So much happened at the Morrissey concerts of last Friday and Saturday in Hollywood, that it took me all day on Monday to catch up with events. I wasn't helped by the fact that I was out all afternoon, so I ended up writing the vast majority of my last blog entry in bed on Monday night. I finally finished writing at 12.30 am Tuesday morning, which in Davis, California, was 2.30 pm on Monday afternoon. Just as I was about to publish my blog, I noticed that Broken (@BrokenReturns) had returned once again to twitter, and had posted a number of tweets, including, "Well I W'OO'nder."

I considered adding this tweet to my blog entry but decided not to, A) Because I had already written far too much, B) Because I was tired and C) Because I had a sneaky feeling that Broken was giving us a sign that 'Well I Wonder' was going to be sung that night at the concert in Davis, and I didn't want to scupper the possibility of this happening by mentioning it. There is NO D) in this paragraph, so please don't hang around waiting for one, move straight on to the next paragraph.

My 'sneaky feeling' was right, during the pause in the song 'Speedway' at the concert in Davis on Monday night, Morrissey sang, "Gasping, dying, but somehow still alive. This is the fierce last stand of all I am. Please keep me in mind", from the song....... 'Well I Wonder.' Now there are coincidences, and there are coincidences, but this is far, far more than a common or garden coincidence, this is a BIGGY, but was it the topic of conversation all day Tuesday among all Morrissey fans? No, of course not, because with the exception of the 'Deluded Dozen', NOBODY would have had ANY idea of it's significance.

COMMON OR GARDEN? NEITHER, IT'S NORTHSTAR PARK IN DAVIS, CALIFORNIA

The reason that the hundreds of thousands of Morrissey fans throughout the world wouldn't have realised the HUGE significance of 'Well I Wonder' being sung in Davis is because, with the exception of those handful of us following this whole story, they are all blissfully unaware that ANYTHING  is going on. The vast majority of Morrissey fans will NEVER have even heard of MorrisseysWorld, let alone know what the Blue Rose Society is all about, and as for the tweets of somebody called '@BrokenReturns', who has 78 followers, well, I wonder.

With the disappearance of the MorrisseysWorld blog, there is now NO chance of any more of Morrissey's fans discovering the MW phenomenon, and with the '@MorrisseysWorld' twitter account now in the grubby paws of a two bit rat, there isn't even the chance of anybody stumbling across Morrissey on twitter. What is more, the three main Morrissey websites; True To You, All You Need Is Morrissey and SoLow AREN'T discussing the MorrisseysWorld phenomenon because NONE of them believe it's ANYTHING to do with Morrissey.


This whole MorrisseysWorld/Blue Rose phenomenon is now SO underground that only moles and worms are going to know about it. Even if Morrissey fans were to stumble across my blog, they wouldn't believe a word of what I'm writing, and if they were to go and ask over at SoLow if any of the MW stuff is true, just as Naomi Ilsbroux did on December 27th (see here: http://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/126508-Is-the-owner-of-the-Twitter-account-MorrisseysWorld-Morrissey-himself?highlight=morrisseysworld), they will be TOLD by the moderator that "It's a dickhead pulling a scam", although WHAT the scam is, has never been explained!

This whole thing is genius, absolute genius. The question is, just HOW blatant can Morrissey make things before someone, somewhere, takes note and alerts the outside world? The answer is, as blatant as he wants, because each and every act or sign will either be ignored, not noticed as relevant, or called coincidental.

If I were to write that I believe Morrissey will walk out on stage tonight at the Moore Theatre in Seattle and sing 'I'm standing in the dock, with my innocent hand on my heart, I've changed my plea, I've changed my plea to guilty' during the break in 'Speedway', AND it happened, NOBODY would notice, with the exception of about thirteen people, who would leave comment on my blog tomorrow saying, 'WOW!' (Only 13 people left comment on my last blog entry, which makes me think that only about 20 or 30 people read ALL of what I ramble on about on a daily basis, although my daily hit count is around 800, so who knows!)

I think we've even reached the stage whereby Morrissey could now wear a manufactured pop act t-shirt, and NOBODY would connect it to MorrisseysWorld, after all, there IS no MorrisseysWorld, and even if there were, NOBODY believes a word of it. GENIUS I tell yer, absolute GENIUS!

THE MOORE THEATRE IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - WILL MOZ WEAR A MANUFACTURED POP ACT T-SHIRT, AND IF SO, THEN WHAT?

Here are the highlights from the rest of Broken's tweets from Monday afternoon:

"Does MOZ handing the mic to a BlueRoseSociety member, accepting the BlueRoseRing and picking out/wearing another BlueRose count as a sign?" (The answer is, apparently NOT, Broken, old son.)

"Surely the BlueRoseSociety never envisaged all this would happen and... be ignored?!" (No, no we didn't!)

"Morrissey is ensuring the legend of BlueRoseSociety will live on and grow. Their names shall liveth forevermore."

"MorrisseysWorld is NOT Morrissey but Moz clearly approves." (This of course could become the new angle. TRM (The Real Morrissey) obviously now 'officially' KNOWS of the BlueRoseSociety because of Vulgar's presentation of the ring at the Staples Center, so we may see Morrissey drawing reference to the BRS in interviews or on stage, whilst 'obviously' being NO part of it himself. I loved that at Staples, when he took the ring, he even asked Vulgar for a rose. You can hear the conversation here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqPAfo3u3_Y.)

"Morrissey knows what he has to do to bring 'Our Mozzer' back. He has always known." (Does Broken mean the 'Manufactured Pop Act T-shirt?)

In response to Lizzy Cat's question about whether or not Moz will pass on the Blue Rose Ring - "Who knows? Only Morrissey."

"How come Moz picks out roses only, throws them up and keeps them or wears them? Anyone? (A good question Broken, but with just 78 followers, who are ALL believers anyway, NOBODY new is listening to you. Unfortunately, there is no footage of the rose being thrown up in the air, not that it would make any difference if there were. I'm not sure I even 'knew' a rose had been tossed up in the air, or did I read somewhere that it had? Was it at Staples? And how does Broken know about it? Hmm)

And so to Monday's concert:

The quality of Youtube footage is always hit and miss at each concert, but from what I've watched of the footage in Davis, the quality is quite good. Morrissey's opening gambit of the night was, "For what you are about to receive, may you be truly, truly sorry," and then he was straight into another great perform...., er, singy thing of 'Alma Matters'. Moz wore a blue shirt with a badge on, which initially a number of the BRS got excited about, thinking that it might be a BRS badge, but it was in fact a 'Fishing Hurts' badge.


