an Instagram clip of First of the Gang to Die and a brief piece of Ganglord on Youtube:



And whilst on the subject of Ganglord, a clip of it being sung in El Paso on May 13 has at last found it's way onto Youtube, along with a number of other songs from that concert, including Girl Least Likely To, which hasn't been sung at any other concert on this tour. Morrissey opens Ganglord with a couple of "God help me"'s:

GANGLORD:


SPEEDWAY (INCLUDING A SORT OF BARKING NOISE DURING THE PAUSE!):


GIRL LEAST LIKELY TO:


GLOVE:


SUNDAY:


Yesterday I wrote that Natalie Johns had tweeted me to say that Twin Peaks had not been mentioned by Morrissey during their discussions for the spoken word videos, but what I forgot to mention was that according to Natalie, four were shot in total, and there is a "great surprise in the final one." Presumably the final one will be for Earth is the Loneliest Planet. We like surprises around here.

I also wrote yesterday that there has been a new visitor to The Twitterdilly Arms, in the shape of @TheRatsTalisman. I presumed that Talisman was another Moz pessoa, only because as soon as Talisman had come and gone, Mademoiselle Fifi and Astraea both turned up, but I am now wondering if that was just a coincidence; after all, coincidences happen a lot around here. I note form my twitter timeline that Talisman, Fifi and Astraea appeared in The Arms again yesterday.

Talisman arrived in The Arms on Tuesday, asking Parody Moz to give a sign to ME! I have no idea what sort of sign my Talisman is asking for, but we shall have to see if his request is granted. Talisman also came bearing a gift; a new t-shirt design, which combines the Twin Peaks blue rose, with the wording given to us by Fifi.... or was it Parody Moz... or Astraea? I genuinely lose track of who says what around here! Here is Tali's design:


THE PERFECT BLUE ROSE SOCIETY SHIRT, COMBINING TWIN PEAKS WITH MORRISSEYSWORLD

I am hoping that either @MadAlix14 or @Heathercat222 will get the shirt made, and get it to Moz. Tali suggested another idea, "Perhaps an LP with a "Blue Rose" on the cover may get Moz's attention. Then offer the rose. 1 good LP sized print inside a plastic dust cover with the LP may do the trick. I am thinking getting Moz's attention and interest is most of the battle. Then he may accept."

On Talisman's second visit to The Arms, he brought with him these rather amusing photos:







Talisman also offered these words, "I ask @MorrisseyParody to grant @TheRatsBack a sign." He also added, "Decisions. Should I wear a red suit to the shows and wear a mask like in Twin Peaks, or just roll with a tee shirt and my leopard print pants." Actually, as I re-read through these tweets, I have changed my mind, I DON'T think Talisman is a pessoa after all. A certain person would NEVER write tee shirt, and he also posted a photo of him holding a tarot card. Those fingers are all wrong, as are the dreadful wooden rails behind!:



Fifi's visits have been fairly brief. On Tuesday she criticised my French, instructing me to "Give up"!
Astraea on the other hand was more annoyed at @BestOscarWilde, asking, "@BestOscarWilde WHY is this on my TL from you "Ever got drunk and texted mom fantasies about GF?"?! You are perhaps Wilde's Worst Nightmare."

I guess that the person behind the @BestOscarAccount has let their own personality get in the way of the part they are supposedly playing. This also happened last Friday, at the Smyths concert I went to watch at the Wedgewood Rooms. During the set, the guy playing the part of a '1983-1987 Morrissey', decided to call UKIP "scum". Not only were UKIP not in existence between 1983-1987; thus leaving his comment out of context in the role he was playing, but also, both TRM and Parody Moz have shown support for UKIP, which means the Smyths singer has not done his homework very well.

Morrissey told Loaded magazine in an interview last year, "I nearly voted UKIP. I like Nigel Farage a great deal. His views are quite logical - especially where Europe is concerned." Parody Moz echoed Morrissey's views last week, stating "Who will you be voting for in the Euro 'elections?' UKIP I hope?"

Apart from the Smyths lead singer not playing his role very well, I had an enjoyable evening, with the highlight being What Difference Does it Make. Will Moz EVER sing it again? The next time I will be visiting the Wedgewood Rooms, is in August, to watch Johnny Marr. I was hoping that Mademoiselle Fifi would be accompanying me, but she has blown me out. Perhaps she has a Can-Can lesson on that day. I will be going to watch Johnny Marr with an open mind, but sometimes I do think he is trying just a little bit too hard to be cool. The other day on twitter, JM was asked by @AChubbySquirrel "out of all the bands you've been in, which one was your favourite?" Johnny relied, "My new one and Modest Mouse." Hmm.

Astraea's other contributions in The Arms have been mainly music related, with her, as always, playing the best songs on the jukebox:





When I went to bed last night, Morrissey's touching new single, Istanbul, was sitting at Number 106 in the I tunes chart. This morning, it has disappeared from sight, so I think it is safe to say that it won't be troubling the chart on Sunday. There has still been NO promotion whatsoever for it, NO live plays of it, NO physical release, NO reminder through TTY that it is available to download, and the record company have still not removed the song from Youtube, so the world and it's wife are able to download it for free..... if the world and it's wife happen to want it!

Tonight, the birthday boy will be singing in Dallas Texas. There have been NO blue roses at the last few concerts, and I don't know of any BRS members going to watch in Dallas, so there will no doubt be NO blue rose there either. WHERE is the next blue rose coming from?









BLUE ROSE CAKE BY WILLOW, BIT WHERE IS THE NEXT ROSE COMING FROM?

The Twitterdilly Arms is open for an all day private function..... Parody Morrissey's birthday! Actually, it ISN'T private, it is very much PUBLIC, but I doubt many will come. Will Parody Moz even come? Today is also Euro Election Day in the UK, and although I never vote, I might just pop into the polling station on my way to the Twit Arms, and cast a vote for Moz..... for UKIP. I doubt anybody else will give him their vote for his birthday..... OR buy his latest single for that matter!

Goodnight.

11:12 STOP PRESS: Radio 2 have just played Morrissey's spoken word version of Istanbul..... but DIDN'T play the actual song! ****s!

(The setting is a bedroom of a luxury hotel in Dallas Texas. It is 4.30 am, present day. Iconic pop star, Morrissey, and his musical director Boz Boorer, are in bed. Boz is fast asleep. Morrissey is watching a video on Youtube. He elbows Boz hard in the ribs.)


L TO R: MOZ AND BOZ


BOZ: (eyes still closed, and sounding disorientated) Eh? What is... who went where?

MOZ: That is quite possibly the most intelligent sentence that you have ever uttered, old son. Wake yourself up, I need wafting, and I need you to look at this.

BOZ: Eh?

MOZ: Wafting, Boz. It's hot in here, I need a waft. Grab a palm leaf and waft away.

BOZ: I haven't got a palm leaf, Moz, and I'm not your wafter, I'm your musical director.

MOZ: Which is why I have woken you. Have you seen this video? (Morrissey hands Boz his iPad, which is playing a song called Unknown Species by Pretty Little Demons. Boz rubs his eyes and watches for about 30 seconds.)



BOZ: Yes, you showed it to me yesterday.

MOZ: (Sounding irritated) How?

BOZ: How?

MOZ: (still irritated) Yes Boz, how?

BOZ: How what?

MOZ: (even more irritated) How has a twelve year old girl managed to get Log Lady to appear on her Twin Peaks based pop video Boz? How?

BOZ: I suppose she just asked her.

(Morrissey looks to the ceiling, and rolls his tongue around the inside of his cheek)

MOZ: Then why didn't you ask her to appear in my Twin Peaks based videos? Can you imagine the impact the spoken word video of World Peace is None of Your Business would have had on sales, if Log Lady had recited the lyrics whilst stroking her log? If I'd had Margret Lanterman and her log rather than Nancy and her sodding brief case, World Peace would have gone viral. Forget number eighty bastard three, I'd have had my first number 1. Same for Istanbul; which despite being yet another piece of hard hitting poetical beauty by you know who, is heading absolutely nowhere near the sodding charts.

BOZ: Istanbul's had 49,000 hits Moz! That ain't bad! 5,000 more than your first one, and it's only been out a few days.

MOZ: Ain't bad? Ain't bad? How many hits has old Coldvoice had with that nauseating song of his?

BOZ: Which one?

MOZ: (shouting) The elephant one, Boz, the sodding elephant one!

(Boz types elephant Coldplay video into Google)

BOZ:  279 million, 904 thousand, 406.

MOZ: Now that ain't bad, Boz, and the song is appalling. Appalling! Log Lady's talents have been completely and utterly wasted on those two girls. How many hits has their video had?

(Boz goes back a page)

BOZ: 9,287.

(Morrissey puts his head in his hands)

MOZ: Losing Françoise was bad enough, but log Lady too! Why me? Why is it always me?

BOZ: What do you mean, Moz?

MOZ: You wouldn't understand Boz, you wouldn't understand. I'm going back to sleep.

Parody Moz didn't make it into The Twitterdilly Arms for his birthday party yesterday, so it took place without him. A fairly good crowd piled in, which included Mademoiselle Fifi, but she stormed out when somebody decided to start playing Wham! songs on the jukebox. The joke has worn thin, and the playing of Wham! songs is now strictly prohibited in The Arms.

Fifi did very briefly pop back in, to post that Pretty Little Demons song which is featured in today's parody piece. I have never heard of the group before, but it transpires that it is made up of 11 year old Marlhy Murphy and 13 year old Lydia Night. To have managed to get Catherine E. Coulson to reprise her role as Log Lady is quite some coup, and why no other group have thought to do this before is bizarre. I, like Moz, blame Boz. Well somebody has to take the blame!


