Day 1370 - Such a silly bug

The Morrissey tour continued on Saturday night in Atlanta, and it was another cracker. I haven't seen any footage that is relevant to MorrisseysWorld or the BRS, so I won't post the Youtube clips of the songs on here, but there was one rather amusing moment during the first encore song, First of the Gang To Die, where Morrissey noticed an insect (who we shall call Hector) in the middle of the stage. Moz sang to Hector the insect, before then sliding him onto a copy of the set list, and handing him over to Joseph Joannides, who presumably released him into the wilds of Atlanta.






I'm pretty sure that no BRS members are going to tonight's show in Durham, North Carolina, but I do believe that the BRS will be represented at one of the concerts later in the week, and an attempt WILL be made to hand Moz a blue rose on stage - the question is, will the attempt be successful, and if so, will Moz wear the rose? 'OO'


MORRISSEY WEARING THE BLUE ROSE - MAY 2014

In other news, Broken made a return to The Arms on Saturday, and asked, "MorrisseysWorld to return?" Seeing Broken appear, and his mention of MW, led me to ask him if I were dreaming, to which he replied, "Dreams comfort the comfortable and chide the poor." Broken then started laying into the likes of Eamonn Holmes and Hilary Clinton, whilst also posting pictures and videos of Bieber - it was just like the good old days! Broken also posted Go West by the Pet Shop Boys , King by Years & Years and A Change Of Heart by Bernard Butler.

I mentioned to Broken that I am really enjoying reading Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho (it really is one of the best books that I have ever read, and should be compulsory reading for all adolescents), and asked Broken if he had read it. He replied, "One should never read anything one is expected to have read". He was of course just being smart - of course he's read it!

Other Broken highlights included, "When life finally begins, you realise it's already over", "David Cameron continues the rewarmed Blairism and Euro-fawning", "Religion poisons love, strangles compassion and extends existence. Three good reasons to say no to religion" and "UKIP will rescue us from global mcdonnaenriqueIKEASjustinbankerPLC" !!

Broken signed off with, "God loves you. But I don't."

And finally Esther, and finally Cyril, the Twit Arms resident drunk (every bar needs one), Manc lad, asked Mademoiselle Fifi if she recommended that he visit Rio this autumn. He also pondered on whether he should wear speedos or shorts. Fifi replied, "Rio is a good choice Lad. I cannot say whether you should go for shorts or speedos but I think I know why you're asking." Hmm.

*Goes off singing* Manc's going to Rio, and he's dancing on the sand *Changes song* Hector was the first of the bugs to join the Moz band.... I'll get my coat!

Day 1377 - Ignored and avoided

I have spent the last week zig zagging across the UK visiting universities and watching cricket matches - I have hardly had time to draw breath, let alone take in the footage of the four Morrissey concerts that have taken place.

STAIRCASE AT BATH UNIVERSI...TAY

The only MorrisseysWorld/BRS related happening that I am aware of from the latest four concerts, is President Kyle's stage invasion in Philadelphia on Saturday, but he didn't invade with a blue rose - although he did apparently have a rose at the concert, which was ignored and avoided by Morrissey.

My twatter timeline shows me that Astra made a return to The Arms yesterday, having first stopped off at the dreadful FollowingThePessoas blog thing to leave some comments. The author of FTP has been getting very excited about some anonymous comments that have been left on his site, which he believes are from Morrissey; which is all rather ironic, because the FTP author has been stating for months that he doesn't believe that it is the real Morrissey that we deluded dreary dozen are interacting with - This FTP guy needs to make up his mind!

The fact that Astra has commented on the awful FTP blog (the parodies on there are utterly cringeworthy) makes me feel that perhaps some/all of the anonymous comments in question may actually be something to do with Morrissey, but as to why M would leave comment on such a pitiful site is beyond me.

Astra's visit to The Arms saw her play two songs; La Chasse by BB (Bardot not Boorer) and Apprends Le Moi by Françoise, and also post a picture:

Broken has also been in The Arms on a couple of occasions, posting semi-naked photos of the famous and not so famous - Bieber included, of course.

And finally, despite my very hectic week, I managed to find time to read Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho. It is without doubt one of the best books that I have ever read, and my thanks go to Fifi for leading me to it. I was surprised by the ending, as it was not what I had expected to happen, but I won't spoil it for anyone who plans to read it......hold on, WHY am I writing as though I still have an audience? - NOBODY reads this blog anymore! (Hit counts are down to pitiful levels - it's as though I no longer exist!)

Back to the cricket.

Day 1386 - Through the Barricades to Neverland

Whilst I have been away on the beautiful island of Jersey playing cricket, Morrissey has continued with his US tour, and BRS members have continued to take him blue roses.

Here is Jesse Moz Fiend's account of her trip to see The Mozziah at New York's Ma
dison Square Gardens last Saturday:

I apologize for not writing this sooner, but exhaustion due to all the emotions involved with seeing Morrissey again after two and a half years kept me hibrinating all day Sunday. It was practically daybreak by the time I arrived home and I had been awake for almost twenty-four hours by then and so much had occurred to drain me in that time. But anyway, let me get to it. 

I won't get into details that you can read elsewhere but only the highlights of my personal experiences.

Morrissey at Madison Square Garden was nothing less than a religious experience for me. I am in awe of him and his talent each and every time I am lucky enough to see him live. The show was absolute perfection and I enjoyed every second. His voice was flawless and full of emotion. I sung my heart out along with others of all types who loved each and every song, the new as well as the old. The crowd near me was mellow yet passionate. The venue was pretty filled up except for the upper regions. I only wish I was seeing him again this tour. I am in love with him. What else can I say? If anyone has any specific questions I will be happy to answer.

Now, if I may turn back the clock for a minute, I'll start at the beginning, where I probably should have begun in the first place.

I had awoke up at 6 am and queued all day. I was number twenty five on The List. I chatted with some nice, very young Morrissey fans. It began to rain in the mid afternoon. I had my blue roses with me but they were tucked safely away, wrapped in plastic bags. 



Doors finally opened and eventually I made it to the barricade. Obviously I prefer when there isn't one period, but this one was very far from the stage and the stage was very high. As I was off to the right side, I had some speakers in front of me that I planned to jump on during the encore and then on to the stage, but when it came time to try, it was an impossible fete. Alf was correct when he said I would "NEVER" make it to the stage. As I was being pummeled by five security beasts from MSG, I attempted to throw the roses on stage, but they fell short. (Thank you to Father Brian for helping me over the barricade.) 

The security was scary. One of them grabbed me painfully around my breasts while one had me in a headlock while another patted me down looking for weapons. I thought they were going to escort me out of the venue or have me arrested, but they let me back in GA at the back just in time to see Moz ripping off his shirt. Sigh. 

I was so amped up after the show that as soon as I got my merch, I ran outside in search of a cab. In my emotional frenzy, I decided to go to the hotel where Moz was staying and try to meet him. There was a storm going on meanwhile, as rain and wind and cold swept through the city streets. Not being able to get a taxi since everyone else was trying too, I took the subway. I arrived at the hotel and waited, after having a quick glass of red wine at the bar across the street.

Some time went by before I recognized a familiar, beautiful man getting out of a black vehicle. I walked towards Morrissey and yelled his name. He looked my way and seemed to be about to approach me but then the security buffoon who was with Moz angrily told me to "Back up!" and Morrissey headed for the door to the hotel. Desperately, not wanting to miss my opportunity to meet my idol as he swiftly passed me by, I said "Morrissey, please, I tried to get on stage..." when before I could finish my sentence, Morrissey dramatically pulled his jacket around himself signaling that it was probably too wet and cold to stop and then said to me the words "NEVER".

Posted by Moz Fiend to Following The Mozziah at 29 June 2015 at 07:30




Yesterday was the turn of HeatherCat to take Moz a rose. Apparently Heather was also unsuccessful in getting it to Morrissey, but hopefully she will write a few words for FTM letting us know her story. One thing is for sure, Morrissey is aware of both Moz Fiend's and Heather's attempts to get a rose to him, and the BRS tumblr has been updated with pictures of both roses.


