Morrissey has announced through his TTY website that the rest of the tour is over. He is still ill.

Tuesday June 10th

Morrissey announces the close down of the present U.S. tour with "unimaginable sorrow".
On Saturday, June 7th, following the show at Boston Opera House, Morrissey collapsed and was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital where doctors treated Morrissey for "acute fever". Difficulties had arisen on May 31st following Kristeen Young's opening set at the Miami Knight Concert Hall, after which Kristeen confessed to "a horrendous cold", the symptoms of which were passed on to Morrissey resulting in the cancellation of the next show in Atlanta.
For the good of all, Kristeen was asked to step down from the immediate upcoming shows, but instead she decided to leave the tour entirely. Morrissey and the band wish her well and hope she is now in good health.
Morrissey received medical attention in Miami, and once again in Boston, but it was not enough to shake off the virus, the recovery time for which is too lengthy to meet the final 9 shows of the tour.
Morrissey and the band are otherwise delighted and very grateful for their experiences on the U.S. tour, some shows of which they considered to be their best-ever, most notably:

1 BOSTON Opera House
2 LOS ANGELES Sports Arena
3 BEAUMONT Julie Rogers Theater
4 NASHVILLE Ryman Auditorium
5 MEMPHIS Orpheum Theater

THE MORRISSEY BAND - BOSTON OPERA HOUSE

As Morrissey's TTY statement has made no mention of the Santa Ana concert; where he wore a blue rose whilst singing Trouble Loves Me, it is my feeling that the whole MorrisseysWorld/Blue Rose phenomenon is now over.

I expect this will be my last blog entry, but as I was moaning the other day that I didn't have enough time, I should be pleased! Needless to say, I am anything but pleased. You should always be careful for what you wish for.

Before I go, and just for the record, here are Our Mozzer's last two contributions to FTM, posted via his secretary, 'R':

Morrissey has left a new comment on your post "Day 999 - Never a third":

Our Mozzer sent me this email today:

"For Following The Mozziah Comments:

I left the building long ago. Too much hatred and homophobia infested the corridors of the Blogs, if not the Blue Rose Society itself. My right hand man Broken, who wrote much of the blog and actually created at least 30% of the tweets sent in my name (though he'd never say so publicly) has been treated very poorly. Even comments supportive of him, asking why today's blog is about Fifi - a woman with no connection either to MW, OM or Morrissey as far as one can tell - rather than about the final sad departure of a brilliant wit, poet and friend, Broken, have been deleted. Broken will find new projects; sadly I shall not. The death of MorrisseysWorld has created a void which I doubt will ever be filled. Thank you to the friends we shared the journey with. Farewell from a strange and not particularly contented place. OM"

Morrissey has left a new comment on your post "Day 1000 - It's the same old S.O.S":

First Anon10 June 2014 09:15

To elaborate, I'm not saying that Fifi is a bad person, or that she is unapproachable or threatening (!!!), or that her contributions didn't or shouldn't have value to some people (although I think most would agree that they were dragged on way beyond their charms).

I'm saying that Fifi seems to directly pretend to be Morrissey in private emails with Rat, which Rat appears to believe (despite it being almost certainly untrue), and this belief is corrupting Rat's coverage of MW.

MW began (and flourished for almost 3 years) as a delicate and at times very carefully crafted satire of modern values, human doubt, the creative process, ego, and much more besides. It was flooded with that same melancholic ironic awareness which tints every work of art I adore. While Fifi's contributions (and Rat's reactions to them) may present another element of mystery, they lack all of those qualities which made MW special. They read more like the pages of a David Icke forum thread than MW - which has its charms, certainly, but is that why we're here?

The more people shift towards this particularly flimsy pseudo-mystical angle, the harder it becomes for MW to maintain the things which made it special. Fifi writes openly like an American, and probably is - fine, but she's pretending to be Morrissey. MW writes like a Brit who tries and fails to Americanise his British language in a limp attempt to carve out a new element to his own fragile identity. This is one of many beauties. Don't you people see this?

Our Mozzer emailed me today to praise this comment and to: 'thank the author. It has almost made the years of writing worthwhile - almost.'

FIFI - "WRITES OPENLY LIKE AN AMERICAN" - OUR MOZZER

Long time MorrisseysWorlder, 'Jon the Con' backed up the above comments, and posted this yesterday:

ConMorrissey Theorist has left a new comment on your post "Day 1000 - It's the same old S.O.S":

As likely to be Moz as Our Mozzer! Only in rat's mind !!!!

Tens of signs, four denials, the genius writing, tweeting and blogging... essay on the beginnings..

But Fifi has... an American writing style and a boring obsession with Cocteau!


I know where my allegiance lies. Shame on you Rat!!!

Same old SOS

Shame indeed.



And now we just have to hope. Hope that Morrissey gets well soon, and hope that he still wants the BRS.

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!

Broken and Astraea once again entered the Twitterdilly Arms together yesterday, and once again they proceeded to spend their time drooling over pictures of Justin Bieber.


ASTRAEA AND BROKEN

It should be remembered that the name Broken derives from the name BrokenMorrissey. Now, I am no psychologist, but it is my belief that Morrissey invented the Broken pessoa to use when his life is literally, broken. It is surely more than just a coincidence that just as Morrissey has a massive fall out with his longtime friend Kristeen Young, Broken appears back on the scene, and one of Broken's characteristics is to be destructive.

Morrissey must be really hurting from his fallout with Kristeen, but one way to deal with situations like these, is to ignore them, and concentrate on the mundane. Morrissey, as Broken, has turned to Bieber, whilst Kristeen Young has taken to Twitter to talk about t-shirts. What is really sad about this whole situation, is that it needn't have come about, and I'm sure that both parties realise that, but sometimes there is just no way of making everything right. Words get said that can't be unsaid. It was just 19 short days ago that Morrissey stood on a stage in Beaumont, praising Kristeen to the hilt:



I have no idea who is driving the Broken and Astraea vehicles at the moment, but I would guess that Morrissey is either behind both, or perhaps his personal wafter, Damon Anacreonte, is currently using the Astraea account. Perhaps it was Damon who was driving the Broken account whilst Morrissey was on stage in Boston.

MORRISSEY AND HIS PERSONAL WAFTER

It is currently very hard for me to write my blog, not knowing if the characters I am writing about have any actual bearing on the MW story, but I have to trust my gut feeling, and my gut feeling is telling me that Broken is Morrissey. With this in mind, here are his twitter highlights (minus anything Bieber related) from yesterday:

"MW is over. Long live FTM!"

"@TheRatsBack INTERSTING BLOG TODAY. IT REMINDS ME OF... SPAM."

I don't recall what 'SPAM' was. I think it was a MorrisseysWorld parody article, but can somebody please jog my memory.

"Just think if Our Mozzer had had a blue tick, Ed Miliband would know(sic) beknown(sic) as EDID and the twitter account would be as famous as Gaga's."

The fact that mistakes were made with the words 'now' and 'be known' in the above sentence, does make me question if this really is Morrissey! Morrissey very rarely makes such mistakes. Oh the confusion of it all.

"How arbitrary fame is, and how incomprehensible."

In response to @LouiseMensch having a go at @HarrietHarman: "@LoiseMensch @HarrietHarman Harman isn't a feminist, She's a politically correct anti-male sexist and sexism apologist."

Louise Mensch is somebody that Our Mozzer regularly tweets, so the above tweet now makes me think that Broken IS definitely Morrissey.... but the sentence contains a capital 'S' in the middle of it, so it can't be! Aghhhhhh!

"Morrissey has a mild chest infection and a complication of acid reflux: persuades the world he's dying. Now he has a cold and cancels a tour. Morrissey get a grip! The ridiculous self-important melodrama is starting to get on all our nerves. What next? Sleeping in an oxygen tent?"

"Morrissey's latest songs sound boring to me, but I might be wrong. Great words, great singing, rubbish song writing. Oops"

Broken signed off by tweeting with his favourite BRS member, @Jazissey:

"@Jazissey It's my last visit for a while to twitter. Morrissey's hypochondrias is out of control. He could take some lemsip, do his day job (touring) and get on with it all - like most of us do when we have a cold. Just a thought."

I am hoping that Broken's mention of it being his last visit means that Morrissey will soon feel un-broken again. @Mancladmozfan has tweeted this morning to say that Morrissey has landed back in Britain, so hopefully he will be able to put recent events behind him, and concentrate on arranging a UK tour before the new LP is released.

In other news, Boy George has started following a number of members of the BRS. Is he following our story? I have no idea if he wore a blue rose on stage for Morrissey last night, but would guess not.





BOY GEORGE AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT FESTIVAL

So, if Broken has left us, what now?

On Friday June 13th 2014, my little rodent heart was crushed by my hero. It happened in the form of an email, and my immediate reaction was to close down my blog, delete my Twitter account, and just run to the hills.... so that's exactly what I did. As I fled to those hills, with tears in my eyes, I really really didn't think that I would ever add anything to this blog ever again, but after two days of pondering, wound licking and scratching in the dirt.... and despite my heart still being devoid of oxygen.... here I am.

On Wednesday of last week, in light of Morrissey's tour being cancelled, I sent him an email to try and offer some kind of words of support. I signed off my email as "Your friend". Here is the reply I received on Friday:

"Your friend"? You cannot be serious.

What Jesse said.

"Good riddance to false friends". 

You are one of them.

As far as I am concerned, the BRS is as dead as the Queen.

Farewell.

There was nowhere to go except those hills! The Jesse words that Morrissey was referring to related to this True-To-You statement made on Friday:

Jesse Tobias statement

13 June 2014

It's been quite Disheartening to see the "Facebook" Hatred thrown about by Our Former Friends/ Working Partners Kristeen Young and Tony Visconti.
I do feel that Someone needs to Speak Up for Moz in this situation as it is unbearable to watch people you once trusted , Attack and Pick Away at your Friend.
In my experience ANYONE associated with the Morrissey Camp know they are solely there because of Morrissey himself.
He chooses to tour/ work with certain people.
For Kristeen and Tony Visconti to go on about Her being better off now, without considering Morrissey's 9 years of help and promotion is Very Disappointing.
Only speaking from my experience, with the crew and Moz falling ill in Miami, for Kristeen to deny she was truly sick seems disingenuous.
I was told after the show in Miami by Crew and Security that there was some concern because Kristeen was obviously unwell.
Our crew then tried to keep her at a reasonable distance but being in such close quarters for months these things sometimes happen.
I am Upset that in this situation Kristeen could not take the tour as a whole into consideration and just comply with the postponement announcement.
One could only assume it was necessary for her to justify herself and ultimately receive some promotion out of the matter.
This combined with Tony Visconti's Parrot Like affirmation on "Facebook" that "she is better off, is Morrissey Capable of being handled?" is Repulsive.
This is a MAN who worked closely with us on a record and several sessions that Suddenly flips into Schoolgirl mode with "yeah you tell em" Chatter...??

Good Riddance to False Friends.

Jesse Tobias

I have no idea why I got lumped in with the "false friends", and I cannot begin to describe the feeling of hurt, but in the grand scheme of things my feelings are of little relevance, what is far more important is that during this desperately dark time for Morrissey, he realises that not all of his fans are like the Solowers who are once again using the events of last week to dance all over his un-dug grave.

I have reopened my blog so that the members of the Blue Rose Society can offer their support and thanks to the man who will ALWAYS be our hero.

The events of last week will soon be forgotten. Tomorrow, The Bullfighter Dies is released as a single, and in just four weeks time, World Peace is None of Your Business will be released. I am as excited as I have been for every other Morrissey release. My hero is back.

And as for the BRS being "as dead as the Queen", well we'll just have to see about that.

For Morrissey:

Yesterday morning, I decided to put my blog to bed, and head back into the hills to continue licking my wounds. I was so convinced that the MorrisseysWorld story had come to an end that I took down all of my blog entries, and posted this message on my now empty blog:

"In September 2011, I stumbled upon a blog called MorrisseysWorld. As unlikely as it seemed, it appeared to me that Morrissey himself might be the person behind the blog, so I started blogging my findings. What happened over the next 33 months was phenomenal, including the formation of Morrissey's Blue Rose Society. In June 2014 MorrisseysWorld ended. The BRS lives on."

Yesterday afternoon, whilst I was away in the hills (actually I was on a cricket pitch, but you get the idea), BrokenMorrissey (@Broken1andonly) strolled back into The Twitterdilly Arms. I'm not entirely sure what happened next, but it would appear that Broken lit a few touch papers, told a few home truths, and once again he managed to get under people's skin to such an extent that some of the BRS members were apparently in tears. When will they ever learn? If you go near a wounded animal, expect to be bitten.




I'm not sure how many times I have to spell it out to the BRS members, but BrokenMorrissey is literally just that, a Morrissey who is broken, and why wouldn't he be? Let's look at the facts, Morrissey has just had to abandon yet another tour due to poor health, he has fallen out with longtime friends Kristeen Young & Tony Visconti, he is witnessing yet another record company failing to promote him properly.... need I go on? Morrissey is hurting. He HAS to be hurting, and I would guess that he is currently in self destruct mode. I took a kicking from him last Friday, and it is now the turn of other members of the BRS to get their kicking, although if they left him alone to wallow in his own self pity and look at Bieber pictures, then they would be ok.