Astraea popped into The Arms at 4.30am (Dallas time) today, and posted this: "Urgent Vacancy: Manservant. Apply within. Bring references, champagne, grapes, and palm leaves. And a tray of cold drinks." I am guessing that a good night was had by all. Nobody replied to Astraea's posting, so she followed it up with: "18 minutes and not one single applicant. Just can't get the help these days! I'm going back to bed. Thank god for Brigitte's legs."

Astraea played a couple of songs on the JB the other day, which I forgot to mention; Françoise Hardy singing Des ronde dans l'eau and Now You Want To Be Loved, plus Nico's We've Got the Gold:







There is no more to report, and there is also no concert tonight, so it might be a quiet weekend. It's been a busy old week, and I can't help wondering what will become of the @itsmorrissey twitter account. SURELY Morrissey isn't going to let 285,000 followers just slip away? One or two might have downloaded Istanbul. There HAS to be more to come from that story, and just HOW did Harvest take control of the account without Morrissey's password. Did Twitter give them access?

The Mozziah has arrived in the land of The King, and for the first time ever, Morrissey will tonight be playing a concert in Memphis. One of Morrissey's crew members, Joseph Joannides (@JayJ_casa) has posted a photo on twitter of Elvis's gravestone at Graceland, which he visited yesterday. I am presuming that Morrissey would have taken the opportunity to pay a visit too, but who knows, who knows?














PHOTO BY @JayJ_casa - HOW APT THAT THERE ARE ROSES


It feels like I haven't written a proper blog entry in ages, but that is because A) It has been a busy bank holiday weekend, B) There has been nothing really to report on the MorrisseysWorld/Blue Rose Society front and C) There is no C! I would like to say that the cricket season has burst into full swing, thus keeping me away, but it keeps raining. It always bloody rains!

I signed off from my blog entry last Thursday saying that I may place a vote for UKIP at the Euro elections, but of course I didn't really do it. There is NO point in voting, and two thirds of the British public agreed with me. The results were announced on Sunday, and UKIP did incredibly well, but it is all a joke, because those who did vote, were just using their vote as a protest. UKIP won't actually win any seats at next year's General election, and NOTHING will change. Ed Miliband remains unelectable, so Labour won't win the election, the Lib Dems will disappear completely; with Nick Clegg having destroyed the party for his 15 minutes of personal fame, and David Cameron's Conservative party will therefore win the election by picking up the Lib Dem voters..... and the people will continue to be unhappy.... and the politicians will continue to laugh. Cameron will hold a referendum on Europe, and the outcome will be that the British vote to remain in the European Union.... but they'll continue to be unhappy..... and the politicians will continue to laugh. And this system works? Party politics should be a thing of the past. Independence is the way ahead, but will Independence day EVER come? It can't come soon enough! *coughs*


NIGEL FARAGE - THE ONLY UKIP POLITICIAN WITH ANY CHANCE OF WINNING A SEAT AT NEXT YEAR'S GENERAL ELECTION


Anyway, enough about politics, which ultimately is none of my business, back to Moz. Yesterday evening, I lay in the bath and watched Sunday's Beaumont concert on Youtube. With the exception of Irish Blood, World Peace and Earth is, the whole concert was filmed, and it was superb. They are ALWAYS superb! The only downsides were that Life is a Pigsty and The National Front Disco weren't on the set list in Beaumont, and it would also appear that I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday has completely gone, but having Certain People I Know come in was a pleasant surprise. It could be that I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday has been dropped from the set because the new PETA film is going to come in to take it's place at the beginning of the concerts. It has been reported that the PETA film moved Morrissey to tears, but although I can understand why Morrissey would allow the song to be used to highlight the plight of chickens, it will ALWAYS remain the Jean Cocteau song in my mind. I really hope it returns to the set list; after all, this IS the 'Unofficial Blue Rose Tour'!



The concert in Beaumont also saw Moz give an 'O' sign, aimed right at Clover Dean, but I'm not sure if she spotted it. It can be seen at the 30 second mark, whilst moz is talking to the crowd, before singing Yes, I am Blind:



It was rather disappointing, but also no surprise, to see that Istanbul didn't make it into the singles chart on Sunday. Istanbul is an absolutely stunning song, and it got it's first live airing on Saturday night in Austin, and was also sung in Beaumont on Sunday.



It is criminal that Istanbul isn't being played on National radio. How have things changed SO much in the past few years, so that a new Morrissey song doesn't make it onto the charts? HOW? According to our old friend Broken, the whole new album is "unlikely to be any good". Here is the comment he left last Thursday, on Morrissey's birthday of all days; the bastard!..... that's Broken who's a bastard, not Morrissey!:

Broken22 May 2014 12:30

Sorry, but the new album is unlikely to be any good. WPINOYB is a bit tuneless. But fair enough, he did release the worst three songs on Your Arsenal before the album.

But Istanbul is just a plodder. The words are stunning. But the music is typical Jesse Tobias. Absent melody. Zero imagination. No creativity. Mid-paced rock dirge. It's embarrassing.

How sad that Morrissey now accepts this rubbish and puts it out on record.

I give up on him. It's over.

Broken's comment was one of the rare sightings of any of the pessoa's in recent days. Astraea has made the occasional visit to The Twitterdilly Arms, but there has been no sign of Mademoiselle Fifi or Parody Moz. The Rat's Talisman turned out to be Jack Shet (@TheeOtherBill), and NOT a pessoa, although I DO like the pictures he keeps coming up with.


WHO IS BEHIND THE BLUE ROSE?..... OR WHAT???!!!


There are still rumblings about the @itsmorrissey twitter account, with GWO making some interesting observations:

girlwithout24 May 2014 23:36

I guess the @itsmorrissey twitter account will be on hold for 30 days and then be up for grabs, presumably minus the blue badge.
Odd though that the hashtag started appearing on the wheat paste posters at about the same time as @itsmorrissey resurfaced. All looked to be part of a promotional campaign. Wonder who the ‘interlopers’ were. Somehow I don’t think it was Harvest; partly because the twitter account would have already had to be transferred to them from whoever set it up and got it verified in 2009; but also because of their tweet about taking over @itsmorrissey to protect it from interlopers. 

I don’t do Faceache, but I did see the post on there on 14 May that linked to the @itsmorrissey twitter account saying ‘Feel free to reach out’. I just looked for that and cannot see it so has that now been removed? My guess is that maybe there was a link between the FB and the twitter account. Odd that the twitter account was deactivated but that the ‘official’ Morrissey FB is still active.
This is a case for Columbo. 
Harvest Records.com have Morrissey's FB and 'official site' as the 'official' Morrissey FB. But, but, but.........







MORRISSEY IN DALLAS - "FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT"














HASH TAG.... AND BARBED WIRE... AND RAIN. THIS POSTER IS IN ENGLAND!

Meanwhile, the MorrisseysWorld.Com site started linking into ohwellenough.webs.com over the weekend, but is now back to linking to True-To-You.net. WHAT is going on? Will it EVER go live, or is it going to go the same way as @itsmorrissey?

That will do for today. I am absolutely itching to share the secret that Fifi whispered to me in the toilets of The Twit Arms last week, but I had to promise to hold my water, and hold it I will continue to do. *coughs*

The Blue Rose Society HAS to keep spreading the word to people attending concerts, but with the exception of @BlueRoseSociety, NOBODY else is bothering to search twitter to look for people attending concerts. All the BRS need to do is lOOk for people attending, and then link them to bluerosesocisty.blogspot.com. Hopefully, tonight in Memphis, a twitter user called @vaurigemma will take a rose, but it really is taking an awfully long time for the masses to wake up to what is going on. HOW many times does Morrissey have to wear a BLUE ROSE before people make the link? I wonder what the reaction would be if Morrissey walked on stage wearing a blue rose? I guess.... NONE!

And finally, Boz's suitcase must be bulging by now, as he stopped by at Antone's Record Shop in Austin to stock up on yet more vinyl for his new record shop, Vinyl Boutique:




BOZ AT ANTONE'S IN TEXAS

And whilst Boz is away, I have been earning him money, as I made my first purchase from his shop, The Knife Shift on vinyl. It is now sitting on my turntable, where it will remain until July.

STOP PRESS: I've just had a natter in the toilets of The Arms with Fifi, and it would appear she's been having a tantrum, which might jeopardise the 'secret'. If anybody sees her, feel free to slap her with a wet plimsoll!

*Goes off singing* If you're looking for trouble, it walks beside me....

Appearing on twitter with a big corporate tick of approval as '@itsmorrissey', was NEVER going to be for Morrissey, but it really is extraordinary that he has been able to use twitter on an almost daily basis for the past three years, without either his fans or the media noticing that he is doing it.

It was on September 14 2011 that Morrissey first announced, in his own subtle way, that he had joined twitter, but despite me writing about it EVERY DAY (EVERYDAY?) since, and despite my blog having had 493,554 hits, Morrissey still manages to come and go on twitter completely unseen. He is right there, in full view of the whole world, and yet he somehow manages to remain hidden.




The current pseudonym/pessoa that Morrissey is using, popped into The Twitterdilly Arms yesterday evening, and once again mixed freely with the 'Dreary Deluded Dozen'. Morrissey actually has the grand total of 52 followers on twitter, although the 'DDD' are the ones who interact with him, and KNOW who it is they are following. Actually, before I go on any further, as this whole phenomenal story will one day be uncovered, I shall take this opportunity to list the 'Dreary Deluded Dozen' and the rest of the 'Deck of 52' who are currently following Morrissey on twitter.

THE TWITTERDILLY ARMS

Yesterday's visit to The Twitterdilly Arms by Morrissey was fairly brief. I was accused of making up the tantrum that I mentioned yesterday, and there was also this rather amusing quote, "I never cause trouble, I don't have tantrums and I hate drama." Morrissey left The Arms with a song, Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash:



This choice of song had me immediately speculating that Morrissey might be planning to either WEAR the BRS ring on stage in Memphis, or perhaps even sing Ring of Fire as a tribute to Fifi (the BRS element of fire) and the BRS. Early indications are that neither of my speculations came to fruition in Memphis last night, although as there is NO Youtube footage whatsoever of last night's show, who knows? It has been reported that security was particularly tough, with NO filming allowed, so I guess we will never find out if the ring was worn.