HEATHERCAT'S ROSE IN CINCINATI

In other news, Astra has posted a few comments on FTM, and they are always worth sharing:

June 23:
I am a honeybee. I flit and I drift. Like a gaze that lingers. A moment of haze. Come hither. Come closer. Look at me closely. Are you paying attention? Too slow now. Don't touch me. Won't catch me. You're circling. I've left now. My silhouette gone. I've already strayed.

Midnight belongs to lovers. But I'm standing here, now. Do you think you can see me? Do you think you can touch me? Do you know how to move me? Do you know how to want me? Are you following my game?

Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen. Look into the fire of my eyes. Are you listening?

Hypnotic will always be the name of my sway.

June 29:
Francoise,

My eyes rest on your neck. I stop. And then your shoulders steal me away. For always.All time ends. Everything ends.
Everything stops but you.And loving you, I will never grow old.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9d5_ALtiTc

June 29:
Moz Fiend,

Everything is a coincidence.

I am nothing but your figment. A filament. A feather. You can call me anything you want.
Fathom me deeper. Plunder me harder.
Ask me to dance. Too late now. It's over.
I never happened.

But I am still here.

'At the end of the line is the sound of my voice. And words that I can't, that I never shall say'. That was Francoise.

I am evasion. I am invasion. I am trepidation. I am all of everyone's tomorrows.

And I am the always, that no one ever will find.

I'm glad you enjoyed your evening, kitten.

ASTRA

June 29:
Follow me to end of the world. I swirl in nothing but beauty and heartbreak. I bring it with me. It's there. Do you want it? I can pull you down with me. I'll drown you in things you never even knew existed. When we hit bottom, I'll incapacitate you. And then I'll make you soar. This is the only way I know.





I'm not sure when the next blue rose will be taken for Morrissey - I would guess that it will be Vulgar Angie in Salt Lake City in mid July, but as to whether Morrissey accepts her rose or not is irrelevant. BRS members take blue roses to concerts because they want to - because we must - but there must be no expectation and no disappointment. If Morrissey one day decides to lean into the crowd to take one, then he does. If he doesn't, then he doesn't. If someone manages to get on stage with a rose, then all well and good, but if Morrissey then blanks that person rather than accept the rose, then so be it. There are no rules to this, and again I must stress, NO expectation and NO disappointment - this is Morrissey!

Things are certainly different on this latest tour, and gone is my desperate need to try and let Morrissey fans know about the BRS. If people stumble upon us or our story, then all well and good, but if not, it really doesn't matter. Why should we care? We know what we've got, and whether others choose to embrace it or not is neither here nor there. They don't know how lucky we are, but we do.

Day 1392 - (Blue) Rose Garden

The past week has once again been wall to wall (or rather boundary to boundary) cricket for me, with the odd universi-tay visit thrown in. My job as curator of FTM has had to take a back seat, but I am doing my best to keep an eye on happenings in Moz World.

Despite my lack of visits to the Twitterdilly Arms, I noticed that our old friend, Broken paid a number of visits in the past seven days, but I wasn't quick enough to copy down any of his musings. He did of course post a few pictures of semi-naked men, but we haven't yet has his reaction to the new fully nude Bieber picture that has emerged on the world wide web!

He's a cheeky boy: Justin Bieber bared his bottom as he stripped naked for an Instagram photo on Monday

Biebs posted the picture himself, with the caption 'Look!'. Maybe I should post a nude picture of me at a Moz concert with the caption 'L'OO'K!'

With the exception of JB's arse, the biggest items of news this week have been A) Morrissey will be playing dates at Hammersmith Apollo in London this September - which was mentioned on Day 1104 of FTM as being on a certain somebody's 'Wilde Wish List' - and B) Morrissey giving a HUGE nod to the BRS in Nashville by singing (I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden.

HAMMERSMITH APOLLO (FORMERLY ODEON... AND WHERE BOWIE KILLED OFF ZIGGY) - I'LL BE THERE IN SEPTEMBER

The naysayers have, of course, all put down the singing of Rose Garden as being a nod to the fact that Moz was in Nashville, but of all the country songs in all the world, why did he sing that particular one? If Moz were to keep the song in the set for his next concert in Detroit, would the naysayers admit that they were wrong? No, of course not, they would find another excuse. When someone mentioned on Solow about Rose Garden being a nod to the BRS, their chief honcho, Uncle Sweaty, gave the intelligent response of, "Go fuck yourself". "You don't want to believe, you are sleeping".... still!

A week ago today, BRS member HeatherCat attended a concert in Cincinnati. Here is her account of the night:

Cincinnati was a spectacular show, with an outstanding setlist and a wonderful venue. Although the tour seemed to be followed by an actual black cloud (it was a rainy night, at least the third one in a row for the concerts I believe), there was no sign of a figurative black cloud in sight, with Moz in strong voice and impressive form. Whenever I see Morrissey live, I'm swept away by the intense passion and artistry conveyed through each and every song, and last night I was fortunate enough to be right up against the stage and experiencing everything as up close as possible.

Being so close, I was hoping that an opportunity for a handshake might present itself (I really had no expectation that he'd take my rose), but alas, he ignored the area I was in all evening, favoring the far sides of the stage for handshakes (I was closer to the center). The accessibility of the stage offered a perfect opportunity for invading, but after witnessing the fate of those who tried it (especially the poor woman next to me who was handled ridiculously roughly by security), I couldn't bring myself to do it. I understand that the security guys have a job to do, but why, oh why, do they have to be so unnecessarily rough with fans who just want a hug?

So many songs in the set were highlights for me, they're too numerous to mention, although I was thrilled to hear What She Said, which was a perfect encore. Other high points of the evening were the Trouble intro (recently used for Smiler) leading into Yes, I Am Blind, and Moz dedicating Kiss Me a Lot to Doris Day, a native of Cincinnati. The only disappointment of the evening was the absence of a shirt toss. Although the crowd seemed pretty low key from my perspective, and didn't have the palpable energy that I've experienced at other concerts (namely Nashville and Chicago), all in all it was a fantastic and most memorable evening. I look forward to Chicago next week (I probably won't bring a blue rose because it wouldn't survive the travel conditions to get there, but I do hope to find a rose of another color before the show). I feel so fortunate to live in the right time and place to have these opportunities to see Moz in concert - definitely memories of a lifetime.




That's all for now, so I shall once again head back to a cricket pitch; although I shouldn't really, as I've buggered my knee, but I shall do my best to ignore the pain, and bat on.... literally.

The Moz tour has had a few days rest, but tomorrow they hit Detroit, and that masonic temple that I got excited about when the tour was announced in April. It really is the perfect place to get on stage with a blue rose, but alas, none for the BRS are going! I still think that there will be something MW related for us, so I call on MorrisseysWorlders to keep 'em peeled - L'OO'K!

I have my ticket for Hammersmith!

In other news, there has been no sign of any M pessoas in the ole Twit Arms as far as I am aware, although in fairness, I am hardly ever there these days.

The concert in the Masonic Temple in Detroit had Morrissey repeating the hand sign that he gave right at the end of the London O2 concert - my thanks to the Orange Mechanique (aka Chuck) for pointing this out on her new blogsite, The World Of Morrissey, which is apparently the new home of the Deluded Dozen!



HeatherCat attended last night's concert in Chicago, but was unable to get anywhere near the stage with her blue rose. Morrissey apparently made reference to 'Rose Garden' during his between song banter, but didn't sing it again. And on the subject of Rose Garden, Lynn Anderson (@LynnAshow) has tweeted about a possible duet, although rather unfortunately, Lynn seems to think that Morrissey's twitter account is @morrisseysolo - ouch! Here is her tweet from 3 days ago:

"Could a @morrisseysolo duet be in the works? Like and retweet this video from @TheRyman if you think we should." (To date there have been 10 retweets, 0 likes (as twitter don't have likes) and 10 favourites).

The next Morrissey concert is scheduled for Bloomington tomorrow night, but I don't think there will be any more BRS members attending a concert until Vulgar Angie goes to Salt Lake City on the 18th. I would dearly have loved to have been able to attend Salt Lake City, or  Red Rocks on the 16th for that matter, but c'est la vie.