If people seriously think that Morrissey is going to stroll into the Twit Arms and be the life and soul of the party with all the shit that is currently going on in his life, then they really don't know about life. From what I have seen of yesterday's session in The Twit Arms, there are a lot of selfish self centred people in the BRS, and they only seem to care about their own feelings, and not the feelings of the one person that they are here for. The best thing these people can do, is head to the hills, lick their wounds, scratch in the dirt, and then see the bigger picture; it worked for me.

Here are some of Broken's highlights from yesterday:

"This is not the BRS anymore. There are few of us left now. It meant something more than a silly clique of trivial people. We didn't need another twitter clique. This was so much more - a group of like-minded ironists on the prowl."

"BRS is dead. It means nothing now. No more signs, no more dreams. BRS turned into a wing of So-Low. I blame Fifi, willow, GOB and Lizzy."




"As much as some of you dislike me, and Justin Bieber, I was half of MorrisseysWorld, so I don't think one can blame me."

"Art is beautiful. Artists are often ugly."

"Sometimes even bloggers can be ugly - especially bloggers!"

"Ultimately I don't pretend to like dreary types. If you're dreary, I don't want to know."

"...Sorry if that offends your bourgeois sensibility."

"Writing is just a hobby for me. I'm a professional by trade."

"I've already had 3 books of poetry published, despite the running joke on the blog. I'm writing my second novel now."

This is probably a good point to once again remind people that Broken is a pessoa, i.e., he is a character with his own identity. Broken isn't a real person that you could meet in the street, but he is a real person on the internet, with his own personality. For those who don't know, Broken is a doctor by profession, and also takes great pleasure in telling people that he is a meat eater. He also has a penchant for good looking footballers and, er, Justin Bieber.



"Fifi is not, will not be, was never anything to do with MW."

"This world is big enough for all of us, but my world isn't even big enough for those I care about and find interesting."

"If we can trim away the dead wood, who knows? Perhaps BRS can return."

"I've unfollowed a number of vacuous people today - from Willow to the utterly trivial George. Any more vacuous followers, just insult me please - I promise I'll block you."

"I believe Justin will one day play Morrissey in a biopic."

"The meat is smelling good. The proteins have broken down; there's a crispy sweet coating. Now I'm slowly cooking in a low oven. Brown and tasty on the outside, bloody and tender in the middle. Perfect steak."

"@Jazissey Those who liked Essay on the Beginnings of a New Man, largely written by me, probably find it difficult to hate me. BRS."

"@Heathercat222 Sometimes nothing means anything if we're too nice to everybody. At least you know when I say something nice I mean it."

"@kie123star @RFerdenzi Why should you be surprised to meet prats no twitter who like Moz? Twitter's full of prats and Moz is prince of prats."


From @RFerdenzi: "@Broken1andonly Why don't you FUCK OFF! You're the biggest prat on here, by far. Go fuck yourself with a Beiber (sic) doll!" (Retweeted by George aka @Edgeindust)

At this stage, Astraea (@fadinggoldLeaf) joined her friend Broken in The Arms.

"@FadingGoldLeaf The idiots are out in force today. George is only retweeting insults, his usual pathetic passive-aggressive style."

"@FadingGoldLeaf Have you met @scooterbraun ? He made Justin Bieber famous."

From @FadingGoldLeaf: "@Broken1andonly Scooter should be just as famous as MY BABY is!"

"@FadingGoldLeaf OK you're sounding like Kate Ryan now!"

(Ed - It's been a while since we've heard Kate Ryan's name mentioned in these parts!)

I should mention that Astraea once again played the role yesterday of a Bieber lover yesterday, but did manage to post some songs too, and her song choices would suggest that she too is currently 'broken'.... well, she would be wouldn't she! Here are the songs:










My cousin Fluff (@UpthePier) arrived in The Arms late yesterday afternoon, after most of the bombs had gone off.

From @UpthePier: "Cousin Rat was going to close FTM, but whilst @Broken1andonly is in The Arms, the MW story continues. Rat is chewing fruit gums up his hill."

"@UpthePier I might ask OM to return. But only if the dead wood is cut away."

"@southkirk Intelligence is most unwelcome on twitter - just as twitter is most unwelcome in MENSA meetings."

"@southkirk You're interesting and unique. And you don't give a **** what people think. That's why OM and I adore you."


SOUTHKIRK

"@southkirk I wrote  a parody piece in which you assumed a major part. The new series was best yet, but didn't get published when OM shut MW. Southkirk assumed the role of M's favourite online twitter fawner in the last series. M kept quoting you back-stage and over tea." (Ed - this tweet made me piss myself. Sorry!) (Ps. I would LOVE to read that parody piece.... even though I don't believe for one minute that such piece exists.) (Carry on.)

"I'm part of an elite on twitter - men who have Bieber pics on their profile."

"Each of the new songs has no detectable melody. So Moz's wonderful voice and his band's *ahem* best efforts can't quite disguise the fact."

"Mental in Valencia... is Morrissey running out of things to say?"

"Still, I hated the first two singles from YOR and it turned out to be a magnificent record. THPGU was ok but a bit Moz-by-numbers and AYNIM was laughable. But the record was wonderful... except for those last two songs."

"Istanbul sounds like Chris Rea covering Meatloaf. 'Bullfighter' sounds like Moz covering Lambada. World Peace sounds like Gene."

Broken has now disappeared once again, no doubt back up his hill to lick his wounds. 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 shall sign off today with an MW archive piece, "Why I Created MorrisseysWorld by 'Broken', but first, here is the send off that GOB (@GirlOnBike1102) gave to a BrokenMorrissey as he headed out of The Twitterdilly Arms last night: "I just hope that some of the people who jumped on Broken's bandwagon of calling me homophobic, have realised that he is a manipulative c**t!" Touching words for a broken man.

*Heads back up the hill singing* Don't rake up my mistakes, I know exactly what they are, and what do you do? Well you just sit there....

Why I Created MorrisseysWorld by 'Broken'

I don't know why I created MorrisseysWorld Blog really. Maybe it's because I'm a fat c*nt with no life, so I thought it would be fun to make fun of Morrissey's life. Maybe it's because I'm a pointless and social phobic gay virgin in his mid-late 30s. Maybe it's because I'm f***ing bored and KFC lost that edge it once had.

I'm certainly a human being in deep, deep shit. I made that pathetic ringleader blog too, and tried to pass it off as an interview with Morrissey. Tseng didn't fall for it. Why, oh why, did I send it from all the same old internet cafes in the student area of London, instead of leaving to others to post?

God knows why Morrissey made all those pledges come true. I didn't expect him to take his shirt off at the Palladium... didn't expect white rose, or red rose, or blue rose, or the blue rose ring, or the owl eye sign, or the V-signs, or the tour announcements tallying with mine, or the white rose on linder's article, or... well... f***ing hey, you don't actually think those were anything more than coincidence, do you?

Look, it's coincidence, you moron. Peter Skinny'll tell you, if you ask him and he hasn't already blocked you.

Fifteen or twenty coincidences out of the thirty or forty things the blogger implied might happen... cold reading,... big deal. F***.

Same thing happens at solo, I mean look when they predicted Morrissey would ban david steng and, well, wear those f*** solo t-shirts, and they predicted the roses too, and the tour dates and morrisseysmum, now there's a f***ing clairyoyant.

Anyway, bollocks to this. I'm sick of it.

Surely my life amounts to more than this steam of homoerotic poo?

TRB, go on, post one more of your obsequious blog articles, mae me feel like a man!! Go on!!

God, I love the attention, I love it.

Shame I'm in a bedsit with a hairy back and bunions.

B*****d Morrissey with all that money, fame, acclaim, and here I am... f*cked.. not literally.

Anyway, the blog's over, it's finished. What's the point?

Uncle skinny exposed me long ago.

Yours apologetically

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:














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.....

There has been no sign of Broken for a few days, and Our Mozzer hasn't been seen for weeks, so unless one of them appears, this will be my last blog entry, as I really am only here for the MorrisseysWorld phenomenon.

I shall sign off with one of the best pieces to come from the MW blog, An Essay On The Beginnings of a New Man. It was published on Sunday, 21 August 2011, and was signed Morrissey. So the question is, who wrote it? Was it: A) Me, a full three weeks before I discovered MorrisseysWorld, B) Banjaxer, who despite claiming to be a journalist, struggles to put two sentences together, C) Morrissey or D) The Unknown author of MW; who has not only managed to remain unidentified for seven years, but has also managed to get Morrissey to do many, many things, as catalogued here: http://followingthemozziah.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/morrisseysworld-and-blue-rose-society.html. There is NO E).

An Essay On The Beginnings of a New Man

The nineteen eighties were passing me by. Snarling androgyny, the dullish glamour of those sickly pale-thin creatures in scarlet lippy and girlish belts juxtaposed with crunching guitars - T Rex, The Dolls and Ziggy Stardust - had faded gracelessly into handfuls of black earth, rock 'n’roll retirement, and tie-wearing early 80s chic respectively. The cheaply-assembled but eagerly-deployed scud missile that was British punk seemed to detonate unexpectedly in mid-air, causing chaos, panic and the odd ill-advised trip to the barber’s, but surprisingly little lasting structural damage. As the ash clouds of punk spilled over and fell, gathering like anti-snowflakes on Manchester’s light-absorbing grey paving stones, bringing down as they fell over weeks and then months our studiedly vague aspirations for a slightly different world, the two-up two-downs remained indignant. They seemed to peer up over the brutal urban wasteland – all ersatz municipal parkland, stubborn decaying semis and that mild, nauseating smog that was the Manchester air - wondering what might come next. What would come next? Nothing at all.

Winter 1982. Manchester seemed glassier than ever, all pale angries, and pale sads, and pale cruelties. The death of punk had informed me of the true power of music – which is that it means absolutely nothing. Aestheticism as pure as any Wildean short story, utterly devoid of a moral; music is about beauty and - Being a Pop Star-? Being a pop star is about being fascinating. If you cannot be fascinating, then be handsome. If you cannot be handsome, may I suggest The X Factor Auditions?

In 1982, intention was all that I had. Wintriness breeds wintriness, as a writer once wrote. When the soul lives in a glum rock box and the air is frostier than any half-remembered June day-excursion to Scarborough, the beauty of the freezing cold is all that one possesses. Sycamore tree leafless and crippled leans, like stag antlers bored into frozen top soil; green frog-eye Wellington boots scurry for grip on un-gritted roads; small bluish hand enshrined in fuliginous fingers, glinting under raw sodium lights; the Arndale centre like some oafish soul-cemetery, sucking in the human spirit like coke through a straw, and twisting it into a walking, breathing, cacophonous death. Snow fell that winter. And I made my plans.

The room was probably not as small as I remember. It had that lived-in smell which is inevitable when one never leaves: this I did my best to disguise with scattered rose petals – roses were an undeserved gift from one to oneself, or otherwise nicked from innumerable tiny-but-prim front gardens on the estate. Of course in winter the gardens were as barren as the singer who filled my ears and tugged at my tear ducts like lovelessness itself: Nico. In the absence of red rose petals or white rose petals, orange peel – always in good supply in our house – would adorn the radiator for days, even when, as was more often than not the case, they were switched off. Me? I stayed in and wrote furiously. The New York Dolls thing; the James Dean thing: they passed effortlessly by and yet without any real sense of destiny. Milky, embattled, frozen prose followed. It drifted imperceptibly from the pen, just like one of the many snowstorms that murky Thatcherite November-December, until it no longer resembled prose at all. The first songs were born entirely by accident. This I have always put down to fate.

As I wrote, I would gaze up at the Marc Bolan poster over my bed, pore over the horribly cream-coloured wood chip and wish it would simply disappear; I would crank up the volume on my plasticky record player; it cost £11.30 from a second hand shop in Moss Side called Andy’s (I still have the receipt). And as the stylus hopped over the worn groove, I would sink into Diana Dors, Johnny Rotten, Ziggy Stardust and The Sparks. The natural ageing process of those scratchy records implored me to listen in a way that no horse-throated geography teacher ever could.

The joy of music is that it allows one to dream, which in turn allows one to find that grain of hope. Hope is not a moral; it is a life-force. A good song is as abstract as a dream or nightmare, tethered to reality by frayed threads, liable to snap at any given moment. The song drags one out of bed, it pushes one back into bed and it fills the short period in between. The song – to the true lover of music – is birth, death, and that other part we bravely call ‘life.’ Most people cannot live. They are immobilized: by the fear of rejection, by the self-loathing they endure, by a slim conviction that they are unable to love another; and more than anything else by a crippling sense of devaluation imposed by this world on all of us, unless we fit the idealized notion of what a human being should – these days, must - be. These poor souls shuffle, mumble and crumble through the years like shadows. I knew very, very early on that I was one of those souls.

Well, what could I do? I could spend my life with the shadows, pretending to live: a man with a life-sentence to serve, which never quite materializes. Or I could transform myself into a symbol and give up entirely on real life, as they call it. The song becomes the living; the singing becomes the life; the haircut becomes the material body – fading over the years but never quite leaving. And I began just then to write about life the way it really is. I began to write songs for those who cannot live – which is almost everybody. At least in England it is. While the rest of the world at least attempts to live life, we English apologise and queue politely. This – girls and boys – is why we’re so good at the old art thing. Art is nothing but a survival instinct for the English.