STOP PRESS: A certain somebody has just dragged me into the toilets of the Twit Arms, and informed me that, "Ryman was a former house of the Grand Ole Opry, hence the Johnny Cash song at Grand Ole Opry. And 'ring of fire' because I am fire. You got confused with the ring but it wasn't meant to confuse you. Or anyone." So, NO RING, but does this latest message mean that it is TONIGHT that Morrissey will sing Ring of Fire in Nashville? Have I been a day too early with my speculation? No, of course not, it was just a song being played on an internet jukebox, nothing more, nothing less. I sometimes get carried away.

The set list for yesterday's show has been posted on the internet, and I am very happy to see that Pigsty has returned, although as there is no footage of it, I guess it's actually irrelevant to me or my life if it's on the set list or not!

It would appear that the shirt toss returned last night in Memphis (see above), but the only other thing of relevance that I have read, is a tweet by @NoelGallagher (and NO, it's not that Noel Gallagher), who wrote, "@BlueRoseSociety Morrissey noticed a few of the roses I threw at the stage!!!!"

Alex Turner ‏@NoelGaIlagher  9h

@BlueRoseSociety morrissey noticed a few of the roses I threw at the stage!!!!

It would appear that the message about roses continues to reach people, and tonight in Nashville, our very own Heather will have the chance, AT LAST, to spread the message visually... and hopefully get her BLUE ROSE to Moz at the same time. We wish her the very best of luck, and if Moz were to sing the line, "and when you look at me, you actually see me", I think Heather would pass out... so it's just as well it isn't on the current set list!


RYMAN AUDITORIUM NASHVILLE - THE FORMER HOME OF THE GRAND OLE OPRY



I have nothing else to add today, other than to say that Joey Barton has alleged that Morrissey asked him to wear a World Peace is None of Your Business t-shirt on Question Time tomorrow, but Joey not only refused, he decided to tell the newspapers! Oh Joey!

Posted by BRS member Heathercat:

WHAT A CONCERT! I don't know how it's possible for Morrissey to keep surpassing himself, but he continues to do it. Tonight was electrifying, emotional, intense, and magical. The setlist is already on Solow so I won't bother to list it here, but the highlights for me were: Trouble (of course); followed directly by Pigsty, which was mind-blowing; Istanbul sounded incredible live; and Asleep was breathtaking. My rose was ignored but I had no expectations otherwise. At least it can be seen in photos and videos, since I was lucky enough to get a spot close to the stage. All in all, it was a very special night and I'm so thankful I was able to go. Time for sleep - I'll certainly have sweet dreams tonight...

MORRISSEY AT THE RYMAN - MAYA ANGELOU (WHO DIED YESTERDAY) AS THE BACKDROP

AND IT'S OFF! - PHOTO BY HEATHERCAT

KRISTEEN YOUNG AT THE RYMAN - PHOTO BY HEATHERCAT

It would appear that last night's concert once again saw Morrissey in top form. I can't believe that Heathercat didn't mention that Let Me Kiss you returned to the set; I guess she was still overwhelmed by it all when she wrote her little piece, but I am presuming that this is where the shirt toss came in.

Last night's show gave Heather  the chance, at last, to take a blue rose for Moz. She managed to get to the front of the stage and offer her rose to Morrissey, but as is oft the case, the rose was ignored, and Heather now joins the likes of myself, EARS and Vulgar Angie, who have ALL had their roses ignored by The Mozziah. As Heather stated though, "I had no expectations otherwise."

Our Mozzer once told us, "I am not a whore", so despite him wanting blue roses at the concerts, he will only accept and wear one very occasionally. In fact, ever since the Blue Rose Society was first mentioned by the MorrisseysWorld blog on February 24 2012, Morrissey has accepted and worn a blue rose on only three occasions:

1. From the BRS President, Kyle at Radio City Hall in NYC (October 10 2012):



2. From a nine year old, Devan at Hollywood High in LA (March 2 2013):



3. From Devan again at Santa Ana in LA (May 8 2014):


The question is, when will Morrissey next accept and wear a blue rose? Is he waiting for Kyle on the east coast leg of this tour, or is Morrissey only accepting one blue rose a year? Maybe Moz is now waiting for a blue rose t-shirt instead? If Morrissey isn't accepting and wearing blue roses, then what is the objective of the BRS? Personally, I think that BRS members should wear their blue roses to concerts, just as Wilde's followers wore their green carnation, and should then offer their rose to Moz either at an opportune moment during the concert, or during the last song of the main set. If it is refused, then we should all throw our roses onto the stage as Morrissey emerges for the encore.




























THE T-SHIRT THAT JACK SHET WILL ATTEMPT TO PASS TO MOZ IN ATLANTIC CITY ON JUNE 6 (BUT IN BLACK!)

I have nothing else to write about today. The original MorrisseysWorld blog remains closed, as does the Parody Moz twitter account. The new MorrisseysWorld has not tweeted since April 14, when it announced, "Our new unofficial website, for and by Mozophiles, is temporarily redirecting to TTY". How long does temporary last?

The only sign of pessoa's yesterday in The Twitterdilly Arms, were Fifi in the toilets, and Astraea behind the jukebox. Astraea played a video of Elvis singing I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone from 1955. The song was one of the original 5 singles that Elvis recorded for the Sun record label in Memphis. I once owned all 5 of those Sun singles, but over the years I have sold them, although I do still have That's All Right, which I shall keep forever.


Morrissey now heads to Florida, where tomorrow night he will sing for a sold out audience in the rather splendid looking Mahaffey theatre in St Petersburg.... but will the message of the rose reach any of those attending?

It looks like we all missed a huge sign. On May 24, Orange Mécanique posted this comment on FTM:

Testing... 1. 2. Testing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boFYrCbjSyU&t=1m30s

I took a brief glance at the Youtube link, which is of Agent Cooper's tapes from Twin Peaks, but I didn't think any more of it.



Yesterday, a poster calling themselves Nuff Sed, posted this link in the comments section of FTM:

http://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/131061-Why-was-my-topic-deleted. It is a topic posted on Solow by somebody calling themselves Vanitas M. Berrymore. The initial subject matter of the thread, was to point out that we had all missed the fact that the "Testing 1 2 3" tweet posted by @itsmorrissey last week, was a nod to the "testing 1 2 testing" that Agent Cooper spoke as his first words on Twin Peaks. I am guessing that Vanitas M. Berrymore is either a Morrissey pessoa, or perhaps even Russell Brand.... whatever happened to him?..... but whoever it is, Vanitas was met with a whole torrent of abuse by Uncle Skinny, and the Twin Peaks discussion soon got forgotten as Vanitas and Skinny went head to head in an intellectual debate about MorrisseysWorld and the BRS. Here is an exert from their conversation:


May 25 -

Vanitas M. Berrymore: "How long will it take the Blue Rose Society to realise that Morrissey sent them a huge sign?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boFYrCbjSyU&t=1m30s

"Hello. Testing, 1, 2, 3. Planet Earth, are you there? One can only hope..."
— @itsmorrissey (his first words on Twitter)

"Testing. 1. 2. Testing."
— Dale Cooper (his first words in Twin Peaks)

You ARE sleeping."

Uncle Skinny: "Fuck off with your bullshit."

Vanitas: "Dear Mr. P, I'm not promoting anything here, I'm not a member of Blue Rose Society, I don't bring roses to his shows, I'm just stating facts, and it is obviously a fact that the once official Morrissey Twitter account made a reference to Twin Peaks, which is a huge part of the MorrisseysWorld story, and this of course with some people causes the knee-jerk-reaction to scream out loud "psychotic bullshit", we've seen it before and aren't surprised. You don't have to like it, you don't have to embrace it, you don't even have to deal with it, you can just ignore it (I heard this forum offers solutions, should a particular user annoy you too much.) But it is there, and a platform that dedicates itsself to free speech should (must) allow discussion about it. Either that, or we have different concepts of "free speech". I'd be interested in yours. I imagine it sounds like "I'm all for free speech, BUT..."

(Please don't swear so much when or rather if you answer, but if you do, I'd ask you to stick to the f**k theme, my secretary is watching and she might pick up a few new words to throw at me in the future)."

Skinny: "Free speech you like, is it? Well here's some more. Go fuck yourself, and the sack of shit your'e pulling your bullshit from. You're full of shit, and when you've fucked off, you can fuck off some more. P."

Vanitas: "I shall not discuss this matter further today, it's obviously really getting at you so much that you're not in the condition to react reasonably on the points made in my post."

Skinny: "I certainly fucking am. Now cock off. I bet you can't keep your promise of not discussing this matter further today. You strike me as the kind who strings some load of old bollocks out for effect. Go on, prove me right. P."

May 26-

Vanitas: "Once you're all done with your rants, can we proceed to the actual discussion? My theory is that MorrisseysWorld hacked the @itsmorrissey account and started tweeting in his name. That's why he issued the TTY message that it's not him, as a consequence they shut the account down. He likes that blog, but doesn't allow them to represent him officially. Opinions on that?"

Skinny: "fuck off. P."

Vanitas: "Why do you even contribute to this thread, if all you have to say is "fuck"? You're everything that's wrong with this site. One should call the moder....
Please get yourself under control in the future when talking to me.

My theory extended: The @morrisseyworld Twitter account and associated website www.morrisseysworld.com are actually trolling MorrisseysWorld. They now redirect to TTY, as they did for some weeks, but yesterday for some minutes, they showed this content: http://ohwellenough.webs.com/

Too bad that the Blue Rose people prefer fawning over asking questions. Too bad that the solo people prefer swearing over asking questions. Too bad that the AYNIM people prefer frinking over asking questions."

