Following The Mozziah

Three days ago, Our Mozzer wrote, "Broken will find new projects; sadly I shall not. The death of MorrisseysWorld has created a void which I doubt will ever be filled."

Naturally, this comment led me to believe that the MorrisseysWorld story was over, but yesterday, both Broken and Astraea strolled back into The Twitterdilly Arms as though nothing had ever happened. The pair ordered a magnum of Veuve, and then proceeded to spend the next couple of hours looking at pictures of Justin Bieber. The MW story continues.

ASTRAEA AND BROKEN IN THE TWITTERDILLY ARMS

I have no idea when Broken and Astraea became friends, and they seem an unlikely pairing bearing in mind that Broken is Our Mozzer's right hand man, and Astraea is Fifi's twin. Our Mozzer has made it quite plain that he is not a Fifi fan. To put it in terms of current events, it is the equivalent of Boz Boorer sharing an evening in the pub with "Baby" Jeff White.

I don't think there is much point in anybody trying to fully understand what MorrisseysWorld is all about, but it has elements of Lord of the Flies, Life of Brian,Twin Peaks, plus much more. It would seem to me that Broken's role is to isolate and divide..... plus drool over Justin Bieber pictures. Whenever there is disruption within the ranks of the BRS, Broken can usually be found at the centre, but it doesn't make him a bad person, he is just very good at exposing human frailties and prejudices.

Was GOB really a homophobe? I very much doubt it, she just made a couple of inappropriate comments that Broken highlighted. Perhaps Broken was using GOB as an example of how Morrissey is treated by the media. I still believe that Morrissey is behind Broken, but it is obvious from the fact that Broken was tweeting whilst Morrissey was on stage, that if Morrissey is behind Broken, he cannot be the only person to use that particular twitter account. Just because somebody owns a car, it doesn't mean that they are always the driver.

Astraea's role to date in the MW story, has been to play quality songs on the Twit Arms jukebox, and offer gentle words. In the past few days, Astraea has become more like Broken, and yesterday tweeted to Broken, "I would get a picture of his (Justin Bieber) face tattooed on my left breast."What has happened to her?

Apart from posting LOTS of half naked Bieber pictures yesterday, Broken also tweeted this to me, in response to my tweet announcing that Trouble Loves Me is still the BRS No.1: "@TheRatsBack Surely should have been "As long as you love me" by JB in the circumstances. B*****d."

AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME BY JUSTIN BIEBER - CURRENTLY NUMBER 11 ON THE BRS CHART

When I replied to Broken to say that the chart positions were out of my hands, he laid into me with this: "@TheRatsBack You've got some nerve tweeting me after the crap you pulled the other day Rat. still, a C****'s a c***."

Broken also tweeted:

"Morrissey grow up! A mild viral illness doesn't take THAT long to recover from! You'd think he'd been struck down with leprosy or Ebola Zaire! In fact he has a cold!"

MORRISSEY IN BOSTON - DOESN'T HAVE EBOLA ZAIRE

God only knows where the MW story goes from here, but in the mean time; GCSE exams are over, the first test match of the English cricket season started today, the football World Cup kicks off this evening, and the Isle of Wight Festival has started too. Summer is here. I have asked Boy George to wear a blue rose at the IW Festival tonight in support of Morrissey and the BRS, so let's see if he does. He knows, you know.

NICE AND SLOW BY BOY GEORGE - CURRENTLY NUMBER 22 ON THE BRS CHART

And finally, amongst all the fallouts in Morrissey's World in recent days, British comedian Rik Mayall dropped dead. Untimely deaths always serve as a great reminder of life. Rik Mayall's forgotten World Cup song of four years ago is now heading towards the Number 1 spot. Let's just hope that nobody with a forgotten LP drops dead in the week beginning July 14th!

*Goes off singing* Kick the bride down the aisle, in a mudslide of gloom

I signed off my blog yesterday with these words:

"It has now been thirteen days since Morrissey's fallout with Kristeen Young, and there is still no sign that Morrissey is anything but broken. Hopefully BRS members will put aside their own feelings, and show support for BrokenMorrissey, but what I expect will happen, is that the comments section of this blog entry will fill with those saying "Broken said this, and Broken said that, and Broken's not very nice." Human nature."

