Day 1158 - Parody posted - Wednesday November 26th

I had a lovely long soak in the bath last night (Tuesday), and when I eventually emerged, I found that Broken had returned to The Arms, and had also posted the promised parody piece. I abandoned all thoughts of watching the Champions League match on telly, and got to work putting the piece together, which included me having to write a little bit of dialogue, which had been requested by OM:

Our Mozzer has requested via an email today that Rat included one very brief exchange of his own during the parody piece written by OM, myself, Russell and R. The exchange must be no more than three or four sentences long and must reference Justin Bieber. A shirtless pic of Justin Bieber must be posted immediately after this comment.

The piece has been received by Rat and will be amended and posted with images selected by OM himself.

Although the parody piece was posted by Broken, the first segment had actually been posted two days earlier by Our Mozzer, but I had been put under strict instruction not to mention it:

Morrissey has left a new comment on your post "Day 1139 - Coincidentally":

Do not post or even hint at this piece's location until the remainder is posted...

'R'

Posted by Morrissey to Following The Mozziah at 23 November 2014 22:23


Here are Broken's tweets from last night. I have omitted all the Bieber tweets and photos!:

"Parody piece sent to Rat. It will soon be posted. Rat will include his own brief sentence within the parody."

"@TheRatsBack If it manages over 100 comments over 5 days, part 2 will follow." When I pointed out that there won't be a part 2, Broken replied, "There will. Play your cards right and FTM WILL BE ME blog."

"@TheRatsBack Don't forget: MW word is gospel. At first there was the word."

"@TheRatsBack finally MW is back... from a certain angle. It's not the funniest ever, but it's mesmerizing... utterly mesmeric."

"MorrisseysWorld always has about 30 followers, of which 12 are vocal. The names change, but the numbers stay the same."

I am now unable to post anything for five days, which means this entry will not be published until next Sunday at the earliest.

Day 1159 - One of Our Own & Joyce Book? - Thursday November 27th

News has emerged today that Australian cricketer Phil Hughes has died after being hit on the head by a bouncer. For those of us with a love for cricket, such news is horrific.

Back in Moz world, the target of 100 comments set by Broken for the parody piece has been reached, but I am still under contract to keep the parody piece on the front page of FTM, so this entry will not be published until Sunday.

Fifi, Broken and Astra all made visits to The Arms yesterday, with Fifi interacting with myself, Willow and George. Fifi posted a few songs, including Teenie Weenie Boppie by France GallHier Encore by Charles Aznavour & Serge Lama and L'herbe Tendre by Michel Simon and Serge Gainsbourg. Fifi's interactions included promising "a special flash" for George in Antwerp, but no footage has yet emerged of the encore song Everyday is like Sunday, so I have no idea if there was a "special" flash or not. Fifi also disclosed that "there is a photo of me with the donkey at La Fabrique", but this has yet to be seen. Fifi did of course email me a photo of the donkey from La Fab, but not with any humans in the photo, just Tony the Pony.

Fifi also enjoyed my posting of a classic Steptoe & Son clip entitled Porn Yesterday, remarking, "This is excellent":



Broken's visit to The Arms was at 9.40pm Belgium time, which once again means it COULD NOT have been Morrissey tweeting, as he was on stage. God only knows who it was using the account. Broken once again posted Bieber pictures, plus he also posted Twin Peaks clips, and congratulated me on my contribution to the parody piece. He disappeared for a while and returned just after 10.30pm (Belgium time) to tweet:

"My mind aches. Life is more painful than death. Yet the only thing worth doing is living fully."

"When you need it, love is a curse. When you don't even care anymore, love is a rare pleasure."

"The haves make money and the have nots borrow, beg and vote for austerity."

"Forget the trash who were disloyal. The only members of BRS that matter are those who are currently members."

"We will prevail."

"The TRUE MEMBERS will get their reward soon enough."

"UKIP 2015. Say no to foreign war, endless mass immigration, EU tyranny and political correctness."

UKIP LEADER NIGEL FARAGE WITH MARK RECKLESS, THE SECOND UKIP MP TO WIN A SEAT LAST WEEK - BROKEN WOULD APPEAR TO BE A FAN OF THE PARTY

Astra once again joined Broken in praising Biebs, and also played a number of superb songs on the Twit Arms jukebox, which she has also continued to do this afternoon. Astra has also posted some poetry:

"Crescent moon tonight. Dark sky, no stars. That makes one hollow when I raise my eyes. And everything the same below. Beauty in visual echo."


 TA-RA-TA-TA BY MINA - WHERE HAS THIS SONG BEEN HIDING ALL OF MY LIFE?







Astra also left this comment on FTM yesterday regarding the parody piece:

The philistine / Palestine moment was comedy gold. I've never had even one single PC thought in my head, so the Poles unable to eat without their UK benefits made me laugh far too loudly in a far too quiet room, and the mulling over of the idea of suing one's own fans was done with incomparable elegance and untouchable panache. 'Is it any wonder one keeps traipsing off stage instead of playing on?' LOL. LOL. LOL.

All that aside, calling anyone at all a syphilitic cunt is a metaphor without compare. I was very happy to see this in this piece and am so glad that apparently I'm not the only one who likes to bandy this glittering diamond about every now and again.

In other news Mike Joyce has tweeted to say that Morrissey receives 50% of the publishing royalties for the Smiths song 'Oscillate Wildly' and all other Smiths instrumentals, whilst he and Andy receive none. He went on to add that it is "a bizarre anomaly in publishing" and that "I am going to put a book out". When Joyce took Morrissey to court he effectively built a coffin for the Smiths; his book will be the nails. I can't imagine Joyce selling many copies of his autobiography, so surely he would be better off just saying sorry to Moz. Of course Joyce won't ever say sorry because he still doesn't accept he was wrong. His loss.

And finally, a tweeter called @Hatful0fHollow has tweeted to state that she had her blue rose accepted by Moz in Gothenburg, and that Moz placed it on the drum. According to Kerry and Hoarsely, who were both there (without blue roses!!), Moz didn't accept a rose at all. How bizarre that we BRS members are now trying to prove that Moz hasn't accepted blue roses! You couldn't make this up.

Day 1160 - Oh, those Belgians

It would appear that the two concerts in Antwerp on Wednesday and Thursday both contained a little bit of 'incident', with Wednesday's concert having to be stopped during Staircase due to over zealous theatre security, and Thursday's concert attracting another heckler, who Morrissey pointed out was "very brave in the dark" before then labelling him a "coward" before suggesting he "go home".




(The coward in the vulgar red pullover: https://www.facebook.com/WeAreMozzerians/posts/575603089252170)

Incidents aside, last nights concert also premiered both Smiler With Knife and Moutjoy, but as yet, no Youtube footage has emerged of either! There is also still no footage of Wednesday's encore, so we don't know if there was a special "flash" for George as promised by Fifi. WHAT is wrong with these Belgians; it's as though they are a subspecies!

One piece of footage that has emerged from last night, is of Speedway which has the added bonus of a HUGE snippet of Gilbert O'Sullivan's I Didn't know What to Do during the pause. Hugely entertaining stuff, but from reports I have read, the Belgian crowd was a bit subdued, and the concert was cut short after just 15 songs.



There is nothing new to report on either the MorrisseysWorld or Blue Rose front, so I guess I shouldn't really be blogging, and what is more, I can't even publish this entry until Sunday due to my promise to leave the parody piece on the homepage of FTM... not that anyone new is likely to discover it!


A great new Morrissey interview has emerged on the internet, this time with Vegan Logic. It is one of the best Moz interviews in recent times, with Morrissey really opening up on a number of subjects, including humasexuality.

In other news, the former Mayor of St Helens, John Beirne has started a campaign to have Morrissey receive the Freedom of the City of Manchester. He apparently wrote to the leader of the Manchester Council, Richard Leese, who replied saying, "His previous band, the Smiths do hold a proud place in Manchester's popular music history, alongside many other great names. We are however not currently preparing to honour him in any way." Oh Manchester, SO much to answer for! They just don't realise what they have. It was the same with Wilde.... although not in Manchester, obviously!

MORRISSEY RECEIVES THE KEY TO THE CITY OF TEL AVIV.... BUT MANCHESTER ARE "NOT CURRENTLY PREPARING TO HONOUR HIM IN ANY WAY"

And finally, tomorrow I get to go and see Morrissey in concert for the first time since January 2103.... nearly TWO YEARS AGO! I am so so excited, and I just can't hide it! I can't wait to hear all the new songs from World Peace is None of Your Business, but the icing on the cake would of course be Trouble Loves Me. Both my blue rose and inflatable red are ready to go, but I will be nowhere near the front, so an attempted delivery will have to wait until next time, next time.

*Goes off singing* Show me a barrel, and watch me scrape it, faced with the music as always I'll face it.


Day 1162 - MorrisseysWorld Alive & Well

I can barely bring myself to write anything as I am so tired from my busy day in London yesterday which didn't end until I crawled into bed at 4am this morning. My day included meeting the lovely Boz & Lyn Boorer at Vinyl Boutique in Camden, and also visiting the Church of Notr Dame de France, where I saw the Jean Cocteau drawing of the Blue Rose, but needless to say, the highlight of the day was the Morrissey concert at the O2, which was quite unbelievable. To hear/see the songs from the new album in the flesh were worth the long wait. Staircase, Kiss Me A Lot and I'm Not a Man were my personal highlights from WPINOYB, whilst TQID, Suedehead, Asleep and Sunday were the highlights from the back catalogue; although the ultimate highlight was Trouble Loves Me, which was something quite special. I held aloft my inflatable red rose throughout Trouble, and Morrissey walked across and sung directly to it:


MORRISSEY SERENADES THE INFLATABLE RED ROSE AT 4 MINS 12

Roses were prominent throughout the show, with two red roses being thrown to Morrissey during the very first song:


MORRISSEY CATCHES A RED ROSE AT 3 MINS 48 & TOSSES IT BACK

One red rose, which was thrown at some stage during the evening (I can't remember during which song), was caught by Morrissey, and instead of throwing it back, he placed it behind him. Both Myself and EARS hurled our blue roses to the stage at the encore, along with the inflatable one, but they all went unnoticed.