And finally, the BRS tumblr site recently added a picture of Morrissey being handed a yellow rose. It apparently happened in Washington DC on June 16th.

Day 1400 - Cat's Eyes

Astra has returned to both the Twitterdilly Arms and FTM.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, Astra left a couple of comments on my last blog entry, complaining of ripped fishnets and cobwebs. She also left a song for fancy123, Early In The Morning by Hoodoo Man Blues, whilst stating that she doesn't usually listen to any blues.



Astra also left a song for me, Time Is On My Side by Irma Thomas:


Astra returned to FTM later in the day to leave a gift for the whole BRS, a poem, which was greatly appreciated by the few who remain in this cobweb strewn hole. The poem was left untitled, but I have decided to call it Cat's Eyes:

Cat's Eyes by Astra

Will you dance upon my grave?
Will you jump?
How high?

Cat's eyes. Nine lives. Never try.
Stand stock-still. And above all, above all,
Above all
Never, ever let them see you cry

Windless. Starless. Careless.

Care MORE

Now I'm here
I'm on the floor
Here to stay
I lay my head

But I'll be gone before you

And then these words I said
We'll look again one day
And think
How very strange

But then, another moment gone, and soon
We move ahead

Will you dance upon my grave?
Will you jump?
How high?

Cat's eyes. Nine lives.
But never let them see you cry

Face serene, immobile
Skin like milk
And alabaster
But underneath kohled lids
And silent breaths

Suffocating, dreams

Eyes full of heaviness
Thoughts full of lead
Pulling me
Like a weight to the bottom of the ocean

And then
Like a weight
To the bottom of the ocean

I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone

Will you dance upon my grave?
Will you jump?
How high?

Close your eyes now, sleepyhead
A lullabyed goodbye

Cat's eyes. Nine lives.

But I'll be gone before you

Astra's first visit to The Arms in three weeks came about on Monday, with a series of Bieber pictures being posted, followed by Bardot pictures.

Astra also posted these words:

"If it isn't surreal, it isn't real. If it isn't hard, it doesn't hurt. If it isn't beautiful, do you know which way to go?"

"Entire devotion to an operatic life. Devotion to love. Burning eyes. This is Act III."

"Fathom my depths. Plunder my soul. Existence is only a game."

"If it's not VISCERAL, grab it as hard as you can And throw it back"

And when I thanked Astra for her poem and told her that she should write for a living, she replied:

"For a living? Mainlining as a practicing troublemaker. Sideline in legs. And I know how to keep a bed warm. My holy trinity."


Astra has also been spotted at the new 'official' home of the Deluded Dozen (who incidentally are listed as being: GOB, Chuck, Marcus, MTearfull (no idea who this is!), Jaz, Kerry Action, Hoaresly Cry, comrade harps, Our Mozzer (really?), Kirky, LizzyCat, The FTP Guy (Neville?) and Moz Fiend. There is no sign of those who have taken blue roses to concerts, such as; myself, Heather, EARS, Father Brian, President Kyle, VP Vulgar Angie or Manc Lad, so I guess this DD group must be some sort of non active splinter group - although Jaz, harps and Moz Fiend are in there, and they HAVE taken roses to concerts, so God only knows what this new site is all about. I guess Chuck set it up as a place for the likes of GOB and Lizzy to go, so that they can still be involved in the whole phenomenal MorrisseysWorld story following their ban from the BRS by Broken. An alternative to FTM isn't a bad thing, especially as I'm not around as much as I used to be, which means Chuck & Co may spot things that I miss...... I wonder what ever happened to the 'other' BRS group that formed last year? And what happened to that ridiculous Blue Knicker Society? There has certainly been some comings and goings in the past 4 years! Anyway, I can't linger any longer inside these brackets, I am in the middle of a sentence about Astra, so let it continue.....),The World Of Morrissey, yesterday leaving the following piece:

"Have you ever caught God by his toe?
 Do you know what it means?
 How it feels?
 If you ever catch God by a toe
 Hold on tight
 And don't let go"

Chuck's World Of Morrissey site has published another picture of Moz making a hand gesture at the concert in the Masonic Temple, which matches the sign shown on the MW blog:






Meanwhile, Morrissey has played two more concerts since my last blog entry, but I don't believe there have been any further MW references, and no blue roses have been reported.

Next stop Red Rocks, but again, no roses are expected. 67 sleeps 'til Hammersmith.

Day 1401 - The Cockerel still sings - More from Astra

July 16, 2015, 5:43 am

Astra has once again paid a visit to The Arms, and also posted another comment on FTM. Here is the FTM comment from yesterday:

Oh là là. The only part of my comment on Orange's blog yesterday that should have been taken completely seriously - was the part about my hair. (Ed - I didn't bother reporting the 'hair' bit on my blog of yesterday, as I deemed it unimportant, but as it has now been mentioned, I had best report it after all. At the end of the 'Caught God by his toe' piece, Astra wrote on the World of Moz blog, "How's your pith today, Orange? How's the fruit bowl? And most importantly of all of course, how does my hair look?")

I left comments on all three blogs yesterday. I thought I'd make the rounds to see who still has a pulse. The final count wasn't promising. Then it became mildly exhausting and I gave up when I began to feel the pulsating heat from the 1D fan frenzy through the ether at the news of Louis Tomlinson's baby.

Thank God JB is still single, and just renting Learjets in his spare time. And looking G O R G E O U S. Oh là là indeed.
My puppy dog eyes, come hither.
Come faster. I'm smitten. Heart quickens.

I'm with manclad, in loving my own photos of Brigitte. The sweet little duck on her shoulder was just too delicious for words, and it made me want to touch them both. I have a light touch, a nice grasp, and very nimble fingers. It could have all been so perfect. A peck on the cheek, and a peek at her cheeks. But I really will be making a concerted effort to stick with what I love best from now on. Which is a four letter word. Which starts with an 'L' and which ends in an 'S'.

Red Rocks on the mind.

Embedded image permalink

Astra's reference to leaving comments on all three blogs, includes a comment left on the forgotten (and irrelevant) blog, Following The Pessoas, which I obviously hadn't seen. Here it is:

Glaring headlights chasing, like lascivious eyes. Blinding, bright, shining, obfuscating. Hiding unspoken truths. Protecting things you will never be able to unlearn again. Sweet smiles belie a world of thoughts, words swirl like silent cyclones, but the mouth issues no utterances. Outside, a cockerel sings. Inside, a henpecked husband is hounded. Small eyes, big ears. Eyes dart. Left right, left right, like time that so easily fleets. A girl walks up a hill one day. With arm shyly behind her, hugging herself from behind, the arm crosses her back and her hand grips her other elbow. Don't listen, don't speak, don't agree to anything he says, don't even look up. Some small talk about telephones. The rest not to be repeated. Stare at someone else's feet. In the summer heat, everyone can do whatever they wish. Nobody cares. Hair on their toes, just look at the hair on their toes. Nothing else is happening. The sun is still shining. The cockerel still sings. The husband will continue to be hounded and henpecked, with the fastidiousness of a favourite clock. The cogs in our wheels turn, forward or backward, that is always the choice. Through the sheer embroidered muslin blouse, the shadowed curve of a slender body.

And then?

Astra then added:

Is this the looking-glass, upside down? Where's Alice? And what time is it? Do you know the sound of a sitar? I know everything. But I will never know the taste of sighs.

Astra's visit to The Arms was used to post Bieber & BB pictures.






Embedded image permalink

Astra's sign off from yesterday was, "Red Rocks on the mind", which is happening tonight. I would have really loved to have been able to go to this concert; it is a wonderful looking Amphitheatre, which in 1964 hosted The Beatles, and was of course where U2 recorded Under a Blood Red Sky. Hopefully there will be plenty of Youtube footage. And after Red Rocks, comes The Depot in Salt Lake City on Saturday night, where BRS members Vulgar Angie & Jaz will once again do what MORRISSEY ASKED US MORRISSEYSWORLDERS TO DO - take a blue rose. Angie hopes to be able to deliver her rose on stage - here is her comment left on FTM earlier today:

I shall attempt the stage invasion with the blue rose
If roses are not allowed in the venue
I will find a way to smuggle it in!!!!
Just like I did at Hollywood high

There are those in life who do, and those in life who don't. There are victims and life adventurers. There are those who fully embrace Morrissey's Blue Rose Society and those who don't.
Will Angie succeed? We shall see, but even if she doesn't, she will at least have tried - because we must.