I was of course right, but not only was the comments section filled with hatred aimed at a Broken Morrissey, it was also filled with a load of abuse for me, and the same old accusations that I am Broken, which therefore means that not only have I spent the last three years writing about myself, but it also means that for the whole of yesterday evening, when a Broken Morrissey was once again in The Twitterdilly Arms, I must have been posting all the tweets whilst I stood umpiring a cricket match.... in an area with no phone signal.

Anyway, before I report on the events of last night, here is a resume of the (phenomenal) story so far:

A blog and Twitter account called MorrisseysWorld were created by two characters known as Our Mozzer and BrokenMorrissey; both of whom I believe to be pessoa's of the former lead singer of the 80s pop group the Smiths, Morrissey. From MW came the Blue Rose Society (BRS), a society created by Our Mozzer for those fans of his who were interested in irony, comedy, mystery and Morrissey. Our Mozzer is currently away in the hills licking his wounds following yet another load of shit in the life of Morrissey. Currently propping up the bar of The Twitterdilly Arms; a make belief online drinking house run by the BRS, is the pessoa BrokenMorrissey (@Broken1andonly). Broken is, as he describes in his own words, "a fat c*nt with no life", who is also "a pointless phobic gay virgin in his late 30s", and "a human being in deep, deep shit"... and they are his good points. BrokenMorrissey is full of self hatred, loathing, and is in desperate need of being loved, especially in light of recent events in the life of Morrissey. Instead of receiving love and understanding, the Broken Morrissey is currently being prodded with a stick by a number of the regulars of The Twitterdilly Arms.

Here are Broken's comments from my blog entry of yesterday:

In response to this comment left by George Edge:
"for me the blue rose society was about acceptance,
love and friendship. it was not about hate. I don't care
*who* THAT person is/was and of their importance
to this whole *journey* ... I will not allow Willow to be
treated in such a vile manner ... and if you make excuses
for their behaviour then you are just as despicable as
they are. if this is what the Blue Rose Society represents,
then I no longer want to be a part of it. GOODBYE."

"Thank goodness that trivial diva has gone. I know he's probably a lovely guy, and he's been so much a part of BRS, but the triviality of his posts and the petty two-facedness irked me somewhat. Sometimes the dead wood doesn't need cutting away; it simply falls."

In response to this comment left by Father Brian:
"The Soil is falling.....
Morrissey Swords is Louder than Bombs.
Maybe in the next World?
Very sad that this entire great thing collapsed so quickly. Maybe something greater will come?
NOTHING."

"It's not QUITE over."

In response to this comment left by Willow:
"Thank you George. That means a lot to me. I'm not sure what I did to provoke Broken's attack yesterday, but I was genuinely extremely upset at the things he said about me. I don't care how much pain he is in, I'm not his whipping boy. If that makes me selfish & self-centred, then I am. It also mean I have self-respect, & won't be treated like shit by anyone for whatever reason."

"Are you sure you're not chuck? You demonstrate all the same traits. You're also very good at playing the victim.
Feel free to leave - there's the door."

"I have it from OM that if you ban the following, MW may return - as a members only club.
George (edge)
GOB
Lizzy
Willow
Chuck
... and let there be peace"

And here are Broken's Twitter offering's from yesterday:

"I notice the pathetic individual called GOB is using the opportunity once again to claim she WASN'T int he wrong... so if you follow her, unfollow me, and never post on FTM again."

In response to @caterita2008 posting: "@Broken1and only GOB is a nice person and if you dont like her dont look at her": "Ban @caterita2008 from FTM. It's up to rat what he does. If he bans her, fine. if he doesn't, MW will never return."

"If there are only three MWers left after today, no matter. We will start again and open the blog only for those on the approved list."

"OM has signalled his intention to return, but his refusal to be part of such an unpleasant and compromised community."

So there we have it, the lack of compassion all round has led to another round of bannings from the BRS, although Romina (@caterita2008) is not on the above list, so I wait for clarification from the Broken Morrissey as to whether she is banned or not. I also wait for clarification of the length if the bans. Perhaps we might even get a BRS Bans Committee parody piece!