With regard to MorrisseysWorld signs, there were a number of 'O' signs made throughout the night, including during Earth is the Loneliest Planet, although no Youtube footage has yet emerged of it. The biggest, and most obvious MW sign was the 'Horn Hand' which Moz gave right at the end of the concert:




MORRISSEY MAKES THE HORN HAND AT 3 MINS 58 (EARS' BLUE ROSE CAN BE SEEN LAYING ON THE STAGE AT 3 MINS 18 & THE INFLATABLE RED CAN BE SEEN AT 4 MINS, TIDIED AWAY BEHIND THE SPEAKERS)



MORRISSEY FINISHES THE CONCERT WITH BRUCE LEE MAKING A 'V' SIGN IN THE BACKGROUND (ANOTHER SIGN FROM MORRISSEYSWORLD) MORRISSEY ALSO SEEMS TO BE SPORTING A TATTOO ON HIS RIGHT ARM

Broken has appeared in The Arms today, and stated, "The O2 was awesome." Here are his other highlights:

"Part Two of the FTM parody coming soon - Morrissey enjoys a pre-gig meal with friends... and Boz."

"Best songs last night? Everyday was outstanding. Queen was majestic. Asleep was enrapturing. Istanbul and, oddly, Bullfighter flew high."

"I didn't see any roses. Did he receive any?"

"I saw some signs - hang signs, owl eyes... it's not enough... BRS needs MORE!!!"

Broken posted a number of Bieber pictures, as usual, but then turned on him:

"Justin abandons YET another pet. So far it's a snake, a hamster, a monkey and now a dog. Is he a c***?"

"How can someone treat a pet like a fashion accessory? Is he a psychopath?"

"Does Justin's personal beauty mask a hideous human being?"

"After some time standing up for Biebs I'm worried. Perhaps he really is a c***."

"I once had a nightmare in which I kept buying dogs and giving them away. That, for me, is a nightmare. That, for Biebs, is life."

Broken also went into Our Mozzer mode, with a dig at both Jeremy Paxman and Jeremy Clarkson... maybe he just doesn't like Jeremys'!:

"Jeremy Paxman made a career to of asking the easy questions in a confrontational manner. Frost asked difficult questions diplomatically."

"Jeremy Clarkson is the dullest thing this side of a Nissan Primera rear light cluster."


That will have to do for today, I am shattered. As five days have now passed, I will remove the parody piece from the front page and also publish the other blog entries that I have written this week. We now look forward to the new parody piece.

This will be my one and only blog entry this week (unless a new parody piece appears or Moz accepts a blue rose in Dublin tonight) as I have an incredibly busy schedule. The post-show buzz from the London O2 concert has continued for the last two days amongst Morrissey's online fans, but still the masses have failed to notice the relevance of the signs that were given by Moz.

I cannot bring myself to read through the whole of the O2 concert thread on So-Low due to all the usual irrelevant crap that has been posted, but I did notice one Solower asking, "why the Bruce Lee picture at the end?". Of course none of the Solowers were able to give an answer to this question, simply because they haven't been following the MorrisseysWorld story, so therefore don't know the relevance to it being used. As I explained in my blog entry yesterday, Bruce Lee is giving the 'V' sign that was part of MorrisseysWorld, but that wasn't the only sign given by Moz at the O2. As Broken pointed out in The Twitterdilly Arms yesterday evening, "Morrissey made, for the first time in his career, the horned hand sign live - the only MW sign that had not been made live."

As far as I am aware, NO ONE outside of the BlueRoseSociety has mentioned Morrissey making the the 'Horn Hand' sign at the end of the O2 concert, but then again, even if anyone did enquire as to why Moz made the sign, they would NEVER believe the answer; why, because they don't want to believe, they are sleeping!



MORRISSEY GIVES THE 'HORN HAND' SIGN AT THE VERY END OF THE LONDON CONCERT - THE LAST OF THE MW SIGNS TO BE GIVEN LIVE

BRS PRESIDENT KYLE DOUGLAS GIVES THE HORN HAND SIGN AT RADIO CITY BEFORE LATER JUMPING ON STAGE & HANDING MORRISSEY HIS BLUE ROSE - OCTOBER 2012

The rest of Broken's visit to The Arms yesterday evening saw him  A) singing the praises of Bieber (the pet abandonment seems to have been forgotten, or at least ignored), B) Praising us BRS members C) Slagging off ex BRS members. Broken was also annoyed at whoever has registered the old MorrisseysWorld blog site name, stating, "Imagine how low you have to be to register the name of a blog you once visited just to stop it reopening."

Youtube footage has emerged of Morrissey accepting a red rose at the O2 during Speedway, which resulted in the woman passing the rose, being thrown out. The NME also noticed all the roses, and their reporter, Mark Beaumont wrote "as roses were flung onstage", but rather bizarrely, this reference to roses was later edited out! WHY?



MORRISSEY ACCEPTS A RED ROSE AT THE O2

And that is all I have to write!

Day 1165 - A broken world

$

Broken once again tweeted all the way through Monday night's Morrissey concert, leaving everyone asking, 'just whois it that tweets as Broken when Morrissey is on stage?'.

Broken has always been a mysterious 'character', but we should never lose sight of the fact that he is just that, a character, and the chances are, there are a number of different actors who have played his part, including, as I believe, Morrissey himself; although when Morrissey adopts the role, he may not necessarily be acting, especially when the real Morrissey (TRM) is feeling broken.... this isn't straight forward!








Embedded image permalink
MORRISSEY - AN ACTOR PLAYING A PART?

Right from the very beginning of the MorrisseysWord story, Broken was introduced as a Rio Ferdinand/Alan Smith loving homosexual in his mid 30s, who was a failed medic with a love of juicy steaks; i.e, A CHARACTER! In more recent times, he has developed an obsessional crush on Justin Bieber, and become an ardent UKIP supporter. To make life even more confusing, Broken has at times claimed to be Morrissey himself, particularly when the real Morrissey is at a low ebb.

As it was obviously NOT Morrissey playing the role of Broken on Monday night, I asked Broken how he had managed to get Morrissey to make all of the MorrisseysWorld signs on stage, to which Broken replied, "It's easy... he is the blog's biggest fan." Broken also posted, "The ONLY outstanding pledge now is a Bieber t-shirt."


THE FORMER MRS RUSSELL BRAND WEARING A BIEBER T-SHIRT - WILL MOZ BE NEXT?

It's all well and good saying that Morrissey is the biggest fan of the MorrisseysWorld blog, but the blog has now fallen into the hands of someone else, with the general census of opinion being that the new owner is Chuck. Chuck has renamed the MW blog SolowWorld with the tag line 'Not a place for sycophants'. The blog has also posted it's first article entitled, 'Broken--A disgusting person' with the following text:

So, after viewing the disturbing posts by the person known as Broken, one can only deduce that Broken is a very sick and twisted person who has numerous issues. His demeaning tone to those who do not kiss his arse or agree with him is so hypocritical. Those who support this twisted being are as sad as he is.

The new owner of the MW blog has made the mistake of thinking that Broken is a real person, and not a character. The Broken character is not a wall flower, and loves nothing more than a good argument, which has resulted in the Blue Rose Society being ripped apart as he points out the flaws of a number of it's members. He shoots from the hip, but as for being "disgusting", "disturbing", "sick" and "twisted", this just isn't true! Chuck, or whoever the new MW owner is, has used these descriptive words purely and simply because she has fallen out with Broken, but she has failed to back up the words with ANY evidence. Broken isn't "disgusting" or "sick", he merely has a different outlook to the likes of Chuck and GOB, and also has an uncanny ability to highlight human flaws.... which is ALWAYS hard for those with the flaws to accept.

As to where the MW story goes from here, I really don't know. I started following MorrisseysWorld because I stumbled across a fantastically humorous blog, and an incredibly witty twitter account. Both have now gone, although as I witnessed first hand on Saturday, Morrissey is still carrying out signs from the MW blog, and humorous parody pieces are still being written and placed on FTM, so there is life in the old Parody Moz yet.

Will the Bieber t-shirt be worn, and will we see a blue rose accepted on this tour? Interestingly, the BlueRoseSociety tumblr has been updated to include a photo of the blue roses from the new Homme+ magazine, and also @Hatful0fHollow 's 'Gothenburg Blue Rose' photo has been added to the tumblr site. Hatful claimed that Moz accepted her blue rose in Gothenburg; a claim that was disputed by both Kerry 'No Rose Action' Richards and Nathalie HoarsleyCry, who were both there, but perhaps Kerry & Nathalie were mistaken, and maybe the rose was accepted.


THE BLUE ROSE OF GOTHENBURG - ACCEPTED AS CLAIMED BY TWITTER USER @HATFUL0FHOLLOW?

And finally, I must make mention of AlfsButton (formerly St.Ill Moz) who made a whole host of predictions for this tour, which included; Staircase at the Uni being sung as the first doing of the tour, Girl Least Likely To being sung within the first five dates,  a Morrissey appearance on the Skavlan tv show, the London O2 concert being filmed and introduced by Ricky Gervais, and a blue rose being accepted in Dublin. Not one of these predictions has come true, which categorically proves that either A) Alf is NOT Morrissey or B) Alf is Morrissey. There is NO C).

The story continues. Now where is that new parody piece that Broken was promising?

Our Mozzer has left a message via his secretary, 'R', to say that a new parody piece is coming soon. He has once again requested that the piece be left on the front page of FTM for 5 days, but I am going to do better than that, and will give the new parody piece front page exposure on the World's Number 1 Morrissey fawnsite until at least Christmas Eve, and maybe even beyond. It is time for me to disappear for a while. Here is OM's posting:

The next parody will soon be posted.

Once again it must be on the front page for 5 days with no interruption or updates.

If Rat agrees with these conditions, he may write as such below.