Skinny: "Fuck off with your bullshit. You're a tryer, I'l give you that. I ain't going nowhere. If you don't like the response you're getting - fuck off! Too bad your transparent attempts at planting bullshit are repaeated over and over again. Fuck off! And If I'm everything that's wrong ith this site, you obviously haven't met us all. P."

Vanitas:
"1.) You never really explained why that MorrisseysWorld thing is bullshit. You just state it over and over again. Do you have an argument, too?

2.) It doesn't matter if I LIKE the responses I'm getting. I use them to gain insight, which is my only single purpose. Already have a picture of solow now, but it's still a work in progress.

3.) It's clear that you're not the only person on this platform who makes it almost impossible to use for any decent Morrissey fan (those who actually go out to see his shows instead of complaining about setlists on the internet). But you're a moderator, deescalation is your job. Well done here. I'm open for an apology."

Skinny: "Were you not listening? FUCK OFF. And take your fucking bullshit with you. If, however, you choose to stay, I'll be with you every step of the way. Wonder why no one else is engaging with you? Its because you're a fucking one-track dullard. Your move, genius. P."

Vanitas: "It's either because I'm using this thread and not the one in general discussion, or because you were successful in indoctrinating people that "MorrisseysWorld is psychotic bullshit". I want (WANT) to find out who is behind MorrisseysWorld. Mind if I use your board while completing my mission?"

Skinny: "Will you please just fuck off. You are unutterably tiresome. A one-trick pony. P."


The question has to be asked, WHAT is Uncle Skinny scared of? And just WHO does he think is behind MorrisseysWorld and the BRS? WHO? Does he still think it's me? You couldn't make this up.

OUR MOZZER HAS RETURNED! *Waves palm leaves, blue roses and any other foliage that happens to be laying around*

It was May 16th when The Mozziah, aka @MorrisseyParody, walked away from The Twitterdilly Arms. We all presumed at the time, that we had lost him for good, and that he was instead going to start wearing the suit of @itsmorrissey. The last minute change of mind (or heart) saw @itsmorrissey disappear in a puff of smoke and mirrors and yesterday, Our Mozzer strolled back into The Twit Arms dressed once again as @MorrisseyParody, as though nothing had ever happened. The visit occurred at about 8pm UK time (3pm Florida time).

Our Mozzer's first tweet was a retweet of my birthday wish from the 22nd:

 Retweeted by morrissey

The Rat @TheRatsBack · May 22

Happy Birthday Parody Moz...s*d the other bloke; you're the one I love! All day party in The Twit Arms to celebrate @MorrisseyParody's day.

I wasn't actually in The Arms when Our Mozzer returned yesterday, so I was unable to welcome him back in person, but @Bunnygal833, @heathercat222 and @papasonsfilm welcomed him home.... and it IS his home! He didn't stay long, but here are his highlights:

"Beautiful people don't know they're beautiful. Ugly people know it only too well."
"The savage prey upon weakness and the gentle eliminate it."
"At last - I am no longer a top 80 pop artist." (I have to admit, this one made me laugh out loud. Morrissey should take comfort in knowing that he is still a top 83 pop artist.... although technically, as Istanbul didn't chart...)

Before he left, Marcus (@papasonsfilm) asked Our Mozzer if he was looking forward to the World Cup, to which Mozzer replied:
"From the Morrissey parody to the parody of an English football team - good luck."
"I'd rather watch the class of Munich."


THE CLASS OF MUNICH - MAN UTD 1958

I wonder if any of the British tabloids will use the headline 'World Cup is None of Your Business' when England get knocked out? I doubt it!


Both Our Mozzer and Astraea appeared again in The Arms in the early hours of this morning. Astraea tweeted this video footage of Sacha Distel's Les Moustaches at 1am St Pete's time:



At 2am, Astraea posted, "Oh, and last but not least. Mick Jagger tweeting Harry Styles? Not ironic."
Astraea then added, "Someone pass me the paracetamol please. And two bottles of red wine on the side."
Astraea's final tweet was a Youtube clip of Brigitte Bardot being interview in the 60s:




Our Mozzer also posted at 2am; a retweet of a post by @TheRatsTalisman, which read, "The @Morrisseyparody has sent a sign." HAS HE? WHAT IS IT?

Our Mozzer then appeared again at 4am to thank @Jazissey on Broken's behalf for her "wonderful charms", and to invite her to meet Broken again, later today, in the MorrisseysWorld chat room. I guess the invitation is open to all to meet Broken in his cupboard: http://chatroll.com/morrisseysworld-chat. Broken also left a message for Jazissey on my blog entry of yesterday. Jazissey had posted to say, "I don't know who BrummieBoy is (on Solow) but I think he's a genius and is definitely into pesos. I can almost swear he sounds like a character straight out of the chat. Must be my imagination." to which Broken replied, "I miss you." I haven't paid much attention to BrummieBoy on Solow, because I really can't be bothered to trawl through all the crap on that site, but a number of the BRS are convinced that BB is Moz.



And whilst I am on the subject of Solow, Comrade harps yesterday posted a link which showed a Solower called Skylarker finally asking what The Blue Rose/MorrisseysWorld is about? Skylarker obviously has never bothered looking for himself/herself before, and even now, rather than look for actual evidence about MW/BRS, she/he has just asked for somebody to tell him/her. Here is the intellectual responses that he/she received:

marred: "It's another in a long line of "crocks of shit". Sorry I don't have any more info than that at this point." GENIUS!

Viva Hate: "From what I gather from their posts, a "blue rose" is homosexual slang for what normal people might call a "prolapsed anus". People afflicted with a protruding, overfucked asshole formed a secret society based entirely on Blogspot called The Blue Rose Society where they discuss passing encoded correspondence back and forth with a semi-popular English singer named Morrissey (one name, like Cher) in the form of dyed flowers." GENIUS!

Vanitas M. Berrymore: "Asking about Blue Rose on solo is like expecting to get valuable information about Muslims on islamburninhell.com." TRUE!

Mozza220559: "It's a supposed old Wildean throw back where he used to have a carnation on or something and people who liked him also wore this carnation in subtle support of him. Blue Rose mongs try to re-create that thinking if Moz sees one of the audience wearing a blue rose they're somehow cosmically linked and on Moz's favourite list. Basically it's a load of deluded saddo fans who wear blue roses who think they have the inside track. I'm sure a BRG (blue rose goon) will reply to this with some passive aggressive smug retort saying "The blue rose society know" or something equally as lame." GENIUS!

mcrickson: "I would hazard a guess that members are sub-grouped under the charters of the Brown Starfish Cooperative." GENIUS!

CrystalGeezer just posted a picture, presumably of herself:


CRYSTAL GEEZER

I think it is safe to say, the Solowers will NEVER understand about the Blue Rose.


Our Mozzer's final tweet at 4am this morning (St Pete's time) was this:
"Did you know it's actually better to fade away than burn out."


I have spent this morning watching Youtube clips from the concerts in Memphis and Nashville. It was rather interesting to discover that in Nashville on Wednesday, Morrissey sang the Tammy Wynette song, 'Til I Get It Right during the pause in Speedway. It would have been more interesting to discover that he had sung Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire, but it was not to be.

Youtube footage has also started to appear from last night's concert in St Pete's. Moz and the boys have taken to bowing to each other before each concert begins, just as martial arts fighters bow to each other before a bout. The Speedway pause once again has a song in it, but I have no idea what song it is. Answers on a postcard please.

The Blue Rose Society (BRS) are a group of Morrissey fans, who were brought together having discovered a website called MorrisseysWorld.blogspot.com. The Blue Rose Society was formed in November 2011 by the unknown author of the MorrisseysWorld site, who many of the BRS believe to be Morrissey himself. It is believed Morrissey formed the society in honour of his literary hero Oscar Wilde, who not only had a theme of roses running through his work, but also had his own society called the Green Carnation.

Just a few months after the formation of the BRS, Morrissey took to the stage with a backdrop picture of Oscar Wilde asking, "Who is Morrissey?" A coincidence?


Most of the members of the Blue Rose Society interact on twitter, or The Twitterdilly Arms as they like to call their 'online Morrissey theme pub'. The BRS members chat about all things Morrissey, but they also have an objective; to take roses to Morrissey's concerts, and offer them to Morrissey.

Morrissey concerts have always featured flowers, and in the early days of The Smiths in the 1980's, it was mainly gladioli, but since the inception of the Blue Rose Society, the only flowers that Morrissey has accepted on stage have been roses. A coincidence?

Morrissey receiving a rose in Bogotá - March 17 2012:


On October 10 2012, Morrissey not only accepted a blue rose from a member of the BRS at the concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York, but he wore it in his pocket:


MORRISSEY WEARING A BLUE ROSE - OCTOBER 10 2012

Here is the video footage of Morrissey receiving and wearing the blue rose at Radio City Music Hall:



On March 2 2013, Morrissey again accepted and wore a blue rose at his Hollywood High concert in LA. This concert was filmed and released as Morrissey25:Live. A coincidence that Morrissey accepted and wore a blue rose during the making of his film?


MORRISSEY RECEIVING THE BLUE ROSE AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH - MARCH 2 2013


Here is the video footage of Morrissey receiving and wearing the blue rose at Hollywood High:


On October 17 2013, Morrissey launched his Autobiography with a book signing in Gothenburg Sweden. Placed in front of Morrissey's table was a vase of roses, which he made a point of touching. A coincidence?


MORRISSEY TOUCHING THE ROSES IN GOTHENBURG - OCTOBER 17 2013

On December 11 2013, Morrissey returned to the stage after a nine month break, and sang three songs at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo, Norway. He wore a bracelet of white roses. A coincidence?