Yesterday I allowed the trolls to leave a load of anonymous abuse, today I won't. Today is the rebirth of the BRS. This society belongs to Morrissey, whether that be a happy Morrissey or a broken one, and if you don't show support when he needs support, then this is NOT the place for you. I shall sign off for today with an anonymous posting from yesterday that I actually quite liked. I have no idea if it is an original piece, perhaps the anon who wrote it could let me know:

Trouble is a poor substitute for great art.
Self harm alleviates pain in the heart.
Your best days are behind you,
Your worst are a waking fear.
The slow descent to darkness,
Soothed in the sewer with Rats.
A smile breaks across your ageing face,
Like the opening of an old wound.

*Goes back up the hill singing* It wasn't me either, I'm just his mate, he told me to stand here and watch the gate.

It has now been one week since Morrissey lumped me in with the "false friends" and dumped me. Rather than lash out and write things that I might later regret, I closed my blog and twitter accounts, and took myself up into the hills to lick my wounds and reflect. After three days, I was able to see that Morrissey was deeply, deeply hurting from all the latest crap in his life, i.e. the cancellation of his tour, the fallout with longtime friends Kristeen Young and Tony Visconti, and the poor promotion of his latest records by Harvest. I reopened my blog to offer support. My twitter account remains closed but Cousin Fluff remains in The Twitterdilly Arms looking out for Morrissey pessoa's so that I can report events in MorrisseysWorld.

The Twit Arms is currently rather empty since Broken had a clear out of the BRS members, although Broken himself pops in from time to time, usually with Astraea.

All the cleared out BRS members took to posting dozens of anonymous posts on FTM yesterday, attacking myself, Broken, Heather, EARS, Jazissey and others. They have taken NO time to reflect and think about how Morrissey must be feeling, and how broken he is; all they are interested in is themselves. They have even formed a breakaway group, which they have rather imaginatively called.... The Blue Rose Society. This gets more like Life of Brian every day (everyday?), but at least the Judean People's Front had the good grace not to call themselves the People's Front of Judea!

I deleted all of the anonymous messages from yesterday, as they were all totally irrelevant, but I awoke to find even more, which I couldn't even be bothered to read, let alone delete. One particular troll kept posting a link to http://deconstructingmw.blogspot.co.uk, so I have added it today today to save them the effort.

Before I report on Broken's tweets from yesterday, here is a little bit of other news:

There have been three new TTY statements:

STATEMENT 1:

18 June 2014

Istanbul

Istanbul by Morrissey is #1 this week on college radio in Germany.

The above statement would appear to be a dig at Harvest, or it could of course just be a little self deprecation. If it is a dig at Harvest, the digs were started not by Morrissey, but by Our Mozzer three weeks ago, as reported here: http://followingthemozziah.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/day-991-seven-weeks-today.html

STATEMENT 2:

Boz Boorer statement

19 June 2014

I have just returned from 5 days in the mountains of Portugal where I am cut off from the internet. It appears I have missed an awful lot. Search as I have I can only find snippets of Tony Visconti's postings and I am very shocked and disappointed at what I have read and can only wonder why he immediately withdrew the postings with no explanation. Kristeen has been a constant companion on the road for so long and I am also bewildered by her actions also immediately withdrawn from view. I hate to throw wood on an already blazing fire but I am afraid I cannot sit back and watch this slander.
Boz Boorer

STATEMENT 3:

19 June 2014

Music Week

The British music industry media magazine Music Week has, for this week, been rebranded Morrissey Week.

MOJO magazine are also asking if WPINOYB is Morrissey's best album in 20 years:

Embedded image permalink

And now for Broken's highlights:

"Now blundering Boz wades in to defend 'His Mozness' from the existential threat of Young/Visconti."

"Moz wheels out two of the least articulate musicians he's ever had to defend his honour and impugn the integrity of his latest foe."

"How sad that Morrissey feels the need to bully his subordinates into this kind of nonsense. One can imagine the email from his PA... "Write an email telling your side of the story please and email Julia." By your side, of course it means Morrissey's side."

"Freedom of speech was abolished in the MorrisseyBand the day Spencer left."

Astraea was by Broken's side admiring Biebs, but also took time to post some songs:

That is all for today. I continue to mourn the events of recent weeks, and offer support to the BrokenMorrissey. I remain up in the hills and will only reopen my twitter account if Our Mozzer returns. The one good thing going on in the world of Morrissey is the music. I have been listening to The Bullfighter Dies on repeat, and it is definitely my favourite track from the album. The accordion gives it a real continental feel. The recorded version seems slower than the live version, but it is still a rip roaring 2 minute pop song. The new LP is now just 25 days away. Exciting and good times lay ahead.