MORRISSEY IN DAVIS MARCH 4TH 2013

As he sung Alma Matters, Morrissey swished the mic lead, whilst wearing his two chunky rings and gold 'trash' nail varnish. There was no sign of the Blue Rose Ring or any finger lingerie. It was also strange not to see any roses being waved around after all the rose activity of recent days.


The 'Paris' footage shows the sweaty heart shape taking, er, shape, and a lyric change to "how kind, you made yourself very plain."

Before starting 'Still Ill', a heckler kept shouting 'Where is David Bowie', so Morrissey handed him the mic, and the man said something about a falcon seeing Morrissey. He then repeated, 'Where is David Bowie WHO?' Morrissey applauded, put his tongue in his cheek and then said, "Poetry lad, poetry."

The funniest part of the evening was probably the speech Mozzer gave before 'People Are the Same Everywhere'. He enquired as to whether any of the audience had travelled, and even those who shouted that they had, he called them liars, stating, "You're from Northern California, where you'll stay 'til the day you die." It is worth watching the footage if you haven't seen it, the link can be found above, on the set list.

Towards the end of the 'Thorn' encore, a number of people invaded the stage, and were greeted with hugs. All in all, another great concert. I don't suppose we will see any roses at a concert until March 22nd, when HeatherCat will be attending in Minneapolis. I suppose we have been spoilt by the exploits of Vulgar.

0830 UK TIME (1230 SEATTLE TIME) - I have a day off work today, so I have decided to write a 'LIVE' blog throughout the day, reporting on my findings of last night's Morrissey concert in Seattle as I piece together information that I discover from all over the internet. As I write this, I am VERY excited that there may have been a HUGE sign in Seattle last night, but I think it would be too good to be true, let me explain. Somebody with the twitter name '@KarenxMoz'  tweeted an hour ago saying, "Touch me, squeeze me, Hold me too tightly, And when you look at me you actually see me." 'KarenxMoz' also tweeted this picture:


MORRISSEY IN SEATTLE LAST NIGHT

The words 'KarenxMoz' has tweeted are from the song 'All The Lazy Dykes', which hasn't been sung live for AGES, but it is the song that I mentioned in my recent interview with Morrissey. It would be an unbelievable coincidence if Morrissey had sung 'Dykes' lat night, but I'm now thinking that 'KarenxMoz' has just added those words to go with her picture. She has also tweeted, "Sing your life" with a picture of Moz singing last night. My excitement is dwindling. No hope, no harm, just another false alarm.


MORRISSEY SINGING HIS LIFE IN SEATTLE

Another tweet that has got me excited this morning, which is also probably ANOTHER false alarm, is from '@BrokenReturns'. It was posted at 0735, which would have been 2335 in Seattle. It reads, "Moz to play England and LA - AGAIN? What Difference D'00'es it Make?" This has got me w'00'ndering if Moz sang 'What Difference Does It Make' during the pause in Speedway last night. What is the relevance of that I hear you cry, well, in my first interview with Moz back in May 2012, I asked him if he would ever perform it again and he gave a long and witty reply, which ended with him saying, "I'd feel too ashamed. I might sing it during the pause in 'Speedway'." I have been waiting ever since, but to NO avail. As I say, I'm sure my excitement will soon be crushed, but as I await a set list or any news from Seattle, a twinge remains.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE SLEEVE


Broken's only other tweets of yesterday were to re-tweet my blog entry, and to post pictures of footballers! Incidentally, my blog received 810 hits yesterday, but only 167 were specific to yesterday's 'Well I W'OO'nder' entry. I am receiving loads and loads of spam hits and comments, so the 810 figure is NOT a reflection of the true readership, it is much less. It is hard to say with any accuracy as to how many people are still following the MorrisseysWorld phenomenon on a daily basis via my blog, but I really do think it is probably around 130, with probably 30 to 40 being 100% convinced that it is Morrissey behind it. So, after 3 years of MorrisseysWorld, only 30 to 40 people belong to the 'Deluded Dozen' club. Wow!

Just thirteen comments were left on my blog of yesterday, three of which were from non-believers, mainly leaving anonymous abuse, although one left comment to say, "It's not Moz BUT Moz is so OBVIOUSLY aware and approves." Well, if that WERE the case, WHO is the mysterious person making predictions such as 'Well I Wonder' being sung? It doesn't work for Moz to just be an 'approver'. Another commenter called 'wordsmiff' asked, why would Morrissey do this? I responded that he has done it to form the Blue Rose Society, just as Oscar Wilde formed his own Green Carnation Society. It really is a fantastic story, and we are SO lucky to be living it.


MORRISSEY REACHES FOR A BLUE ROSE IN HOLLYWOOD

I have previously said that MorrisseysWorld was like our 'Hotel California', but I was wrong, it's our 'Hand In Glove'. Right, I am now going to trawl through twitter to see if I can find any tweets relating to a set list. If I have no joy, I shall resort to visiting the SoLow place, it is the ONLY thing that it is still good for. Back later.

1000 UK TIME (0200 SEATTLE) - I decided to visit the SoLow place first, but there is NO set list, just the usual abuse. The first comment of the day on SoLow is quite interesting, it says, "Following on from Morrissey accepting the blue rose sing (sic) from the blue rose society, picking out MORE blue roses from the crowd and wearing shirts with roses on them, any more blue rose references? How come no one notices what it (sic) happening here?" The comment is anonymous, but OBVIOUSLY has come from one of the 'Deluded Dozen'. It didn't take long for 'UncleSkinny' to reply with the following, "Because not everyone is a gullible turd like you. Now shut up and let's talk about the music."

Another anonymous person has left a message for me, calling me, "the lamest troll of all time" and suggesting that I have "made a fake internet blog." *Yawn*

A user by the name of 'VivaGil' has agreed with 'UncleSkinny' that the Blue Rose Society are just trolls. There is NOTHING on SoLow about last night's concert in Seattle, NOTHING!