THE 1200 CAPACITY DEPOT IN SALT LAKE CITY, WHERE ON SATURDAY VULGAR ANGIE & JAZ WILL TAKE BLUE ROSES FOR MORRISSEY - JUST AS HE ASKED

That is all for today. I shall now go and spend the next 24 hours trying to work out what it could possibly be that Astra "loves best", and intends to "stick with" - loss? logs? lads? lags? laps? lats? lies? loos?

The rose was handed to Moz by long time MorrisseysWorlder, Jaz, whilst the BlueRoseSociety Vice President, Vulgar Angie also offered a rose. We await a full account of events from both Jaz and Angie, but an MW 'O' was also thrown in for good measure.

Day 1405 - Slamming on the Lid

Following Our Mozzer's return on Friday evening - with the promise of a new parody - and Morrissey's acceptance of Jaz's blue rose on Saturday night, the members of the BRS have been on an absolute high, but now it is time to come back down to earth. The following message has been left scrawled on the toilet walls in The Twitterdilly Arms:

"All that Bieber nonsense is becoming highly irritating. I find it disrespectful. You are being manipulated by the writers of MW who think it's very funny to see you all acting like headless puppets. Just for a new 'parody'? Are you really that desperate? Those parodies are as interesting as the people who write them.

On stage, Morrissey occasionally accepts letters, presents, records, white roses, red roses, blue roses. Morrissey does not support blue roses more than he supports letter writers, record makers or any particular colour of flower."

I won't state who wrote the above words - those who read this blog of mine regularly will know. It would appear that the lid of our BRS tin of enthusiasm has been firmly slammed back on - which is only right. It is VERY important that the BRS isn't seen as a group of Morrissey fans who are regarded as 'special' - can you imagine the resentment? Morrissey would never want his fans to feel alienated, so it is time for a quiet step back - OR, is the above statement actually saying that Morrissey will now accept MORE blue roses, as they are no different to him accepting other gifts? Genius.



So, will we get the promised parody, or were we indeed being played with? I guess we will just have to wait and see. FTM will now disappear, and will only return if one of the following occurs:

A) A new MW parody appears
B) Morrissey accepts a FIFTH blue rose
C) Morrissey wears a Bieber t-shirt
D) There is no D

I shall sign off by publishing Jaz's concert review of The Depot concert (as found on her blogsite, Lie Down in the Weeds) and Vulgar Angie's videos:


"Last night, was by definition perfection. Camping out the night before was swell except for the 5AM chilly wake up call and an unexpected shower from nearby sprinklers. We passed the time chatting and listening to Selena. We took breaks inbetween the hours for rest and refreshments.
Around 6 pm, Angie and I were numbers 4 &5 in queue, we pinned our blue rose boutonnieres to ourselves and waited around with our long stemmed roses. Security warned us that we couldn't take all the roses and offered to put them on the bus for us so we wrote our names on two of them and handed them over. Keeping the other two but discarding the cellophane wrapping. I like a little foliage on my roses so I ran my thumbnail over the baby thorns to remove them and made sure there were absolutely no sharp points.
Around 6:45 the queue was around The corner and I felt eyes on our roses, I also saw a few guys with white roses. Doors opened and we rushed through the pat down, the wrist stamp, and clambered up the stairs not stopping til we had our hands firmly on the rail, which we did. We stood between Boz and Moz and waited for the film clips to begin. My favorites were the flamenco dancer, Charles Aznavour, and lypsinka which I love to recite word for word "Me, Me, Me and if you don't like it you can just clear out now!"

Then the lights went low and Klaus Niomi's Wayward Sister annouced Morrisseys' arrival to the the stage. The crowd roared and Moz declared "Once a Panther always a Panther" then began with Suedehead. Our roses held high as Alma matters began and Morrissey walked over to Angie and I, we reached out and I felt him grab my hand for what felt like the longest 5 seconds of my measly little life. He took my rose, my hand and my heart. *sigh* The rose made it to his back pocket along with a bunch of yellow flowers that he took afterwards. 

There were many "O" signs throughout. It amuses me that Angies picture now graces the SLC thread on Solow. During Now my heart is full I placed my hand into the left side of my blouse. (Do you guys remember that sign?) Then, during I will see you in far off places, at the line "messing around and pulling faces" I made the double 'OO' around myeyes, which I'm sure he saw. 
Meat is murder is always very moving and the only time I took my eyes off of Morrissey. I'm meatless already but I'm thinking of giving up dairy, the process of which is just horrifying, There is no excuse. That was followed by EDILS and TQID for encore. The shirt (which had blue stripes) rip was immaculate and I felt that he tossed it right in our direction and we grabbed with our hands and held on with all our being. After a short scuffle the shirt was divided up and Angie got a sleeve, I got a bit of collar and shoulder. My poor boutonniere was lost though I had planned on saving the little darling but c'est la vie.

Afterwards, the camping gang met up to have elated conversations and exchange pictures, Angie and I received many congratulations on our having delivered a blue rose. I asked if perhaps they could see we weren't crazy and there really was something about blue roses that was special. I eagerly asked the fan I talked to the night before about what she thought and she said she saw the signs. I only wish now that she or anyone else I talked to would try to comment and participate if they are willing. Most of them have tickets for San Diego, unfortunately, I do not. It is my wish that the regular irregulars will finally wake up and not be so begruding of what they don't care to understand.Now, I feel as though I could ascend into the clouds with wings of happiness."












The BRS tumblr has been updated to include the new photos of Moz with the blue rose.... but please remember, Morrissey does not support blue roses more than he supports letter writers, record makers or any particular colour of flower..... that doesn't of course mean that Morrissey doesn't like blue roses, in fact the evidence would suggest that he loves them.

Day 1412 - Blindly Loved

Morrissey's US tour has come to and end (although the band are in California for three dates at the end of August), with the climax coming on Saturday in San Jose - and there were yet MORE 'coincidences' for us MorrisseysWorlders', although to the average man in the street - or Mozzer fan outside The Twitterdilly Arms - the 'coincidences' will have gone completely unnoticed.

Last Friday, longtime MorrisseysWorlder and giver of the blue rose in Salt Lake City, Jaz, tweeted the following lyrics from the song Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye:

"I don't want to be judged anymore. I don't want to be judged, I would sooner be loved. I would sooner be just blindly loved"

On Saturday night in San Jose, before launching into Kiss Me A Lot, Morrissey rather incredibly sang these words a cappella :

"You see, I don't want to be judged anymore, I would sooner be blindly loved."



As coincidences go, this one is HUGE. Of all the Moz lyrics, on all the twitter feeds, in all the world, he chooses one posted by a MorrisseysWorlder who just so happens to be the only person he has accepted a blue rose from in 2015. You couldn't make this up!

MORRISSEY ACCEPTING JAZ'S BLUE ROSE IN SALT LAKE CITY - JULY 18TH

Of course the previous two blue roses that Morrissey accepted (Hollywood High 2013 and Santa Ana 2014) had been given to him by Vulgar Angie's young friend, Devan, and who just so happened to be invited up onto the stage at San Jose for the  encore? Yep, Devan!



And on the subject of Devan, or actually Devon to be precise, Morrissey has announced that he will be playing a concert in Plymouth on September 15th.
Before the official announcement had been made, Mademoiselle Fifi posted a video on Twitter of I Know It's Over (live in Plymouth 2011). When the official announcement came, I took to Twitter to inform Fifi that she must be a soothsayer. Fifi replied, "I'll go for coincidence. I can hardly see my own hand without glasses, how could I see the future?"