Right then, back up to those hills, although today's hills are actually two cricket matches, at these venues:

The anons will no doubt leave another load of abuse today, but I won't see it, and it means nothing. They will tire soon..... or reflect. Morrissey is broken, and needs support.

*Goes off singing* I don't like cricket, oh no.....

The setting is a dimly lit room upstairs in The Twitterdilly Arms. Loughton Lil is sat at the head of a table and is looking at a piece of paper. Also around the table are Rat, HeatherCat, EARS, Broken, Astraea, MancLad, GWO, Romina, Comrade Harps, Fancy, Jon the Con, Poetic Luke, Jazissey, Vulgar Angie, Moz Fiend and two Anons. Fluff is in a corner, sorting through some records. It is present day.

HEATHER: Can we have some lights on, it's awfully dark in here.

LOUGHTON: I'm afraid not, Heather, the lecky's been cut off. With nobody currently drinking in The Twitterdilly Arms, we haven't had any money coming in through the till to pay the bill. I'll light another candle if that helps. (Loughton Lil lights a candle and then addresses the room) Right then, if everybody is ready, let me bring to order the 2014 Annual General Meeting of The Blue Rose Society. You should all have a copy of the Agenda in front of you, so let's start with item 1, 'Apologies for Absence'.

(There is silence)

EARS: What about Our Mozzer? (Everybody looks towards Broken who is looking at pictures of Justin Bieber in a magazine, whilst simultaneously defacing anybody who is in the pictures with JB. Broken has drawn a beard and moustache on Selena Gomez, whilst Lil Wayne now sports a large ring through the septum of his nose, and has the words 'UGLY TWAT' written across his cheek in capital letters.)

BROKEN: (Not looking up, and continuing to deface Lil Wayne) OM told me that he couldn't be bothered; not only with this meeting, but with anything. I know how he feels. I'm not really sure why I've come here, but I've got nothing else to do, so I thought fuck it, why not! Don't mark OM down as an apology, he wouldn't like that.

LOUGHTON: (to Heather) Can you please take notes Heather until we have officially appointed a secretary?

HEATHER: Yes, of course. Broken, can I borrow your pen please?

BROKEN: No, sod off.

ROMINA: He say that to me the other day too. His beehiveur is getting out off hand. Can nobody stop this, he is breaking up the family!

BROKEN: (To Romina) I thought I'd banned you? You're the one who was standing up for that dreadful GOB woman.

ROMINA: I stand up for GOB because you are a bully and you are driving everybody away. You may be a broken person, but that is no excuse for treating people like you treat them. Look how few people are here for our Annual Major Meeting.

RAT: It's general meeting, Romina, not major.

ROMINA: Oh, Rat. You know me, always getting thins mixed up. I knew it was an army officer of some kind. My 'usband's brother was a major in the Italian army, which is why I make this mistake. Please forgive me. (Addressing the whole table) Has anybody got any aspirin? I have a terrible headache, and the only tablet I have is my 'usband's iPad.

(EARS opens her handbag, and then passes Romina two paracetamols, and gives Heather a pen)

ROMINA: Thank you dear EARS. (Romina crunches the paracetamols with her teeth and swallows them without a drink. Everybody winces).

HEATHER: (To Loughton Lil) What shall I write under apologies for absence?

LOUGHTON: Write "none received", but also a note saying "Our Mozzer not in attendance." (Addressing the whole table) I'll move onto Item 2 on the Agenda, 'Election of Officers'. Let's start with Chairman. I have obviously taken on the role temporarily to get this meeting started, but can I please take formal nominations.

GWO: I'd like to propose you Lil. The role suits you.

MANCLAD: Seconded.

RAT: I'd quite like to be Chairman. Can I propose myself?

LOUGHTON: Er, no, not really. Are there any proposals for Rat?

BROKEN: I doubt it, he's a cunt.

ROMINA: There yew go again, always calling the names. It is no wonder that you have no friends.

BROKEN: I don't want any friends.