When one is desperate and cold, the hardest thing to feel is hope; and yet precisely – and only - when one is desperate and cold, hope is utterly life-transforming. To have absolutely nothing except hope was what sustained me through those nights. When you’re young, tears are precious. They seem to contain the very essence of life. As my tears landed on that newish pine desk, slipping into the cracks in the useless veneer, in that bland, desolate box room, the Manchester rain pattered on the windows and the roof tiles. The flowing motion of water, of rain, of tears is something that can be found in those early songs, as real to me as blood itself. And just as essential.

By Christmas 1982 I was a jobless waif in my mid-20s possessed of the frankly ludicrous hope of becoming a singer. In the grimness of day, of course, I had no real prospect of becoming one. My hair was all wrong, my clothes were all wrong, my skin, and - my face? As I set about willing into existence the pop star whose name I did not yet know, I gathered up every mossy pebble of a death-wish, each vocal hook I had ever murmured, fewer than five literary influences, and my eternally shattered faith in love. I would sing-whisper in those days, which I pretended was in honour of my beloved Nico but in truth was probably to avoid being overheard by Mam in the room downstairs. I did not breathe a breath of fresh air for more than two months. The windows rarely opened and the curtains never twitched. I had lost weight; my family members were worried for my wellbeing; over my shoulders hung the clothes of an anorexic teenage girl. And then finally out of that bedroom wobbled, and then stumbled, and then fell a singer called Morrissey without a record deal, without a band and without a decent pair of shoes.

Yesterday afternoon, whilst most people were out enjoying a beautiful sunny day, BrokenMorrissey was slumped on the bar of The Twitterdilly Arms. He was all alone in the pub, and had with him a few old photos of Justin Bieber, and a broken heart. Cousin Fluff entered the pub and asked Broken if we could have Our Mozzer back. Broken informed Cousin Fluff that if both Rat and FTM were to return properly, then "maybe".

Upon hearing this news, I put down my 'Special Collector's Edition' copy of the NME, and trotted back down from the hill that I have been hiding on for the past ten days. I immediately reinstated all the old blog pages of FTM, and then entered The Arms as to see if Our Mozzer was about. He wasn't, so I went to bed.

THIS WEEK'S EDITION OF THE NME

A pleasant surprise greeted me when I awoke this morning, I discovered that at approximately 2am, Our Mozzer (@MorrisseyParody) had returned to The Twitterdilly Arms. HE IS BACK! *Waves palm leaves*.... well one wouldn't want to disappoint!

With a following of just 672, the man that I believe to be Morrissey, is back on twitter.
Here are OM's tweets from the early hours of this morning:

 "The BlueRoseSociety will grow in the coming weeks. Those who betrayed Broken and MW will miss out. BRSnotdead."

"Life teaches one that there are worse things than death."

"Elegance is a passing fantasy."

In response to @edgeindustphoto's tweet saying, "no-one cares anymore. flogging a dead horse. ruining a mans legacy.": "@edgeindustphoto Another leaf falls away."

"Celebrity is a fate worse than life."




As I tucked into my morning Corn Flakes, OM appeared in The Twitterdilly Arms again, and stayed for a couple of hours. Here are the highlight's:

"Alcohol numbs the pain of living until one is so numb that alcohol becomes the pain of living."

"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it - infamy!"

In response to a tweet by @Fearnecotton about there being a million lonely older people in the UK: "@Fearnecotton Only a million lonely older people? Everybody is lonely these days."

"The savage prey upon weakness and the gentle eliminate it."

In response to @BoyGeorge's tweet saying "We have to make music harder to get hold of. Vinyl?": "@BoyGeorge There's no way to hold back time. So why don't we hold hands and cry?"

In response to a tweet by somebody saying "I'm off to bed. It's been emotional.": "I find that bed is the very worst place one could go when one is emotional."

"As my wit matures, I bore myself with ever more frequency. One day I shall turn into a retired librarian."

"As one ages one borrows ever more humour - from one's younger self, from others - and creates less and less. One becomes a humour vampire."

"In childhood humour is imitated; in adulthood created; in middle age repeated; in old age borrowed; and in senility imitated."


MORRISSEY - CREATING HUMOUR

In response to @edgeindustphoto's tweet saying "despicable behaviour": "Don't speak to me that way. Pester someone else - the person you fell out with for example. It's not my fault you're delusional. I am not Broken. Broken is not me."


It still amazes me that so many people treat Broken as though he is a normal, run of the mill guy. The reason that there was a huge fall out last week, was because members of the BRS failed, once again, to realise that Broken is a self loathing wretch, with no feelings for anybody. Broken is a pessoa, but the likes of Edge, Willow, Roberto Ferdenzi, Southkirk, MadAlix14, James Duncan, Jack Shet and a number of others just didn't understand what was going on, and have all now left. Jack Shet was the guy who created the twitter account @TheRatsTalisman.... some bloody talisman!


BROKEN - AS SEEN BY @RFERDENZI

OM Highlights Continued:

"Those who hate broken have no compassion."

"MWers begin life adoring me, then they stalk me, and finally they block me."

"@TheRatsBack @Broken1and only Rat, do you still love me? Broken, do you? I'm spending followers like an old Hollywood star spending royalties"

I replied to this question by posting "How could we not love you? It's warts and all. Do you have warts?" At this point, Broken (@Broken1andOnly) suddenly appeared and tweeted, "@TheRatsBack @MorrisseyParody I do; he doesn't." Broken also added, "I'm not Our Mozzer, and Our Mozzer isn't Morrissey. And Rat isn't anyone - not even himself."

"@Broken1andonly @TheRatsBack Two of my favourite people; two of my favourite c***s."

Broken chipped in with, "@TheRatsBack You're a t*** aspiring to be a c***."

"The unpleasant people are united in hating Broken. See the BRS Facebook group."

"The trivial people have self-selected to Facebook. There they can stay."

"The fewer the better. The more the less merry."


I have no idea which people OM is referring to, as I don't have Facebook, but I am guessing it is all those I listed above plus a few more who just DO NOT understand what MorrisseysWorld is all about. The problem for a lot of them, is that they haven't followed this whole phenomenal story from the start, so they haven't seen for themselves what has gone on. Because they are unable to get their heads around certain aspects of MW, these people have taken the easy option, and decided to convince themselves that Morrissey can't possibly be involved with MW. They have then decided that I must be the one behind MorrisseysWorld! Why me? Just because I happen to write about it? What possible evidence is there to suggest I could have written any of it?

Highlight's Continued:

In response to me tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody @edgeindustphoto Broken sees himself as a despicable, loathsome person, but instead of showing understanding, people kick him": "@TheRatsback @edgeindustphoto You're unduly perceptive, Rat. Rat, one thing I've learned - there's no point arguing unless one is wrong."

In response to @grimmers (Nick Grimshaw) tweet saying "Rizzle Kicks are coming in to see us today with their new song": "@grimmers When did children rapping over nursery rhymes become marketable?"


RIZZLE COCKS

"It's a miracle that I haven't run out of wit. Three years in and somehow I'm still finding new ways to demean myself in a public spectacle."

"Happiness is disposable, while sadness disposes of one."

"If Heaven truly exists then it's going to be Hell for me."

In response to @SimonCowell's tweet about a special episode of America's Got Talent: "@SimonCowell America's Got Talent is huge, like most despicable things."

"@JoeyEssex_ The cover of your book is busy, yet utterly blank. Has emptiness ever been so fashionable? Reem"

In response to me tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody God, you're good": "@TheRatsBack You sound like Alan Partridge talking to Dan the kitchen man."



In response to me asking if the NME had been forgiven, "Desperate times.... actually, NO."

In response to @edronmonds tweeting "@MorrisseyPaordy there seems to be a lot of unhappiness in these twitter conversations. I expected better from Moz and his fans": "@edronmonds You expected less unhappiness and bitterness from me? You obviously don't know me very well!"

"I'm so tired of being judged by people who claim to love me."

"People who hate me hate me. People who love me judge me. People who like me no longer listen to me. Morrissey"

"All this wit, all this comedy, all this poetry - and for what?"

In response to my tweet saying "@MorrisseyParody Just a thought, but I presume KY knows of MW. Could she expose it to the world?": "@TheRatsBack Perhaps when the dust settles...?"

"The first rule of stardom is to do nothing. The second rule is break the first rule as often as possible."

"Nothing makes me smile."




In response to @Hollywills (Holly Willoughby) tweet saying "Lots on @itvthismorning including Benefits Dad with 26 kids who wants a bigger council house": "@hollywills Holly has mastered the art of insincerity disguised as sincerity masquerading as insincerity."

In response to @LoughtonLil's tweet saying "@MorrisseyParody I am revived by my chat with BB in Camden on Saturday. Welcome back, I hope life is at least smiling on you if not grinning": "@Loughtonlil If you see Boz again, tell him there's a parody Morrissey missing him."

Our Mozzer signed off with this tweet:"I'm glad to see the Twitterdilly Arms is still alive." OM also retweeted this tweet of mine: "Dear @OfficialAdele Please, please, please DO NOT release this new album of yours on July 14. Just don't!"

Wouldn't it just about be Morrissey's luck for Adele to release her "already completed and ready to release at a moment's notice" album in the same week as World Peace Is None Of Your Business? It won't happen.... it CAN'T happen. Three weeks today, WPINOYB will be released. Four weeks today, it will be Number 1, and the Twitterdilly Arms will have a party.... but perhaps not as large a party as it may have been!

The phenomenal MorrisseysWorld story continues.

I have an extremely busy day today, so there is no time for my waffle, I shall get straight down to business. Yesterday afternoon, whilst I was away at cricket, Our Mozzer returned to The Twitterdilly Arms. Here are his highlight's:

"A lot of people are slinging mud at me because one of my dear friends is having a breakdown. It is so sad to witness such unnatural hatred for a brilliant poet and elegant friend."

"Who else says what I say on twitter? Who else churns up your mind? Yet I'm judged because seven people don't like my friend. Ignorance."

"Now subject to critical comments, spite and hatred from those I've entertained for years without recompense. Because they don't like broken!"

"Broken probably was in the wrong. But why should I be vilified due to his actions?"

"Such is life. Do you see it yet? Do you finally understand?"

OM does have a very valid point here. The likes of Willow, Edge, Mad Alix, Roberto Ferdense, Southkirk et al, all seem to have abandoned the BRS and MorrisseysWorld because of the actions of Broken, and yet they are all punishing Parody Moz, even though Parody Moz has stated many, many times that he is not Broken. It is quite bizarre behaviour. The fact that both Parody Moz and Broken are both CHARACTERS, also seems to have completely bypassed people's rationale. If I were to meet Steve Coogan at the opening a Summer Fair in Great Yarmouth; whilst he was in attendance as the character Alan Partridge, would I ask him about his road trip to Italy with Rob Brydon? No, because I would distinguish that he is at the said fair as Partridge, and NOT Coogan. Partridge would look at me as if I were a complete idiot. Parody Moz and Broken are NOT Morrissey, they are characters, and for one character to be punished for the behaviour of another is, as I have said, bizarre.



ALAN PARTRIDGE - NOT STEVE COOGAN



Highlight's Continued:

In response to @vulgar1mkela tweeting "I love Broken, he is such a joy in MW. Forget those 7, let's just move away from their hate": "Thank you Angela. As ever your words exude compassion and common sense - not that there's anything common about that."

"Will the truth one day be known?"

In response to @RFerdenzi (Roberto Dense) asking, "Are you tweeting from hospital?": "Go away. Thank you."

In response to @southkirk tweeting "Moz is in hospital? What gives? More rumour?": "I'm not in hospital. I can't speak for Morrissey."

Rumours have been rife lately that Morrissey is currently in hospital. The rumours seem to have been started by Sir Cliff Richard, who announced it at his concert last Saturday. As if Sir Cliff would have any idea of Morrissey's whereabouts. The fact that Cliff has a knighthood, and sang Summer Holiday during the rain at Wimbledon, means that he is an instant authority on everything. Sir Cliff is just like a blue twitter tick, although in fairness to the tick, it is far more recognisable in America than Sir Cliff!




SIR CLIFF - NOT AS RECOGNISABLE IN THE USA AS THE TWITTER TICK

It would appear that the likes of Roberto Dense and Southkirk will believe anything they are ever told; just as long as the person doing the telling has a smidgeon of authority. Without the authority, they just won't accept it. People are the same everywhere.

In the meantime, MancLad has posted on FTM to say that Morrissey is NOT in hospital. The only problem is, Manc Lad has neither a knighthood or a blue tick, so nobody will believe him. I believe him, because Manc Lad, just like me, is a t*** aspiring to be a c***, and us aspiring c***'s are sometimes right.

Highlight's Continued:

"There are some people with ludicrous expectations. They're looking to Rat for seriousness, me for reliability, and Broken for compassion."

"You just don't look to Harold Shipman for his end of life care, nor do you look to Morrissey for sentimentality."

"Nor do you look towards Sabine Maltby for decency or EARS when a cruel, calculating decision must be made."

"Believe it or not, we all have innumerable bad points. It's just that some of us have no good points."


In response to @AlexDavidWest tweeting "I'm running out of people I like/can tolerate": "I ran out of people in 1989. Now it's just a case of how quickly the list of those I can tolerate run out of patience with me."

"All the wisdom in the world in a cat. All the love in the world inside a dog. All the inhumanity in the world inside a person."

"Earth is the loneliest planet."