1000 UK TIME - 'UNCLESKINNY' IS AWAKE AND PATROLLING HIS SOLOW SLUM. 'SKYLARKER' IS HAVING A LAY IN. DESPITE MORRISSEY'S CONCERT IN SEATTLE FINISHING OVER 3 HOURS AGO, THERE IS 'NO' COMMENTS ON SOLOW

1030 UK TIME (0230 SEATTLE) - I am now trawling through twitter and have found some photos:


MORRISSEY IN SEATTLE - PHOTO BY '@RACHELNIXON'



LET ME KISS YOU IN SEATTLE - PHOTO BY '@KATESEVENTY8'

1037 UK TIME (0237 SEATTLE) - The first Youtube footage has emerged, and although it is poor quality, it shows that the two songs were delivered with perfection. 'Joke' is just, well, its just.... awesome! (See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWjL0uV6SEU)

1053 UK TIME (0253 SEATTLE) - HeatherCat has found a set list on the internet (http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/morrissey/2013/the-moore-theatre-seattle-wa-53db6f69.html) although it's accuracy is not known at this point. My excitement about 'All The Lazy Dykes' is now at an end, but still I cling to the slim possibility that 'What Difference' was sung during 'Speedway'.

Uncleskinny - Today, 10:27 AM

Christ Pete, you're starting to look a right twat, learn when to keep your mouth shut, it's now very, very obvious Moz is involved with Blue Rose. Back down gracefully, you got this one wrong.

Made up shit, from a made-up shithead. You are acting like a mental patient being dragged backwards by men in white coats all the while screaming about your deluded fantasy world. For someone who hates this place so much, you sure need the courtesy extended here to give your baloney the oxygen of publicity. You've invennted a world of nonsense, and dug in so deep, you can't back out, because oh, what a fool you'd look then, if that's at all possible over and above what a figure of riducule you've made such a good job of turning yourself into. Give it a rest already.

P.

I am speechless, Skinny has aimed his response at ME! He must imagine that anybody who posts about Blue Rose is me. I don't know what else to add! I think I will go and have a cup of tea. Back later.

1445 UK TIME (0645 SEATTLE) - I decided to take the dog out after my cup of tea, and I then had a spot of lunch. I have just returned to my laptop, and have searched; 1) Youtube, 2) Twitter, 3) SoLow and 4) All You Need Is Morrissey. There is NO new footage on Youtube, NOTHING new on Twitter and NOT A SINGLE relevant comment or sign of a set list on SoLow, which 'claims' to be the number 1 Morrissey fan site. Luckily, there are lots of photos and AYNIM, which I have to admit, is not a site I ever use, perhaps I should. I don't even know who runs it, but would guess that they aren't believers in MorrisseysWorld. The photos show that the band wore 'Ford Trucks' t-shirts and Morrissey was in trash nail varnish. There is a link to an article on 'BackBeatSeattle.Com', which shows the photos in full  (See here: http://backbeatseattle.com/2013/03/07/photos-morrissey-the-moore/). Good old AYNIM, poor old SoLow, it is well and truly DEAD!

MORRISSEY IN SEATTLE WITH CHEEKY GRIN AND TRASH NAIL VARNISH

MORRISSEY IN SEATTLE

MOZ PLUS ANTHONY AND JESSE IN THEIR 'FORD TRUCKS' T-SHIRTS

I have been reading a lot lately that Morrissey has 'rick rolled' David Bowie, but I have to confess, I had NO idea what 'rick rolled' meant, so I googled it. It transpires that it means, 'An internet prank or joke whereby somebody leads you to Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up video when you thought you were seeing something else.' How have I missed this? The fact that Morrissey has replaced David Bowie's picture on the front of his new single with Rick Astley instead is HILARIOUS! Having found out about 'rick rolling', I decided to have a go myself, and posted a link on twitter with the title 'Speedway + What Difference D'00'es It Make - Morrissey'. I added a clip of Rick Astley singing 'Never Gonna Give You Up' from Top of the Pops 1987...... I like this game!

RICK 'N' ROLL - MOZ WITH ASTLEY ON THE FRONT OF THE NEW SINGLE

Whilst on the subject of the new single, I have just placed my order via recordstore.co.uk for the new 7" single plus the cd AND the Kill Uncle album. (Rick)Roll on April.

THE NEW 7" PICTURE DISC - OUT IN APRIL

It is now 1515 UK time and STILL nothing on SoLow. The only other news I have for now is that it has been announced that Bonnie Tyler will be representing the UK in this year's Eurovision Song Contest..... no win this year then! Back later.

1710 UK TIME (0910 SEATTLE) - There has STILL been no more additions to Youtube, but I suppose it is only ten past nine on the morning in Seattle, although you would have thought there might be at least ONE Morrissey fan who was sleepless, who might want to post a video or two! (I'll get my coat.) SoLow STILL had NO reports from the concert, and nothing new has been added to AYNIM or Twitter either. It looks as if it will be a while before I find out WHAT was sung during the pause in 'Speedway'. What if NOBODY reports what was in the pause? It wouldn't be the first time. Arghhhhhh! I shall check back later.

Yesterday's 'live' blog seemed to work quite well, until it got to about 5.30 pm, when I then had dinner, followed by a 2 hour soak in the bath, which resulted in me somewhat losing the impetuous to write anything else, so instead, I settled in to a night in front of the telly, which consisted of a bit of football, a new drama on BBC1 and the England vs New Zealand cricket match. I am afraid to report that England are not fairing very well, although Jimmy Anderson has taken four wickets, so if our batsmen can keep their end's up, we might just about avoid defeat.


JIMMY ANDERSON - LETHAL WITH THE BALL


I did sneak a brief look at the internet during the evening, but when I read on the SoLow place that the a cappella song during the pause in 'Speedway' was 'Lazy Sunbathers', I realised that all that excitement of early Thursday morning was quashed, good and proper, so there really was nothing more to write about ANYWAY! (Video of 'Speedway' + 'Sunbathers' and 'Maladjusted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTfEKkXN4eM)

So, if Broken hadn't been tweeting to tell us that 'What Difference Does It Make' had appeared in the 'Speedway' pause, what WAS the relevance of his tweet? It could of course have been a prediction that 'Difference' would be sung at the next concert, tonight in Portland, but if that ever WAS the plan, I have probably scuppered it by mentioning it. *Kicks self* *Self kicks back* The other part of Broken's tweet had been to mention Moz playing in "England and LA - again", so although the England concert(s) had already been mentioned in my 'fake' interview, Broken's revelation about ANOTHER LA concert is an exclusive. We will now have to wait and see if yet ANOTHER of Broken's predictions comes true.