I have subsequently been informed by Orange Chuck that the Plymouth concert had already been announced by Gigs & Tours before Fifi tweeted her song, so it would appear that it was neither a coincidence nor a sooth say; merely some old French bird in The Twit Arms playing the jukebox!


However, there is a couple of other'coincidences' to mention before I sign off, and they both centre around Kerry 'The Spirit' Messenger (formerly Kerry 'Action' Richards). Kerry has written on the splinter group blog, The World of Moz, that on July 21st she was in the long forgotten MW Chatroom and allegedly got into a conversation with Our Mozzer, who asked her (along with Orange Chuck and Marianne Tearful (@sadglamour)) which shirt he should wear that night. Kerry asked for the shiny one that Morrissey wore on the Fallon show, and although Morrissey didn't subsequently wear that particular shirt on the night of July 21st, he  DID wear it for the final concert in San Jose on Saturday.
The splinter group quite often come up with some pretty flimsy coincidences, but to me, this one has substance.


SAN JOSE


FALLON SHOW

The other 'Kerry coincidence' involves the TTY announcement about the Plymouth concert. In the announcement, it states that Plymouth Pavilions has a capacity of 3400. The official capacity is 4000, and NOWHERE does it state that it is 3400. Now, most people would consider this a mistake on TTY's part, but Morrissey doesn't usually bother stating a capacity when announcing a concert, so why bother this time - especially when he then gets it wrong! The reason is, it is yet ANOTHER sign. Kerry often uses the numbers 3 and 4 when talking to Astra on Twitter. It would appear that Morrissey has used these two numbers and followed them with an '00'. It would appear that Moz seems to like Kerry - perhaps he admires her spirit.... drinking!

There is one other possible coincidence to report. According to Marianne Tearful, at the concert in Seattle, Morrissey was offered some gladioli, but he told the person offering them, "I can't accept these". As Morrissey has recently accepted other flowers, other than roses, I personally don't think that this is a reference to our little gang, and is more likely a reference to the fact that Morrissey no longer accepts gladioli, but you never know.

Moving on from coincidences, apart from the chatroom, the only other part of the original MorrisseysWorld blogsite that still remains is the 'active board', but the only person who seems to use it is Manc lad, who has religiously kept the tour dates and set lists going. It is a shame that this part of the MW blog never took off, but I guess with the main blog gone, it didn't stand a chance.

MANC LAD - ACTIVE

So with the tour now over, we turn our attentions back to the promised parody piece, that is supposedly going to be written by Our Mozzer, Broken, Russell & Mikey B. The outcome of the recent vote has resulted in MorrisseysWorlders wanting to see OM, Broken, Boz and Astra featured in the parody, although Mam was also a popular choice, coming in 5th. Surely the parody will contain a reference to the fact that there were NO cancellations on this US tour, which would suggest OM is losing his 'unique otherness'.

I meanwhile have arrived in London for a few days, which I will spend watching some cricket at Lords, watching Rustle Brand at the National Theatre, and hopefully visiting Vinyl Boutique.... if it's open!








Embedded image permalink

And finally, did I mention that Morrissey announced in Seattle that he was going to sing What Difference Does It Make?? Well he was just teasing, and instead he sang Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before. What Difference remains one of my all time favourite Moz songs, and I dearly hope that one day Morrissey actually will sing it live, although from what he told me in that 'fake' interview of 2012, I guess it is unlikely.

Right, I am off to buy a hat to wear to the cricket.

*Goes off singing* All men have secrets and here is mine, so let it be known, for we have been through hell and high tide

Day 1415 - Pathetically yours

As I continue my short stay in London; which yesterday included PLAYING cricket at Lords - I was only supposed to be watching, but was invited to play, thus making an old man (not the famous old man of Lords) VERY happy - Morrissey has been travelling and writing.

There have been a number of TTY entries from Moz, which include announcements of European dates in the Autumn - there are going to be 14 in total, including four in England.... is England still in Europe? Does anyone care?
The other TTY entries are about Morrissey being offered FOUR awards (three for giving a voice to the voiceless and one for his contribution to music), being groped at San Francisco airport, plus an insightful, amusing, and poignant update on the current state of Morrissey's heart and mind.



In the TTY update on the state of Morrissey's heart and mind; which incidentally are apparently A) Full and B) "if permissible!", happy - Morrissey lists his favourite nights of the US tour, which include Salt Lake City at No.1: where Jaz gave him a blue rose, Seattle at No.2: where Moz refused gladioli saying, "sorry, I can't accept these, and San Jose at No. 3: where Morrissey quoted Jaz's Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye tweet.

MORRISSEY WEARING JAZ'S BLUE ROSE IN SALT LAKE CITY

Also in that latest TTY update, Morrissey takes the opportunity to speak out against an abhorrent murder of a lion called Cecil, who was shot for fun by a dentist from Minnesota called Walter Palmer. Rather unbelievably, Palmer shot Cecil with a bow and arrow and just left him to die a long agonising death.


CECIL - A DEATH FOR NO REASON


The TTY piece also sees Morrissey stating that things are currently like the "glory days of 1991/92" and adds that, "it is partly public support in response to World peace is none of your business being axed in its prime by Steve Barnett - that cheap model of Humpty Dumpty". You do have to smile at old Mozzer.

HUMPTY DUMPTY

Meanwhile, in MorrisseysWorld, 'R' has confirmed that a new parody IS currently in production:

I can confirm a new parody piece is currently being written.

Following the recent MW poll, the parody will star: Our Mozzer, Broken, Boz Boorer and Astraea. Furthermore there will be guest appearances from Log Lady and one mystery guest star.

'R'

Posted by Morrissey to Following The Mozziah at 28 July 2015 at 16:52


'R' is of course Our Mozzer's secretary, and some MorrisseysWorlders have previously mused as to whether or not 'R' is Russell Brand.
Last night, I went and watched Brand perform a stand-up show at the National Theatre. I had lost a lot of respect for Gristle following his ridiculous backing of Ed Miliband at the General Rejection in May, but last night RB returned to what he does best, making people laugh, and he really was wonderfully hilarious. My review can be read on my Call Out the Instigator blog, which I created especially for Brand's revolution, which he announced on May 4th - this is my first entry on the blog since May 8th, when the revolution ended!

RUSSELL ON STAGE LAST NIGHT AT THE NATIONAL THEATRE IN LONDON

And now, I shall leave you with some wonderfully written words from Astra, which were posted on FTM at 5am this morning. There are a few home truths for us all:

Me Me Me culture, making us all sick. Putrefying us, from the inside out. I see it, even here. Agree with me, because you think you should. Disagree with me, because you think it makes you sound intelligent, and because you simply like the sound of your own voice. Which is worse? Who can say. I'll leave that to you to ponder.

Me Me Me culture, from all the Me Me Mes of the world, who have nothing nothing nothing to contribute. I am surrounded by a sea of vapidness, out of which I no longer know how to swim. A swirling vortex. A maelstrom of misery. An undertow that never stops pulling. A riptide of superficiality. Of smiles. Of empty eyes. Of hollow minds. And of sly lies.

I can smile and make you laugh until the cows come home. And then for three different lifetimes more. But why should I? It's not my job to entertain you. Start looking within. And if you don't know how to, learn.

Me Me Me culture, with no abatement. When Sinéad O'Connor blasted Rolling Stone for putting Kim Kartrashian's bicycle pump inflated... inflatables, on the cover, they say it went viral. But did no one bother to tell you? It didn't go viral because of what she said, or because Sinéad said it, or even because someone voiced their indignation. It went viral because someone, anyone, had mentioned Kim K again at all. Do you know who Kim K is? Do I know? Do I care? NO. A sex tape made public? If her knowledge of the bedroom is as dire as her opinion is of what makes a body beautiful, then that is what is called a state of dire of neither probable, nor possible return. And like a CIA, red-flagged, keyword hotlist of all that is empty and vacuous, careful what you say. Careful what you wish for. And careful what you only pretend that you don't want. Because you've already been given it all.