"Love is that thing people do when they give up on their dreams. Love comforts you as you do nothing with your life."

In response to @stillill72 tweeting "@MorrisseyParidy the dairy industry is the meat industry. Go vegan and improve yourself more!": "Sod off. Tea without milk is like life without music." @stillill72 then tweeted "soya milk!" to which OM replied "Soya milk? That's like life with the music of Katy Perry. I'm full fat - rich, creamy and complementary."

"The beauty of words lies in their unexpected diversions through unexpected places: loneliness, urban decay and, of course, depression."

"Did you know? MorrisseysWorld is a thing of genius."

"I urge all those who are still in the BlueRoseSociety or who follow me to show support for Rat by leaving a comment followingthemozziah.blogspot.com"

Despite Our Mozzer's call for support, my blog entry of yesterday received just ONE message of support, and that came from EARS. The only other people to leave comment under their own names were Sarah Munro, who thanked Our Mozzer for returning, and Manc Lad, who called me a "first class t***!" All the other comments were just anonymous abuse. The band of outsiders is dwindling fast.

"Chocolate, loneliness and my music taken together will prevent all future wars. Hash tag FutureWhenAllsWell"

In response to @Nigella_Lawson tweeting about chocolate cheesecake: "Stop killing animals and perhaps we'd show more of an interest."

In response to a tweet picture of gay footballer Anton Hysen: "@antonhysenoffic I respect your sexuality and endorse it. But why the tattoo?" Anton Hysen replied, "@MorrisseyParody because I wanted to", to which OM responded, "I understand that you wanted to - why would you get a tattoo if you didn't actually want one. But WHY did you want one? I'm not asking to be rude, vulgar or insincere. I don't understand why the tattoo has become a gay crucifix. Must all gay men have tattoos, and if so - why?" Hysen replied, "I think its sexy to have it on the neck & I've always wanted one... thumb up smiley face." At this point, a tweeter called @pinkinourlives tweeted to OM, "You should take a tattoo if you want one and it's not a gay thing but a personal thing. Live and let live." To this, OM replied, "Utter nonsense. You don't just do things like take tattoos 'because you want one.' Don't glorify irrational . Simply following the prevailing trends is something for the herd. I like to do things for a reason. It's called thinking. It's called living. Only in 2014 could it be constructed as intolerant to ask WHY! Is intelligence really criminal these days? As a humasexual, attracted to adult human beings, am I not allowed to ask WHY the tattoo is so beloved?"

"Sing your life - many others do, why don't you?

"The Twitterdilly Arms has never been so quiet. I'll have a G&T. Well, it's the only drink we serve."

"@Mancladmozfan Manc Lad knows the meaning of loyalty. Through thick and thin he remains true to MW. The next tour will be known as the Woodhouse Tour."

In response to @BarackObama tweeting, "Parents who work full time should earn enough to pay the bills": "What an aspiration; the reason they don't is because of your federal reserve bailout, your inflation and your Obama care. You are a greying fraud - a pair of teeth with nothing else whatsoever."

"Ignored and rejected by my fans and now even by those fans dedicated to embracing me in the face of such opprobrium. TheBlueRoseSociety." (Ed - And YES, I did have to look up the meaning of opprobrium!)

"This twitter account turns irony into more than an art form: it's a way of life."

In response to @PapaSonsFilm tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody We embrace you in the face of so much irony": "We will turn the corner. BRS is going worldwide." Papa then asked, "Are you going to franchise BRS? As franchisees, will we get our own BRS vans and territory to cover? It's a money maker": "No it will return with tremendous style, accessible to members of good standing only. MW will be a private event."

And just before leaving the Twit Arms, Our Mozzer retweeted a tweet from @FadingGold Leaf which read: "Jelena went to the zoo this weekend. So romantic. I think they must really love animals."




That's all from me for today, but before my comments section once again gets filled with the same old anonymous comments saying that I am either the person behind MorrisseysWorld, or I am only writing FTM to grace favours from Morrissey, I would like to admit to both. I am a fraud, and I am doing this for my own entertainment. I also am clinging to the hope that Morrissey will like what I am doing, and we will become friends. There is now no reason for any anonymous comments. The game is over, I've admitted EVERYTHING. Thank you and goodnight.

Our Mozzer is unwell... well he would be, wouldn't he! He sent 'R' to The Twit Arms yesterday with these words:

"@MorrisseyParody is unwell & will be back when he's feeling better. In a telephone review, Broken advised he's suffering from ACOHS syndrome. Broken put this on the sick note and advised it will be a few days at least. @Broken1andonly will be happy to confirm this. Signed 'R'"

Broken did indeed confirm 'R''s words, saying, "I can confirm MorrisseyParody is suffering from ACOHS, Acute C*** or Hypochondriasis Syndrome. Thanks."

OM also sent this message via his secretary, 'R': "MW will block anyone following @Nonheisler in a few days. Therefore any loyal MWers should unfollow - signed 'R'"

Our Mozzer did manage to send one tweet himself yesterday, although it made no sense whatsoever. He tweeted this to Joey Essex fan @SaafOx: "tweeting from my deathbed, I think this says it all-" One can only presume that this ACOHS has caused delirium.

The only other thing to report is that Broken has told @HeatherCat222 that he and OM are currently collaborating on Part II of a Bans & Ejections Committee parody piece. The original Bans & Ejections article is one of my all time favourite MorrisseysWorld pieces, so Part II has a lot to live up to.

Broken has also been notably absent from The Arms. He did manage to post one Bieber picture yesterday, but rather bizarrely, Broken also posted a link to a Guardian article about the Marine Le Pen's 'Front National' party failing to make inroads into sabotaging the EU.  Broken has gone political!

That is it for today. According to Detective GWO, it would appear that the @nonheisler character that OM has referred to is actually somebody called Jack Shet. Jack discovered MorrisseysWorld about a month ago, and immediately took it upon himself to declare that he was my talisman. Some talisman! Without having followed any of the MW story, Jack has now decided that he is going to run Morrissey's Blue Rose Society, completely away from MorrisseysWorld.  So far @Nonheisler has recruited 28 followers, including former MW/BRS members: @LizzyCatMoz, @Cathyplus5, @stracy1675, @YunaraGunarso, @caterita2008, @MozzeriansATW, @edgeindustphoto, @southkirk, @OdysseyNumber5, @Smashingblouse7 and @GirlonBike1102.

The reason that so many people have left MorrisseysWorld and the BRS, is because this whole phenomenal story has been too much for them to take in. It has confused them, and at times hurt them. Funnily enough, most of those who have left, did so after being disgusted by the behaviour of BrokenMorrissey; which is very understandable as he can be a quite despicable person. This despicable person also happens to be Morrissey, or at least a side of Morrissey. You only have to listen to Morrissey's lyrics to realise that part of him is a self loathing wretch of a man, who hates the world, and hates himself. If I had to think of one song that sums up Broken, it is 'Let Me Kiss You'. Morrissey is NOT all sweetness and light, and if anybody ever thought that he was, then they must have a different record recollection to me.

As Broken, Morrissey has the ability to hurt people without giving a damn about their feelings. I'm sure he hates himself for doing it, but cannot help it. The question is, do you accept Morrissey warts and all because he is a one off genius, or do you turn your back on him?

Now that the dust is starting to settle, I dearly hope that the likes of Willow, Edge and Romina decide to stick with MW & his BRS, because they have all been valuable members. I have had much (anonymous) mud slung in my direction for standing by a Broken Morrissey, but I hope that people will see the bigger picture, and continue to follow the MorrisseysWorld story as it unfolds. It is important that people don't let pride get in their way, because if OM blocks them, the story they will be telling their grandchildren will NOT be the story of how they witnessed first hand Morrissey coming to twitter as a parody of himself and the world missing it, but instead, their story will be how they failed to stand by a very hurt Morrissey as his world fell apart around him. They will also have the story of how they interacted with a grammatically inept man called Jack on his mesmerizing blog So-lowingthePariah. As Our Graham (no relation to Our Mozzer) used to say on Blind Date, "the decision is yours".

Get well soon, M.

After my blog of yesterday, both Willow and George Edge left comments to say that they will NOT be returning to the BRS. This whole phenomenal MorrisseysWorld story has just been too much for some people, and although both Willow and George Edge do believe that Morrissey is behind MW, they didn't like what they saw. It just goes to show that the old adage is right; "you should never meet your heroes", and in this modern age of social media, the saying no longer applies to just a physical meeting. Willow's parting shot regarding Morrissey was, "I understand that pain, anger & depression make you lash out, but to indulge him & let him carry on - how does this help him? It's not a substitute for therapy." Can anybody really see Morrissey having therapy? Would history want genius's like Morrissey having therapy? Isn't having such a complex mind the thing that makes individuals like Morrissey so interesting?

George Edge parted with the words, "Even if it was Moz, he cannot get away in hurting other people who already hurt from life. I do not hurt people in my real life when I am hurting." If that last sentence is the truth; and I have no reason to doubt that it is, then George is either the most compassionate man in the world, or he hasn't felt real hurt. His actions towards a broken Morrissey last week would suggest the former is not true, which leaves the latter. George is a lucky man.

And on the subject of never meeting your heroes, I wonder if Morrissey ever regrets having gotten so close to his hero, David Bowie. Initially it must have been a wonderful experience for Moz to meet Bowie, and then of course, he went on to not only befriend him, but to tour with him and have one of his songs recorded by him; but did the subsequent fall-out taint it all? In hindsight, would Morrissey have preferred his image of Bowie to be the one from 1972?



And on the subject of Bowie, here is what Our Mozzer had to say about him yesterday evening in The Twitterdilly Arms:

"Imagine how it would have ruined my life had Bowie in 1971 owned a twitter account. It was only the intrigue and inaccessibility that made Bowie fascinating. Reading his mundane thoughts on twitter would end his career."

OM seemed in a somewhat melancholy/dour mood last night, and when he left The Arms, he once again closed his account.

Here are OM's highlights:

"Every day is silent and grey."

"Piers Morgan is a corporate psychopath. He's the kind of guy who has many secrets. It must be difficult for Piers now as an unemployable TV bod, drinking himself into a stupor over 'the old days'."

"At times one wonders why one bothers at all with TWITTER."

"Despite Wildean wit and my share of pretty memo nets, I still have almost no followers who care."

"Genius is often ignored during its lifetime, and ignorance is lauded."

In response to @AIRRAID25's tweet saying, "@MorrisseyParody We may lack in numbers but hopefully we make up for it in spirit": "I receive almost no tweets. Do you remember when we tweeted all day? It is clear to me that this journey is almost over."

At this point, a new visitor to The Twitterdilly Arms called Elouise (@Avirtuousvamp) chipped in with, "Or a new journey begins?", which OM retweeted. I have no idea who Elouise is, or how she(?) found us, but none the less she is here.

In response to @Heathercat222 tweeting, "But some of us do still care and hope the journey isn't over yet": "Is fruitless giving myself to such an unappreciative bunch. You true followers remain, of course, but you're small in number."

"Nobody truly understands. I am entirely alone."

In response to my tweet saying, "@MorrisseyParody Good evening. I really liked your twit piece on tattoos. I have never been close to having one, have you?": "Not since a songwriting night in a Camden pub with Boz and Lyn ended in a fight, all of us armed with blue ball point pens. Lyn created an impressionist tattoo entitled 'Sherry' on Boz's throat. I narrowly avoided an inking. Hash tag LynandSherrydontmix"


BOZ & LYN 'SHERRY' BOORER

In response to @Jazissey asking, "@MorrisseyPaordy how ya feeling?": "Life is for living and death is for avoiding."

At this point in the evening, OM started retweeting a few tweets from @RadioTimes! (Please note, the exclamation mark was added by me, it isn't part of the Radio Times twitter name.) One such retweet was regarding actor Daniel Radcliffe appearing on the South Bank Show, telling Melvyn Bragg that he finds it hard watching himself in early Harry Potter films: "RadioTimes Daniel Radcliffe gets rich being crass in a kids' film; then pretends he resents selling his soul for money over a Nobu lunch."

In response to @RadioTimes tweeting that the programme Splash! was not going to have a third series: "@RadioTimes Broken's favourite program." (Ed - The real Morrissey would NEVER write program!)

In response to a photo posted by @RadioTimes of Camilla Parker-Bowles: "@RadioTimes The woman in the awful cream and beige dress looks like the usherette at my local ODEON."


ODIOUS USHERETTE

In response to my tweet saying, "@MorrisseyParody If Kenneth Williams were alive and on twitter, he too would be following and retweeting @RadioTimes. Life is good.": "Broken is somewhere between James Dean, Charles Hawtrey and Oscar Wilde."

In response to @Jazissey tweeting, "One day to watch all the Carry on films": "I used to watch them. I no longer find the motivation."

"Carry On films are suitable only for passing the time on rainy afternoons in northern England."



"Is there a place more loveless and cruel than Manchester?"

"Once you move to the south, you have friends and the sun instead-"

"@CodySimpson You are a very boring young man. You might wide to try fashioning your own personality."

In response to @geniussteals asking, "@MorrisseyParody can you be late to the party?": "Never turn up late to a party when it's much more fashionable not to go at all."

"I don't follow Andy Murray or Eamon Holmes. Why? Because it's essential have some standards, however low."