A couple more videos have appeared from Seattle on Youtube, of 'Action' and 'Killed Me', but apart from that, there is NOTHING on SoLow telling us what Morrissey said during the concert, and NO in depth reviews. ANYTHING could have happened in Seattle, and we'll never know about it. The people of Seattle are obviously comatose...... and don't like SoLow.

I have another very busy day today, and a very busy weekend of sport ahead of me, so this will be my last blog entry until Monday, when I will try and report back on events from the concerts in Portland tonight and San Francisco on Saturday.


THE OUTSIDE OF THE ARLENE SCHNITZER CONCERT HALL, PORTLAND



ARLENE'S INSIDES

THE REGENCY BALLROOM, SAN FRANCISCO, WHERE MORRISSEY PLAYS ON SATURDAY

Broken returned to the Twitterdilly Arms briefly yesterday, once again concentrating mainly on the 'charms' of Cristiano Ronaldo, who he actually tweeted to ask out on a date...... without reply, but there were some other snippets, including the revelation that Our Mozzer is working on a new parody piece. Here are Broken's highlights from yesterday:

In response to me saying that 'Fluff' was stuck in MorrisseysWorld and wanted to give the  '@MorrisseysWorld' account back - "@TheRatsBack MorrisseysWorld is a delightful place to be stuck isn't it?" This response was MOST UNHELPFUL, and I am STILL burdened with the ownership of the account, which I really don't want! I sent a message back saying, "@brokenreturns He says there is a smell of despair in there.... but he quite likes the antique snooker table." I'm guessing this gave Broken a chuckle as he re-tweeted it, but it STILL doesn't help!

JUDD TRUMP GETTING 'IN TO POSITION' ON OUR MOZZER'S ANTIQUE SNOOKER TABLE..... NOT 'ARF

BROKEN'S HIGHLIGHTS CONTINUED:


"I'm glad that Morrissey realises how much love MW and BlueRoseSociety have for him."

"I wear gold on the outside because gold is how I feel on the outside." I wonder if this is a reference to Morrissey's gold nail varnish...... not that Broken has ANYTHING whatsoever to do with Morrissey.... obviously!

In response to GOB asking if it were wrong to hanker after Morrissey - "@GirlOnBike1102 Lizzy would probably faint if Morrissey were to remove his shirt in her conservatory."

"I'm the last remnant of MorrisseysWorld. I'm the stink in the loo after you've sprayed the air freshner." You have to take your hat off to the 'person' behind the 'Broken' account, he plays this character SO well. I can almost picture him, but I have a request, I would dearly LOVE Broken to leave a comment on this blog, describing himself in FULL detail, so that we can build a better picture. I can't decide if he is a good looking man in his thirties, or a 'plain' looking man who thinks he is better looking than he really is, and is carrying a little too much weight!


WEARING GOLD ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT IS THIS THE BROKEN 'HE' SEES IN THE MIRROR, OR THE ONE HE THINKS HE SEES?


BROKEN'S HIGHLIGHTS CONTINUED:

In response to Russell Brand tweeting about watching David Icke - "@rustyrockets @davidicke David Icke and Russell Brand star in the as-yet-unpublished MorrisseysWorld article. David becomes 'Sir David.' Sir David compares Morrissey's latest recorded masterpieces unfavourably to those of his son Gareth. Sir David notes that M's songs have.. 'that great sound you get when you record a song in a damp basement' but Sir David feels Gareth's sense of melody and more overtly conspiratorial lyrics give him the slight edge. However Sir David acknowledges track eleven on 'YOR' as a masterpiece to rival Gareth's finest recorded works."  I personally think that Broken was making this story up as he was going along, but it would be GREAT to see it in full on the MorrisseysWorld blog.

L TO R: GARETH ICKE, MIKE JOYCE, SIR DAVID ICKE AND 'BROKEN' (THE WHITE CARLTON PALMER)


It is great to see that Russell Brand has once again entered Morrissey's life, and if anybody is wondering how this happened, after Moz allegedly failed to reply to Brand's email in New Zealand, I can reveal all. Here are the emails that went between the two:

FROM: MORRISSEY
TO: RUSSELL BRAND
DATE: FEB 13TH 2013

Dear Russell Brand, I have heard nothing from you since your email to me in Wellington, Nude Zealand in late two thousand and twelve, so I am presuming you have ignored my response. Despite your ignorance, I hope life is treating you, well, is life treating you?

Yours, probably to be ignored again,

Morr-ee-say

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FROM: RUSSELL BRAND
TO: MORISSEY
DATE: FEB 13TH 2013

Dear Morr-ee-say, I would never, ever, ever, ever ignore you and can only presume that your email to me got lost somewhere in the deep chasms of cyber space. You are more important to me than life itself, and I thought it were you who were ignoring me. As I recently told The Sun newspaper, "it's like having a woman in your life who doesn't quite fancy you enough." Thank you for enquiring after my well being, life continues to treat me with the disdain that I deserve.

Yours, never ignoringly, and to do with as you please

Dear Brittle Rand (the South African currency ain't like what it used to be)
It may have slipped your notice, what with you being a high flying c-lebrity and all, that I have been lying on my death bed these past few weeks, and yet, despite your grovelling apology of an email, you see fit not to bother asking after my health, even though I, despite being within the grim reaper's grasp, enquired about your current well being. How can you be so wretched?
   Despite your complete lack of caring or interest, here I am, once again trying my upmost to keep our relationship going. My response to your Nude Zealand email WASN'T lost in cyber space, as you suggested, I didn't send a response, and that in itself WAS my response. I, the ignored king of popular music, had become bored of your tiresome 'celebrity' antics, and so decided to banish you from my court, but your heart felt words to The Sun made me very slightly smile, which is why I decided to email you the other day. As you know, I am a traditionalist, and would have preferred to have sent my olive branch by dove rather than email, but I would never use an animal against it's will, and as no doves approached me, asking to fly to your Hackney squat with the olive branch, I have resorted to this awful means of communication.
  If I manage to escape death, I will soon be recommencing my record breaking tour, and have decided to invite you along to the Staples Center on March 1st, where Patrick Dempsey will be introducing me onto the stage. I am also in the process of booking Hollywood High School for the following evening, so if you would like to attend that concert too, then I will let you have a ticket at a slightly reduced price.