The new owner of the MorrisseysWorld blogsite, has posted a new article, and although I am loathed to give this attention seeker any sort of publicity, a debate has started as to who could possibly be behind the site. Here is the latest offering:

Morrissey: An Open Letter


Well, you have disappointed most of your fan base with the horrid, and barely listenable WPINOYB album, and you have the nerve to play most of it on your recent tour. The only ones who are pleased with this are you, the very sorry group of "musicians" that you call your band, and the losers known as the BRS.

You always say The Smiths are part of the past, yet you still trudge out some of their songs on tour--hmmm?

It is a pleasure to have this site, and until you reunite with the likes of Alain, Boz, Gary, and Spencer, no one will respect you or your current work. Well, maybe the fools known as the deluded dozen.

Warmest regards,

A True Fan

P.S. I will be like the world's largest sycophant, TRB, and delete any comments that are not worthy of publication. For example, Comrade Harps tried to post something, but he lacked the intellect and thoughtfulness to be permitted to post.
The best bit of this open letter is where the author calls for Moz to reunite with Boz, but I also like the fact that they call themselves a "true fan", having slagged off Morrissey's latest album and band. This 'open letter' stinks to me of being a spoof, designed to make us think that the blog has been taken over by one of the Solowers, but if that were the case, then A) They wouldn't call it 'SoLow' World and B) The author would have had NO interest in Broken, who was the subject of the first article on the site. I am still convinced that it is the work of Chuck, but here is a list of all the runners and their latest odds:

CHUCK: 1/2. Fell out with Broken when he refused to provide her with the evidence she demanded during 'Fag-gate'. Has pretended to be me on both SoLow & twitter, so has previous form for such things. Very bitter about having been expelled from the BRS by Broken.

THAT MAN 5/1. Hates Morrissey.


DAVID T

UNCLE SKINNY: 5/1. Hates Morrissey.

ANOTHER SOLOWER: 5/1. Hates Morrissey.

JOYCE GOAT: 5/1. Hates Morrissey.


JOYCE GOAT

JUDGE WEEKS: (If still alive) 5/1. Hates Morrissey.

NIGEL DAVIS QC: 5/1. Hates Morrissey.

MORRISSEY: 5/1. Hates Morrissey.

BRADLEY STEYN: 10/1. Twat.

BANJAXER: 100/1. Could be doing this as a joke. Many twitter aliases. Has a blog.

MARCUS THE GREEK: 200/1. Fell out with Broken when he refused to provide him with the evidence he demanded during 'Fag-gate'. An unlikely candidate as he would probably not have known the names Alain, Gary and Spencer. Full of own self importance. Has a blog.

GOB: 500/1. Fell out with Broken after allegedly mocking his suicide attempt, calling him a fag, and showing disgust at him fancying a younger man (Bieber). Not a Solower and unlikely to have the wit to write a spoof letter. Has a blog.

LIZZYCAT: 1000/1. Sided with GOB during her fall out out with Broken, and has remained there ever since.

ROSY MIRES 1000/1. Despite promising to walk away from MorrisseysWorld in 2012 following Our Mozzer's mocking of Whitney Houston's demise, Rosy has always remained, and is bitter. Has criticised some of the tracks on WPINOYB, but as she has travelled all over the place to see Moz on this tour, is an unlikely candidate.


WHITNEY

WILLOW: 1000/1. Fell out with Broken when he pointed out her tweets were dull.

GEORGE EDGE. 1000/1. Sided with Willow when she fell out with Broken, and has remained there. Has a blog.

ANON WHO ALWAYS MOANS THAT HE/SHE WAS FIRST TO COME UP WITH THE IDEA OF BLUE ROSE: 1000/1. An unlikely candidate as the text on the site would have been one long ramble and would have gone on about how the idea of the blue rose came from another in the first place and had been stolen by those with no scruples just because they weren't homeless or could afford to go and watch Morrissey all over the world whereas others who are less fortunate can't but that doesn't mean they love Morrissey any less.

Morrissey returns to the stage tonight in Athens, and then has five more concerts before the end of the tour. As this will be my last blog entry for a while, let me take this opportunity to wish all of the BRS members a Merry Christmas, and to the others who read this old tosh of mine, I wish for you the ability to open your eyes, minds and hearts. One day you will realise.


*Goes off singing* And I've never felt so alive, in the whole of my life, in the whole of myyyy life. Free yourself, be yourself, come to The Arms and see yourself.

'R' has posted the following message on FTM:

OM has announced posting of the parody is suspended until FTM gets more comments.

"I hardly think a certain iconic star would be seen dead on a blog site with so few comments," said OM with a sad smile.

I now ask that EVERYBODY who still reads this old piffle of mine, whether a believer or not, leave some sort of comment, so that we get a new parody piece. Even those who are banned are invited to post; well, it is the festive season!

Meanwhile, with the MorrisseysWorld blog now in the hands of the dreary fraudster, B Budd, and with Our Mozzer no longer on twitter, I continue to stay away from either blog writing or tweeting; there is no longer anything to write about, although I must make mention of  a blogsite I stumbled across yesterday, entitled StillMorrisseysWorld.blogspot.com.

The Still MW blog has been written by somebody calling themselves 'Our Mozzer', and the only article on there is the one identical to one on  MorrisseysWorldstill.blogsite.com , dated July 28th 2014, entitled, 'The forgotten man remains'. I previously posted this piece on Day 1052 of FTM. The only difference to the original is that this one is signed Our Mozzer instead of St. ill Morrisseys World, and it is timed 14:18 instead of 14:25. Broken has always maintained that the MorrisseysWorldStill site (along with the @AlfsButton twitter account) is the work of an imposter, and NOT Our Mozzer, so what is this other site all about? Did the imposter originally call the new site StillMorrisseysWorld and then decide to change it to MorrisseysWorldStill instead, and if so, WHY? And why change the user name? More mystery. Here is the article :

Monday, 28 July 2014
The Forgotten Man remains.

Today I feel as though I am trapped in Mountjoy.  The sun brings many things and unfortunately one of those things is 'sunbathers'. Shock number one is that I am amongst them. Not burning of course and with something between my ears but here none-the-less. Unfathomably still here. Unfashionably still alive. Switzerland relaxes the self and postpones reality for a flinching second. Talking of postponements! The U.S tour cancellations have flattened my spirit more than you could ever know. However, the mental strain of the previous years and due to ‘complications’ with harvest I was left mentally drained and struggled to complete any of the gigs. To those who I have wronged, I apologise and I will make it up to you soon.

Yes One’s mental state has somewhat deteriorated over these last years. I could not even summon the strength to promote my new album. World Peace as a result is limping in the charts worldwide and has broken my spirits even more.  I am the forgotten man of music. Thrown on the heap with Rick Astley.  My album was of course less well received than the comeback album of the one with insecure teeth. Oh well, I’ll never learn.

I have spent today lazing, not grazing, on the beach. It is weird how often life imitates art. I have to go now as Boz is bringing me over a drink. Wine for me and a jug of water for himself. He appears to be wearing a dress and holding a lead that has a goat on it. Some things never change.

Do not forget me. Please

Happy Mozzmas 2014 - part 1. Written by Our Mozzer

Seminal artiste Morrissey, musical director Boz Boorer, former novelist Mikey Bracewell, TV presenter Jonathan Ross, friend/photographer Linder Sterling, former neighbour/literati Alan Bennett and lead guitarist Jesse Tobias sit at a long oak table. The lights are dim and the New York Dolls fill the air with their trademark aural scowl.

At one end sit Morrissey, Alan Bennett and Linder beside a sign which states simply, "Intellectual." At the other end of the table sit Boz Boorer, wearing a conical paper hat, Jonathan Ross and Jesse Tobias next to a similar sign in identical black marker pen: "Practical." Mikey Bracewell sits equidistant between the two groups, sipping his tea, straining to hear the soft conversation from the intellectual end.

"...He's not a c***, he's a b******d," says Morrissey sourly, lifting a G&T to his lips.

"Is there a difference?" Asks Alan Bennett.

"Absolutely," says Morrissey, almost coughing on his alcohol. "If I may show you by example...?"

Linder smiles softly, a piece of parsnip on her fork.




Alan Bennett nods and adjusts his spectacles.

"...Well.. Boz Boorer-"

"-You called, sire?" Boz interrupts in a loud cheery voice.

"-Shut up Boz,"

The table goes quiet. Morrissey goes on:

"...Now Boz Boorer, of course, is a b*******d, being unable to see what a c*** he is... Russell Brand on the other hand..." says the artiste, licking his lips and pointing his finger towards a Russell Brand dartboard over the fireplace... "...Now Russell is a c*** of the highest order, being both criminally responsible for his actions, and a c***. You see the difference is self-awareness. In his defence, Boz Boorer has all the insight of a crystal meth-addicted goldfish after a serious road traffic accident and that is why I consider Boz a b******d rather than a c***, you see."

Alan Bennett looks puzzled.

"Thanks, Mozzer, sire," says Boz obliviously. "You see, I can't stand c***s either, sir, and, well, the thought of being a c*** makes me vomitarian with rage, sir-"

"-Good choice of words, Boz," Morrissey says.

"Is vomitarian a word?" asks Bennett thoughtfully.

"Yes, Mr Bennett. It comes from Mozzer's autobiography," says Boz.




"...Anyway as I was saying, I hate c***s... can't bloody stand them.... hate them.... would cross the road to avoid one.... so I'm happy that Mozzer has explained why I'm a cut above a c***... Merry Mozzmas and Godspeed, sir..."

With this, Boz Boorer lifts his half of lager and the others follow suit with their respective drinks.

"Mewwy Mozzmas!" says Jonathan Ross glibly. "If that isn't a contwadiction in terms!"

Boz Boorer laughs uproariously.

"Hahahahahaah! Did you hear that, sir? I say, sir, did you hear that? Did you hear what Mr Ross just said sir? Hahahahahaha. Did you hear that line, sir? Suit you, sir, I say, suit you, sir..."

The seminal artist sticks his tongue into his cheek and looks away.

"Bwaaahahahahahahahahah, I say! I say! Jesse, me old mucker. Did you hear what Mr Ross just said? Did you? There's no flies on Mr Ross, I say... there's no flies on 'im!"

Boz Boorer begins slapping his thigh, rolling back in his chair, and laughing fulsomely, barely able to hold the glass steady in his hand.