MORRISSEY WEARING A BRACELET OF ROSES  IN OSLO - DECEMBER 11 2013


On May 8 2014, in Santa Ana Ca, on the second date of Morrissey's new tour, Morrissey yet again accepted and wore a blue rose. Another coincidence?


MORRISSEY WEARING HIS BLUE ROSE IN SANTA ANA - MAY 8 2014


Here is the video footage of Morrissey receiving and wearing the blue rose at Santa Ana:


The MorrisseysWorld website tends to come and go, as does the twitter account, and some people just cannot accept that it could possibly be Morrissey behind it, but whether he is or not is irrelevant, he has shown many times that he fully supports the Blue Rose Society, and it is obvious that he wants to have roses brought to his concerts.

If you would like to join in the fun, then just wear a rose (preferably blue) to a Morrissey concert, and try to hand it to him. He won't always accept a rose, but that is part of the fun. If Morrissey doesn't accept your rose, then throw it onto the stage at the start of the encore.

The BRS interact on a blog called FollowingTheMozziah.blogspot.com, so please feel free to join us, or pop into The Twitterdilly Arms, by following any of these people:

If you ask @MorrisseyParody if he is the real Morrissey, he will tell you that he isn't, just as he did on his website True-To-You back in 2011..... but as Morrissey once said in 1987, "I lie a lot - it's really useful."

The BRS also have a theme tune, 'Trouble Loves Me', which has the words 'Blue Rose' hidden within the title. Coincidentally, Morrissey's new LP 'World Peace is None of Your Business' also has 'Blue Rose' hidden within the title.

Morrissey has even worn a blue rose on stage whilst singing the BRS theme tune. Another coincidence:

It is probably just as well that Morrissey didn't start tweeting 'officially' as @itsmorrissey, because I am sure that there would have been times when he would have tweeted things that he may have regretted..... actually, I don't think Morrissey does regret, but if official Moz had tweeted what parody Moz tweeted yesterday, then there would surely have been repercussions. Here is what Our Mozzer tweeted:

"My latest singles simply disappeared. Thank you Harvest."

Of course, what Our Mozzer tweeted is perfectly true, Harvest have been utterly USLESS in their promotion, and both WPINOYB and Istanbul have come and gone without trace. This week will see the release of Earth is the Loneliest Planet, and I think we can all guess what will happen chart wise; bugger all!

George Edge aka @edgeindustphoto replied to Our Mozzer's tweet about Harvest by tweeting, "I could have promoted them better", to which Our Mozzer replied, "@edgeindustphoto By mentioning them on your blog, you probably did - by virtue of the fact SOMEBODY saw it."

It would appear to be a case of the 'same old, same old' for Moz; yet another record company who is failing to promote him properly. What exactly do these record companies do? It must be heartbreaking for Morrissey to sign with yet another label who just let him down, and he is no doubt asking himself "What will happen to the new LP?"



The good news is, I believe that the new LP will look after itself, which is just as well given Harvest's lack of interest. WPINOYB is being released on July 14th, the day after the World Cup finishes. There are no other BIG albums being released in the same week as WPINOYB and both Kasabian and Ed Sheeran's June releases should have peaked by the time World Peace comes out, so unless Kasabian or Ed Sheershit manage to produce a work of art, Morrissey should reach Number 1 on July 20th. So the only question is, will Morrissey be playing a UK concert seven weeks today, on the 20th July, because I want to be there to see his face as he announces he is back at Number 1 for the first time in 8 years.


MORRISSEY - HEINEKEN MUSIC HALL APRIL 10 2006  - THE LAST TIME MOZ WAS ABLE TO WALK OUT ON STAGE AND ANNOUNCE HE HAD JUST REACHED NO.1

Our Mozzer has popped into The Twitterdilly Arms a couple of times in the past 24 hours, but unfortunately I don't have the time to report all of his tweets, so I shall just report on yesterday's, and shall post today's tweets tomorrow; which include an exchange with Boy George :

In response to @stellaperrett posting a picture of Joey Essex's book called 'Being Reem' and tweeting, "@JoeyEssex_ love this book, you are so inspirational! can't stop residing it!", Our Mozzer tweeted: "@stellaperrett @JoeyEssex_ Since the word 'Reem' actually has no known meaning, it is quite an apt title, however existentially distressing."

In response to @Intl_Playboy tweeting a picture of a 'Morrissey-Free Workplace', Our Mozzer tweeted: "@Intl_Playboy This could be a wonderful idea for my next tour."








In response to @FadingGoldLeaf tweeting  "@MorrisseyParody is the best parody account Twitter ever saw", Our Mozzer tweeted: "@FadingGoldLeaf The parody is so close to reality, at times one can't tell whether I'm parodying him or he is parodying me." (This tweet is made even more funny by the fact that it is in response to @FadingGoldLeaf! Surreal.)

In response to @MancLadMozFan asking for a South American tour, "Brazil or Argentina?" (Could this be a clue?)

"What makes us human is our very inhumanity."

"Perfection is unachievable in art. Great art is wonderfully imperfect. Bad art is imperfectly wonderful."

"Who else churns out wit like cottage cheese?

In response to a tweet from @Menippus tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody You're not even supposed to sit with a laptop on your LAP. And most of my "Followers" don't even know where I am", "@Menippus Popular song gave me life and stole from me the concept of living." (Feeding himself lines? Surreal!)

There has been very little youtube footage posted from last night's concert in Miami, but I have found a review, and the odd snippet:

Miami review: http://www.miami.com/review-morrissey-shows-his-talents-remain-fine-form-sold-out-concert-arsht-center-article

And now we have to wait until Wednesday for another concert, although luckily, Sky Arts are tonight showing 25:Live on the telly. I also have a feeling in my water's that we may be hearing other news before then. It's just a feeling.

More footage has emerged from the Miami concert on Sunday, including the BRS theme tune, Trouble Loves Me. Trouble Loves Me really is the greatest song in the history of popular music, and in Miami, Morrissey showed his love of the BRS by singing it whilst sporting a heart of sweat:



Before singing Trouble in Miami, Morrissey had talked to the audience about why he doesn't vote, which leads me nicely onto a subject I wrote about yesterday; Harvest record company.

When Morrissey signed for Harvest, I started following a twitter user called Bich Ngoc Cao (@madcao), mainly because her profile describes her as the "digital Marketing Director @harvest_records". One might think that Ms Cao would spend her time tweeting all things Morrissey, especially when he released both WPINOYB and Istanbul as DIGITAL DOWNLOADS, but no, Ms Cao spends most of her time tweeting for people to vote for a slimy looking politician in LA called Bobby Shriver. In fairness to Ms Cao, she is aware of Morrissey's existence, because she has posted the following tweets about him:

MAY 11: "Morrissey walked onstage to deafening screams. It was intense @Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum."

MAY 11: "Our little record label @harvest_records got a thank you from Morrissey from the stage. That was sweet."

MAY 13: (Retweeting @harvest_records) "Pre-order Morrissey's new album WorldPeaceIsNoneOfYourBusiness and watch his new video now."

AND THAT'S IT!

The @Harvest_records twitter account is no better! Their promotion so far of either WPINOYB or Istanbul amounts to a retweet on May 13th of our very own @heathercat222's tweet which read, "Now listening to worldpeaceisnoneofyourbusiness. It's absolutely glorious. Can't wait for rest of the album."

Harvest also announced through twitter that they had taken over the @itsmorrissey twitter account, but instead of promoting WPINOYB to the 285,000 people following that account, they closed it! HARVEST ARE USELESS! If World Peace Is None of Your Business does get to Number 1, or even into the charts at all for that matter, it will be purely and simply because Morrissey has once again written more great songs, and because he IS Morrissey. Any success of WPINOYB will have nothingwhatsoever to do with the abilities of Bich and her team, and yet you can bet your bottom dollar that all at Harvest will be shouting from the rooftops if the album hits the top. Oh, Steve Barnett, so much to answer for.



(L TO R) BICH NGOC CAO (DIGITAL MARKETING DIRECTOR HARVEST RECORDS) & A PUPPET

So, as the digital marketing director at Harvest continues to promote Bobby Slither, Morrissey continues to promote his own singles, and today has seen the release of another spoken word video, this time for Earth is the Loneliest Planet.

The main difference between the video for EITLP and the previous three, is that this one is not indoors, it has been shot up the Capitol Tower, and features Morrissey with..... PAMELA ANDERSON, yes, that PAMELA ANDERSON!







Both Morrissey and Pamela Anderson are high profile supporters of PETA, and it HAS to be said, they are a great pair.


Here are Our Mozzer's twitter highlight's from yesterday:

"I've forgotten everything I once knew about human suffering. Now I know inhuman suffering."

"@AustinMahone He can't sing. He can't dance. This one can't even speak."


AUSTIN MAHONE - YET ANOTHER NONSENSE NON-STAR.... WHO I HAVE TO CONFESS, I HAD NEVER HEARD OF UNTIL YESTERDAY'S TWEET!

In response to @smashingblouse7 asking, "All love is a lie? Or just the love YOU give or receive":
"@smashingblouse7 It's rather ambiguous, which is only as it should be."

"@BoyGeorge Did you like my latest Twitter escapade? Even the official account wasn't me! No one 'got it, Boy.' Not even you. If one reads all 3710 tweets, it's hard not to conclude I am me. The only question is - who is 'me?'"



Boy George replied to Our Mozzer with, "@MorrisseyParody You keep me young! X"

"@BoyGeorge Why isn't the 'who is MorrisseysWorld?' phenomenon more popular than life itself by now? Am I not at all interesting? I had anticipated a greater interest in what I'm doing, but my Twitter account remains undiscovered everywhere but Los Angeles. In LA, some of the Moz Angeleans spray"Morrissey is MorrisseysWorld (and MorrisseyParody)" on walls. Blue Roses everywhere."