Not Yours

My Dearest Love (too cheesy? Oh to hell with it, I love you and I don't care who knows)
I do hope you are managing to recover from your current illness (better late than never, or is the damage done?) and that you will soon be back on stage, up and at 'em. I am supposed to be back in Blighty on March 1st, organising my 'Give It Up For Comic Relief' concert, but I would walk across broken bracken (and any other fern) to attend your two concerts in Hollywood, so I will be there! I am very envious that Patrick D is introducing you at Staples, is there any way that I could introduce you at the school gig? I'll still pay for the ticket!
 You don't know how much it means to me to be back in your life, I thank you from the very depths of the very depths. I'm sure you'll say no, but would you accompany me to a pre-Oscars party next Saturday at Chateau Marmont?

Anyones

Dear Gristle Bandage
In answer to your four questions; yes, I guess not, against my better judgement yes but I'll tell you what to say and yes, why not.

I'm sorry if your 'Comic Grief' concert suffers because you aren't there to organise it, but I would imagine that it will be an unorganised shambles either way. Perhaps Jimmy Carr can step in to be you? I shall see you at the Chateau at 10.30 pm on Saturday, where we shall discuss other matters further.

Dismissed

MOZ AND BRAND AT CHATEAU MARMONT


And finally for today, the main story in the British media this morning is that of Justin Bieber leaving a London concert early yesterday because of breathing difficulties. Bieber continues to steal ALL of Morrissey's marketing ploys; he has copied 'the quiff', the 'heart' and now the 'breathing difficulties', but he is peaking too early, as being rushed to hospital from the O2 when you are at the height of your fame is UNNECESSARY publicity, it is far better to wait until you are playing a leisure centre in Swindon, with your career in free fall, THAT'S when you need the publicity! It is surely just a matter of time before Bieber starts a secret blog, but then what?

Please leave all observations regarding the concerts tonight and Saturday in the comments box below.
Back Monday.

In August 2011, a mysterious website called 'MorrisseysWorld' asked Morrissey fans to take either a single RED ROSE or a single WHITE ROSE to Morrissey concerts. The 'MorrisseysWorld' website explained that Morrissey wanted roses, in honour of his literary hero, Oscar Wilde, who had a theme of roses running through his work.

On November 14th 2011, Morrissey's tour of North America got underway, and a handful of fans who had seen the MorrisseysWorld website,  took roses to Morrissey concerts.

On November 28th 2011, Morrissey accepted a RED ROSE on stage in Pomona. It was the first flower of ANY variety, that Morrissey had accepted on stage in years.

On February 24th 2012, Morrissey started a tour of South America, and again, a few fans took roses, but VERY FEW people knew anything about the MorrisseysWorld website.

On March 17th 2012, Morrissey accepted a WHITE ROSE on stage in Bogota, Colombia. The ROSE wasn't thrust at him, he seemed to seek it out.  (See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVaezmLcyi4). Many other types of flower were taken to the concerts, but Morrissey ignored them all, all EXCEPT THE ROSE.

MORRISSEY WITH A RED ROSE IN POMONA & A WHITE ROSE IN BOGOTA

In the 1890's, Oscar Wilde and his followers would all wear a GREEN CARNATION to Oscar's performances. Much speculation was made about the meaning of GREEN CARNATION, but Wilde himself NEVER publicly explained it's significance.

In early 2012, the mysterious MorrisseysWorld website formed the Blue Rose Society, choosing a BLUE ROSE as the theme. Blue roses, just like green carnations, are an unnatural flower, and they are often portrayed in literature as a symbol of unrequited love.

Word started to get around about BLUE ROSE SOCIETY, and more and more people started to take RED, WHITE and BLUE ROSES to Morrissey concerts. 

A MORRISSEY FAN WITH BLUE ROSES AT THE SAN DIEGO CONCERT - MAY 22ND 2012

On July 5th, Morrissey's wikipedia entry was updated, to make reference to both the BLUE ROSE SOCIETY and GREEN CARNATION, it read:

"The sign of this secret society is the blue rose; blue roses - as well as their other signs, the red and white rose - have been seen at many Morrissey concerts in 2011-2012 from the US to Colombia. The Blue Rose Society is seen by some as a reference to Oscar Wilde's green carnation-wearing followers."

That VERY evening, Morrissey appeared on stage in Liege, Belgium, wearing a GREEN CARNATION for the first time EVER. The next day, the wikipedia entry had mysteriously disappeared. Members of the BLUE ROSE SOCIETY saw this as absolute proof that Morrissey was behind the BLUE ROSE SOCIETY.

MORRISSEY WEARS A GREEN CARNATION IN LIEGE - JULY 2012

On July 7th 2012, Morrissey played a concert to a large and enthusiastic crowd in Rome. Many of the audience took gladioli, and offered them to Morrissey, but he refused them all. As Morrissey walked onto the stage for the encore, a fan offered Morrissey a bouquet of WHITE ROSES, which he accepted. Once again, Morrissey proved he wanted ROSES, and ROSES only, they are the ONLY flowers Morrissey accepts on stage.

On October 5th 2012, Morrissey began the US leg of his tour in Boston. Again there were many flowers in the audience, but the ONLY flowers Moz accepted, were a bunch of RED ROSES.

MORRISSEY WITH THE RED ROSES IN BOSTON

On October 10th 2012, eleven year old Morrissey fan, Kyle Douglas, took a BLUE ROSE to Morrissey's concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Morrissey took the BLUE ROSE from Kyle and wore it for the whole of the encore. This was the FIRST BLUE ROSE that Morrissey had ever accepted on stage (See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_UB-wKCcN4).

KYLE LEAVES HOME WITH HIS BLUE ROSE...........

.....AND MORRISSEY PLACES IT IN HIS POCKET....................