"I say, I say! I say!...." Boz sobs hysterically in an otherwise silent room.

The seminal artiste shakes his head and taps on the table nervously.

Iconic singer Morrissey places his head in his hands and closes his eyes.

"I not get theses joke... they not makest sense in my language," says Jesse.

"I'll explain the joke," says Boz with a stern expression, wiping a bead of sweat from his large forehead with a sausage-finger. "Now...," begins Boz, struggling visibly to find words to explain himself, puffing his cheeks out and rubbing his neck. "You see.. we... we, here I mean.... we... all know... don't we?... what a miserable old b*****d Mozzer is-"

-Morrissey glowers at Boz Boorer and licks his lips.

"... mesmerizing old b*******d-" says Boz, looking at Morrissey for approval.

"-Old? Yours truly? I'm in my very early 50s, Martin, old son. Is Brad Pitt old?"

"Well," says Boz. "What I meant to say is what a miserable and mesmerizing not very old b******d Mozzer is according to the press who harass and prosecute him and hurt him and misunderstand what a kind and compassionate person he is...a man who loves animals and the suffering of the poor... "

"What? Mozzer loves the suffering of the poor?" Asks Wossy glibly."That explains all the fines for his musicians!" Wossy laughs.

Boz Boorer tuts loudly.

"Old Mozzer is a diamond geezer.. that's why the joke was funny, Jesse. do you see now?"

Morrissey juts his jaw out, grins awkwardly, and looks self-depreciating/humble, then glances briefly at Alan Bennett, who remains inscrutable.

Boz raises his brow and waves his hands in front of his face in an act of sheer desperation, apparently aware his description does not even make sense to the British English in the room.

"I no see, no?" Jesse says in the manner of a question.

"It's called Bwitish iwony, Jesse!" says Wossy, glibly.

Wossy squints at Jesse, who remains blank.


Mikey sips his tea. Morrissey stands up.

"Off for a slash. Don't do anything I wouldn't do," says Morrissey.



As the door closes behind him, Alan Bennett picks up the WPINOYB lyric sheet, strategically placed just to the right of all guests. He flicks through it and his thumb stops on a particular lyric. He fiddles with his glasses and looks unsure.

"Brazil and Ukraine, Oh Egypt, Bahrain, so many people in pain..."

Bennett tails off, his nose twitching.

"Does he mean it?"

Linder looks wry.

"I've given up trying to predict what Morrissey means and what he doesn't mean," she says with her soft, fruity Liverpool vowels. "Morrissey means so much more when he tries to mean nothing."

Alan Bennett titters, wiping his nose with a handkerchief.

"Yes," he says. "It's a shame he doesn't try to mean nothing more often."

Mikey lifts the tea to his lips and allows himself a half-smile.

"I wonder what they'we talking about at t'other end of the table, Boz!" cries Wossy as if in panto.

"I'd give a penny for Sir Bennett's thoughts," says Boz Boorer.

"...They're discussing the lyrics of World Peace Is None Of Your Business, Boz," utters Mikey in a soft voice as the modern artist and the playwright nod exquisitely to each other, and exchange elegant unheard witticisms.

"I wrote those words!" cries Boz. "...well, some of them."

Linder and Alan Bennett turn to Boz, intrigued.

"What was that, Boz?" asks Bennett.

"I was just saying, Sir Bennett, sir, that I wrote some of the words to that song. Mozzer told me to."

"oh..." says Bennett curiously. "Which ones?"

"I wrote that bit about Bahrain, sire... tested the rhyme on Lyn and she really went for that one... she did. She told me it was one of the best rhymes she'd heard since she was at her secondary modern."



Bennett thumbs through the lyric sheet.

"But you're not credited, Boz...?"

"...No, Sir Bennett, sir... I did it for the honour of writing a Morrissey lyric. I like to think it stands up with the others on the album."

"One could argue that case quite confidently," Bennett says dryly.

"Whatever possessed Morrissey to put you in charge of the lyrics, Boz?" asks Linder lovingly.

"Good question, ma'am..." says Boz, nodding. "Well... it happened at 2 am in a hotel bar, just over a year ago, now ma'am..."

Day 1211 - "Nobody noticed? Nobody knew?"

$
0
0
With MorrisseysWorld having disappeared some time ago, my days of daily blogging are now well and truly over, but still I continue to keep an eye out, and I shall write if anything relating to the MW story appears in front of that outed eye of mine. Here is my diary of recent events:

Dec 29th 2014: The first section of Part 1 of Our Mozzer's new parody piece is posted on Day 1091 of FTM. I request that I be allowed to add a little something and permission is granted as OM sends this comment via 'R':

"That Rat B******d can write a few lines, but a certain singing poet will of course retain complete artistic control. Tell the c*** he can post a few lines at the end and we'll rewrite them to get them into some sort of sensible order. We don't want TheRatsBack simply appearing out of contest once again, and causing one's readers to have to give up their suspension of disbelief. Honestly, you'd think the c*** would know about suspension of disbelief, what with having written that ridiculous blog for three years."

Morrissey said these words while downing a port and Christmas pudding with Damon.

R

Posted by Morrissey to Following The Mozziah at 29 December 2014 at 12:38



Jan 1st 2015: The remainder of Part 1 arrives at FTM HQ, but I am told not to add anything, which I am rather frustrated about, as I wanted to have Boz Boorer referring to me as a c***, and I wanted to then insert a photo of my recently gained Boz Boorer autograph:

NEITHER YOU'RE OR YOUR! BOZ ADDS A TWIST BY GOING FOR YOU'E DURING HIS SIGNING SESSION WITH ME IN NOVEMBER AT VINYL BOUTIQUE... THE ILLITERATE CUNT (APPARENTLY!)

Broken returns to The Twitterdilly Arms and mentions that he has recently contemplated suicide again. Broken takes the piss out of Fluff Rat (the TRB twitter account remains closed), and then declares his love to me.... although apparently, "not like that"! Broken then announces that, "twitter is dead", and leads his (very few) followers to the MW chat room, where not particularly heavy words are then lightly thrown, i.e. idle chit-chat.

Jan 2nd: Fluff counts down the Twit Arms Top 30 of 2014, and both Fifi and Kristeen Young favourite a couple of entries. The full Chart of 2014 (all 285 songs) is published by me on FTM, but not posted on the home page, so that the MW parody remains in poll position. Broken & Astra's twitter accounts disappear. Morrissey writes his first TTY piece of the year, expressing his "delight" at seeing "serial killer", Karla de los Angeles "justifiably gored in a bullring". Morrissey remains a voice for the voiceless.

View image on Twitter

Jan 3rd: Fifi returns to The Arms, and exchanges small talk with Willow (@smashingblouse7), George (@edgeindustphoto) and Nicole (now @lapinblanc9) about plimsolls and patios. Nobody else interacts with Fifi, which bearing in mind all that has been written here on FTM about who Fifi is, is quite bizarre.
A new twitter parody account of me appears, using the name @TheRatLsBack. It is very obviously the work of Chuck, but as I closed the @TheRatsBack account a month ago, the parody is a bit meaningless.

Jan 5th: Astra leaves the following comment on FTM:

To my current top three favourite men – Rat, Broken, and JB, in no particular order, as all three of you bring an entirely delightful kind of very particular NO order, to my everyday.

Rat, very good to see you and to have you back. My twitter, and perhaps other people's backs, have missed you, your yours, and all of your you'res.

Broken darling, the parody is a deliciously dangling carrot so far. In MW parody world, time and time again I feel if I were to admit which parts I truly find funniest I should be ashamed of myself for laughing at the most inappropriate things, blushing for my transgressions, and then turning scarlet red as my own beating heart for it. Does life always imitate Art? Maybe. May be. I always laugh at all inappropriate things but am never ashamed, and I wouldn't be caught dead blushing. The transgressions will remain of course, but they can only ever be paired with the insouciance that falls by my wayside, my wayward ways, and the playful guile that is the innate and facile barometer of my life. Is everyone following so far? Didn't think so. That's fine, this is how things go. Not all things are for everyone. And nothing interesting ever will be, or will want to be. Remember that.

The parody. The parody! The parodies' comments are always very appreciative, but they often don't say very much, so let me even out the scales that weigh.

I can show you all my better side. That would be my left side, which is a side without inhibition. So let me swathe you all right now in exactly none of the reserve that I surely ought to have. Ought? Ought not. Thought not.

For anyone who's already confused right now, this is your cue, don't miss it - stop thinking.
Thinking's not for everyone, and it's invariably not just for Christmas.

Broken, the parody is so very meta. I'm impressed, and I'm impressed that you managed to parody-dazzle whilst so seemingly parody low-key. What makes the parody so artistically meta are the layers of parody upon the layers of parody that are being parodied. Combined with layers of irony, and I do mean layers, and I see a return to MW form that I haven't sniffed in awhile around here.

It's the meta, baby. It's all the meta. Looking forward to Part Two.
Picture Parody Perfect. And I do love a hanging bar scene.

As for this comment? This comment was an exercise in demonstrating the correct way to spin a jeu de mots.

Oh, the magic I weave. The webs I spin. The board games I love, and the ways I love to win.

Last but never least, in fact, last and never enough.... JB, I can't wait for your new album. When is it coming out? Call me. Your creative insight eclipses anyone's and everyone's, and I know that in between your beautiful new blonde hair and your baseball caps, your deliciously gorgeous, delectable blonde head is trying to generate some serious mental heat up there, desperate like a wintertime Inuit family caught huddling without a fire. Star sexy. And stay SEXXXY. I know you can do it.

See you on Twitter. Or maybe not. On second thought, yes, we'll go with maybe, most definitely not.

Well done Broken, OM, 'R', and team. Still punk as fuck.

Astra

Jan 6th: The Twit Arms chart of 2014 replaces the parody piece on the front page, with the parody having received comments from just 14 people. One day, Morrissey fans will discover these comedy gems written by Morrissey, and will collectively ask themselves, "how the hell did we miss all this"?