"I'm the Wilde of Twitter; and like in Wilde's latter years, everyone who 'loved me' forgot this fact for three or four years."

"Wilde's life was ended by prison life. My life is my prison - and it seems almost endless."

"My principal contribution to Twitter was the proper use of the semicolon; it changed the lives of over 642 people."

Our Mozzer retweeted this tweet from @Banjaxer, "@MorrisseyParody Alright mush. If great interest is your aim why not do something to earn it? TRM never has any problem doing that."

"@TheRatsBack, Your blog is my only remaining inspiration." *blushes and looks to floor... smiling*

"@TheRatsBack I Will See You in Nearby Places." WHAT can this mean? Is he coming round for tea... or perhaps... *coughs*

"One Direction are so mindless, one can't remember whether there are four or five; moreover one doesn't care."

"@piersmorgan Piers may well come back to TV. Most likely this will be CCTV, as Piers returns to stalking public figures."

@LouiseMensch lOUISE, i enjoyed your comments on aid to countries which promote sexism and homophobia. Thus in the middle east we should support only Israel. I am tired of my money being given to bigots. Nonetheless, Israel really doesn't need our financial support, so in fact none of our money should go to any Islamic country, or any in the middle east." WHY, OH WHY did Morrissey decide not to go to a larger audience as @itsmorrissey?.... but I am glad he didn't!

MORRISSEY (WEARING HIS BLUE ROSE TIE) RECEIVING THE KEY TO THE CITY OF TEL AVIV - "ISRAEL DOESN'T NEED OUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT" - OUR MOZZER

"@DrDevereux One day your decision to ignore MorrisseysWorld will look like a poor one. The only group which knows less about the world than the illiterate class is academia."

"I'm too witty for public consumption."

"I'm the darling of twitter - it's just that nobody has realised it yet."

"I am a corpse, and I'm not even dead."

In response to @PapaSonsFilm's tweet asking, "@MorrisseyParody When did you last sing? When did you last dance? When did you last tell stories? Has it been a long time?":

It is not every day (everyday?) of the week that you wake up to find; Boy George behind you, Pamela Anderson waving a blue rose, and a new Morrissey single available to download, but today is such a day.

I should point out that Boy George hasn't pushed Mrs Ratsback out of my marital bed in his quest to get close to me, but is merely following me on Twitter. As he also follows 19,600 other people, it is hardly what one might call a "close relationship". Interestingly, Boy George also chose yesterday to post a tweet saying, "Of course it's him! @MorrisseyParody", and then proceeded to follow an online bookmaker called @PaddyPower, and a facial plastic surgeon called @DrPaulNassif. I can only presume that BG is about to place all the royalties earned from Karma Chameleon on the real Morrissey being the twitter user @MorrisseyParody, and then use all his winnings from the bookie's to make himself look like Pete Burns.... thank the good lord that Morrissey must have made the same presumption as me, and immediately closed the @MorrisseyPardoy account to save Boy George's pretty face.


BOY GEORGE - HE KNOWS

So, Our Mozzer has once again returned to the Black Lodge; we knew he couldn't last. With Boy George making such a public declaration, it was obvious that Moz would go into hiding; after all, if Morrissey wanted the whole world to know he was on twitter, he would have kept the @itsmorrissey account.

 Before leaving The Twitterdilly Arms, Our Mozzer apparently held a Q&A session, but as he is on East Coast American time, I was fast asleep, and missed it. Jazissey has left this comment on my blog entry of yesterday:

Earlier today @MorrisseyParody held a Q&A on Twitter after a a few messages I fail to remember except for "The earth is quite a lonely planet after all" and short after shut down the account My horribly uninteresting question was "Which are the best/worst twitter accounts you've followed?" morrissey (@MorrisseyParody) tweeted at 6:55 PM on Mon, Jun 02, 2014:
@Jazissey Best: @Menippus , @BoyGeorge @justinbieber @Broken1andonly @TheRatsBack Worst: @AustinMahone (parody of Bieber) @HrhQueenCAMILLA

I know Nicole (@bunnygal833) asked questions as well
Nicole (@Bunnygal833) tweeted at 6:56 PM on Mon, Jun 02, 2014:
@MorrisseyParody Is it difficult to maintain a flesh-free diet while traveling?

morrissey (@MorrisseyParody) tweeted
@Bunnygal833 No. Eating no meat is the easiest thing in the world to do - it's much easier than eating a dead animal.

She also asked (a good one) Nicole (@Bunnygal833) tweeted at 6:51 PM on Mon, Jun 02, 2014:
@MorrisseyParody Why the complete lack of promotion from Harvest for all of this quality material?
To which he replied saying something like If he understood that he wouldn't be bothering with a record compamy at all I did not get the full wording maybe She did hopefully

Posted by Jjazmine to Following The Mozziah at 3 June 2014 07:25


Morrissey had appeared in The Arms very briefly earlier in the day, informing @mancladmozfan that he had never watched the Morrissey25:Live film. I couldn't help myself, and chipped in with, "Morrissey accepts a blue rose during Alma Matters. It's quite a good film actually. Same plot as Grease." My comparable of Morrissey's film being like Grease, i.e. a musical set in an American High School, must have tickled him, because I got a retweet.... but then again, I am his fifth favourite tweeter!


There were a few other tweets from Our Mozzer yesterday, but unfortunately I only copied one other, and now that the account has gone, I cannot access it to post the other comments. If anybody else took notes, please let me know. Here is the only tweet I have from yesterday:

"The sadder one is, the more one hates life, yet, perversely, the more one appreciates it."




OUR MOZZER - BACK IN THE BLACK LODGE (PHOTO CURTESY OF @THERATSTALISMAN)

The Youtube video I posted yesterday; of Morrissey with Pamela Anderson up the Capitol Tower reciting the lyrics to Earth is the Loneliest Planet, has also now disappeared. It is still available to view here at  http://www.vevo.com/watch/morrissey/earth-is-the-loneliest-planet/USUMV1400127 , but as to why it is no longer on Youtube, I have no idea. The pairing of Moz & Pamela Anderson might appear a strange on to the outside world, but it makes perfect sense, as described here by BRS member, George Edge: http://edgeindustrialphotography.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/why-pairing-of-morrissey-and-pamela.html

As I mentioned in my opening paragraph, Earth is the Loneliest Planet is now available to download, and so that is exactly what I have done! The studio version is every inch as good as the live version, and the added bonus is that it features Kristeen Young on backing vocals. There is also a fantastic guitar solo from Jesse Tobias, and it should be a massive worldwide hit, but of course, it won't be, although Harvest are doing their upmost...... TO NOT MENTION IT AT ALL! I have even had to send @Harvest_Records a tweet this morning reminding them that Morrissey has a new single out, but they have so far continued to ignore the fact, and are spending all their time promoting somebody called Banks... WHO THE F**K IS BANKS?

That will have to do for today, I am off to watch my son playing in an all day cricket match. My blog will today pass the 500,000 hit mark, and yet, after nearly 3 years, it has only been discovered by a handful of people.... and I wouldn't want it any other way!


I suppose I should explain what I wrote in my opening sentence about Pamela Anderson waving a blue rose. Well, yesterday, on the day that the video of PA with Morrissey was released, Pamela started following on twitter..... @BlueRoseSociety. Unlike Boy George, Pamela doesn't follow that many people on twitter, but it is just a coincidence.... of course!


PAMELA ANDERSON - SHE KNOWS

Our Mozzer made a brief return to The Twitterdilly Arms yesterday evening (late afternoon on the East Coast of America), and among the topics he discussed were; Panic, Pammy, the British government, MW documentary, and sex with Boy George! There was also a first for the Twit Arms, the announcement of a concert cancellation whilst Morrissey was sat in our pub.

THE TWIT ARMS YESTERDAY L TO R: BOY GEORGE (SWOONING), MARCUS (LOOKING SMUG) & MANC LAD (LOOKING SIMPLE) LISTENING TO OUR MOZZER AS HE HOLDS COURT


I am guessing that when Our Mozzer entered the Twit Arms, he knew that the announcement of the cancelled concert wouldn't be far behind him, as his opening gambit was, "I'm back for a limited time only". Sure enough, approximately half an hour later, as word filtered through that tonight's concert in Atlanta was off, Our Mozzer slipped quietly away. Here are the highlight's of that half hour:

In response to this question from @RickIndeed, "@MorrisseyParody what do you make of the theory that "Panic" is about Saville? Not entirely convinced but not entirely unconvinced either...":

"@RickIndeed Panic was not about Saville. Panic, like most of my songs, was about more than one thing; pop critique; anti-radio; Thatcherism."

"@Jazissey I should add that Broken's favourite tweeter is Jazissey; he maintains her page is essential."

"@BoyGeorge Boy George is the only person who can tell the world. But will he? Boy, I didn't really consider you unbearable. You were overbearing and quite frequently bare, but never unbearable. Surely you wouldn't be YOU without the emotional nakedness, quaint voice and savage turn of wit?"

"Boy George will tell the world again quite soon."

@Mancladmozfan tweeted, "@BoyGeorge @MorrisseyParody Can you imagine boy and moz singing together, wow would that set tongues wagging", to which George replied, "I often slip a little Morrisseyness into my work! Have you ever heard 'Fat Cat?'", to which Morrissey replied:

"@BoyGeorge @mancladmozfan Has ANYONE ever heard 'Fat Cat?'" (I'll be honest, I had never heard it!)



"@BoyGeorge I wouldn't dream of asking you if you'd heard 'Papa Jack.' What? You have?"

In response to @BoyGeorge tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody In a world bereft of Morrissey we must cling on to what we have! Lol!":

"@BoyGeorge Contact me via Harvest and something can be worked out. Not a duet, but something", to which George replied, "@MorrisseyParody Ha! What sex?"