In response to me asking, "@MorrisseyParody Are you excited for the release of the new LP, or have recent events left you devoid of such an emotion?", OM replied something along the lines that 'Yes', he was excited, but was concerned about the financial side and the critics. I can't give the exact quote, as I forgot to copy it! He followed it up by tweeting, "I would imagine @alexispetridis is likely to give his opinion, wanted or not."

And on the subject of World Peace Is None Of Your Business, Detective GWO dragged me into the filthy toilets of the Twit Arms yesterday, to inform me that whilst I have been preoccupied with all the BRS fallouts, the window of the Universal building in London has been taken over by WPINOYB:



GWO has confirmed that it is NOT the actual bike from La Fabrique studios, and it is also NOT the real Morrissey..... although it would be funny if it transpired that it actually WAS the real Moz!


Before leaving The Arms, Morrissey asked us, "If you could ask me only one question above all others with no topics censored, what would it be? I'll answer the top question." The question he chose to answer came from @AIRRAID25, who asked, "What is your most treasured memory?" It was back to Morrissey's hero for the answer:

"My most treasured memory is seeing David Bowie on stage for the first time. He was superhuman, and I was barely even human. I am lost in him."

And then he was gone.


With OM's threat of blocking all those who follow the fake BRS account of @Nonheilsler; Southkirk, Yuna and GOB have all abandoned it, but LizzyCat, Romina, Willow, Edge, Roberto Dense, Harrison, Mad Alix and Clover Dean remain. I would imagine that Clover Dean is there by mistake, and something got lost in translation, but the others have fallen out of love with MorrisseysWorld, and they need a substitute. They aren't the first, and I very much doubt that they will be the last.... especially if Broken remains on the scene.

And on the subject of Broken, he and I have been propping up the bar of The Arms this afternoon, and we have been chewing the cud. Here are some of Broken's highlights from today:

"@Banjaxer You pretty much define 'loser.' Yet you're a part of MorrisseysWorld and, rumour has it, you'll be in the next piece."

"Boz seems to be almost as integral to MW as Our Mozzer. Mikey's role is underrated. Another key figure without whom it would all lack an edge is Broken. His presence casts a dark shadow, even nastier than OM."

"MW could have been 'the new Dad's Army'."

"@KRISTEENYOUNG supported your stance actually. Why should you be forced to toe the line on 'viral illness' by the narcissist-in-chief? Imagine cancelling an entire tour because you have a bit of a sniffle!"

Broken is right about one thing, he certainly adds an edge.

There is one good thing to have come out of all the people abandoning the BRS; my empty Twitter timeline. I no longer have to trawl through endless drivel to find the relevant tweets regarding MorrisseysWorld, although more often than not, if Morrissey has been on twitter whilst I sleep, the account is usually gone by the morning, and I am left not knowing what was said.

I awoke this morning to find that Our Mozzer had made a visit to The Twitterdilly Arms at around midnight last night. He had Broken with him.

It was a short visit, but here are OM's highlights:

"A late night tour of the prison..."

In response to @sorcha69 tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody the way you described seeing bowie is how i feel when i'm lost and listen to u or fake u either way it soothes": "Time drifts by like pouring Manchester rain in a storm. Then suddenly - a car hits you."

In response to @Broken1andonly tweeting, "@sorcha69 @MorrisseyParody Our Mozzer is our hero. Despite the betrayal of a small number, he remains our idol": "Your affection for that pathetic R n B singer is despicable."

"Justin Bieber's one great achievement was fitting into the zeitgeist without dumbing down. That is not a compliment. Hash tag KnowsNothing"


BROKEN'S LATEST TWITTER PROFILE PICTURE. OUR MOZZER IS NOT A FAN!

In response to @Broken1andonly tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody Good evening squire. Your album is mesmerizing!": "My album is getting good reviews in the music press. Which is not a good sign."

The good album reviews that OM was referring to, included those in Rolling Stone, Uncut, Q and Mojo. I particularly enjoyed Victoria Segal's review in Q, although I don't necessarily agree with her when she states that it is a "relief" to see "Morrissey looking beyond the confines of his own skull." As I have previously written, I LOVE Morrissey's songs about himself, but he I do agree with Segal that Moz is an excellent story teller.

Unlike many reviewers, Segal goes into detail regarding the individual songs on the album, and writes:

 "the oppressively romantic Kiss Me A Lot sounds like it was written for somebody else altogether, perhaps a doomed '60's starlet, or maybe a young Gene Pitney. Staircase At The University, brilliantly fusing The Boy With The Thorn In His Side with Reader Meet Author, archly dictates the morbid story of a student forced to conform. Mountjoy's sombre strum explores the Dublin prison where Republican writer Brendan Behan did time and Smiler With Knife has a Gauloises-smoking theatricality.... an erotic surrender that seems close to murder, or self annihilation. Full of jarring raptures and sudden haunting delicacy, it demands greasepaint, a proscenium arch, a stage-front stool for the singer. Meanwhile, Oboe Concerto starts with a sample from '50's "dame comedian" Rex Jameson: "And he spoke with his voice while he talked with his mouth" - a suggestion the following song is not ventriloquism. "The older generation have tried, sighed and died which pushes me to their place in the queue," Morrissey sings, beautifully before the song ends with a husky, almost valedictory mantra: "Round round the rhythm of life goes round." That might be true, but it's hard to think who could take his place in turn. He might not want to be a man or trust humans, but he remains an endlessly fascinating and complex living creature. A pop star, perhaps. The story of his life.****"

Victoria Segal, we salute you.

The fact that Oboe Concerto contains a sample from Rex Jameson, explains the use of the Mrs Shufflewick imagery on the last tour:




I just cannot wait to get my hands on WPINOYB; which hopefully will be next week as the record company have promised that a promo copy is on the way. I would dearly love Our Mozzer to write a 'WPINOYB Review of the Reviewers', just as he did for the reviewers of Autobiography. Perhaps OM is waiting for Alexis Petridis to write his review first; although we all know what Petridis's review will be like before he's even written it. I am even tempted to write the review for Petridis as a parody.... but I just don't have the time at present.

PETRIDIS - HIS REVIEW OF WPINOYB COULD BE WRITTEN BEFORE A SONG IS EVEN HEARD


There was no more from Our Mozzer yesterday, but here are the rest of Broken's offerings:

"Mad in Madrid. Lonely in Barcelona. Hooray, Morrissey's tour is cancelled. Nobody cries-hies-hies because we all want Moz to dry. Hash tag tour2014"

"I've heard the new album now - and it's bloody good. In his top 5 solo or smiths. Hash tag shocker Hash tag welldonemoz"

"Who'd have thunk Jesse Tobias could help craft such a lush album?"

"@KristeenYoung Will you ever re-enter MorrisseysWorld? Shall we feature you on a new parody piece? Did you secretly suspect M was behind it?"

In response to me tweeting, "@KristeenYoung Come on KY, spill the beans": "@KristeenYoung KY is an apt name for Kristeen @TheRatsBack. Spends a lot of time up Moz's bum. Always embarrassing to be seen w her in public"

"Haha I just paid her back for her lewd comments about M's sexual prowess!"

"My soul is broken. That's why I'm sad."

"Jimmy Savile is trending on twitter, but it's actually misspelled as Jimmy Saville. Hash tag Irony"

I am quite shocked that Broken made such a lewd comment about KY, but then again, I guess Moz was shocked when Kristeen made such a lewd comment on stage about him.

That is all for today. I was going to mention a website article that has mentioned MorrisseysWorld, but the article, which is written by somebody called Helen Bach (@HelenRockNYC), is SO badly researched that I have sent her off to read FTM from the very beginning. Bach thinks that I am the author of MorrisseysWorld! Why are these journalists so lazy? And WHY are the only things ever written about MorrisseysWorld negative things?

*Goes off singing* Yes, I am blind, no, I can't see the good things, just the bad things...

I have had a weekend away from the internet, but luckily I have missed very little from MorrisseysWorld. The only sign of Our Mozzer was this comment posted on my blog in the early hours of Saturday Morning:

Menippus is cordially invited to submit material for the forthcoming article. The concerts bans and ejections committee will be meeting at his home in Runcorn. Therefore OM requests Menippus submits a couple of paragraphs setting the scene and some typically surreal and idiosyncratic dialogue for Menippus making reference to current candidates to be banned, ejected and re-banned (namely THAT MAN, Willow, Edge, GOB, Lizzy or others). The dialogue can be addressed to OM, Boz Boorer, Mikey Bracewell, Broken or Mam.

This should be submitted by Menippus to Morrissey1959@hotmail.co.uk and will be considered for inclusion in the piece. The deadline is Monday.

'R'

Posted by Morrissey to Following The Mozziah at 28 June 2014 04:46

It would appear that Menippus was given this prestigious invitation on the back of this surreal piece of poetry that he posted on FTM on Friday evening:

We are Kleftiko
Unfit to go
Paper bags full of flesh and cheese
Tekenu prisoners of grease, unease, disease and knees
We wanna munch canapes atop the tallest trees
(Well, only they know how it feels)

We are Oxford coma
Regurgitating Homer
From an artificial stoma
With an artificial puckered rim;
We masturbate with phantom limbs,
And punctuation is penetration

We are testicular torsion
Clinical distortion
Untwisted and unbroken
Counting truths unspoken
We are ugly and yeah, all right, we care

Three minds collide and make nine
In the shade of Anonymity
Three by three
In the "plural of plurality"
Lie down, hush, don't be down
I swear down
It's only me
It's only the proneness of proclivity

KEVIN 'MENIPPUS' STOBA.... OR AT LEAST THE PICTURE ON HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT

I have always presumed that Menippus is a Morrissey pessoa, but maybe I am wrong. Marcus Markou once told me that he had posted a copy of Papadopoulos & Sons to Menippus, so maybe he is real!

There has been no sign of Our Mozzer in The Twitterdilly Arms, but it would appear from my timeline, that Broken popped in on each of the past three days, including the early hours of this morning. Here are his highlights:

In response to @Number10gov tweeting, "PM: For the first time all my 27 fellow Heads of Govt have agreed explicitly they need to address Britain's concerns about EU": "@Number10govt What a load of tosh. We both know it's a federal superstate and it won't change. Only window-dressing might change."

"David Cameron is the British window dresser in chief - for his role is dressing the window to sell the  EU to plebeian taxpayer."

It has to be said, it is most refreshing when Broken breaks away from his never ending Bieber obsession to discuss other subjects, such as politics; but it didn't last....

"@sorcha69 Nothing compares to Justin. I don't mind posting shirtless footballers if you think it might improve my image."

"The key topics of my twitter are: Bieber's body; fringe right wing politics; MorrisseysWorld/FTM; and.. rem, that's it! Hash tag Importantstuffonly"

One of the main reasons that so, so many people have fallen away from the phenomenal MorrisseysWorld story, is because of Broken. He has either upset people to such an extent that they just don't want anything more to do with MW, or they have left because they don't believe for one minute that Morrissey could possibly have any association with somebody who posts pictures of Justin Bieber on twitter. What those who have left seem to have forgotten, is that Broken is just a pessoa.

Broken was probably thrown into the mix to test and challenge people. Walking away from MW just because you don't like Broken is the equivalent of not watching M*A*S*H on TV because you don't like the character Corporal Klinger.

Highlight's continued:

"If posting bieber's abs makes people fuck off, then good fucking riddance to them."

It is also an interesting to note that so many people are offended by Broken posting semi-naked pictures of JB, and yet nobody was offended by the homo-erotic imagery that Morrissey used on the early Smiths covers. Is it really so strange to think that Morrissey might be interested in semi-naked pictures of men?





Highlight's continued:

In response to me tweeting, "Dear @AlexisPetridis Do hurry up with your review of Morrissey's WorldPeaceIsNoneOfYourBusiness. A nation of cottage cheese lovers awaits.": "Petridis has already written it. He's just left some spaces for the song titles and alternative 'witticisms'. 'The Bullfighter Dies' finds Jesse Tobias and Morrissey rewriting 80s super hit 'Lambada,' only without the tune. His summing up: "This is a good album. The only trouble is, good doesn't cut it when you're that unpleasant."

There is still no sign of a Petridis review of WPINOYB; perhaps he just can't bring himself to write one. Whatever he writes is completely irrelevant anyway. I think Broken is setting his heights high if he thinks that Petridis would ever use the word "good" to describe a Morrissey LP.

Highlight's Continued:

"Is JB trying to look dense and lopsided on his recent selfies OR has he suffered an hypoxic brain injury after am OD? Christ knows."

"Who'd have thought one could devote half a twitter feed to pics of a characterless brat with no good songs?"

SEE! Broken doesn't really like Bieber, he's just a frinkster!

Continued:

To Tony Visconti: "@Tonuspomus Tony, it's me, Broken. Nice to meet you again. Dom you think you'll ever work with Morrissey again? Do ya blame him for KY thing?" (Ed - TV didn't reply!)

"Moz shirtless is offputting. Men over 35 shouldn't remove their shirts - it only breaks the spell. The more clothes Moz has the better he looks. Biebs on the other hand -"


"OFFPUTTING"


"OM emailed me to say he's received Menippus input and the parody piece will be with you in due course. It might be farewell. Menippus provided an expansive introduction to the piece rather than free-floating dialogue for his parody self. OM actually wanted him to send segments of isolated dialogue by Menippus addressed to random characters which the story would be built. There's still time for him to submit some random surrealist nuggets."