LOUGHTON: Do we have any other nominations for Chairman? (There is silence) OK, in that case, I am duly elected Chairman, and I shall continue to chair this meeting. (There is a ripple of applause.) May I have nominations for Vice Chairman?

ASTRAEA: I propose Harrison. Such a lovely sweet boy.

RAT: Er, he's joined the other lot.

ASTRAEA: Other lot? What other lot?

MANCLAD: It's a BRS splinter group. They've apparently got a Facebook group, Twitter account and all sorts. They look well organised.

LOUGHTON: How many followers does the Twitter account have?

HEATHER: Twenty so far.

LOUGHTON: That's more than us! Who's in it?

HEATHER: There's Willow, George Edge, Harrison, Roberto Ferdenzi, Southkirk, GOB, Yunara-

LOUGHTON: (Sounding surprised) -We've lost Yunara?

BROKEN: Who the fuck's Yunara?

HEATHER: We've also lost Clover Dean, Nicole, Sorcha, Mad Alix and Inge Kersten to them.

BROKEN: Good riddance to the lot of 'em. It would appear that the tree prunes itself.

HEATHER: Romina is on their list too!

RAT: But Romina is here! (To Romina) What are you doing joining the other BRS, Romina?

ROMINA: Well, I thought I was banned from this BRS, and I still wanted to be in a BRS, so I joined the other BRS so that I am not without a BRS.

LOUGHTON: It's very confusing that the other BRS have called themselves the BRS. How are people going to know what BRS they are in?

EARS: Perhaps we should change our name?

RAT: We can't do that, we're the BRS! They'll have to change their name.

GWO: I very much doubt they'll be up for changing, and anyway, it's quite funny having two BRS's. Perhaps the whole thing will go full circle, and one day the two BRS's will unite.

RAT: Am I in a dream? Am I watching Life of Brian? Will somebody pinch me?

BROKEN: Gladly. I'll give you a good kick in the knackers too, you self-righteous prick.

LOUGHTON: Can we please get back to the Agenda. We still need to elect a Vice Chairman.

BROKEN: Bollocks to a Vice Chairman. Move on.

LOUGHTON: OK, let's move on to the 'Election of President'. The current President; as elected by Our Mozzer, is Kyle, so I'd like to propose that as it was originally the wish of Our Mozzer to have Kyle as President, we formally elect him. Do I have a seconder?

COMRADE HARPS: I'll second Kyle. I think it's great that there is a younger generation of Moz fans coming through.

LOUGHTON: Any other nominations for President? NO? Then Kyle is duly elected President of the BRS.

ROMINA: Is that the official BRS or the unofficial one?

LOUGHTON: Official. We are the official BRS.

RAT: Hmm, I'm not sure Our Mozzer would want us having any sort of official tag, I think we'd better be the Unofficial BRS.

ROMINA: But surely the other group that I have joined are the unofficial ones? I am very confused.

RAT: We have another problem too.

LOUGHTON: What problem, Rat?

RAT: Kyle's dad resigned from the BRS two days ago, so does that mean Kyle has gone too?

JAZISSEY: IS there anybody left?

FANCY: I'm still here.

MOZ FIEND: And me.

JON THE CON: Me too.

POETIC LUKE: Yep.

VULGAR ANGIE: And me, I'm still here. Am I still the Vice President?

LOUGHTON: Funnily enough that's up next. As Kyle has officially been elected as President, he retains his position; whether his father remains in the BRS or not, so let's move on to the 'Election of Vice President'. I would like to propose Vulgar Angie.

RAT: Seconded.

LOUGHTON: Any other nominations? (There is silence). OK, Vulgar Angie is duly elected as Vice president of the BRS.

ROMINA: But wheech BRS?

LOUGHTON: Well, this one of course.

ROMINA: I am still confused.

BROKEN: This is all bollocks. I've had enough of this. If Our Mozzer doesn't return, this whole thing is over, so I don't know why you are bothering with all these officer elections. (Broken picks up his magazine, takes one last lingering look at Biebs, rolls the magazine up, and then leaves.)

ANON 1: The 'Our Mozzer' character is Rat; everybody knows that. This whole thing is just a scam made up by him to trick Morrissey fans.

ANON 2: No, no, no, you are wrong my anonymous friend. Our Mozzer really is Moz, and Rat will do anything to get his attention and show him that he is his number one fan. He would sell his children just for a pat on the head from Moz.