"The more sex you have the less it means. In the end you may as well have been Morrissey as @BoyGeorge (Ed - I do so like the old favourites!)

"Boy George knows. He just does. But it's utterly without proof. So this Twitter malady lingers on."

"Pamela Anderson is an underrated thinker; just happens to look marvellous in red bikini."


PAMELA ANDERSON - "AN UNDERRATED THINKER" - MORRISSEY

"Ineptitude is the one saving grace of the British government; without it, they would be positively dangerous."

"Wildean wit, ravishing poetry, dry social commentary, self-deprecating humour and sincere warmth disguised as misanthropy. Who am I? And no - I'm not Richard Madeley."


DISGUISED MISANTHROPIST

"Will you ever forget this time we spent together on Twitter? Will anyone believe you?"

At this point, we were joined in The Twit Arms by Kristeen Young. I told KY that it had been a pleasant surprise to find her vocals on Earth is the Loneliest Planet, and I also asked her where she had recorded her vocal, as I knew that she hadn't been out to France; or at least, I was pretty sure I knew! Here is Kristeen's reply:

KRISTEENYOUNG @KRISTEENYOUNG · 16h

@TheRatsBack In New York. I'm on another song too.....Kick the Bride Down the Aisle.

AN EXCLUSIVE FOR FOLLOWING THE MOZZIAH! It is fantastic news that KY features on another Morrissey track. WHEN, OH WHEN WILL WE GET A MOZ/KRISTEEN DUET?

Our Mozzer's Highlight's Continued:

"@KristeenYoung @TheRatsBack Kristeen, do join me in the Black Lodge. Bring a sponge and a rusty spanner, won't you?"


KY & BUNNYGAL IN THE ARMS

"Pain reminds us not to try so hard next time."

"The new album will surprise a few people - mainly those who have congenital deafness."

In response to @PapaSonsFilm tweeting, "@BoyGeorge @MorrisseyParody The greatest story told on Twitter. Missed by all but a very privileged few, recorded by @TheRatsBack's blog":

"@PapaSonsFilm How is the (MorrisseysWorld) documentary coming along?"

Marcus Markou (aka @PapaSonsFilm) replied: "@MorrisseyParody No one believes me. Everyone is now certain of my insanity" and added, "I am knee deep in Papa the musical. Started today. Proper interest. Doing book for it. Fancy doing a number?", to which @MorrisseyParody replied:

"@PapaSonsFilm No thanks." I pointed out that the MW documentary would have been the making of Marcus, and that it was an opportunity missed. Moz replied:

"@TheRatsBack @PapaSonsFilm Most opportunities are missed in life. Marcus could do something genuinely ground-breaking, instead he's playing it safe. Had I allowed Mike Joyce to write the lyrics, I might still be living in a council house."

"@PapaSonsFilm You were given the story."


A MAN WHO PROBABLY LIVES IN A COUNCIL HOUSE, PRETENDING TO BE MORRISSEY, OUTSIDE MORRISSEY'S OLD COUNCIL HOUSE.... SURREAL

"Alcohol makes us forget the sad times. After a while we drink to forget the happy times. Finally we drink because alcohol is all we remember."

"I walked alone along the pier at 4.22 am, The sea was louder than I remembered, You pretty face dead in the clouds, Raining into my heart."

"A boat rocked and my eyelids hurt, But why did you do that thing? Why did you swallow those pills? I have no words, Instead just the rain."

In response to @LizzyCatMoz asking, "Are you enjoying the tour? I imagine the travelling must be tiring.":

"@LizzyCatMoz I prefer being tired. A tired mind is an empty mind. Anything is better than thinking." It is interesting to note that Morrissey didn't mention having a virus, which the media have reported is the reason for tonight's cancellation.... but then again, @morrisseyParody isn't really Morrissey, it's just a parody!

And then he was gone.

We now have to wait until Friday for another concert, and I just hope that some Youtube footage emerges from Atlantic City or Boston on Saturday, otherwise the Twitterdilly Chart on Tuesday will have nothing in it! With Astraea having also left closed her twitter account, there is just NO music being played in The Arms, although away from The Arms, I am listening to Earth is the Loneliest Planet on repeat; it is my favourite Morrissey song EVER... for this week at least! Yesterday evening, EITLP sat at Number 37 in the UK I tunes chart, but will it make it into this Sunday's chart? I doubt it; still Harvest sleep, and Harvest's Managing Director of Digital Dithering, Bich Biro continues to spend her time promoting LA politician Bobby Slither instead of Morrissey. You couldn't make this up!

MORRISSEY CONTEMPLATES JUMPING OFF THE CAPITOL TOWER, WHILST PAMELA ANDERSON WATCHES ON.... AND THEN DECIDES TO GO LOOKING FOR A HARVEST REP INSTEAD......


...... BUT CANNOT FIND ONE

That will do for today. @mecaniqueorange posted this on twitter yesterday, which gives the tossing away of the red rose in Pomona a whole new meaning. Was it a reference to The Nightingale and the Rose?:

"From the archives: Morrissey "accepts" a red rose and throws it away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Of2DJ5sCZ0 #TheNightingaleAndTheRose

And apparently Morrissey has been staying in the same Miami hotel as the England football team, allegedly spending some time with Leighton Baines, whose friend then subsequently posted a picture of Baines at Glastonbury in 2011, where he had gone to see Moz.

I wasn't going to write a blog entry today, but earlier this afternoon (mid morning East Coast USA) Kristeen Young announced that she would no longer be opening for Morrissey, so here I am.





If I'm honest, I had guessed that something was afoot when KY revealed to me on Tuesday that she had sung on the Morrissey song Kick the Bride Down the Aisle. It wasn't exactly an act of treachery by Kristeen to make such a revelation, but it was a surprise none the less, because Morrissey is usually so secretive about such things.

KY had also announced on Tuesday that she was not ill; after it had initially been stated that her illness was one of the reasons that Wednesday's Atlanta show had been cancelled. Again, it looked as though KY was being slightly defiant, and the cancellation statement had to be changed to a virus affecting Morrissey/band and crew. It should also be noted by all those concerned for Morrissey's health, that a virus doesn't necessarily have to be bacterial! Cue Log Lady, "Viruses come in many different forms. Viruses can spread, viruses can be contained, viruses....", actually, I haven't got time to be Log Lady, so I shall continue.

I knew before Kristeen's Facebook announcement that she was leaving the tour, as Morrissey had hinted it to me in the toilets of The Twitterdilly Arms an hour earlier. Those toilets don't half see some action! Morrissey didn't go into the ins and outs, or the whys and wherefores, but my guess would be that Kristeen has not made herself available for future legs of the tour, and there may therefore have been a little tantrum thrown. As I say, it's just a guess, perhaps there weren't any tantrums at all, but the fact that Kristeen is leaving straight away reminds me of an incident that happened to me once.

I won't bore anybody with the whole of my story, but basically I had an employee who was by far my best worker. One day she told me she was leaving; to set up in the same industry on her own. It had apparently taken her ages to make the decision to go it alone, and it had also taken her ages to pluck up the courage to tell me. She cried genuine tears as she handed in her resignation and I was fully aware of how much she loved working for both me and my company. Did I hug her and wish her all the best? No, I kicked her out on the spot and didn't even let her say her goodbyes to colleagues. I have very few regrets in life, but that reaction of mine on that September day in 2007 was not one i look back with with any sense of satisfaction.

It is a real shame that Kristeen is leaving Morrissey's tour, but as I told Morrissey in the toilets, I personally believe it is the right thing for her to do. The Knife Shift is one of my favourite albums EVER, and Kristeen Young is a tremendously talented artist who should be headlining her own tours. What is a terrible, terrible shame, is that KY is leaving the Morrissey tour with immediate effect. It would be great if that wasn't to happen after all.

For the record, here is Morrissey's official announcement: http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2014/06/04/morrissey-cancels-atlanta-concert-again/

As Morrissey and the touring party recover from a virus, the engagement in Atlantic City at the Revel Ovation Hall has been postponed to Sunday, June 22. All previously purchased tickets will be honored on the new date. The tour will resume as originally scheduled, without question, at the Boston Opera House on Saturday, June 7.

Only yesterday, a new Kristeen Young interview was posted on Redeyechicago.Com, and in the interview Kristeen spoke affectionately about Moz, saying, "he's very giving to me actually. He opens my pickle jars." http://www.redeyechicago.com/entertainment/music/redeye-kristeen-young-interview-with-redeye-20140604,0,4537825.story?page=1

It is now time for Kristeen to open her own pickle jars. She has the voice of a bird, so I dearly hope she soars like one too, she deserves to. If she ever tours the UK, I will be at the front of the queue.



And now, I just can't wait for Morrissey to return to the stage on Saturday. He is at his peak, and is heading back to Number 1. I have offered the services of myself and Willow as the new opening act. Morrissey replied, "What? As an opening act? You and Plimsoll lady are hired. Start rehearsing."

It is sometimes easy to forget that The Twitterdilly Arms is not actually a quiet back-street pub, but is in fact a huge worldwide stage; it's just that not many people can see it. Twitter is so full of meaningless nothingness, that when somebody like Morrissey comes along; without the use of 'official blue ticks' or celebrity endorsement, the proverbial wood cannot be seen for the trees.

As I have written many times over the past three years, Morrissey uses Twitter almost as a theatrical stage, bringing different characters/pessoas into the story. It is not always easy to tell which characters are actually Morrissey, but one 'character' that is easy to recognise as Moz, is the parody of himself, i.e. @MorrisseyParody (formerly @MorrisseysWorld). Ironically, this Twitter account isn't a parody of Morrissey at all, it is the REAL Morrissey, laid bare for all to see, but because he doesn't have the 'Official Twitter Tick', and because he bears the word 'parody', he is ignored by all those outside of The Twitterdilly Arms.