Fifi briefly reappears in The Arms to interact with the same three as before, and the twitter account, @AlfsButton returns to interact with Jesse (@MozFiend), Daz (@springheeleddaz), Kirky (@southkirk), Nathalie (@HoarsleyCry), Inge (@IngeKersten1980) & Kerry (@AmIMoving2Fast). Alf, who still claims to be Morrissey, offered the following:

"I have built a career despite blatant self-sabotage"
"If such a thing were possible I would remove 1997-2004"
"@AmIMoving2Fast @MozFiend Did you give up faith after Maladjusted? I nearly did myself"
"Trouble Loves Me is the jewel in a diseased crown"
"Oscar believed people to be in the gutters however I am in the sewers."
"If you take one thing from me it is that you should keep your summer of 2015 somewhat free"
"Life teaches us lessons that are entirely useless"
"Gin is my personal drink of choice. I must be a mother in ruin"
"Dullness is a crime"
"Cling onto hope. Nothing is more attainable than hope."

Bearing in mind all of Alf's very false predictions from last year, I would say the summer of 2015 looks a good time to do your own thing!

An interesting documentary about Morrissey fans from 1995 appears on Youtube.

Jan 7th: A new Calvin Klein advertising campaign is launched, starring Justin Bieber with Mrs David Walliams, Lara Stone. Could this be the start of the process of Bieber finding Morrissey?



Fifi leaves me a message in the filthy Twit Arms toilets, saying, "I saw the chart. I am surprised. Wasn't the Paris interlude song played in the Arms? Nobody noticed? Nobody knew?"

Jan 8th: I reply to Fifi saying, "How was this missed?" I inform her that I will instantly check-out Youtube, and she adds, "While you're at it, look for the French mix of One of our own... Oh wait...No, never mind."

A search of Youtube reveals that during the Speedway pause in Paris, Morrissey sang, "I will change my whole life, and I'll admit, until I met you, that I was all.... wrong". This line is from Françoise Hardy's I Will Change My Life (Je Changerais D'Avis). I have no idea how NOBODY noticed this was sung, and disastrously, neither Morrissey's nor Françoise's versions, made the Chart of 2014!


It is revealed that Bradley Steyn has dropped his lawsuit against Morrissey. The world remains full of crashing bores.

We now await the next part to the parody piece, and what does Fifi mean about a French mix of One of Our Own?

STOP PRESS: Added at 14:00hrs (Original blog entry posted at 12:49) - The following statement has been posted on True-To-You:

8 January 2015

The Bullfighter Dies / single

The 45 pictured below was scheduled for global release by Harvest, but scrapped by Steve Barnett at the last minute. The b-side was the original French mix of the song One of Our Own.
The Bullfighter Dies (1)
The Bullfighter Dies (2)


Fifi's message saying,  "While you're at it, look for the French mix of One of our own... Oh wait...No, never mind", was sent to me at 10:17 this morning. Make of it what you will. In fact, DON'T make of it what you will, let me spell it out...... actually, in the words of the great KW, what's the bloody point?

It felt a little like the good old MorrisseysWorld days yesterday, as Fifi's OOOO (One of our Own) 'coincidence', set the Dreary Deluded Dozen excitedly chattering. Orange Mécanique  asked Mme Fifi how she knew about the French mix of OOOO before it was announced on TTY, to which Fifi replied, "It must be the time difference. Surely."

I had further chats with Fifi in the toilets of the Twitterdilly Arms yesterday, but as I have learnt from previous experience, these toilet conversations are private affairs, so I cannot write here about the content; although I can say that one of the topics of conversation was about the record label sent Fifi flying back out into the public bar, where she played the following songs:

Ci Sto by Françoise Hardy, Les Cactus by Jacques DutroncDracula by Christine Pilzer and En Douce by Jack Ary.



Fifi also played Morrissey's live version of Cosmic Dancer from 1991 in Utrecht.... how can that possibly be TWENTY FOUR F****** YEARS AGO?


In my blog entry of yesterday, I posted the TTY picture of the proposed sleeve for Bullfighter/One Of Our Own. GWO noticed that in the picture, it referenced the mixing of Scandinavia, and she wondered why. Scandinavia was also due to be released as a 'French mix B-Side', so presumably the sleeve posted on TTY is a mock up of that particular single. Art-Hounds and Smiler with Knife were also both due to be released as French mix B-sides. I wonder if we will ever get to hear them?

And whilst I am on the subject of the Harvest sleeve, the Solowers were yesterday discussing what Harvest single may have originally influenced Morrissey when he signed to (FUCK)Harvest. I immediately remembered the single by Aysha called Farewell, but I couldn't remember it's significance. I looked back through the FTM archives, and discovered that on Day 855 of FTM, it is recorded that Astra played Aysha's Farewell a full two weeks before the (FUCK)Harvest deal was ever revealed. It now looks as though Astra had a DOUBLE premonition; what an apt choice Farewell was.



Also in that same FTM entry of January 16th 2014, it is noted that Mme Fifi played the Mauricet film clip in The Arms, that was used on the song Shame is the Name. Those were happy days.

Day 1216 - The Bees Knees

TRM (The real Morrissey) has announced that he will play a number of UK arena concerts in March, which is a great Winter tonic, and VERY unexpected. I had presumed that the first half of this year would see Moz concentrate on his novel, and Boz record his new solo album, but it just goes to prove that you can never predict the Moz. I wonder if Solomon will be back from his "compassionate leave"?

I am only able to get to one of the concerts, but hopefully there will be more to follow.
Morrissey UK Shows March 2015
Following the announcement of the concerts, Fifi appeared in The Twit Arms, and exchanged small talk with us very excited fans. Fifi also posted a Youtube video of TQID/Speedway in Paris, and drew reference to the moment when Morrissey shook hands with George Edge. I knew that George had received a handshake (as mentioned here on Day 1139 0f FTM) but what I didn't realise at the time, was that Morrissey had very obviously singled George out for the handshake. Many hands were held out for The Mozziah, but it was George that Moz dived in for.... and then a broad smirk appeared:


AT 7:38, MORRISSEY SINGLES GEORGE OUT FOR A HANDSHAKE & THEN SMIRKS

I have still not yet received Part 2 of the MorrisseysWorld parody piece, but there has been yet another'coincidence' to add to our list. Yesterday, the online music blog, Louder Than War (LTW), published an interview with Morrissey. The interview was conducted by renown music writer Nina Antonia, but the emergence of the interview immediately reminded a number of us MorrisseysWorlders of a connection between MW and LTW. Jon the Con left this comment on FTM regarding the subject:

I notice Morrissey gave an interview to Louder Than War! Just like MW said he would!!!!!! Nothing to see here, just another coincidence... like the blue roses... the top 10 lists.... the live references... Christ I can't remember tham all now!!!


Class!!!!
Jon




Jon then added:

I think it was broken who tweeted a journo from louder and told him to approach moz, because moz would give them an interview

Remember louder than war then called MW "the M!"

You can't write this stuff!


nina-antonia-l-a-m-f-films
NINA ANTONIA - INTERVIEW WITH MORRISSEY FOR LOUDER THAN WAR

Jon the Con is quite right about LTW referring to Parody Moz as 'M'. LTW's Editor-in-Chief, John Robb (@JohnRobb77), was invited on Boxing Day 2012  by Our Mozzer to interview him, to which Robb replied, "Interview would be great. Thanks M". And now he has his interview! That list of coincidences just keeps on growing.


JOHN ROBB - HE KNOWS!

Fifi again returned to The Arms at lunchtime today, for our weekly chart countdown. Fifi's presence brought in quite a crowd, but her presence also caused quite a distraction, especially when she lifted her sequinned dress to reveal her "bees knees"! Fifi also happened to mentioned that, "it is pretty sunny where I am", which as it has been pouring with rain across most of England today, would probably suggest that she is currently not in this country.

That will do for today. I shall now return to my task of trying to work out what film was being shown during the singing of I'm Not A Man in the Morrissey concerts of last year. Romina was pretty adamant that it was the Visconti/Delon/Cardinale film Rocco and his Brothers, but last night I watched Rocco (without subtitles), and it is NOT the film shown during INAM; although Rocco is however a fantastic film, and bizarrely there is no detraction caused by not understanding the dialogue.... rather like opera I guess.

The following comment was left on FTM in the early hours of this morning:

Broken told me OM is at his wit's end over the lack of attention for his parody writing and the abject lack of comments.

Even the deluded dozen only left cursory thoughts, with a couple of exceptions.

Sadly it now sounds like there won't be a part 2 or 3.

Thank you all for a wonderful journey. It was fun to be a part of it all.

I notice even the publication of an interview in an unlikely place (louder than war) as promised and predicted by MW/broken barely registers outside of FTM. It's a funny old world.

I think Moz will wear a Bieber shirt soon. Most former MWers will shrug, "well, it's HARDLY that unexpected... he wore American Idol after all."

If he poses with a blue rose on his next album sleeve: "Oh well he's done that many times... live... during Hollywood High... didn't you know? Nothing to do with that SILLY blog."

Luke

Posted by Poetic Morrissey to Following The Mozziah at 15 January 2015 at 05:18

NOTHING NEW HERE.... AND CERTAINLY NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT SILLY MORRISSEYSWORLD BLOG


Luke was one of the very first people to ever leave a comment on FTM, but this is the first time he has ever let us know that he is in contact with Broken....Hmm!

It would appear from Luke's comment that the lack of appreciation for the latest parody piece has crushed Our Mozzer, and it is hardly surprising. Only fourteen people bothered to comment on the piece, and of those fourteen, only Jaz & Astraea bothered to show any real passion for the content; we don't deserve to have the parodies. I myself stopped writing parodies for exactly the same reason; a writer needs a reaction, and needs to know that their efforts are appreciated and worthwhile.

Luke is also right regarding the Louder Than War interview, and no doubt his musings about the Bieber shirt and blue rose would also turn out to be true if either/both ever happened. It's all a dreadful shame....and yet at the same time, it is the work of a genius. How the hell did Morrissey manage to pull this off right under the noses of his own adoring fans?