.........WHERE IT REMAINED FOR THE WHOLE ENCORE IN NEW YORK

On January 8th 2013, long time BLUE ROSE SOCIETY member TRB asked Morrissey's tour manager Donnie Knutson if he could get him into the SOLD OUT David Letterman show, but Knutson said, "No." TRB asked Knutson to give a BLUE ROSE to Morrissey to see if the situation could be changed. Half an hour later, TRB was ushered in to see Morrissey via the stage door.

On February 27th 2013, a Morrissey fan called 'Vulgar' Angie from Los Angeles attended Morrissey's concert in San Diego and offered Morrissey a bunch of BLUE ROSES during the song Alma Matters. Morrissey accepted them.

MORRISSEY MOVES IN TO ACCEPT VULGAR'S BLUE ROSES IN SAN DIEGO

The BLUE ROSE SOCIETY has a BLUE ROSE RING which is passed from member to member at Morrissey concerts. It was first passed over in Manchester in July 2012, and having travelled to Edinburgh, it then made it's way to New York and eventually ended up on the West Coast of America with 'Vulgar'. 

On February 27th 2013, Morrissey's long time support act, Kristeen Young was photographed with the ring.

VULGAR AND KRISTEEN WITH THE BLUE ROSE RING

On March 1st 2013, 'Vulgar' was handed the mic at Morrissey's concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and presented Morrissey with the ring. Morrissey even ASKED for a rose to go with it. Listen and watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqPAfo3u3_Y

On March 2nd 2013 at the concert in Hollywood High School, Morrissey leant into the crowd to accept a BLUE ROSE from Morrissey fan Devan.

MORRISSEY REACHES TO RECEIVE A BLUE ROSE IN HOLLYWOOD........



........ AND PLACES IT IN HIS POCKET

MORRISSEY ACCEPTS NO FLOWERS ON STAGE EXCEPT ROSES, PARTICULARLY BLUE ROSES.

The BLUE ROSE SOCIETY is growing in numbers, with more and more Morrissey fans now taking roses to his concerts to show their love.

Morrissey is fully aware of the BLUE ROSE SOCIETY, he often wears shirts on stage with roses on, and even wore a gaudy BLUE ROSE tie when he accepted the 'Key to the City of Tel Aviv'.

MORRISSEY SHOWS HIS SUPPORT FOR THE BLUE ROSE SOCIETY WITH A GAUDY BLUE ROSE TIE

More and more fans now believe that Morrissey started the BLUE ROSE SOCIETY, just as it was Oscar Wilde who formed the GREEN CARNATION SOCIETY. If you are going to a Morrissey concert, take a rose for Morrissey, and if possible, HAND IT TO HIM, or throw it onto the stage at the encore. BECAUSE WE MUST.

What was it that Morrissey said in his 'Reports of my Understated Death' statement of January 31st, "The positive from all of this is that there are now no known ailments left for me to try", well that wasn't true, he hadn't tried "double pneumonia", but he has now!

On Saturday, a press release was posted on True To You, stating that Morrissey's concert in San Francisco was not taking place due to his ongoing medical condition. A further statement on Sunday explained that, "Morrissey is presently being treated in San Francisco for "double pneumonia", but remains on course to headline the Vive Latino festival in Mexico City on March 14." The statement also added that the San Fran concert had been re-arranged for May 1 and that a recently added show for April 5 at Washington's National Theater (sic, it's bloody theatre!) had "sold out within eight seconds". Just to prove that Morrissey's humor (sic, shit, now I'm at it) hasn't deserted him, the following was  added to the statement:

"Morrissey has apologized for the "extreme and silly" venue security at Portland's Arlene Schnitzer Theater during his show there (March 8), commenting: "place an obese McDonalds fry-girl into a venue security uniform and she is suddenly Eva Braun."

ARLENE SCHNITZER SECURITY - "EXTREME AND SILLY"...... AND OBESE


Despite Morrissey's continued illness, he will be DETERMINED to play the Vive Latino Festival, not just because he must feel a great sense of achievement at STILL being a headline act after 30 years in the business, but also because he won't want to let down his extremely loyal Mexican fans. It seems to me that Morrissey's Mexican fans love him unconditionally, whereas far too many of Morrissey's UK and US fans, especially on Solow, seem to be more concerned with picking holes and finding fault in everything he says or sings, which is something that I just CANNOT, CANNOT understand. Why can't ALL Morrissey fans be like the latinos, and just love and support their idol? The whole Blue Rose phenomenon is a perfect example of the attitude of the negative fans who, rather than embrace a creative idea that involves the person that they are supposed to adore, instead try to ridicule and destroy it.


LATINO LOVE FOR MOZ - UNCONDITIONAL

Despite the TTY statement emphasizing that Morrissey's illnesses are ongoing, the hatred from Solow hit new lows yesterday with Uncle Skinny, as usual, leading the way. A 'real' fan would just send a simple 'get well soon' message, but Skinny instead took to his computer to write, "It's a little odd to have "double pneumonia" in quotation marks. Is that the actual diagnosis or someone's description of an ailment? Either it's true or it's not. If it is double pneumonia, just say it is, rather than put it in quotes. Otherwise one interpretation would be "Oh, it feels like double pneumonia."

Skinny, who is the main moderator on the Solow website, seems to spend his whole life questioning and criticising EVERYTHING that Morrissey does, and only last week, when commenting on the forthcoming re-release of 'Playboys', Skinny wrote, "With the release of this issue, it pretty much means that the vault is empty as far as recorded unreleasable material goes." WHERE IS THE LOGIC IN THAT?

WHY does this wretched man bother running a Morrissey website, when it is obvious that he has completely fallen out of love with Morrissey, it just doesn't make sense.  On the other hand, Skinny just cannot heap enough sycophantic praise on Johnny Marr, and issued this statement last week, "Congratulations to Johnny for a great album." Skinny also posted a video of Marr singing 'Stop Me' and added, "This is pretty bloody special."

I have no reason to bash Johnny Marr, but his album ISN'T "great", it's an album that entered the charts last week at Number 10 on the back of him having been in The Smiths, and fell completely out of the Top 50 this week! "Great" albums don't do that, "great" albums hang around in the charts for more than one week. Marr's vocal version of 'Stop Me' is NOT "bloody special" either, it's "bloody murder". Brian May would never attempt to sing Freddie Mercury's, 'Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy', so Johnny Marr REALLY, REALLY shouldn't be attempting to sing Morrissey lyrics, he is doing NO justice to the song, and NO justice to his own abilities as a musician. The greatness of his guitar playing is overshadowed by the flat singing. Here is JM's 'Stop Me' from last week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRJDMaaUVrw.