I am very much looking forward to the new parody piece, but as I never understand a word that Menippus writes, this parody might be beyond me.

That is all from MorrisseysWorld for today, but away from MW, Johnny Marr has given an interview to the NME, and despite him being their 'Godlike Genius 2013', he wasn't impressed with them asking if he had heard Morrissey's new album, replying, "(pause) Did you hear that? That question was the sound of the bar lowering". I feel a little sorry for the NME interviewer, because the people will always want to know what Morrissey & Marr think of each other's music, and if you don't ask, you'll never know. As Morrissey pointed out to me after I wrote my infamous blog entry of Day 898, nobody has ever asked him what he thought of The Messenger. Solow have posted an article about Marr's interview, and one of the people leaving comment is Brummie Boy, who some people believe may be a Morrissey pessoa. As I have written before, I have no idea if BB is a pessoa, and as he isn't a part of MW, I am not about to start ploughing through his offerings on Solow, but his comments on the Marr interview do make quite interesting reading: http://www.morrissey-solo.com/content/1905-Johnny-Marr-asked-about-Morrissey-s-new-album-in-NME-(June-14-2014)?page=2#comments


Yesterday, Ed Sheeran's 'X' made it to No.1 on the UK album chart, as predicted. Two weeks today, WPINOYB will be released, so hopefully 'X' will have fizzled away by then, and Morrissey will be back at the top.

Following my blog entry of last Tuesday, I had to change my blog settings to stop any anonymous postings. It was a shame to have to do that because anonymous postings can be quite humorous; especially if somebody is witty enough to come up with a good joke name to go with their witticisms, but unfortunately I was just getting a load of abuse from people with no understanding of MorrisseysWorld.

If people genuinely believed that I was the person responsible for MW/Parody Moz/Broken etc, then WHY would they bother to keep reading my blog? If I genuinely didn't believe that this whole thing was anything whatsoever to do with Morrissey, then I would NEVER read a blog about a fraudster; what would be the point? Morrissey fans like Julie Hamill, Dr Devereux and Dickie Felton have got the right idea, they dismissed MW as not being the work of Morrissey, and they walked away. I don't believe for one minute that any of those three read my blog, and why would they? They are aware of my blog, but they don't feel the need to write endless abuse about me, they just think that I am a misguided fool and they ignore me, and that is fine. One day they may kick themselves for not realising MW is Moz, but they will comfort themselves in the fact that EVERYBODY bar a handful missed it.


DR EOIN DEVEREUX - DISMISSED MORRISSEYSWORLD & WALKED AWAY

Following my ban of the Anons, one anon took it upon himself (and yes it is a him) to register  the extremely original name of Anon E Mouse, so that he could continue to be part of this whole phenomenon; even though he had insisted he was no longer has an interest in taking part. I have now had to ban him from posting, because although he started off trying to make out he 'got it', he clearly didn't, and started referring to Broken as a sociopath and psychopath. Broken is NEITHER of these things, and when this was pointed out to Anon E Mouse, he once again became abusive. WHY do they cling? WHY don't they just walk away? Virtually everybody who has stated that they are no longer interested in MW/BRS STILL continue to read my blog; I know this because the hit count numbers remain consistent. PLEASE WALK AWAY.

Broken once again propped up the bar of The Twit Arms this morning, and passed the time shuffling through his collection of Bieber pics. He was in a black mood (well he would be, wouldn't he), and made this comment:

"The parody is finished but I won't post it. I've realised MW is now quite dead. Goodbye."

Luckily myself and EARS were on hand to add a little comfort, so hopefully we will get to see the new parody after all. Here are Broken's highlight's from this morning:

"MW is in crisis. It's more popular than ever but it's more painful than ever for us to write."

"Having entertained you all for years without reward, we're stabbed in the back by utter vapid people whom we catered to."

"So MW became something for the 'special few' not for 'everyone'"

"The open invitation was withdrawn."

"@AIRRAID25 EARS do you think I've deserved the level of vilification I've faced? What dreadful thing have I ever done? I told a homophobe to go away and someone who criticised Bieber to 'get lost'. What else have I done? We all have feelings... even homosexuals."

And he's right! WHAT exactly has Broken EVER done wrong? Nothing! He is just brutally honest, and speaks his mind. Some people don't like honesty, it hurts too much.

Highlight's Continued:

"@TheRatsBack Nothing irks the insincere middle classes like the truth; it punctures their spirit like a needle in a balloon."

"Genius isn't for everyone"




In response to me asking, "@Broken1andonly People genuinely think I write MW. HOW has that happened? Plain confusion?": "The less bright elements can't tell the difference between genius (me) and mediocrity (you)."

It would be very interesting to know what would have happened to MorrisseysWorld if I had never started writing FTM. Would the world have embraced it by now? I clearly threw a spanner into the works, and I have somehow become a villain. I asked Broken what he thought and he answered:

"It would have been more high-brow, less amusing and utterly tedious right now. Now you ARE MW. I just wish you'd improve the f---ing presentation of the site with those sh*tty books in the background and a brown font."

I also asked what Broken thought would happen if TTY were to issue a fourth denial about Morrissey being behind MW, especially in light of the fact that the MW blog doesn't even exist anymore. Broken replied, "Yo."

That is all for today, although I must share these beautiful words that were tweeted by Astraea this morning:

"Swimming pool eyes, glistening. Reflective. But my eyes are the only place light pools. Darkness around me, waiting for its tidal sweep. Another time, another year, the smell of orange blossoms. The air heavy around me. And if only for a brief moment, there I found something. The Mediterranean pulled me into passionate embrace. Entwined, everything was sensual again. The heat rose from the ground, under my feet. I was free. Cicadas again. Close your eyes. Now, silence. My free spirit. The desire to immerse and to burrow, melding like smoke into clouds of night incense and dreams. While the air remained heavy and still. Intoxication of the mind. Then of the heart. Then of the spirit. Just remember to never open your eyes."

All is quiet in MorrisseysWorld and The Twitterdilly Arms. There is no sign of the new 'Bans Committee' parody piece, and Broken has gone to ground. Is it all over?

It would appear that World Peace is None of Your Business was leaked onto the internet late last night, and people are getting very excited about it. There really does seem to be a buzz about this new LP, and I have NO doubts that it will be Number 1 on July 20th. Broken obviously doesn't share my optimism, because when I asked him on Tuesday where Morrissey was, he replied, "@TheRatsBack He'll surface when the album flops." There will be NO flopping!









PHOTO CURTESY OF @ERICACALIL

It is such a shame that Morrissey won't be on tour whilst the album is Number 1. A tour of the UK/Europe WAS due to be happening this summer, but it collapsed when the big fallout with Kristeen Young occurred last month. The reason I know there was due to be a tour, is because Fifi told me!

Regular readers of FTM may remember that on Day 977 (May 18) I wrote, "Fifi also pulled me into the toilets of The Arms, and whispered a sweet nothing in my ear. The sweet nothing made me smile, but I cannot say any more until the sweet nothing becomes a sweet something." I also wrote on Day 986 (May 27),  "will Independence day EVER come? It can't come soon enough! *coughs*"

My mention of Independence day and a cough were because the tour was supposed to start on July 4.... Yep, if things had been different, I could have been watching Morrissey tomorrow! The chances are that I would have been joined by a number of BRS members, all of us with blue roses in hand. Of course, instead of this happening, I have spent the past month watching a broken Morrissey prop up the bar of the Twit Arms, whilst being kicked by unsupportive 'former' BRS members. Life is a pigsty.

According to Fifi, the tour was apparently due to run through to August 10th, and presumably would have incorporated the rumoured Castlefield concert on July 12th and the concert in Sicily on July 28th . What a crying shame.

This will be my last blog entry for a while as I am going away, and will have no internet access. If the new MW parody is posted on FTM today, then I shall post it before I go. Maybe OM will bring back the MorrisseysWorld blog instead.

I shall sign off with words given to me by Fifi on June 5th, in the filthy toilets of The Twitterdilly Arms. The words were given just before Kristeen Young announced that she would no longer be Morrissey's opening act. I had asked Fifi to give me a clue as to where Morrissey would be playing on the UK leg of the tour:

"Life, life, fatal life. I cannot give you a clue because, as of today, I am not even sure what the answer to your question is. Nothing is ever set in stone and as you are well aware, things can always change. Even the opening act."

I dearly hope that when World Peace gets to Number 1, Morrissey will no longer feel broken, and will return to his one true home.... the stage.

Goodbye.

After five long years of waiting, at last, at last, at last, the new Morrissey LP  has arrived. Having waited for so long, absorbing 80 minutes and four seconds of brand new Morrissey songs is not something to try and do whilst going about the normal routines of everyday life, so instead, I downloaded the deluxe 18 track version of the album onto my MP3 player, and headed off to the Spanish island of Lanzarote, which is where I am now. 

I am writing this having spent the past five days listening non-stop to the 56 minutes of the 'official' twelve songs on World Peace is None of Your Business LP, plus the 24 minutes and four seconds of the six bonus tracks, and my verdict is... this album is simply MESMERIZING. It is a work of art. It is a masterpiece. 

I suppose, as I have spent the past three years writing a daily blog about Morrissey, I would be expected to fawn all over this new album, but my praise ISN'T fawnification, it is genuine love of a great record. There is in fact one song on the LP  that I really can't stand, but that aside, I believe this LP is one of the best albums EVER recorded. 

It would be completely unfair whilst writing about World Peace is None of Your Business, not to mention the Morrissey band of Boz Boorer, Jesse Tobias, Gustavo Manzur, Solomon Walker and Matthew Walker, all of whom deserve huge praise for playing their parts in the creation of this masterpiece.

Personally, I think it is absolute bollocks that Morrissey was unable to get a new album deal as he consistently claimed over the past five years, he was simply making us wait, after all, he is the Ringleader of the Tormentors, and on the evidence of what I have been listening to over the past five days, Morrissey was right to make us wait. If  World Peace Is None of Your Business doesn't return Morrissey to Number 1, then.... then nothing, this album WILL be Number 1, not only on the German College Radio Chart, but in the mainstream UK album chart; it HAS to be. 

Reviews are ultimately a complete and utter waste of time, because the like or dislike of a song or album is all down to individual taste, but this is my blog, and so for the record, here is my song-by-song review of the greatest album since, well, since Years of Refusal. 

1. World Peace Is None of Your Business. The title track is Morrissey's protest song of the new millennium; although just as with Meat is Murder,  it is actually more a case of Morrissey pointing out the obvious rather than a protest as such. In this song Morrissey takes up the position of 'Mocking Leader of the New World Order'', as he tells us that " world peace is none of your business" and that we "must not tamper with arrangements". The song goes on to have Moz inform us that "each time you vote, you support the process". Again, as with Meat is Murder, the song leaves us the listener to ask questions of our own lives, and leaves us to make our own decisions as to whether we want to change our lifetime habits. Meat is Murder has been responsible for turning thousands away from meat eating, so will WPINOYB turn people away from voting in an inept political system , or will the masses continue to do as they are told by the powers that be? The truth can be a dreadfully hard pill to swallow, but Morrissey is happy to ram the pills down our collective throats, and if we refuse to swallow, then I expect he hopes we choke on them.  A monster of a song. Killer lyric: It's a toss up between "Oh oh, you poor little fool" and "Each time you vote, you support the process", so I'll call it a tie.

2. Neal Cassady Drops Dead.  Only two songs  in and we're into the surreal. If this song were a painting, it would be described as abstract art. In fact forget paintings, this IS abstract art! The song starts with a sprinkle of dreamy intro music before Morrissey enters the scene, informing us that Neal Cassady has indeed dropped dead and that Alan Ginsberg, the love of Cassady's  life, "shampoos his beard with his tears". After the shampooing of the beard, the song shoots off at a tangent, first of all listing all sorts of childhood diseases and then asking the listener, " victim or life's adventurer, which of the two are you?" The next phase of the song features some beautiful flamenco guitar playing before we head into a marvellous finish of "li-de-de-di-da-de-di-do's". Bizarre, bonkers and brilliant... I think! Killer Lyric: " Tyke full of gripe, whipper snapper scurvy, urchin made of acne, get that thing away from me".

3. I'm Not a Man. On  the album 'Your Arsenal', the song 'I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday' started with Jean Cocteau inspired radio interference. This song starts with a minute and a half of emptiness, although it ISN'T emptiness, there is a constant background noise, which sounds to me as though it may be a burning fire. Accompanying the fire(?) are eerie noises that shoot in from different directions. The beauty about Morrissey songs is that they can be interpreted in many ways, and my interpretation is that the fire sounding noise is a cremation taking place. When the eerie noises and fire die out, a dreamy song starts and Morrissey enters the frame to explain that if  the definition of 'a man' is somebody who wears a "wife beater vest" or is a "warring caveman" etc etc, then that is not him, and he is therefore "not a man". Jobriath once screamed "I'm a man" as he looked for acceptance as a male, but Morrissey goes the other way, and is happy to distance himself from any such stereotype. We already know that Morrissey is NOT a man, he is a humasexual, and here is the song to prove it. It is easy to imagine 'I'm Not a Man' being used in a film where the main character challenges the stereotyping of sexuality. The song ends with a lot of screaming guitars which will no doubt provide the perfect cue for Moz to exit stage left for a shirt change when he sings this song live. I'm Not a Man is quite simply an INCREDIBLE song. Killer lyric(literally): "wolf down, wolf down T-bone steak, wolf down cancer of the prostate".