GENIUS

Fifi has again been in The Arms today, passing pleasantries with three or four of her 62 followers. Fifi also posted a few pictures of Cocteau's paintings from Villa Santo Sospir, just as she did back on Day 830 of FTM; although from the reaction from those in The Arms this lunchtime, they obviously never bothered reading that blog entry of mine. No wonder no one believes this whole story, when even those who are interested don't bother to follow it all!

And finally, priority tickets have today gone on sale for the arena concerts. Standing tickets on the priority site (UK.Mporium.org) are priced at £65 + £5 handling fee, and included with the ticket is a free Barber shop t-shirt that usually retails at £25. Non-priority standing tickets go on sale tomorrow priced at £45. Genius.

Day 1223 - A MorrisseysWorld classic & the Chart

In the absence of anything MorrisseysWorld related appearing on the interweb, here is an old classic from the MW blog:

TUESDAY, 9 AUGUST 2011


My Live Tour Journal


August 3rd - August 8th

As the journalists seek to hang me out to dry - at long last, they groan - and my fanbase shrinks seemingly by the hour, it feels like 1983 all over again. My life is once again on the verge of intimacy and that slight sense of impending doom. Surely these are the perfect circumstances in which to launch my next collection of ten to twelve songs: all performed by yours truly with the assistance of the world's best, and best value, backing band.

At Belgium an encore would have been too generous; the Netherlands show was a little more lively. Nothing but dismay and apathy on the so-low place of course. With my rag-tag skeleton of a fanbase, the entire world considers me an insensitive b****** over the Norway comments and my name has become inexplicably intertwined with the absurd Deaux Soulliers brand. Could things actually get any worse? Cue Joyce to go on record as 'agreeing that Morrissey was right about Norway.' Great - just what I needed - moral support from the world's most morally bankrupt human being/session musician.

As we prepared to travel to London I thought I should check my band's email accounts under powers granted to me as an employer by sensibly-worded anti-terror legislation (one of Bliar's few achievements): now Boz isn't bright enough to pose a terrorist threat to a meat pie, so I rarely bother much with his dreary emails to Mr Collins and Suzi Quattro; but my other bandmates certainly have that malevolent quality, especially Jesse Tobias who is part-foreigner as you know. I was intrigued to discover the following correspondence in Jesse's 'deleted messages' file (he'd forgotten to cleanse):


From: Jesseaxe4hire@*********** To: boztherockboorer@*******

subject: SPS

NP B. Will endeavor 2 encourage S to consider health risks of S_ing. Inr risk of V I etc. Will take him 4 coffee.

J

*********************************************************************************

Naturally I was as intrigued as you are. Who is S? What is SPS? S_ing? V I?

I bided my time and then received a 'surprise' call to meet Jesse at a lovely little coffee shop that does the most mesmerising mochas. Jesse even offered to pay. Well, it's not often someone does something nice for me so I wasn't about to decline his kind offer... in some cultures that would be rude, not that you probably know about foreign cultures and that, being stuck on benefits in an industrial estate. During our relaxed discussions about set lists, T Rex and the FTSE 500, he quite spontaneously raised the small matter of an article he had found on the internet which argues men over 50 who remove their shirts when they've been exercising are at increased risk of viral illness and pneumonia. Said his 'wife' had told him that morning over breakfast; quite suddenly it became clear. My eyes glazed over but I nodded at all the right moments as Jesse mumbled about this and that in that innocent little voice, with a thin strand of hair falling over his brow. Bored me rigid. Would have been snoring had it not been for the excellent mocha with a double shot of the strong stuff. Did they send Jesse because he has my trust? Sly. Cunning. Cruel.

When I got back I delved into the depths of Boz's hard drive and there it was - incriminating evidence. The old duffer.

From: boztherockboorer@******* To: Jesseaxe4hire@***********
CC: mr_and_mrs_walker@***********

Dear all,

Boz here. I've just checked out Old Mozza's blog and it looks like we have a red alert. Seems like this really could happen. We need to sort things out to avert a disaster.

As usual, all correspondence should be written in coded language and only use secure web connections. Don't mess up lads - this is too important.

Code the same as usual

Morrissey = Stalin = S

Strip Prevention Strategy = SPS

S_ing = stripping

And remember to use vague language, lots of txt msg lingo so Old moz won't 'get it' and don't, whatever you do, just don't mention his age. Don't do that lads, it's more than your job's worth.

Godspeed

Boz

PS This mesage must be deleted and cleansed now, do not pass go, do not collect £200........................................................................ 

When will Boz learn? You don't mess with The Mozfather.

I got on with the London shows. I gave no outward indication of the knowledge I had gained about an evil conspiracy within my backing band to prevent me from expressing my sensuality on stage with a quick or not-so-quick removal of a sweaty shirt and a quick dab of said shirt on my exhausted musculature. Who are they to deny me?Who are they to deny my fans?

Well, well, well. They did notice on the so-low place that this little blog made the pledge to restart stripping to the waist just a day or two prior to restarting an old tradition with an ironic smile. A-ha. Lights coming on in heads. Slowly.

Another 'clue' at the Palladium? I promised to give another clue and I did - welcome to my world. Ah yes, just quoting Elvis. Absolutely nothing to do with an article I posted a few days prior to the Palladium featuring the review of a live DVD! The same words uttered at the beginning of my gig as a certain person utters at the beginning of his... nothing to worry about. Coincidence.

London was a joy. The slight sense of violence/glamour at this time only turned me on marginally more. As terrible as that may sound, I know you understand.

Well since the clues are too subtle - and now I see my fans are posting private correspondence on the so-low place while others post fake emails supposedly emanating from little old me - the subsequent clues will be slightly less subtle.

I may never post again on this blog but remember one thing. Just remember one thing.

I will soon appear in a Justin Bieber t-shirt, for irony value of course. And then you will no doubt be filled to the brim with regret. That is if you're bright enough to put two and two together. 'Oh it's coincidence!' they all cry. Then perhaps I'll even sing a few words of one of his songs? Or maybe not. Those of you who have remained true to me, I know who you are. Those who have not... don't come crying to me later. I won't be here. As for Boz and the old Strip Prevention Strategy: you haven't heard the last of this, Martin. Not by a long chalk. Now I think it might be time to don the old black shirt and black tie, tied nice and short... a little oversized jewellery and perhaps... yes, I will just take a moment to get the old cold stare just so. Where's my mirror? That's it. Lovely. Time to pay a quick visitto a certain rock musician...

MorrisseysWorld remains dead.
The only sign this week of anything vaguely MW related, was Alf's appearance in The Arms last Wednesday, when he used the hashtag 'KeepSmiling' to post, "Why?". He followed this up with, "Grow up? Why", and then, "Live Well? Why". I welcomed Alf with a "Good evening", to which he replied, "Bad Morning". I then pointed out that he had everything any man could wish for, and that his days should be full of light, to which he replied, "I am much happier in the dark."
Before disappearing, Alf asked, "Troubadour or trobairitz?", and then signed off stating, "Sylvia Plath had the right idea".

SYLVIA PLATH - TOOK HER OWN LIFE AT 30

It would appear that Alf, whoever he may be, is not in a particularly good place at present. Morrissey meanwhile, is in LA - no doubt living life as an International Playboy.

In the absence of anything MorrisseysWorld related, here is another old MW classic, in which Our Mozzer brings up the subject of David Roper's gout with Jonathan Ross! (Ed - Was this an 'in joke' between Moz & Wossy? I can find no reference to such a thing on google!):

SUNDAY, 21 JULY 2013

The Art Of Doing Nothing







Seminal artiste Morrissey is sitting in the centre of the sitting room in his hotel suite, sipping tea with a copy of The Times. Morrissey's  associates are sitting in a circle around him, each precisely seven feet and four inches away from him. They are: Boz Boorer (guitarist/musical director); Mikey Bracewell (former novelist); Mam (Mam/financial manager); Jonathan Ross (Speech impediment campaigner)

Morrissey: [looking up from the letters page] It's a little cold in here.

Boz Boorer: Would you like me to turn up the heating, sir?

Morrissey: Absolutely not, Boz. I've just had to cancel a tour on financial grounds, in case you hadn't noticed old son. Is it not enough that lugging around one's morbidly obese musical director has effectively bankrupted one's South American tour? Must you also seek to spend my pennies on quite unnecessary central heating costs? Are you trying to ruin me, Boz?

Boz Boorer: I'm very sorry, sir. It won't happen again, it certainly won't happen again, sir. You won't find me making that same mistake-

Morrissey: -Shut up, Boz.

Morrissey returns to the letters page, tittering at something.

Jonathan Ross: [dunking a ginger snap in his Ceylon] Well, this is lovely, Mozzer!

Mikey Bracewell: Yes, it's delightful, Morr-ee-say-

Morrissey: -Though a little chilly. Stop dilly-dallying, Boz-

Boz Boorer: [standing up, bowing and looking worried] -May I get you an umbrella, sir?

Morrissey:  Boz - we're indoors. How exactly would an umbrella help?

Boz Boorer: -I was just going to ask you the same question, sir...

Jonathan Ross: You're a right 'un Boz!

Boz Boorer:  That's funny - Mrs Boorer tells me I'm a wrong 'un, Mr Ross!

Morrissey: Am I still alive, or is this actually the afterlife? The tour cancelled due to Boz's spiralling weight and consequent transportation costs - no I won't purchase a winch; now I'm trapped inside an expensive hotel room with him - could this be Hell?

Mam: [Gazes up from her knitting] Be nice to him, Steven. Boz is one of your best friends.

Boz Boorer: [blinks a lot]

Jonathan Ross: I think Ms Dwyer's right, Mowwissey! It's time you gave old Boz a pay rise!

Mam: [smiles, nods, returns to her knitting]

Morrissey: [licking his lips] Yes because we all know how well you paid the four poofs over at the BBC, Jonathan. Is David Roper still having to sell his door knobs to get his gout seen to? I haven't received a begging letter from him for months - has he died?


DAVID ROPER ON YOUR RIGHT, SMILING DESPITE SEVERE GOUT

Jonathan Ross: Gout is a disease of affluence, Mozzer! Proof of how generous we were! And no - David is doing very well indeed!