THE MESSENGER - CRASHED OUT OF THE TOP 50 AFTER JUST 1 WEEK

I had vowed some time ago that I would never mention Uncle Sweaty again within this blogsite, but it is SO difficult whilst he continues to run the website which most Morrissey fans still tend to use, because Sweaty continues to censor and block ANYBODY who questions his comments or views. Sweaty's opinions are completely irrelevant, but unfortunately people look to him to tell them how they should interpret things. Former MorrisseysWorlders '@RosyMires' and '@StillICling' hang off his every word, whilst would be journalist 'Rob Pollard' (@_RobPollard) sent a tweet to Sweaty only yesterday asking, "@UncleSkinny Who do you contact about setting up one of these email interviews with Morrissey?" AS IF SKINNY WOULD KNOW, HE KNOWS NOTHING!


UNCLESWEATY - CONTINUES TO RIDICULE MORRISSEY BY SAYING "THE VAULT IS EMPTY", CALLS JOHNNY MARR'S NEW ALBUM "A GREAT", AND HAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE HANGING OFF HIS EVERY WORD


Rob Pollard tweeted me six months ago to say, "Anybody in the BlueRoseSociety who genuinely thought the MW blog was Morrissey himself doesn't  get him and should probably stop listening to him." He also tweeted, "BlueRoseSociety - the most laughable Twitter cult out there."

Since Pollard called the BRS "the most laughable cult", Morrissey has accepted a Blue Rose on stage at Radio City in October last year, has accepted a Blue Rose at San Diego in February this year, has accepted the Blue Rose Society Ring at Staples Center Los Angeles in front of 20,000 people and has accepted a Blue Rose at Hollywood High earlier this month. I had forgotten all about Pollard until last week, so I tweeted him to ask, "Hi Rod, still think MorrisseysWorld and the Blue Rose thing was a fake?" He replied, "You're so odd", which I guess means he has NO idea that Morrissey has accepted these roses, or he just cannot comprehend that it is true, having dismissed it first time around.

Pollard will never become a proper journalist, as he is unable to open his mind, but then again, very few journalists are 'proper'. I wrote a blog article about why BLUE ROSE and MW COULDN'T be fake six months ago to try and help Pollard understand a bit more, but he either didn't read it, or just didn't believe me. Do I think he will believe me now? No, because it would be a dent to his pride. Perhaps he would like to read it again, and then if he DOES manage to get himself an email interview with Morrissey, he would have some 'proper' questions to ask. Here is my article from six months ago: http://followingthemozziah.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/i-know-nothing-about-twitter-morrissey.html.


ROB POLLARD - STILL "A LAUGHABLE CU*T"?

And on the subject of poor journalists who can't do their jobs properly, the press world went mad yesterday with a number of headlines, including one by Alison Maloney (@AliMaloney) of The Sun, announcing, "Morrissey hospitalised with pneumonia", despite the TTY statement saying NOTHING of the sort. (See made up Sun story here: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/4835794/Morrissey-hospitalised-with-pneumonia.html).

I took to twitter to post, "80% of patients with double pneumonia DON'T require hospitalisation & are treated with antibiotics. Morrissey never said he was hospitalised." My observation was shortly followed by a tweet from Morrissey's PR spokesperson Lauren Papapietro (@laurnpapietro) who tweeted, "I wonder where people get their stories sometimes! Morrissey is not/was not hospitalized in San Francisco. Tour resumes 3/14 (sic, It's 14/3) @ Vive Latino."


ALISON MALONEY (SEATED) - MADE UP LIES


So, having spent most of this blog entry wasting my time writing about closed minded fools and liars, I have somewhat lost the energy to write about Morrissey's concert of last Friday in Portland, or update my readers on the latest situation regarding MorrisseysWorld. Actually, neither will take up much of my time as there is so little to report! The MW blog is still closed, and Morrissey has made NO attempt to claim back the '@MorrisseysWorld' twitter account from me, which means 'Fluff' remains in the dark, unable to carry out his chart duties.

The concert in Portland looks to have been completely missed by the users of Solow, with NOBODY listing the set list. The ONLY thing that Solow has remained useful for in the past four or five years has been the fact that it lists the set list, so now that it is unable to fulfill that simple function, it really IS dead. R.I.P Solow 1997-2013.

There is not a lot of footage on Youtube from Portland, but from the footage that IS there, it shows that it was once again another awesome concert, and nobody would have had a clue that Morrissey was feeling ill again. He must be dosing himself up to the eyeballs, just to get through these shows. Is it killing him? Quite probably, YES! Will he care? Quite probably, NO, singing live IS his life. On a couple of clips, you can actually see Boz Boorer watching Morrissey intently, which he doesn't normally do. Boz is obviously very concerned about Morrissey's health, but I would very much doubt that Morrissey listens to ANYBODY.


One particular thing that stands out from the video footage in Portland, is a solitary RED ROSE that can be seen swaying. I was not aware that any of the Blue Rose Society were going to be at Portland, so I have no idea who it was waving it, and I also have no idea as to whether or not Morrissey took the rose. Perhaps if the rose taker reads this blog, they will leave a comment below.

'One Day Goodbye Will be Farewell' was brought back into the set at Portland, a poignant reminder that we should make the most of every single precious moment that Morrissey is on stage. The pause during Speedway was 'Bengali In Platforms', a favourote of Kyle's dad.

Finally then for today, and probably the next few days, seeing as Morrissey doesn't return to the stage until the 14th, a BIG congratulations to BLUE ROSE SOCIETY member Marcus Markou (@PapaSonsFilm), whose debut film 'Papadopoulos and Sons' has just been bought by the BBC, we look forward to watching it later this year, after it has finished it's run at Cineworld cinemas, which starts in April.