Your revulsion is nothing but a front. You breathe this throwaway ongoing gaggle of nobody's nothing, of everyman's orgueil. You feed off it. You need it. There is nothing ironic in what I see. You are collectively as transparent as white gauze, and thinner than the thinnest film.

Tomorrow isn't that interesting, when you can already see straight through to the other side.

Me Me Me culture, and cunt culture that will never die. Just be careful of contagion. Are you a leader? Or are you a follower? And should I even be asking you these questions? Why aren't you asking yourselves? For pity's sake, why does everyone think that they too, have to 'create' something. Stop bombarding my eyes, my ears, and my senses. Not everyone has to 'create'. Some people's only gift … is to sit still, and to be quiet. And even then, and even around here, that has to be consciously learned sometimes.

Wanting to 'create'. Craving attention. Needing to be seen. Wanting to be noticed. ME. ME. ME.

Wanting to do something, and actually contributing something of interest or of value to the cultural fabric are two different things entirely.

Some people need to stay home.

Walter Palmer should have stayed at home. And when he failed so spectacularly on all counts in trying to portray himself as having even a modicum of human decency, his PR team should have told him that there was still hope. That salvaging 5% of the wreckage is still better than salvaging none at all, but then that would have involved him having to know how to keep his mouth shut after that apocalypse of his own determined making. And there he failed spectacularly, again. When he chose instead to voice and to reiterate his love of killing animals, for sadistic sport and for his sole sadistic pleasure.

Cheryl Cole,... sorry, I still keep getting it wrong all of the time, don't I? Cherry Tweedy Versailles-Whatever, should have also just stayed at home. Also failed spectacularly. After which she then should have also learned to keep her mouth shut. Failed spectacularly, again. And again. And again. Some people really have the gift.

Me. Me. Me. ME ME ME. Look at me. Now look away. Cunt culture will never die. Vapid. Vapid. Vapid. Empty Empty Empty. Hollow. Hollow. Hollow. The vacuousness IS the contagion. And then, collective outrage, when it's all too late.

Beyonce promoting veganism, because for 30 days she was worried about the spread of her thunderous thighs. Sell my album. Sell my ass. Sell my irony. How do I look in this? Does Beyonce know how to spell veganism? Don't hold your breath. Does she know how to spell irony? Of course she does. It's spelled 'ME'. Say my name, say my name, say my name.




Why do you look at Cecil today? Why? There isn't any Cecil anymore. And what about all the others, who have no voice? The others, who also NEVER had a voice?

No voice. NO choice. NO chance.

Why do you look to me? Do you follow me? What are you following? My train of thought? The curve of the small of my back? My twitter account? My devastation and outrage? See pain, and walk away.

My outrage is not yours to keep. My outrage is not for sale. I am not yours. I am not anyone's. And collective outrage too late, is too little. And is as transparent as it is predictable as it is useless.

Cecil was not Walter Palmer's to injure, maim, devastate, torture, or then to kill. All of the other animals in the world are not yours either. Or mine. Or anybody's - to violate, mutilate, segregate, decimate.

Emptiness knows no bounds. But do you contribute to the darkness? Because the next question is, why would you even want to be a part of the VOID?

I am not for sale. I never was. I never will be. My thoughts are my own. My conviction is compassion. But what do YOU sell? What do you stand for? What are you a part of? A counterculture? A counter to what? You are not countering anything, if your only counter is in easy-peasy, silent agreement. Twitter, you have a lot to answer for. Favorites and likes and retweets will never change anything. Me. Me. ME.

When someone with a clearly very limited scope of mental faculties such as Walter Palmer, is able to pay money in the mid five figures to kill an animal of such indescribable beauty and as majestic as Cecil was, for the simple reason that in his seemingly functioning state of complete and total psychotic dementia, he does so because to him, this majestic animal is more beautiful DEAD, than it ever was alive - this is UNFATHOMABLE to me.

The fact that this grotesque individual, in his functioning state of seemingly - to any normal person - full blown sociopathy, then opened his mouth to DEFEND his love of killing animals, sent shockwaves and electric currents through my flesh and to the very core of my being.

Are you listening? Don't listen to my words just because I've taken the time to type them out. Listen because you have been given a brain with which to think, and eyes with which to see. And a voice, with which to make yourself heard. Use it for something useful. And because some of us HAVE to be better, than those who aren't. Find your own words, in your own life. THINK. FEEL. CARE. Stop clamoring. Stop adding to the ME. ME. ME vacuousness of it all. Turn off. Tune out. Whatever it is you're looking for in others, externally, around you, extrinsically – you will never find it there. EVER.

So, do you care? After all? You say you care. But do you, really?

For how long?
For as long as it takes you to read this?
For as long as it takes you to agree with me?

Because frankly, that's not long enough. And it never will be.
And SHAME was the only name, that this game ever had.

In a heart of darkness, devastation, and fire

ASTRA

I think I'll have a cocktail now.

Astra's words have left me feeling..... pathetic! She is of course right, but I already know that I am neither thoughtful enough, loving enough, or caring enough to change.... at least not today. Maybe I will one day surprise myself, and become the person I would like to be. Why is it that I KNOW that I am not the person I would like to be, but I do nothing to change it? WHY? What stops us from doing the right thing? It is, truly, pathetic.

And now I am off to wander the streets of London.... pathetically.

Day 1420 - "There's no way back to the world you knew"

There has been nothing from Our Mozzer since last Thursday, when 'R' posted this message on his behalf on FTM:

A treat in store.

I am reliably informed via fax, received a few minutes ago, that prior to the posting of a new comedy piece, two wonderful writers will give the BRS a treat in return for their unwavering support and Jjaz's blue rose.

Our Mozzer and Broken have together written a short piece of prose, which is currently being edited by Mikey.

OM wrote in the faxed message: "This piece is beauty itself, by beauty, for beauty, without reference to the ugliness we see all around us in, as Astra warmly reminded us, what is a truly vile world. No mention of Kim Kardashboard, Katy Putrid, The Peckhams OBE or indeed, thank God, David Ca-moron. One can only hope the world soon catches up with us by winding the clock back to the pre-TV era and lighting a candle in honour of the human spirit. When will we have a revolution against television? When will we begin to think for ourselves? Suffice to say, the piece will touch you in ways words never have. Thank you Broken. Thank you BRS."
'R'

It would appear that Mikey is taking rather a long time in editing the 'short piece of prose' written by Our Mozzer and Broken, and as to the new "comedy piece", well, who knows when we will see that!

Meanwhile, Morrissey has been busy posting a number of TTY statements, including one rather bizarre one entitled, 'Blind girl climbs on stage to touch Morrissey at historic Sao Paulo show in Brazil'. There is no text to accompany this piece, just a video montage of Now My Heart Is Full. Bizarre. Morrissey has also written tributes to Lynn Anderson and Cilla Black, both of whom died this week. In the Cilla piece, Morrissey wrote, "there's no way back to the world you knew" - now if that isn't a song lyric, then I don't know what is.

And now, here is the Twitterdilly Arms Chart, which features Nobody Loves Us, as posted by Mademoiselle Fifi, who made a brief appearance this week.

Day 1426 - Mute witness

On Day 1405 I promised not to write another blog entry until the new MW parody arrived, and I am a man of my word, so this is definitely my very last entry until the parody, or the Our Mozzer/Broken essay, arrives.

The only reason that I am writing this today, is because both Astra and Broken have made appearances in The Arms in the past 24 hours, with Astra mainly posting Bardot pics, and Broken mainly posting Bieber pics - some things never change. Both Broken and Astra interacted with some of the (ir)regulars, but I have not joined in any of the conversations - I am a mute witness.... or technically, a non typing witness.

Here are the highlights:

Broken:

"Those who turn away from TV thereby turn away from reality: this renders them insane as they look at the facts just as they are"

"Dark chocolate is the ultimate adult pleasure; it is delicious but utterly unfulfilling, which leaves one craving more."

The twitter account @MorrisseyParody also sprung back into action a couple of days ago, with it's first tweets since September last year. It tweeted:

"@TheRatsBack "The trouble with you, is all that you do. It's what everyone knows to be true."