Morrissey: How much did Mr Roper earn in a year?

Jonathan Ross: £80 000!

Boz Boorer: That's twice as much as-

Morrissey: -Be quiet, Boz. I'll defend you, old son. It's what friends are for. [turning to Wossy]  £80,000? That's a bit limited... for a TV personality on a Friday night slot... and the presenter is earning five million a year...

Mikey Bracewell: Jonathan, I think you'll find Boz works for the satisfaction of being part of the vehicle to deliver Morr-ee-say's seminal literary output. That's a tad different from being labelled a 'poof' on national tele, and having to sing show songs every Friday night in front of Cilla Black's old audience.

Jonathan Ross: That's the same thing that happened to them on a Friday night before they joined my show! It's what they do for fun!

Morrissey: Boz is just a part of a small covered wagon, with the wheels now off, incidentally. Boz Boorer has no desire to be on a low-brow talk show-

Boz Boorer: -That's right, Moz, but if you are short of poofs for your new show, Mr Ross, then I might-

Morrissey: [laughing uncomfortably] -Be quiet Boz.

Jonathan Ross: We'd be more than happy to accommodate you Boz. You could perform as Gaynor Tension. I've always said we need more transvestites on prime time TV!

Mikey Bracewell: I can't imagine Boz would consider lowering himself to such degrading work.

Boz Boorer: Maybe I should turn gay and become one of the poofs. At least then I could wear men's clothes while I work.

Jonathan Ross: You'd be a very successful gay man, Boz! The four poofs did once tell me you were 'their type!'

Boz Boorer: [smiles fulsomely, blushes]

Mikey Bracewell: I had no idea you were bi-curious, Boz...

Boz Boorer: I don't own an aeroplane at all, Mr Bracewell.

Morrissey [rolls his eyes, stares towards the life-size naked poster ofMorr-ee-say on the wall of the hotel suite]

Mam: Did you find out when Corrie is on, Steven?

Morrissey: I didn't, Mam - I forgot. [looking guilty]

Mam: [tuts, continues knitting]

Morrissey: I'm b*****d cold, Boz - sort it out immediately, and find out when Coronation Street will be broadcast on TV!

Boz Boorer: Yes sir, right away sir.

Morrissey: [flicks through a couple of pages of the Times, sips his tea, smiles softly]

Boz Boorer: -May I rub my hands on your back, sire?

Morrissey: Boz... [The seminal artiste lifts his eyes up from the page and fixes a glassy stare on Boz's eyes] Why would I want my back rubbed by your unkempt hands?

Boz Boorer: [looks at the floor, drags his toe around in a circle, looks at the ceiling] To keep warm, sire.

Morrissey: Heating instructions were given in the 'tour instructions' that Mikey supplied the MorrisseyBand with some weeks ago, on page seventeen, just after the MorrisseyBand Monopoly constitution. Are you telling me you haven't read the instructions on heating arrangements, old son?

Boz Boorer: [shakes his head, looks despondent]

Jonathan Ross: Boz, you negligent f***!

Mam: [looks up from her knitting and glances at Wossy, sighs and continues knitting]

Morrissey: What sort of a butler are you, Boz? It's all very well casting envious glances towards Jonathan's low-brow TV show, but how about actually fulfilling your contractual obligations to your employer, old son?

Boz Boorer: I'm sorry, sir-

Morrissey: Mikey, perhaps you could help Boz out. We don't want to humiliate the great lump-

Mikey Bracewell: -Boz, the instructions did clearly state on page seventeen that Morr-ee-say's hotel guests should be seated in a circle facing away from the seminal artiste at a distance of precisely seven feet four inches, but that in the event of the artiste feeling a little chilly, his guests should be moved in by one foot each hour until the artiste announces that, and I quote: "we are most satisfied."

Boz Boorer: [loudly encourages the guests to stand up, rearranges the chairs, measuring the distance with his tape measure on his hands and knees, showing some arse cleavage as he does so]

Ten minutes later everyone is sitting a foot closer to the seminal artiste and he is smirking at an article in the Times, appearing quite sanguine.


Morrissey: Have you forgotten something, Boz?

Boz Boorer: [looks blank]

Morrissey: -Coronation Street... [rolls his eyes, juts out his jaw]... and bring me some asprin..!

Boz Boorer: Yes, sir, at once sir. [he leaves the room]

Morrissey: The art of doing nothing is the art of capitalism.

Mikey Bracewell: I thought you were a socialist, Morr-ee-say-

Morrissey: I am, Mikey. I was being ironic.

Jonathan Ross: [smiles glibly]

Mam: Can I have one of those nice biscuits you have, Steven? The gluten-free ones?




Morrisey: [shouting] Boz...! Boz...!

My '@TheRatsBack' twitter account remains closed (as does Astra's, Broken's etc), but I used the '@UpthePier' account yesterday to ask for 5 re-tweets if people wanted me to do the usual Tuesday chart countdown today. I received two.

Over and out.

Day 1244 - Still Dead

$
0
0
I have weaned myself away from the Twitterdilly Arms, so have no idea if I have missed anything relating to MorrisseysWorld, but no one has posted anything on FTM mentioning Our Mozzer, so I'm pretty confident that MorrisseysWorld remains dead, and therefore FTM remains dead too.

The only reason I have taken to my keyboard today, is to make mention of a new blog called FollowingThePessoas.blogspot.com, which is a send up of FTM.  I am flattered to be parodied, but unfortunately it just isn't very amusing..... or perhaps I have just lost my sense of humour! I don't suppose my friend taking his own life last Friday has helped on the old humour front, although it does seem to have turned it blacker and sicker than ever, which can't be a bad thing.

One person who does seem to appreciate the new Pessoa blog is Astraea, who has re-appeared from nowhere to post the following comment on it:

Why good evening, good taste!

Let's welcome one and let's welcome all. Very nice digs. I think I'll make myself at home.

Of course, I would never dream of taking advantage of OM's good nature. In fact, I would never dream of taking advantage of OM at all. Where OM's golden parody shines, my golden parody light can only follow. Think of my bright parody star, shining in the dark, like a parody beacon.

On second thought, scratch that. Think of me instead as the airplane emergency lighting on the floor, by the sides of the aisles. Gently twinkling. But with fantastic legs.

As time waits for no one, let's just get right down to the dirty. Right now.

Does Gwyneth Paltrow's newfound enthusiasm for waxing poetic about the acute cerebral ecstasy that can be attained through her newest hobby that she's just taken up, vaginal steaming, mean that:

1. The aromatherapy oils in their steam distilled state have gone straight to her, err, head?
2. Her sense of irony is greater than it was before she started blogging about the thralls of vaginal steaming?
3. Her sense of irony is less than it was before she started steaming her nethers?
4. The only thing she knows about Irony is that it's the name of David Beckham's new cologne, soon available for your refined and discerning pleasure at all good precinct Poundlands everywhere. Oh, it's not the name of his new cologne? But it could be.

All answers on postcards please, before the end of the week. If they're delivered to the side of my sun lounger, I'll be checking the ground around me, on or around about Friday morning. It is true however that I don't always like to have to keep track of what day it is, so we'll see how this one goes.

In February repose,

And usually methodically mesmerizing, all the way to my magma core


Morrissey remains in LA, where he has been seen out and about at various locations, including a Patti Smith concert and a Buffy Sainte-Marie concert, where he was photographed with both Buffy and Jackson Browne.

Before I took my leave from The Arms, I did notice that Broken had made a brief appearance, on Wednesday January 28, to state, "blue boots 4 ever", but I have no idea what this is a reference to, and if I'm honest, I no longer care.

As to why some poor sod has decided to parody me at this late stage, I really don't know, but he(?)'s missed the boat, MW died some time ago, and is still dead!

Over and out again.

Rat

Ps Please DO NOT leave any sympathetic comments, that would be too unbearable. Thank you and goodnight.

Day 1246 - A mouth full of smart, a heart full of tart, and a fistful of liquid hope

I am not supposed to be here anymore; I had happily walked away when the phenomenal MorrisseysWorld story came to an end on the 15th of January, when Poetic Luke announced it was all over....... but for some unbeknown reason, even though I hadn't written anything at all for two weeks and had no intention of ever blogging again, one of the Solowers has poked me with a stick by starting a poorly written blog called FollowingThePessoas, in which I am accused of bullying those who followed the MorrisseysWorld story.

I would have completely ignored this new two bit blog; after all, MW is dead and I therefore have no interest whatsoever in the humourless musings of somebody who missed the whole journey, but rather bizarrely, this dreary blogger has managed to grab the attention of Astra - who I have always believed to be one of Morrissey's pessoas - and I am therefore contractually obligated to report everything Astra writes..... so once again, here I am, Following the Mozziah!

Yesterday's ghastly offering from the author (he signs himself as Ronnie S) of FTP, was just a nonsense list of everyone who had so far left comment on his poor excuse of a blog; which rather disappointingly included Astra, Jaz and GWO, all of whom praised the blogger for his efforts *raises eyes to the heavens in despair*. This non event of a blog entry then drew even more praising comments, this time from Kerry 'No Action in Gothenburg' Richards, Hoarsely 'No Action in Gothenburg from me either' Cry, and most disappointingly of all; and yet it's the reason I am here writing this today, ASTRA! Here is her comment:

META, BABY. Just keep it coming!

I have a mouth full of smart, a heart full of tart, and a fistful of liquid hope.

And a little bit of magic to meet my SWAY, because when I walk into the room, I'll be bringing two limes with me in one of my pockets, and Shangri-La with me in the other.

A beautifully, beautifully parodied pas de deux.

From the chaise,

Where my highbrow always finds my lowbrow, and where to hell with all the consequences will be the only star that paves the way

Keep it coming

Astra
P.S. Mothercunting Twatter isn't letting me sign in to my fucking mothercunting Twatter account. So what the MOTHERCUNTING FUCK. 

If anyone would like to resolve this issue for me, please feel free.