4. Istanbul. If track 1 is a protest song, track 2 a surreal song and track 3 an 'I' song, then Istanbul is the first 'story song' of the album, and it's a cracker. Morrissey tells the story of a man who is looking for the son he gave up, on the dark back-streets of Istanbul. Nobody tells a better story than Morrissey, and 'Istanbul' is right up there with all his best story songs from the past thirty years. Killer lyric:  "Moonlight jumping through the trees, sunken eyes avoiding me"

5. Earth is the Loneliest Planet. This song sees Moz in observational mode, declaring that "earth is the loneliest planet of all", and pointing out that "humans are not very humane". Backed by flamenco guitars, an organ, accordion, harps and Kristeen Young's beautiful haunting voice, the song is anything but lonely, and actually skips along quite joyously. Killer lyric: "but you fail as a woman and you lose as a man, we do what we can and earth is the cruellest place you will never understand."

6. Staircase at the University. Another death story song as a student throws herself down the university staircase because of the pressures being put on her to achieve "three As", "and her head splits three ways", but there is nothing remotely morbid about this song as the lyrics are set to a rather celebratory trumpet led backing track. It's the Dagenham Dave/ You're the one for me, Fatty of the album and people will either love it or hate it. It wasn't a favourite of mine to start with, but it has now become a 'turn up to full volume and bop around the room song', which just goes to show that you should never make a judgement on a song until you've listened to it at least half a dozen times. There are a number of catchy sing-along lines including the bellowing, "if you don't get three A's" and the clap-along "cramming, jamming, pack 'em in ramming", but the lyric of the song has to be the humorous,  "and if you break your legs, then don't come running to me". There is also a quite delicious flamenco guitar solo at the end. Love it, love it, love it. Killer lyric: "if you break your legs, then don't come running to me". 

7. The Bullfighter Dies. The seventh song in, and the death count reaches four. The Bullfighter joins Cassady, the Istanbul son and the university student in the morgue, and before the album finishes, there will be plenty more joining them.  As with the poor university student, the bullfighter is sent on his way with a rather celebratory tune, and for me, this 2 minute pop song is one of the absolute highlights of the album. If I had one criticism, it would be that the song could have been more frantic, as it is when performed live, in fact, it could've been cut down to one minute thirty.... or if you took out the 22 second musical intro, it could've been the ultimate 1 minute pop song. Killer lyric: "Gaga in Malaga"

8. Kiss Me A Lot. This song is nothing like the self loathing 'Let Me Kiss You' from 'You are the Quarry'; this flamenco inspired 'Kiss' is full of trumpets, maracas, electric guitars and a confident, self-assured Moz on a rampant kissing rampage.... at his age! This is the most  upbeat song on the album, without a whiff of death anywhere, and it's bloody awesome. Killer lyric: "I don't care when or where, I only care that the two of us are there."

9. Smiler With Knife. Death returns, and if my interpretation of this song is correct, it would appear to be a  premonition in which Morrissey sees a smiling, but nervous assassin coming for him. Morrissey tells his assassin, "you're just in time" before inviting him to "press the blade against my skin" and "slam in one shot", all because our hero is "sick to death of life". Morrissey also assures his assassin that "you'll be ok". I don't like this song at all, not because of the structure, but because of the lyrical content;  it feels too real. Morrissey's premonition includes the line, "If such things weren't meant to be, then they would never come to me", well let's hope he's wrong. Killer lyric: All of them apparently.

10.Kick the Bride Down the Aisle. The organ music intro to this song is SO  Nicoesque that you almost expect Nico herself to start singing, and I dearly hope we see more of this in future recordings. 'Kick the Bride' is yet another highpoint of this marvellous LP, and just as in 'Earth is the Loneliest Planet', it has the added bonus of a chorus that marries together the voices of Morrissey and Kristeen Young. We can only hope that one day the recent petty fall-out between these two highly talented individuals is mended, and they record a proper duet together. This song has witty  lyrics, great trumpets, church organs, harps, harmonies, great production.... it has EVERYTHING!  Killer lyric: "she just wants a slave to break his back in pursuit of a living wage, so that she can laze and graze for the rest of her days".

11. Mountjoy. When the album track listing was first announced, it was debated as to whether this song was about the Dublin prison or the 1970s snooker player. It turns out it is the former, which is hardly surprising given Morrissey's previous with the subject of prisons, although Moz DOES apparently like his snooker, so I suppose it could have been a song about good old Doug! The acoustic guitar hook that runs throughout 'Mountjoy' is reminiscent of one of Noel Gallagher's torch songs, or dare I say it, George Michael's 'Faith', and it helps make this a very simple, but beautiful song. Morrissey tell us about "The Joy", and even takes on the role of an inmate, informing us rather amusingly that, "I was sent here by a three foot halfwit in a wig" - he really, really doesn't like judges! Morrissey also informs us that whether or not you have a bob or two, " we all lose, rich or poor", and there is also the poignant line, "We never say aloud the things we say in our prayers, cos no-one cares". Killer lyric: "We all lose, rich or poor".

12. Oboe Concerto. Having listened to World Peace is None of Your Business for five days solid, it is impossible to say which of the songs on this wonderful LP  is the best one, and of course over time my opinion will change anyway, but for now, the go-to song at the start of each day is Oboe Concerto. I have never taken heroin, but when you lay in the sun, close your eyes, and inject Oboe Concerto into your ears via your headphones, you can  feel the song sweeping through your veins as it hits all the right spots. The outside world just disappears. This song is as good a song as any other Morrissey has ever written, and is the perfect song to bring the main album to an end, especially as it is another song about death. This time it's the turn of the best oboe concertos and the older generation to meet their maker. There is nothing better than a Moz song with a sample of dialogue in it, and this one kicks off with a bit of Mrs Shufflewick, who announces "and he spoke with his voice, while he talked with his mouth". The song also kicks off with the killer of all bass lines which has a resemblance of Eminem's 'Stan' about it. Oboe Concerto  is not dissimilar in structure  to Death of a Disco Dancer, which as it happens to be one of my absolute favourite songs of all time, is probably why I love Oboe Concerto so much. DDD's "love peace and harmony" are replaced here with "round, round, the rhythm of life goes round", but this is NOT the Smiths, this is the next world, and thankfully, it IS our business. Killer lyric: It's a three way tie;  "there's a song I can't stand, and it's stuck in my head", "the older generation have tried, sighed and died which pushes me to their place in the queue" and "round, round, the rhythm of life goes round". 

The following tracks on on the Deluxe version only:

13. Scandinavia. This song has been around for such a long time, that it feels odd to be writing about it. It is a simply amazing song, in which Morrissey declares his love of the Nordic countries and announces, "I'd be happy to die in Scandinavia." If this album were a game of Cluedo, then Morrissey's death of choice would not be "Colonel Mustard with the spanner in the ballroom", but "Smiling Assassin with a knife in Scandinavia". When I listen to this song, I am instantly reminded of the many stunning live renditions given over the past couple of years, none more so than the one in Chile in 2012, and if this album had been released in that year, there is no doubt that 'Scandinavia' would have been one of the 12 main tracks and not an extra. Killer lyric: "I kiss the soil, I hug the soil, I eat the soil, and I praise the God who made yer".

14. One of Our Own. Oh Morrissey, so much to answer for... Why oh why is this song not on the main album? It was criminal that 'Friday Mourning' didn't make the cut on 'You are the Quarry', and the omission of 'One of Our Own' from the main 12 tracks of this album is another crime. 'OOOO' is a song about somebody taking a bullet for another; perhaps a gang member or more likely as there is a military drum used, a song about a soldier. Whoever the song is about, it is another story song, and also yet another death song, which is quite apt as it has an absolute killer hook of a piano tune running all the way through it.  Killer lyric: "I have no use for tomorrow".

15. Drag the River.There is something very calming about 'Drag the River', thanks in the main to the sound of lapping water and the soothing guitars that run throughout. The song would initially appear to be about a girl contemplating suicide by jumping into the river, but the song isn't that straight forward, and at one point we seem to have Morrissey staring into the river, with him declaring that he is sure he heard a girl beckoning him to "join me, join me". As with 'Neal Cassady Drops Dead', my interpretation is that 'Drag the River' has a touch of the surreal about it.  Killer lyric:  "an abhorrent torrent crashing as it pours"

16. Forgive Someone. After recent events, this song could easily be about Kristeen Young and Tony Visconti, but of course it isn't, and after all, Morrissey's life has been so full of  "mess" that no doubt there are many people that 'Forgive Someone' could be about. Personally, I would like to think that this song is a 'ping' song for Johnny Marr, as Moz bellows "our truth will die with me", but the more I listen, the more I think the song may not actually be about anybody in particular. 'Forgive Someone' is yet another song that deserves to have made it onto the main album; it is no wonder Morrissey felt the need to produce this deluxe edition, after a five year wait, he simply had too many mind blowing songs that warranted release. Killer lyric: "shorts and supports, and faulty shower heads, at track and field we dreamt of our beds, in the bleachers you'd sit with your legs spread, smiling 'here's one thing you'll never have'".

17. Julie in the Weeds. I don't much like the name Julie; it's such a rubbishy post war name, but it suits this song, which with it's skip-along tune, has the feel of a title song from an arty black & white post war kitchen sink film. Killer lyric: "all the pain of youth, it will not trouble you." 

18. Art-Hounds. The first noticeable thing about this song is the hyphen in the title between 'Art' and 'Hounds', which Morrissey was so keen to make a point of in the only live outing to date of this song at Brixton in 2011... Yes, 2011; THREE years ago! As with Scandinavia, if this album had been released in 2012, then Art-Hounds would undoubtably have been in the main 12, and not sat here as track 18. Art-Hounds is about 'lovey' art critics who have no real idea about art, and although the song focuses on the art-hounds who visit "european hushed museums", it could just so easily be about the critics who have no understanding of Morrissey's art. There are a couple of changes from the 2011 version of this song; firstly, Morrissey's various illnesses over the past three years has apparently seen his daily pill intake increase from 30 a day, to 32. In the 2011 version of Art-Hounds, Morrissey sang, "I take 15 pills to send me to sleep and 15 pills to shake me awake", whereas now it is "16" at each end of the day. I bet Moz smirked to himself as he made the lyric change, and if we'd had to wait another year for this song, the pill intake may have increased even further! The other lyric change from 2011 is penis related. In 2011 Moz sang, "and below the belt is shrivelled and small, it knows a thousand woes"; this line still exists in the 2014 version but it is also joined by "and below the belt is shrivelled and small, it functions only as a word." Three years on, Art-Hounds is as good as ever, in fact, it's even better. Killer lyric: The obvious would be "My life is opera", but it is only right to finish my review by choosing "If you cannot stand this fake world, take my hand", which we gladly do, as Morrissey leads us into his world; MorrisseysWorld... which also leads me rather nicely onto the origin of the title of this mesmerizing new album. NO other review will mention this, but legend has it that the title of the album was inspired by a tweet sent by @MorrisseysWorld, which read, "Barack Obama, world peace is none of your business". If such a tweet did ever exist, it could only ever have been a coincidence.... couldn't it?

I have returned home from Lanzaratty, and there's a song I can stand, and it's stuck in my head. I honestly do believe that Oboe Concerto is the greatest song since Life is a Pigsty, and if Morrissey were to release it as a single it would.... ok, it wouldn't... but it should!

It would appear that as I was flying home yesterday, Our Mozzer returned to The Twitterdilly Arms. Unfortunately OM has once again deleted his account, so I am unable to report the full extent of what he said in The Arms, but thanks to @Heathercat222 and @sorcha69, I am able to offer some snippets. Rather worryingly OM apparently signed off by saying, "the magic has gone".

Our Mozzer's Highlights:

In response to @sorcha69 asking OM if he had returned due to his album being critically acclaimed: "the critical acclaim? I've never been more depressed. I must have turned into an ageing Dizzy Rascal."


DIZZY MOZCAL


In response to @Heather222's tweet saying, "@MorrisseyParody What a welcome surprise to see you back in my timeline. Still trapped in the Black Lodge?": "I'm somewhere much worse - Bolton."

In response to @loughtonlil tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody I was born, incredibly, in Bolton. Not that I was born incredibly, although it was an experience": "Thank God you only live once."

"Nobody's ever asked me why I began adopting American spellings." (Ed - Does anybody know what led to OM tweeting this, and did he go on to explain why he began adopting American spellings?)

""Kick the bride down the aisle/Look at that cow...in the field" can take its place alongside Earth is the Loneliest Planet's "humans are not really very humane" and the groaning puns on Spanish names in The Bullfighter Dies. Hash tag Petriditis". This tweet is a reference to the review of WPINOYB written by The Guardian writer, Alexis Petridis, or "Petriditis" as he has always been referred to in MorrisseysWorld.