ANON 1: No, you are the wrong one, and I am NOT your friend. The whole MorrisseysWorld bollocks has been made up by Rat. He is Our Mozzer, Broken, Fifi, plus a load of other characters, some of whom are sat around this table.

ANON 2: Look, I don't want to fall out with you, we anons have much in common, but you are obviously fairly new around here. I can absolutely assure you that Rat isn't the person behind MorrisseysWorld, that really, reallyis Morrissey, but as I said, Rat would do anything, and I do mean anything if he thought it would make him Morrissey's friend.

ANON 1: I don't care how long you've been around, if you really believe that Morrissey is involved in all this, you are as deluded as the rest of them. Can you please change your name, as I don't want anything to do with you.

ROMINA: And now the Anons are splitting into two separate groups, I just cannot keep up.

LOUGHTON: I think I'd better bring this meeting to a close. The date of the next BRS AGM is set for June 21 2015; if there is still a BRS, and if we aren't closed down. Before we finish, is there any other business?

FLUFF: Yes, please don't forget the Twitterdilly Arms Chart countdown on Tuesday at 12.45. Should be a good 'un. Not 'arf.

(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?

MORRISSEY IN BEAUMONT TEXAS

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"

Embedded image permalink

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!!!!"

‏@NoelGaIlagher

@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...

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:

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 ·

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.

MOZ AND THE BOYS HAVING A KICK ABOUT PRE-SHOW

I have nothing more to add today, so I shall add nothing more. Tonight is the last concert for a few days. It is in the rather grand looking Knight Concert Hall in Miami. It is SOLD OUT. "Fade away" my arse!

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."

Embedded image permalink

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:

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!

Embedded image permalink

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?":

"@PapaSonsFilm Nineteen minutes ago: I sang Cough Syrup. I've never danced. I tell stories when drunk, which requires a lot of gin these days."

COUGH SYRUP BY YOUNG THE GIANT - STILL A FAVOURITE OF OUR MOZZER'S - (INTERESTING FACT - DESPITE ONLY REACHING NO.95 ON THE BILLBOARD CHART, COUGH SYRUP HAS RECEIVED 13,267,022 HITS ON YOUTUBE)

I will sign off for today with a link to BRS member George Edge's review of Istanbul: http://edgeindustrialphotography.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/morrissey-releases-another-brand-new.html

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, Brit Awards, black eye, style, fashion, music

Boy George, Brit Awards, black eye, style, fashion, music

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

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 ·

@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.

THE MORRISSEY BAND RELAX OFF STAGE

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.

Embedded image permalink

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/

Morrissey Official

Musician/Band · 1,236,527 Likes

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."

*Goes off to rehearse*

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.."

In response to @MozzeriansATW tweeting, "@mecaniqueorange who is this? but thank you for following... is orange the new blue? ;)": "@MozzeriansATW Exactly! Only few can sport orange, but Our Mozzer is definitely one of them"

In response to @Bunnygal833 offering Veuve: "@Bunnygal33 Woo, fancy, i wasn't aware that the Twit Arms offers such exquisite choices"

In response to @TheRatsBack 's tweet about being able to say merci with a perfect French accent: "@TheRatsBack I'm going to squeeze myself, should I ever hear a Rat saying 'merci' with perfect French accent."

In response to @TheRatBack's tweet reading "mur-see": "@TheRatsBack I always have mercy my dear rodent! Say it like MERR-CI, pressing the tongue against the palate during the "i"."

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

Embedded image permalink

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....
Posted by Anonymous to Following The Mozziah at 6 June 2014 13:53

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.

MORRISSEY SINGS TROUBLE LOVES ME BATHED IN BLUE

*Goes off to cricket... NOT singing*

Yesterday was a funny old day in this roller coaster of a journey, which ended with me having my friendship with Morrissey terminated yesterday evening. Here is the email I received at 7:28 pm:

Subject: Twatter
From: *********
To: ***
Date: 06/08/14 19:28:30

What on earth went through your mind Rat? You should have stayed under that pavilion, you obviously got sunstroke.

Didn't you think you were going to spark anger asking people to choose between me and Broken?

When did I ask for such a thing?

All I said was I disliked all that Bieber nonsense and I did it in the privacy of the Arms' toilets. It was not supposed to come out of these filthy walls.