I have no idea why Astra is engaging with this dreadful Solower called Ronnie S, and I also have no idea why Ronnie S has started writing this hideous looking blog when he supposedly thinks I made-up the whole MorrisseysWorld thing in the first place! If he really believes that I made it up, and therefore by definition thinks I am Astra, then why is he now getting so excited at Astra's appearance? You couldn't make this up!

I have nothing more to add regarding MorrisseysWorld, and if it all goes quiet again, I shall happily just fade away. Meanwhile, the BlueRoseSociety website has taken a new tack, and is just stating the FACTS regarding the roses, as opposed to anything to do with MorrisseysWorld. Is there still a chance that one day Morrissey's concert halls will be full of roses?



While I am here, I may as well report on other events in the world of Morrissey. Firstly, the other day, Morrissey posted a couple of photos on TTY, and he added that one of the photos was taken by his bass player, Mando Lopez. I have interpreted this to mean that Mando remains 'on board', and we will therefore not be seeing Solomon Walker return when the UK tour starts next month.

Secondly, Buffy Sainte-Marie has posted the following on the inter web:
"Surprise visit last night from Morrissey, one of UK and Europe's most beloved artists. Scrambling dates to see IF we can accept his invitation to be part of his arena tour in March - hope hope."
Now that would be incredible!



Morrissey has also taken to TTY to attack the BRIT awards, and included a quote from "writer Michael Bracewell". What a shame he didn't refer to Bracewell as either 'Mikey', or 'the former novelist'.... but then again, why would he, as it was the author of MorrisseysWorld who referred to Bracewell using these terms, and NOT Morrissey!

*Goes off singing* He can play it like a rainbow, baby, He can play it like a clown, He can play it like a river, baby, And he can follow you down.

Day 1248 - The Finger of Suspicion

$

I have received my first email from Morrissey in eight months; although it is hardly anything to get excited about, as it was both extremely brief, and not exactly enquiring after my wellbeing! Basically, Morrissey wanted to know if it was me behind the dreadfully dull Following The Piss Stains blog that has recently appeared on the scene.
I replied to Morrissey's email explaining that it most certainly was not me behind that semi-illiterate blog, but I can't help but feel slight amusement at The Mozziah thinking it was me, especially as I have spent the past three years having most of Mozzer's fans thinking I was behind his MorrisseysWorld blog; which incidentally was a great compliment to me, as opposed to the major insult of Moz thinking that I am behind FTP. It's a funny old world.... although in the case of Following The Piss Stains, not that funny!

pointing animated GIF
THE FINGER OF SUSPICION

Yesterday I reported that the dying embers of MorrisseysWorld had been fanned by the appearance of Astra on the second rate Following the Piss Stains thingy. My reporting brought Astra back to the comments section of FTM, where she rightfully belongs:

I see everyone's still after my sway.

Very good to see you back, Rat. As for everything else,.... well.
At least Mercury retrograde's finally over today.
A parody blog of the parody blog following the original parody blog could have been interesting. I keep my hopes high, just like all my hems.

If anyone wants to talk about Buffy or Biebs, I'm under the umbrella.

It doesn't look like Astra plans to return to The Twitterdilly Arms anytime soon though, as she added:


"I would open a new account, it's just that... oh, I remember now. I can't really stand Twatter! If Chezza or Justin ever bothered to tweet me back, it might be a different story.

I feel like sometimes neither of them take my fan-ship seriously."




And on the subject of Biebs, he has posted a picture of himself on twitter wearing a NYPD uniform. Poor JB, he's obviously trying to be like Elvis, but he manages to make himself look like a school kid on a visit to the local station. I'm sure Broken would appreciate Biebs in a uniform though!:

Astra also added this regarding Cheryl Cole (or whatever her name is this year):

"Cheryl Cole is so intelligent she could have been anything. Neurosurgeons of the World Unite and Take Over.

Neurosurgeons of the World Unite and Take Over plus Chezza, Chezza's mum flashing her knickerless crotch out of taxis, and Chezza's third husband. It still has a little je ne sais quoi, non?

We hope she stops before she hits husband number 5, as that's where she believes the double digits begin.

A breath of fresh air if I ever saw one. Thank God she has such spectacular songs to get by on instead. The neurosurgeons may never even know what they're missing.

Chezza-4-Eva"

$

The Mozziah made a Valentine's Day return to The Twitterdilly Arms yesterday, using Broken's twatter account to post tweets, and he was on TOP form.



HEARTS

ROSES

CHOCOLATE

The tweeting started at around 9pm (UK time), with Broken asking, "Will Morr-ee-say return?"
He followed this up with a few Bieber related tweets, before then adding the following:

"I don't think I have any followers left. I prefer it this way." (Ed - current number of followers is 105)

"Working class have sex in bed and eat in the kitchen. Middle class have sex in the kitchen and eat in bed. Upper class do both together."

"Justin Bieber is the cutest heavily tattooed sociopath."

"The final thing one does before death is start to live."

"Why do we leave it until the very end to see that life is too important to have a job?"

"My wit is Wildean, my plaintive manner Morrisseyean, my loathsome quality entirely my own."

"I would sugar-coat my life, but you'd only get diabetes."

"Love is the final step in growing up. It helps you to realise your life has intrinsic meaning. It follows therefore that you become nothing."

"People didn't realise I was profound. They thought I was a pseudo profound c*** with a personality disorder and a Bieber fetish."

"Poetry teaches you who you are. Literature teaches you why you are. Pop music teaches you to zig-a-zig-ahh."

"I wonder when pop music will be resuscitated? Is there a doctor in the house?"


SIR LANCELOTT SPRATT - THE SAVIOUR OF POPULAR MUSIC?

"Cowell didn't kill pop music, he simply sneered at the funeral."

"Holly and Fastidious Phil are about as fascinating in the mornings as lithium and thorazine. More specifically, Phil Schofield prevents one feeling happy or sad (lithium), while Holly prevents thought per se (thorazine)"

"I suppose none of you realised I was actually witty."

" Did I speak too soon? Shall I return to Bieberdom?"

"Without Twitter, I don't actually exist at all."

"If I win the lottery, I shall cancel my life and take up golf."

"The peculiar thing about America is that it talks only about freedom and does everything it can possibly do to extinguish freedom."

"Just as Dubya stole elections and lectured the world on d'mocracy."

"People say America is too right wing. But which other nation would elect a guy with special needs and a drinking problem as President?"



"Did I just call someone a 'guy?' Perhaps I misunderestimated myself." (Ed - Screams of "Morrissey would NEVER" are heard from all around the indie pop world)

In response to a Bieber fan tweeting about seeing JB's Calvin Klein advert during the showing of Fifty Shades of Grey:
"I suppose that's the good thing about fifty shades. Even JB's CK advert seems sexy by comparison. The most sterile film in Hollywood history interrupted by an advert so irritating it can only destroy CK."

"Justin Bieber's CK advert proves that all publicity is good publicity - unless it features Justin Bieber."

"Did I ever warn you I'm a terrible bore?"

In response to Britney Spears posting a picture of herself:

"Christ, I've never seen you without makeup, Justin."









Embedded image permalink
BIEBER - MAKEUP FREE

"Ignorance is the one necessary virtue of civilised society: the less one knows, the more contently one pays one's taxes, smiles, and sleeps."

"I'm always alone on February 14th. Nobody has ever sent me a Valentine's Card without irony."

"Wilde told us the US was the first country to go from barbarism to decadence without first passing through the stage of civilisation."

"I would go further: Jerry Springer is the new Tom Paine, Lil Wayne the new Thomas Jefferson, and George W Bush the new Washngton."

"When George Bush told us he was 'a thinker' in his government, everybody wailed hysterically, apart from George. Even Laura didn't buy that."

"Pop music teaches one that life is meaningless, the future is bleak and there is no God. Justin Bieber forgot to mention that."

In response to the self centred, egotistical, one time film maker Marcus the Greek's tweet saying, "You are on fire tonight; funny, thought provoking, at ease... what's wrong?":

"Masturbation cessation therapy has its advantages. I broke both my hands in an accident with a vice. I stopped looking at Justin Bieber and began to think instead."

"@PapaSonsFilm You didn't ever realise I was actually MW, OM, and everyone else. I pretended to be a one dimensional twerp, for camp. It was an experiment. Just like life is."

"Yes, I am @Menippus too."


MARCUS THE FISH - FAILED TO REALISE

"There are three types of human being: the type that can add up, and the type that can't."

"I personally am in favour of multidimensional scales. The old 'zero' doesn't quite convey the intellectual squalor of some art."

"I find churning out witticisms on Twitter to be easier than passing stool."

"Wit erodes the heart and multiplies understanding."

"Hell: ending my days in an EMI care home with Vera Lynn and Tina Turner on the stereo, with a carer who dedicatedly looks after my health."

MORRISSEY IS HELPED DOWN THE STAIRS OF THE BELVEDERE CARE HOME IN ALDERLEY EDGE BY HIS DEDICATED CARER, ALAIN WHYTE, AND THEY HEAD TO THE COMMUNAL LOUNGE TO LISTEN TO TINA TURNER'S PRIVATE DANCER LP


I then asked Broken/Our Mozzer to describe heaven:

"Heaven is an EMI care home with T Rex and Morrissey solo on the stereo, no psychotropics and gin with meal."

In response to me asking if Tina Turner is still going:

"Even a Duracell would be tired by now."

"Sadness chases me like rush hour traffic."

"If you purchase an i-Phone, you are going to hell."

"If you're sad and confused and don't know where to turn, have a haircut."

"The older one gets the better one's clothes begin to look."


MORRISSEY BACKSTAGE WITH BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE


This morning I have awoken to find that the Broken twitter account has once again closed. Whilst it was open yesterday, I managed to have a quick scroll through, and realised that he had actually made appearances in The Arms on January 2nd. Here are the highlights:

"Love is that bridge between self-loathing and hatred of another."

"Satisfaction is the reason the divorce rate is so high."

"To know oneself is to hate oneself. To hate oneself is to accept one's self. To accept oneself is to learn to truly live."

And on that subject, isn't it about time Accept Yourself made it into the set? The lyrics are as/more meaningful today than 30+ years ago.



*Goes off singing* Anything is hard to find when you will not open your eyes.