MORRISSEY - NO TICK

A few of Morrissey's celebrity friends know FULL WELL that @MorrisseyParody is Morrissey, but they have been silenced. I believe that Russell Brand was initially among us back in 2011, but was probably asked by Moz to stay away, in case his ego gave the game away. We also know that Jonathan Ross 'knows', as back in January he favourited a tweet by @BlueRoseSociety, even though he wasn't using twitter at that time.

The only celebrity to have openly claimed that Parody Morrissey is the real Morrissey is Boy George, who even listed him in the Observer magazine as his favourite tweeter.... but NOBODY picked up on it. The Solowers did discuss it, but the moderator, Uncle Skinny shot everybody down: http://www.morrissey-solo.com/content/756-Boy-George-lists-Morrisseysworld-as-his-number-one-choice-as-his-favorite-tweeter (Note 'Leon's' comment on that thread, which even mentions the wearing of a blue rose as a coincidence even before it had actually occurred! *coughs*).


MORRISSEY WEARING A BLUE ROSE

I believe that yet another Morrissey pessoa has turned up in the Twitterdilly Arms, but I have only just realised it. This new pessoa is @mechaniqueorange. At first I thought that @mechaniqueorange was a pessoa of Jack Shet; as he arrived at the same time as Jack's @TheRatsTalisman pessoa, but I now realise that is NOT the case. I will leave others to make up their own minds about @mechaniqueorange, but here is a diary of his tweets for the month of May:

MAY 24:

@LizzyCatMoz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boFYrCbjSyU&t=1m30s



"A Taste of Twin Peaks" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ejwoe83uF8&t=1m44s



"@LizzyCatMoz Roses are red, roses are blue, white shirts change colour in Jacoby's view"





Also on May 24, @mecaniqueorange favourited a Youtube clip posted by @Rough_seas2 of Bonobo Apes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsUHuurFLXM&app=desktop  This footage HAS to be watched to be believed. Bonobos are more human like than most human beings, and far more intelligent than anybody you will find on Solow:





MAY 25:

"@TheRatsBack Looks like somebody needs a tambourine lesson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ouBnu9AQcU"



MAY 26:

In response to @sorcha69 tweeting, "welcome to the  #bluerosesociety madness @mecaniqueorange x":

"@sorcha69 Thank you, I find myself in the middle of a labyrinth and can't get out, the signs are all wrong!"

Also on May 26, @mechaniqueorange favourited a tweet from @PamelaAnderson which read, "Hey Fans! I'm doing a follow spree! Just follow me + Fav this tweet. I'll follow you asap! - Pamela Anderson" The account is NOT the official Twitter account of Pamela Anderson, it is an account that seems to have been set up on May 26, but somehow, despite having posted just that one tweet, the account has 103,134 followers! How? It could be because the account has an 'official looking' blue stamp next to it, but it is NOT a Twitter tick of authenticity like @itsmorrissey had, it is actually a BLUE M, as used by Morrissey fans on Twitter! An unofficial Pamela Anderson account with a Morrissey sign! What makes the whole thing even more interesting, is that @mecaniqueorange was favouriting tweets posted by a 'Morrissey loving Pamela Anderson' BEFORE any of us knew that PA was in a Morrissey video! Hmm.

MAY 27:

"@MozzeriansATW Will he surprise us with an Elvis cover tonight? Blue Suede Shoes or San Antonio Rose?" It should be noted that Morrissey DIDN'T sing either of those songs in Memphis on May 27, but the following night Moz did sing Tammy Wynette's Til I get It Right during Speedway.

MAY 28: 

A retweet of @TheRatsTalisman's picture of Cocteau's blue rose:



"Check out the episode titles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blue_Rose" (All episodes of the New Zealand drama, 'The Blue Rose' are named after Smiths songs!)
"@LizzyCatMoz That wasn't mentioned before? I need to get my hands on that series. The plot reads like a Twin Peaks parallel; it begins with a corpse, then people form secret alliances to solve the mystery. I'd say it depends on the BRS agents to find out what this means. I heard @girlwithout and @ericacalil are very talented."

MAY 29:

A retweet of @BlueRoseSociet's tweet which read, "Introducing Morrissey's Blue Rose Society (Updated). Please link this to ALL Morrissey fans: bluerosesociety.blogspot.co.uk"

MAY 30:

"Stunning footage of the Blue Rose song in Memphis, this is MORRISSEY with Trouble Loves Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3qKTSxpJM4"

In response to @TheRatsBack's tweet suggesting that it should be obligatory for Morrissey to wear a blue rose whilst singing Trouble: "@TheRatsBack Would we want him to be that obvious? There's footage with him wearing a blue rose singing Trouble!"

In response to @NastyaAmes asking, "Who are you?": "@NastyaAmes I'm just an orange. Who are you, sweet child?"

"@sorcha69 I heard there's a vellocet dispenser somewhere hidden in the Twit Arms, tell me if you can find it xox". @sorcha69 replied, "I think fifi has the key in her bra...x", to which MO replied, "@sorcha69 That brings us into Trouble, I heard rumours that La Mademoiselle is a bit moody.."

A retweet of a tweet by @LIONS4Mercy of a photo of an injured horse:



A retweet of @BlueRoseSociety's tweet which read, "@tiller91 Thank you for throwing your rose to Morrissey at the encore."

A retweet of @tiller91's tweet which read, "my smushed yellow rose at :21 (had smuggled inside my pocketbook) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8c-Fizkm48"

A retweet of @Rough_seas2's tweet which read, "TAMMY WYNETTE - TIL I GET IT RIGHT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2zUrXB2Wd8&feature=youtu.be

Also on May 31, @mechaniqueorange favourited this tweeted picture by @NatyaAmes of A Clockwork Orange, which has Morrissey laying on the book cover:




The June tweets by @mechaniqueorange are even more 'Moz like', but I will leave everybody to read them for themselves, although I must mention three from yesterday. Firstly, MO posted this tweet:

"A moving non-official video of Istanbul Morrissey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWn5iqSdJUs." It is indeed a really good video, which has apparently been put together using a montage of scenes from the film Küf/Mold. The only thing that doesn't quite work for me is the age of the man in the video, as I am picturing the character in the Istanbul song being a man in his late 30s looking for a son of about 18:


The second OM tweet from yesterday that I want to mention is one sent in reply to @TheRatsTalisman's tweeted photoshop picture of Morrissey with flowers that TRT had turned blue. OM wrote, "If I was better with photoshop, I'd make a picture of a Moz audience that's awash with roses." The third tweet read, "Maybe one day there'll be no need to photoshop such a scene, because it will become reality. One can dream.."


"ONE CAN DREAM.." - OM (BELIEVED TO BE A FRUIT SHAPED PARODY MOZ)

If I am wrong about @mechaniqueorange, then I have just wasted the last three hours of my life, but the hours were laying around doing nothing, so it doesn't matter..... and anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm right.

The only other pessoa to have been spotted in The Arms in the past 24 hours is Broken (@Broken1andOnly), who has been posting LOTS of Bieber pictures, including a couple at 5.15 this morning, which obviously the real Morrissey would NEVER do!

There has been no further 'official news' from either Morrissey or Kristeen Young regarding the tour, so I have no idea if my plea of yesterday for KY to remain on this leg of the tour has worked or not; although I'm pretty sure it hasn't, because I have received 'unofficial news' from the toilets of the Twit Arms saying, "Shouldn't you be rehearsing? Your Can Can needs a bit of work. However, I am jealous of your mid air splits."

A comment left on yesterday's blog entry by Romina, tends to suggest that I was wrong about Moz having a tantrum and kicking Kristeen Young off the tour. Romina seems to think Kristeen walked out on the tour because of the Atlanta concert being cancelled, or has something got lost in translation? How would Romina know? Here is her comment:

Hello Ratty, my opinion about Kristeen will never change, she's a talented and original woman and her new album is very interesting, but I think is not very professional leave a planned tour after only one show cancelled due illness and simply saying we wont. I dont wanna add something more about this and I know you're busy with rehearsal...Romina, with 'usband's tablet and with the suspect of aa surprise....

And finally for today, I want to mention videos. Morrissey's spoken word video for Earth is the Loneliest Planet; which was released on Monday, has so far had an incredible 103,171 hits, but the song still won't make it into Sunday's chart. No doubt a full length video would have made more of an impact on sales, as would a vinyl and cd release, so one can only presume that Morrissey can't be particularly bothered about the charts anymore, or surely he would have pulled out all the stops?


I have previously written that I believe that the song, World Peace is None of Your Business is as strong a song as Meat is Murder. I also believe that if the single of WPINOYB had had a really hard hitting video, it could have been a massive hit. Somebody has made a Youtube video for the song which goes some of the way to sending that message:


It's a weekend of cricket for me, so I shall return on Monday, hopefully with lots of video footage from Saturday's concert in Boston, where perhaps we might even see the odd blue rose.

I am reliably informed by GWO that @orangemechanique is NOT Morrissey, so it would appear that my blog entry of Friday was a waste of time. I am also reliably informed that @Broken1andonly tweeted throughout the Morrissey concert in Boston last night, which therefore means he too is NOT Morrissey.

I started this blog to record the activities of The Mozziah, i.e. Morrissey as @MorrisseysWorld, and NOT to record the activities of people who are clearly NOT Morrissey. It is time for me to go and enjoy the cricket season.

The details of Morrissey's concert in Boston can be found at Morrissey-Solo.com, which remains the only website on the internet to find information from Morrissey concerts. I'm starting to sound a bit pissed off aren't I? I'm tired. I'm confused. I should stop writing.... but before I do, I must mention that Kick the bride down the Aisle was sung for the first time last night and The Queen is Dead was the opening song. Kristeen Young did NOT open for Morrissey last night.