Despite Petriditis slagging off the aforementioned lyrics, his review of WPINOYB is actually a much more positive one than he wrote for Years of Refusal, and Petriditis even managed to give WPINOYB 4 stars: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jul/10/morrissey-world-peace-is-none-of-your-business-review



WORLD PEACE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS - 4 STARS FROM ALEXIS PETRIDITIS


THE 10 INCH PROMO CONTAINING THE 4 SINGLES

Petriditis's review of WPINOYB is nowhere near as good as mine, which even though I do say so myself, is probably the best review written by anybody! If nothing else, my review of WPINOYB gave Astraea (@FadingGoldLeaf) a laugh, as can be seen by the comment she left on my blog :

'Mountjoy is reminiscent of George Michael's Faith'. LOL.
Are those the words of a Rat who dares to go where no Rat has gone before? No, I think it must just be the sunstroke.
How is George Michael these days, by the way?

OM Highlight's Continued:

"My tombstone will read, "best solo effort since Vauxhall"." (This is not the actual quote, but NOBODY took notes!!! *tuts to self* It wasn't like this in the old days when everybody took notes. WHAT went wrong? HOW have SO many people fallen away from following the tweets of Morrissey on twitter? According to @southkirk, everybody has left because they were, "frightened away"! MORRISSEY IS ON TWITTER, and yet people are ignoring him because they are frightened? You couldn't make this up! And WHY am I writing all this inside brackets?)

Due to nobody taking notes, I cannot bring any more of OM's twitter highlight's, but here are the words of @Heathercat222 to describe one of the tweets:

"Funny tweet re Brad Pitt eating a Wimpy burger. "No matter how rich you may be, we all find ourselves in the same sh*t.""

Heather also mentioned that there were some political tweets bashing Cameron and the hypocrisy of the UK government, with OM referring to the UK government as "the worst in the world". Heather informs me that Marcus Markou (@PapaSonsFilm) had some interaction with OM on this subject, but I stopped following Marcus on twitter after he went all weird and started accusing me of being Broken. *Shakes head* How the hell did I ever end up being accused of being Broken? All I have ever done is write the story of MorrisseysWorld, and yet even to this day I am still being accused by some of not only being Broken, but also of being the one behind MorrisseysWorld (See Solowers comments today: http://www.morrissey-solo.com/content/1932-World-Peace-review-by-Alexis-Petridis-(4-5-stars)-The-Guardian)! You really, really couldn't make this up!

According to @sorcha69, Our Mozzer interacted with her and Broken (who apparently was also in The Arms yesterday) on the subject of Justin Bieber and Russell Brand, with OM saying, "Some of us find neither of them attractive."

RUSSELL BRAND AND JUSTIN BIEBER - "NEITHER OF THEM ATTRACTIVE" - OM


Well, that's it! There is nothing more for me to add.  Has the magic really gone from MorrisseysWorld? Has Our Mozzer left us for good this time, or will the excitement of Monday's official release of WPINOYB manage to re-ignite the MorrisseysWorld flame? Will we ever get to read that new Bans Committee parody piece? Does it even exist?

*Goes off singing* Rich or poor, we all lose.... but you gotta have faith, faith faith, you gotta have faith.

World Peace is None of Your Business is OUT! I can't remember the last night I excitedly rushed to a record shop to buy an album on day of release, but that it exactly what I have done today; not only the normal CD, but also the deluxe version. I had initially ordered the Uber Deluxe Bundle from the official Morrissey website, but I cancelled that order a number of weeks ago when I realised that it included the download, which I had already pre-ordered from iTunes. You can never own too many copies of the same Morrissey CD or record, but owning two lots of the same download really doesn't make sense, even to a numpty like me. Having said that, there have been a number of occasions when different members of my household have downloaded the same song, which infuriates me beyond belief, but I guess mine isn't the only household where this happens; this is the modern world.

My purchase today from HMV also included the limited edition 4 track EP on vinyl. For some reason the vinyl version of the LP has been delayed. As I write this, WPINOYB has entered the UK iTunes chart at Number 3, with Ed Sheeran's 'X' currently sitting at Number 1, and Jungle by Jungle at 2. Hopefully physical sales will see Morrissey soar past Jungle (whoever they are) but I have a nasty feeling that pesky Ed may prevent Morrissey from wracking up his 6th Number 1.

Most artists would be pulling out all the stops to promote a new album, but Morrissey hasn't been seen for weeks, so I am guessing that we are unlikely to see him popping up on the 'One Show' or 'This Morning' anytime soon. MancLad has posted a tweet hinting that Moz is currently in Miami, but a better rumour would have been to say Morrissey has died; that would be great for sales. A publicity stunt of some sorts is definitely needed.

There is a lot more that I would like to write today, but I am rushed off my feet, so I can't. Our Mozzer very briefly popped into the Twit Arms early on Saturday morning, so I shall report on that tomorrow. I was also able to copy his tweets that I missed from Thursday, so I shall pst those tomorrow too.

Before I sign off today, I must share three comments left on my blog entry of Friday. Firstly, there is this one from Girl Without:

Is it just me, or does 'Smiler with a Knife' remind anyone else about the Leonid Albrecht novel extract?
Posted by girlwithout to Following The Mozziah at 12 July 2014 12:53


I had completely forgotten about the novel extract on MorrisseysWorld, and my memory is so bad that I can't remember the storyline, but GWO kept a copy of the extract and has sent it to me, so I will read it this evening, and then post it tomorrow; and then the debate can begin as to whether or not the song 'Smiler With Knife'has been influenced by something posted on the MorrisseysWorld blog. Personally I hope it has, because that would then enable me to enjoy the song, which at the moment, as I wrote last week, I just can't.

The second comment that I would like to share is from longtime MorrisseysWorder, 'Jon', aka 'ConMorrissey Theorist'. Very little is known about 'Jon the Con', but it has previously been speculated that he is another of Morrissey's pessoa's. Here is Jon's comment:


Interesting that broken always says his favourite steak is t bone steak!!!! Lyrics from i'm not a man - another 'coincidence?'
Jon
Posted by ConMorrissey Theorist to Following The Mozziah at 13 July 2014 10:02


It's a very interesting observation by Jon, and it's also very true, as Broken is forever tweeting that he loves meat, with t-bone steak being his favourite. It is just a coincidence, of course!

The final comment I would like to share, is from Mozzer himself:


A parody on the way? A hope trapped in the box of a dream?

Today, I had intended to republish an article that first appeared on the MorrisseysWorld blog entitled 'Morrissey-related Art'; which a number of the BRS members had commented bore similarities to the new Morrissey song, Smiler With Knife. Unfortunately, I am unable to publish the piece from MorrisseysWorld because of this comment left yesterday:

Message from Our Mozzer: the Leonid story must not be republished.

Warm regards

Broken
Posted by Broken to Following The Mozziah at 14 July 2014 21:16

I have been censored! Now WHY would a fake Morrissey censor me? Come to think of it, WHY did a fake Morrissey go mad at me when I wrote on Day 898 that I thought he had criticised Johnny Marr? And WHY has this fake Morrissey torn me off a strip on a number of other occasions too? Is he taking his fake Morrissey role too far, or could it possibly be that this 'fake' Morrissey isn't quite so fake after all? "More bullshit!", cries Uncle Skinny. "Liar!" screams Jack Shet..... but there has to be a reason for me being censored by a fake, after all, if this is all bullshit, then what does it matter what I write, especially as hardly anybody reads this blog of mine any more!




Although I am unable to republish "the Leonid story", neither Broken or Our Mozzer have mentioned me writing about it, or indeed republishing the prelude, so here is what was originally written on August 24th 2011, leading up to the piece:

Morrissey-related Art: 4000 words from a rejected novel featuring Morrissey references Aug 24, 2011

Novel title: Make me a Monster, but Don't Kill Me For Being Monstrous

Title of excerpt: Brazil

Novel written in 2008-2009 and kindly submitted anonymously. Please note the writing contains erotic content, though it is not pornographic. If you are likely to be offended, you should not read on.


The piece itself is an unbelievably well written story, that centres around a fictional 21 year old best selling author called Leonid Albrecht, who pays a 24 year old Brazilian waiter named Paulo to rape him. Eventually, Paulo ends up falling in love with Leonid, which horrifies Albrecht, and he ends up stabbing Paulo. Now, what are those lyrics from Smiler With Knife; "sex and love are not the same"?

When I first heard Smiler With Knife, I thought it was Morrissey writing a premonition song, and I really couldn't warm to it; although actually, the lyric "sex and love are not the same" didn't really fit in with my interpretation, but having now re-read 'Brazil' from 'Make me a Monster, but Don't Kill Me For Being Monstrous', it all falls into place. I am now able to listen to 'Smiler' with it having a whole new meaning, and at last I am also able to enjoy it.

I can understand why Our Mozzer wouldn't want the Leonid story to be republished, as he is probably thinking that the story is too easily recognisable as being a link with 'Smiler', but NOBODY outside the BRS is interested. My blog is ignored, and even if the non-believers were alerted to the link, they would just put it down as being yet another coincidence.

Maybe there is another reason for OM not wanting 'Brazil' to be republished. Maybe it is actually part of the 'real' novel that the 'real' Morrissey is currently writing, although as a number of BRS members have a copy of 'Brazil', I can't imagine for one minute that Morrissey will ever publish it, which is a crying shame.




Our Mozzer hasn't been seen in The Twitterdilly Arms since Saturday morning, when he offered these insightful words:

"Life is duller than rain on concrete and unfortunately goes on for much longer."

"I asked why you told me it came to you while looking through a broken window. Without comfort, peace could only be insanity. Shut up oh shut your fat lying mouth. Because everything you said was a lie and you lied better than you ate, drank or screwed."

"Senile old crow to whom I should bow. Senile old crow to whom I should scrape. You're nothing and nothing can save you form death."

"I'm terrible at poetry. Not that being terrible at writing prevented my autobiography. Hash tag SomeShameIfNotMuch"

In response to @Avirtuousvamp tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody The sheep only pay attention to the blue tic...or a selfie": "The blue tick matters more than genius, or indeed competence. Has anyone gained a solitary insight from @katyperry ? Hash tag twitter"


KATY PERRY - INSIGHTFUL, OR JUST GREAT BANGERS?

There was no more from Our Mozzer on Saturday, but I was able to make a copy of the tweets I had missed from Thursday. Here are the highlights:

"World peace is, I'm afraid, absolutely none of your business @BarackObama"

"Genius is often ignored but never forgotten. Mediocrity is forgotten the moment it passes."

"Cameron doesn't care about British people - only his globalist puppet masters. Terrorism is a minor concern, compared to the imposition of antidemocratic governance via EU. Instead of advocating further stripping rights of British people, why not cancel the Lisbon treaty as promised?"

"@David_Cameron David Cameron is a parody of a 1960s PC Plod. If the man can think at all, he hides it well."

In response to @PapaSonsFilm tweeting, "The writing is on the wall": "The writing says 'World Peace'."

In response to a WPINOYB reviewer writing "probably Morrissey's best solo effort since 1994's Vauxhall And I": "This will be on my epitaph. It will be on my grave stone. It has, in fact, been said about every single album since Vauxhall."

"Morrissey dies today: RIP Mozza. "His best solo effort since 1994's (sic) Vauxhall and I" Hash tag sycophanticslags"


THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF VAUXHALL AND I, WHICH IS PROBABLY MORRISSEY'S BEST SOLO EFFORT SINCE, ER, VAUXHALL AND I! (NB: THE LEONID ALBRECHT STORY ALSO FEATURES A REFERENCE TO VAUXHALL AND I)

Thursday Highlight's Continued:

"My twitter account will, in the fullness of time, be considered the modern equivalent of Wilde's after dinner repertoire."

"If you eat meat, you deserve to be eaten. If you eat foie gras then you get what you deserve."

"@Broken1andonly's favourite footballer has been on TV almost daily. Rio in Rio... sounds like a Morrissey lyric."


"RIO IN RIO"

"Jordan is famous for injecting chemicals into her lips to blow them up, and then injecting more to make them go down again. Releasing another album would be a distraction from her lip soap opera."

In response to @stacy1675 tweeting, "@MorrisseyParody my inspiration is back...Welcome!": "You must introduce us."

"Just say 'NO' to Scottish independence."

"Listening to my new album is like eating chocolate in one's tent during a storm on Mount Everest's most unforgiving face."

"Desperation is my best friend."

"Loneliness is my career's one loyal ally."

"Boredom is what drives me. I hate the boredom of life so much I don't ever want to return to living it."

"Sadness chases me like rush hour traffic."

"David Cameron presides over a government which 'lost' 114 files on child abuse but now wants to monitor which sites YOU visit."

"The UK government shuts libraries while using YOUR money to bail out banks and give money to dictators in Africa to spend on Ferraris."

"The only thing MPs care about is a seat in the Lords; and they'll doff their caps to the Windsors and steal YOUR money to get there."

That's it for today. My blog entry of yesterday had the lowest number of hits since September 2012, but the hit numbers have dropped off significantly in recent weeks; in part because of 'Broken Gate', but mainly because I stopped anonymous comments, which drove away all the spammers. I would love to know how many people are still 'Following the Mozziah' with me, so if you are reading this, please leave a comment, even if it's just to say you are still watching events unfold.

And finally Esther, and finally Cyril, according to TTY, World Peace is None of Your Business is currently sitting at Number 2 in the UK chart. The race for the top is ON:

15 July 2014

UK chart position / day one

Morrissey is #2 in the UK with World Peace Is None Of Your Business. He is just over one thousand sales behind Ed Sheeran who is clinging on to the number one position.
Please support Morrissey by purchasing World Peace Is None Of Your Business in the next few days in an effort to oust Ed Sheeran. Thank you.