For your information, I never followed Broken and Broken never followed me. I was only getting Bieber images from retweets and other people having interest in Bieber.

So obviously your request got Broken angry and quite rightfully. Now he is attacking me and spreading rumours about me as if he knew me.

I do not have any interest in this person and never have. His addiction for all things Bieber I always found odd and inappropriate within the BRS but you cannot tell people what to do or what to think so I just plainly ignored him.

I enjoyed Parody's tweets and the MW site because they were made with talent and love. I do believe Broken was part of MW from the start and that cannot be taken away from him. I was never involved with it. I knew about it but never took part.

I told you many times before and I will say it one last time. I do not know Parody or Broken or anyone else in the BRS, not even you. My only account has always been Fifi's and nothing else.

I hate being thrown under the double decker bus and what happened today was highly unpleasant.

When I read Broken thought I was "Mum" and that you seemed to agree with it, it got me even angrier. Shall I remind you last time I closed my twitter account for a long period of time was after seeing Mum posting personal photos from Auntie M?

I am not Mum, I am not anyone else. I am sick of it.

I enjoyed my stay at the Arms and meeting the little charmers was a blessing but I am pissed (and not from drinking too much Veuve this time) so I am out.

This is our second disagreement. I usually give a second chance. Never a third.

You should keep writing your blog for Parody and Broken and the BRS members because that's what it's always been about and should continue as such. I should have never gotten involved.

Try not to see Morrissey behind every account that comes out of nowhere. Morrissey is NOT on Twitter. Not anymore anyway.

If I am honest, I always knew that it would end this way. I just knew. I'd had my warning after Day 898, and so yesterday was it. NOBODY gets a third chance with Morrissey.

Although our friendship has been severed, Morrissey instructed me to carry on with this blog, but I am unable to do that, my heart just wouldn't be in it, and anyway, with MorrisseysWorld now dead, FollowingTheMozziah has run it's course. I will carry on using my Blue Rose Society blog and twitter accounts to promote the BRS, but at Saturday's concert in Boston, yet another BRS member attended without seemingly making any attempt to get a rose to Morrissey, so one has to ask, what is the point? I also have no idea if Morrissey still has the appetite for the BRS. I guess only time will tell.

I cannot pretend that I'm not disappointed that everything has ended, but it has been a wonderful adventure for me, and I feel tremendously privileged to have been part of this phenomenon. I wonder if our story will ever be told?

And before I sign off for the final time, some final tidying up to do. Morrissey opened the concert in Boston by saying, "Vive La France", before launching into a tremendous rendition of The Queen is Dead:

Youtube clips have also emerged of Kick the Bride Down the Aisle, Meat is Murder and Asleep. All three songs are wonderful, wonderful songs, and this version of Asleep is just breath taking. Morrissey is at his absolute peak:

It has been reported in some places that one of Kristeen Young's band members announced on Facebook that the band had been "kicked off the Wayne Newton tour". I wonder if Moz was referred to as Wayne Newton because of the song Red Roses for a Blue Lady?

Some have claimed that The Queen is Dead being sung in Boston was a dig at Kristeen Young's departure, but Morrissey can clearly be seen making gestures towards the backdrop photo of Elizabeth II, and also Morrissey confirmed to me yesterday morning; within the confounds of those filthy walls, that the song was brought in because The Queen ate foie gras at the D-Day celebrations the other day. It is interesting however, that as reported on Day 994 of FTM, Parody Moz posted this tweet on Tuesday: "@KristeenYoung @TheRatsBack Kristeen, do join me in the Black Lodge. Bring a sponge and a rusty spanner, won't you?". Morrissey is NOT @Morrissey Parody, so his quote of TQID lyrics to Kristeen is just another coincidence.

I cannot leave without mentioning another tweet from Parody Moz from Tuesday. My thanks to @Heathercat222 for bringing it to my attention. It is a supposed quote from Morrissey's novel, although I doubt it actually is from the novel, after all, how could it be, Parody Moz is NOT Morrissey: "The day just churned into itself. A couple of houses in the distance were burning coal. A cemetery was taken over by urban urchins."

And so, it is time to leave. 999 days of Following The Mozziah, and I wouldn't change a single thing. I won't drag out my goodbyes, but I cannot go without saying a HUGE thank you to the author of MorrisseysWorld. You were groundbreaking.