I've obviously upset old MP, which I'm pretty sure is our old friend, Kevin Mar(r)inan. Earlier today he also posted a song, Bright Blue Rose by Mary Black:



So, that's it from me until the parody or essay arrives.

Goodnight.

Day 1438 - The orange juggler

Morrissey last night appeared on James Corden's The Late Late Show, singing Kiss Me A Lot. Whilst he was in the Green Room, Moz was filmed juggling oranges, which got the MW splinter group community, The World of Moz, very excited, as they immediately saw this as a nod to their leader, Chuck aka Orange Mécanique. And perhaps they are right, although of course, Moz does has previous for tossing oranges!









As for the perfor, er, singing thing.... MAGNIFIQUE! Oh, Steve Barnett and you other c**ts at Harvest, so much to answer for.




Anyway, I'm not supposed to be here, so I'll f**k off again, and only reappear when that parody or essay arrives..... I may be some time!



Foot Note: Morrissey's interview with Larry King on Monday has now appeared on the internet, plus Kiss Me A Lot:

Day 1442 - List of the Lost and another blue rose

On Day 1405 of FTM I promised that I would cease from blogging until one of the following happened:

A) A new MW parody appeared
B) Morrissey accepted a FIFTH blue rose
C) Morrissey wore a Bieber t-shirt
D) There was no D

I would like to say that a new parody has been posted (or the promised Broken/OM essay), but unfortunately that is not the case..... however, on Friday night at the San Diego Observatory, Morrissey picked up the blue rose that BRS member, Jaz, threw at his feet - an accepted FIFTH blue rose.... actually, there have been more than five accepted, as I previously forgot to include Vulgar Angie's bunch of blue roses that Moz accepted in LA, or indeed my flashing plastic one that Donnie Knutson passed on to Moz for me in New York.

A photo of Jaz's blue rose has also been added to the BlueRoseSociety tumblr, as has a picture of Marianne's (@Sadglamour) rose outside The Observatory. Welcome Marianne to the BRS.

MARIANNE'S BLUE ROSE (KINDLY DONATED BY JAZ)

In other news, Morrissey's debut novel, entitled List of the Lost, is to be released in September. *Hangs out bunting, waves blue roses, sounds trumpets* Who needs a new album when you have a book to look forward to? Surely there will be tell-tell signs to link the writing style to that of the short story, Brazil, which was published on MorrisseysWorld, and can be found on the BRS tumblr (and also on Day 1286 of FTM). Let the anticipation begin.

In other other news, both Broken and Astra have been seen in The Arms in recent days, Morrissey sang Let the right one slip in in San Diego (for only the second time ever), a new Moz t-shirt (with Moz's head on Sean Connery's body) is being sold at concerts, and most exciting of all, my favourite song from WPINOYB, Oboe Concerto was sound checked last week, which means it's highly awaited live debut MUST be coming soon.

And finally finally, my favourite photo of the week - David Van Day performing this week in an old people's home. David Brent meets Derek:

Day 1444 - Quando Quando Quando

The very observant GWO (@girlwithout) yesterday spotted that during Morrissey's perfor, er, singy thing of Everyday is like Sunday at the FYF Festival in California on Sunday, he changed the line "every day is silent and grey" to "tell me Quando Quando Quando". It transpires that Moz did the exact same thing on the second night at the San Diego Observatory.

To the outside world, Morrissey singing Quando Quando Quando means nothing whatsoever, and it hasn't even been mentioned by anyone on social media or at the Solow place, but to us MorrisseysWorlders, it is yet ANOTHER, HUGE 'coincidence' for us to add to our extremely long list.
For those who may be reading this and not having a clue what I am going on about, let me explain.

Quando Quando Quando is a song by Englebert Humperdinck, which is infamous in MorrisseysWorld due to it being played a number of times over the past eighteen months in the Twitterdilly Arms, accompanied by a video of the late Royce Reed dancing:



The song, and video of Royce, made it into the Twitterdilly Arms Chart on both Day 860 (reaching number 5) and Day 965 (reaching number 12). The only reason we ever got to know about this wonderful video of Royce dancing to Quando Quando Quando is because of..... ASTRA, who first played it in The Arms in January 2014. When the video (and song) made it into our chart, Astra posted the following half glazed (well it was 4am in the morning!) comment:


Oh my!

My eyes are half glazed now, but they must have been fully glazed when I first saw the chart yesterday afternoon... because I saw Quando Quando Quando... but I did not register the fact AT ALL, that dancing Royce made it all the way to your #5! lol!!

So never you mind - about my Jaynie Baby.

Because BABY, Jaynie can wait!

P.S.

Don't think to yourself for a single blue rose solitary second that I didn't see the entry the other day where you called me a french maid(!). I think you should stop pressing up against my peephole like that, Rat, for a start. Next thing I know if I'm not careful, you'll be asking me to have a go under your sofa!

Now...

*Where did I put my pink feather duster again?*

LOL at Royce dancing around in the middle of your chart!

Just LOL!!!


ROYCE REED

Meanwhile, Jaz has posted a review of her concert experience from that second night in San Diego:

Initially, I had taken 5 roses to San Diego but only 4 survived til doors opened I gave one to Marianne and the other two to friends I made in SLC. Mind you these people have never seen the original MorrisseyWorld blog but what they have seen is a blue rose in Moz's back pocket or they thought they were pretty. (Not that I or blue roses are anything special, we're just impossible) In fact there were others in the queue who whispered amongst themselves positively. In fact, I regret not taking more roses. It's possible for the first few rows to be awash with roses, at a small venue, the observatory was decently sized. I stood between Moz and Boz what I call the sweet spot, and Marianne found her way over to Jesse's side so either side was flanked by a rose. Seeing as I had no luck even was encourgaed to "get in there girl and give him your rose" by a complete stranger, my last chance was the encore, so i had my friend who had a clear view of the stage launch the rose my tummy churned when he looked up from his bow i wasn't sure if we hit him or something but seconds after I was the rose lifted and placed by Bruce Lee's image. UK people I know you can do the same if not more. I know Chuck is planning on taking silk roses, which is nice but I think the delicate fresh ones are best. What about anyone else? I wish everyone the best of luck.



Jaz's encouraging words to the "UK people" are all well and good, but with the exception of myself and EARS, I don't believe that there are any BRS members in the UK - certainly not ones who have actually shown any desire to take a rose. We used to have Marcus the Greek, but unfortunately he turned his back on the BRS after his fall-out with Broken. Maybe if Chuck does take a rose, her UK based splinter group followers, such as Bitchy Bobby Neville, Kerry the Cocktail, GOB and LizzyCat will follow suit - although, actually that won't work, because Chuck is attending the Paris concert, which comes after the UK concerts! Maybe Manclad will come up trumps in Hull? Hmm.

And finally, just as I have finished writing, Jaz has posted on twitter to say that Morrissey has used the words Quando Quando Quando on stage before.... PRE it being played in The Arms by Astra! Oh well, c'est la vie!

Day 1446 - A New dawn (A Parody)

August 27, 2015, 10:06 am

The setting is the Twitterdilly Arms - the online (anti)social club that is home to Morrissey's Blue Rose Society.

GWO is serving behind the bar, and has two hardened drinkers, Boozy Kerry and MancLadMozfan, sat on bar stools opposite her. MancLad is sipping a vodka & cranberry, which has a cocktail umbrella poking out from it. He removes the umbrella, and uses the sharp wooden end to pick out a piece of peanut which is lodged between the only two teeth that remain on his top row. Boozy K has just been on a mine sweep of the bar, and has a pint glass full of a variety of drinks. She downs the contents in one, wipes her hand across her mouth, burps, and then quickly pulls her hair into an elastic band before throwing up all over MancLad's lap.

BOOZY K: (slurring) Soz about that. Let me clear it up.

Boozy K grabs a towelling mat from the bar, which has the word Guinness written on it, and starts to wipe the liquid vomit from MancLad's faded and dirty blue jeans.

MANC LAD: (slurring) Don't worry love, if anything that will improve my look.