I shall sign off with Morrissey singing Trouble Loves Me whilst wearing a blue rose.

Farewell
Rat

*Knocks on head, as if knocking a door. The mind opens. Goes in*

THEARAPY ME (TM): What the fuck are you doing here?

ME: You know full well what I'm doing here, and if you are going to take that tone, I don't think it is very appropriate for you to play the role of therapist. I am far more laid back, so let me be therapist instead.

TM: You smarmy c**t. Who the fuck do you think you are? You stay right there, I'm calling the shots. Now, would you like to start by explaining to everybody exactly why you decided to purposely crash your blog?

ME: Explain to everybody? I thought this was just you and I!

TM: Don't try and be funny.You forget I already know everything that's in that pathetic head of yours, and you know full well that you have an audience. Some people have been genuinely upset because of your childish antics over the past few days, so just get on with your explanation.That's why you're here.

ME: This is a bit like being on Jeremy Kyle, isn't it! Anyway, how can you preach to me about childish behaviour? You're in this just as much as me, in fact, I'd say it's more YOU than me! You're Bob!

TM: Bob? Twin Peaks Bob? You've never even watched Twin Peaks.

ME: But I'd like to! I'd also like to watch those Cocteau dvds that I bought months ago. I'd also like to watch all those programmes I've recorded on Sky. I'd also like to read more. I'd also like to finish writing that book about Number 1s that I started three years ago, but I can't can I.

TM: At last, we're getting somewhere. Carry on.

ME: Well, as you already know, I was fully aware of what would happen when I posted that tweet on Sunday.

TM: The tweet about BRS members having to choose between Fifi and Broken?

ME: Yes. I knew what would happen.

TM: Yes, you did know, so why did you do it?

ME: Because I needed to bring my blog to an end, and the best way to do that was to get Morrissey to end it.

TM: Why though? And don't say because MorrisseysWorld has gone; MorrisseysWorld is always coming and going. This story only ends when the masses finally get to see what they have missed. We are miles away from the end yet.

ME: And that's the problem. I LOVE writing this blog, and I love everything about this whole phenomenal journey.

TM: So why do you want to stop writing then?

ME: You know why.

TM: Yes, all right smart arse, I know that I know, so tell your audience.

ME: Writing this blog takes too much of my time.

TM: But writing this blog is the most important thing that you will ever do in your life. You know that.

ME: Yes, I DO know that, which is why I have kept it going for so long. Not only do I thoroughly enjoy writing it, I am fully aware of it's importance.

TM: Then what's your problem, you snivelling little cunt?

ME: No need! And no asterisks. *tuts*

TM: Sorry. Carry on.

ME: It's as I said earlier, I have no time to do anything else other than write this blog... and when I'm not writing, I'm either tweeting, or reading tweets written by people who may or may not be Morrissey, or I'm watching Youtube footage of Morrissey concerts or.... I work full time you know!

TM: Yes, I know. I do too.

ME: I also run three cricket teams, I have a family I like spending time with, I have a dog to walk.... this blog has taken over my life.

TM: Well, you've managed to juggle things thus far, so why the sudden panic?

ME: Work has got busier, the cricket season is in full flow, exams are coming out of the kids ears. Need I go on?

TM: Hmm. So because you haven't got the time to dedicate to the blog, you decided to crash it?

ME: Yep!

TM: That's truly pathetic.

ME: That's me.

TM: Why can't you just dedicate less time to it?

ME: That's NOT me! I'd have a fear of missing things.

TM: Well, I'm sure that there is plenty that you've missed already. There are bound to have been signs made by Morrissey that nobody saw.

ME: True.

TM: I cannot believe that you purposely self destructed.

ME: Yes you can.

TM: Yes, you're right, I can. So, little man, what now?

ME: Well, I'm here aren't I?

TM: What? So you're NOT going to stop blogging after all?

ME: Something is telling me not to stop. I may not be able to give it the same amount of time but this is the home of the BRS, I can't stop! It isn't my decision to make..... and anyway, as you said earlier, this story hasn't finished yet. Fifi told me to carry on, so I shall carry on.

*Leaves the mind, and goes off singing* It's the same old S.O.S.

TM: (To self) Fickle cunt!