A small group are sat at a table close to the jukebox. The group include Rat, Heather, EARS, Jaz, Moz Fiend, Marianne and comrade harps. They are all sat staring at their mobile (cell) phones.

MOZ FIEND: (staring at her phone) Morrissey's new novel sounds so exciting, and listen to what he has written on the Penguin website about it, "an American tale where, naturally, evil conquers good, and none live happily ever after, for the pangs of the empty experiences of flesh-and-blood human figures are the reason why nothing can ever be enough."

HEATHER: (staring at her phone) I like the first bit, "Beware the novelist... intimate and indiscreet... pompous, prophetic airs... here is the fact of fiction." I just can't wait for the release.

EARS: (staring at her phone) I like the last bit, "To read a book is to let a root sink down. List of the Lost is the reality of what is true battling against what is permitted to be true".  I love the use of the words, "let a root sink down".

COMRADE HARPS: (staring at phone) They've missed a comma.

HEATHER: Yes, I noticed that.

RAT: I didn't. Where have they missed one?

COMRADE HARPS: After the word true. It should read, "List of the Lost is the reality of what is true, comma, battling against what is permitted to be true." Otherwise it reads like "true battling".

RAT: Oh yeah, you're right.

JAZ: The cover picture of the runner-

MARIANNE: -Earl Young-

JAZ: -looks just like Moz, bit with short hair. He must have stumbled across it online and decided it would be amusing to use it.

MARIANNE: I like it.



RAT: Hey, Jaz, have you seen that two new photos of your San Diego blue rose have been added to the BRS tumblr site?

JAZ: Really? No, I hadn't seen that. I'll look now.






Just then, the door of the Twitterdilly Arms opens, and in bursts a woman dressed all in orange, and sporting an orange wig. She is also wearing a blue rose. The woman looks exactly like Lil the Dancer from Twin Peaks - but in orange as opposed to red. It is Chuck aka Lucy the mechanical orange - self proclaimed fruit of the Blue Rose Society. She is attempting to pull the same face as Earl Young from the cover of List of the Lost.



Chuck walks over to the table where the small group are gathered, and addresses them.

CHUCK: Do you lot realise that you were supposed to hold the AGM of the BRS on June 21st?

The group stare blankly.

CHUCK: For Christ's sake, I'm not even in your silly gang, but I seem to know more about what goes on around here than any of you! Do none of you remember Rat's BRS AGM parody from last year? It was stated at the end of the piece by your Chairman, Loughton Lil, that the next AGM would be held on June 21st 2015. No doubt Rat was too busy fiddling with his wicket and balls to remember to write it.

RAT: I'm not the chairman, it's up to him to make arrangements for the AGM.

HEATHER: To be fair, Lil hasn't been around much in recent months, and if I'm honest, I'd completely forgotten you'd written that piece, Rats.

RAT: Yes, I noticed you'd not commented on it. In fact, apart from a few anonymous comments, hardly anyone commented on it. It makes me wonder why I bother writing my amusing parodies.

MOZ FIEND: You haven't written one of your parodies for ages, Rat.

RAT: And you wonder why? When nobody bothers commenting, it destroys the soul. Us writers need to know we are appreciated. I could understand if my parodies were dreary, like Bitter Bobby Neville's, the pessoa blogger, but they are a work of art.
(Turns to Chuck) You must know how I feel, the parody you published on your blog thing yesterday was really good, with the obvious exception of your ridiculous conclusion, and yet only three people have commented. Mind you, it didn't help that it only remained as the front page story for an hour and a half, before that boozy bint over there (looks towards Boozy Kerry, who is now laying on her back on the floor, laughing to herself for no apparent reason) replaced it with a groundbreaking piece about how the cover of Morrissey's new book is orange.

CHUCK: Well, unlike you, I don't need a load of brown nosers heaping false praise on me. Three comments is just fine; at least they are sincere. No one thinks your parodies are funny, the only reason you ever get any comments at all is because your little band of followers are all too scared to upset you, and on that point, that is why I am here. (Addressing the whole pub) I have come to take over the running of the Blue Rose Society.

RAT: You can't just take it over, you haven't even taken a rose to a concert yet.



CHUCK: That's your problem, Rat, you are the one who is always making up the rules. Whosays you have to take a rose to a concert to be a member of the BRS? You keep trying to claim that the BRS is not your club, and yet it is always you making the rules. If it is Morrissey's Society, as you always state, then let him make the rules.

RAT: It WAS Our Mozzer who made the rule, you stupid orange! It was he who asked us to bring roses to his concerts. How many times must I state this? How can the BRS possibly work if nobody takes roses to concerts?

The orange Chuck goes quiet for a moment or two as she collects her thoughts, and then suddenly springs back into life.

CHUCK: The Blue Rose Society could have been huge by now, and concert halls could have been awash with roses, but Rat, because of your bullying and dictating, you've kept people away. The World of Morrissey blog is a revolution. I believe that if you weren't involved with the BRS, we could make it grow.

EARS: I don't want Rat to leave.

HEATHER: Nor me.

CHUCK: Your loyalty is commendable, but you must see that all the hatred towards the BRS, and all the negativity, is because of Rat. The group we have at TWoM is growing, and as long as Rat isn't involved, we can spread the message of the BRS, and one day soon, concert halls really will be full of beautiful blue roses.

The room goes quiet. Nobody speaks for a few minutes, until Rat stands up and addresses the room.

RAT: Chuck is of course right. The BRS has been successful in the US, but in Europe it has failed to take off, and for it to happen, I need to bow out. I call on Chuck and her friends to take over the running of the BRS for the upcoming European concerts, and let's see if they can spread the word. I meanwhile, will continue to wait for that promised MorrisseysWorld parody.


Just then, the toilet door opens, and out walks Manc Lad.

MANC LAD: I'd give it five minutes if I were you.

Day 1458 - Touch Me

It has now been 54 days since Our Mozzer, via R, returned to FTM and suggested that he would publish a new parody piece. It has also been 40 days since OM, via R, promised us "a treat" of a "a short piece of prose" - written by both OM and Broken, and edited by Mikey which, we were told, "will touch you in ways words never have." The question is, WHERE THE FUCK IS IT? WHERE THE FUCK IS ANY OF IT?

It has been four long years since I did that stumbling thing that is mentioned at the top of this blog, and since that initial stumble, I have spent god knows how many hours/days/months writing this shitty two bit blog, just so that the story of MorrisseysWorld and the Blue Rose Society can one day be read by all, and what thanks do I get from Mr Subject Matter? None! Have I ever asked for anything? No! Well I'm asking now, GIVE US THE EFFING PARODY PIECE AND TOUCHY PROSE. GIVE IT TO US NOW, OR OTHERWISE I AM OFF TO BLOG ABOUT GEORGE MICHAEL.



While I am here, I guess that I may as well mention that Morrissey finished his US tour with an excellent rendition of a song I had never heard of before, Are You Sure Hank Done It That Way, and he also debuted the wonderful, Oboe Concerto:






Also while I am here, I will mention that Morrissey recently attended the London film premier of the new Krays based film, Legend, where he went dressed as Cheryl Cole (thanks to Roberto Ferdenzi for pointing out the similarity):



                          MOZ & CHEZ - TWO PEAS IN A POD

And also while I am here, Morrissey has been photographed at an Anti-Fur demo in London this week, and his nephew has posted a picture of Moz & his sister as babies:






And also, also while I am here, Manc Lad has found on the Napoli Today website (God only knows what Manc Lad was doing looking on Italian websites) an article saying that Morrissey will be playing new songs from an album to be released in the New Year. Could there possibly be any truth to this?

And also, also, also while I am here, Fifi was lurking in The Twitterdilly Arms on Saturday morning, and favourited a tweet of mine that read: "What's your dreams, your goals, your ambitions and aims? He laughed and said, Shame is the name." Hash tag SwordsMorning.

Embedded image permalink

I presume that Fifi was just letting me know that she still looks in occasionally, as opposed to that actual tweet meaning anything, but who knows?

And finally, WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT PARODY PIECE?

Must it really all end here, with me, a desperate, washed-out nobody pleading for a grain of something?