I had hoped to publish a blog entry yesterday, but I was up and out early, and home late, so there was just no chance to finish what I had started to write. Broken had made a return to twitter on Wednesday, and I managed to copy a few of his quotes, but when I arrived back in the Twitterdilly Arms at midday today to copy the rest, the '@BrokenReturns' account had gone, so although I am aware he had written more, I don't have the quotes. I shall now edit what I had started to write yesterday, and cobble together the rest:

 Early Wednesday afternoon (Mexican time, late evening UK time), '@BrokenReturns' appeared on twitter for a while, asking, "I wonder -- will Moz give us another sign?" Just two hours later, it was announced that Morrissey had pulled out of headlining the Vive Latino Festival! So, does this mean that Broken really IS nothing to do with MorrisseysWorld, and the 'scammer' has at last been found out, or could it be, that at the time of Broken's visit to the Twitterdilly Arms, Morrissey still fully intend to carry on with his appearance at the festival, but something happened AFTER Broken's visit to 'The Arms' that forced Morrissey's withdrawal? The most likely explanation is an afternoon visit to the Doctor, who quite probably informed Moz that he REALLY MUSTN'T go ahead with the show.

DR HERNANDEZ LISTENING TO MOZZER'S CHEST ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON (AND 'YES', THAT 'REALLY' IS MOZ, NOTICE THE EYEBROWS AND CHIN. HIS RECENT ILLNESSES HAVE SENT THE INFAMOUS QUIFF INTO RECESSION)


Broken returned to twitter  early Thursday to announce, "BIG NEWS IMMINENT" and "MORRISSEY'S WORLD WILL BE COMING INTO VIEW ." Could these tweets mean the return of MW, and if so, then WHY would Broken have called it 'Morrissey's World" and not "MorrisseysWorld"? One thing I do know for sure, is that NOBODY has made any contact with me with regards to me returning the '@MorrisseysWorld' twitter account, so I have a distinct feeling that Morrissey's involvement with twitter, at least in the format of MW, is over!

One of Broken's tweets that I remember reading said something along the lines of, "Our Mozzer has closed the blog because none of you used the chatroom." Broken also tweeted that we should "look out for a vulgar picture and a cheap book", which could mean the autobiography is at last on it's way, but who knows? I did wonder if the "Big News" tweet may have meant that Moz was going to cancel the tour, but another of Broken's tweets said something like, "Morrissey will play the next concert even if he's crawling onto the stage and gasping for air."


MORRISSEY OUTSIDE THE LIBERTY TOWN HALL IN LAWRENCE, KANSAS - AND FOR HIS NEXT TRICK, HE WILL TRY TO CRAWL INSIDE, IN TIME FOR MONDAY'S CONCERT


So, as we await the "BIG NEWS" and the "coming into view" of "Morrissey's World", and "that crawl", let me catch up on other events. The Solowers' reaction to my last blog entry, was to resort to 'anonymous' name calling, and in the cases of former MorrisseysWorlder RosyMires and would be journalist Rod Pollard, a blocking for me on twitter. The reason that they resort to anonymous name calling and blocking, is because they are unable to logically debate, so they just pretend this isn't happening, and hope it will go away. With the disappearance of MorrisseysWorld and now Broken, they may have gotten their wish.

The whole phenomenon of MorrisseysWorld is, of course, just too much for the likes of RosyMires, Pollard and the Solowers to get their heads around. To her credit, RosyMires did once try to give a logical explanation to MorrisseysWorld on her website, 'MozWorldAintMoz.blogspot.com', but her reasoning was that ALL the 'signs' were just coincidental, and when it got to about 423,438 'coincidental' signs, she shut her website down, and went back to the 'hoping it will all just go away' strategy, whilst the other Solowers cling to the 'Moz just wouldn't' theory.

Unlike the Solowers, members of the Blue Rose Society are able to offer reasoned and logical arguments as to why MorrisseysWorld IS Morrissey, but not ALL the members of the 'BRS' believe that Morrissey is behind MorrisseysWorld, and yet STILL they are able to embrace BLUE ROSE for what it represents. This is best explained in a comment left on Wednesday by 'Chuck Norrissey', who obviously DOESN'T believe that Morrisseysworld is Morrissey, but feels that it HAS to be the work of somebody close to Moz, and has his full blessing. Here is 'Chuck's' comment, which also includes a fantastic view of 'Morrissey Fandom' and a superb explanation of how MorrisseysWorld has cured her own "over-the-top fandom", which I think many of us would agree with. (I have just re-read the last two paragraphs and I have started to referring to MW in the present tense again, what can it mean?)

Chuck Norrissey13 March 2013 18:46

Dear Anon, I will take the time and explain to you at length what I think about BRS.

No, I don't believe that Morrissey has a Twitter account or talks online in disguise. But people close to him do, or how do you explain the fact that he occasionally quotes Rat's blog on stage? I think it's obvious that he plays along, and I'm here because I'm somehow dragged towards everything connected with Morrissey. I don't think that's such an unusual thing as a fan. You assume that I secretly hope for Morrissey to recognise me at the next show I attend, and that he gives me an extra-lovely handshake? But of course I do! What's so abnormal about it? I'm a fan! But is that the reason why I'm here, or do I really believe that hanging around in BRS will make Morrissey my email-buddy one day? Please. I'm not completely deluded, I'm just having fun here. I don't have any other Morrissey fans in my life, apart from Facebook, which is a platform that I avoid as much as possible. But I love Twitter, Morrissey, Twin Peaks, and spotting lovely coincidences. I feel at home in BRS because it offers everything that I like, and it also comes with people who know how to behave.

I've brought up UncleSkinny because he's doing exactly what he accuses Rats of. He's telling everyone what to think about BRS, instead of letting people make up their own minds. Unlike Rats, who allows people to comment on his views, he's censoring opinions; I've experienced it myself. He reacts like Pavlov's dog, as soon as anyone mentions Blue Rose, and conditions others to do the same. It's stupidity combined with hatred. BRS is the very opposite of that.

As for the 99% online fans - I somehow doubt that you're their spokesperson, but let's assume that they are indeed alienated. I guess it's the confusion about whether Morrissey is involved or not. Confusion causes fear causes hate. Some people, especially solow-hardliners, are terribly serious about their fandom, without actually seeing it. They project their need for truthfulness and consistency on him, and get terribly angry when he behaves just like a human. Reality, and human beings, are rarely consistent. There's always several perspectives and views, which might even contradict each other and be true at the same time. This is what MorrisseysWorld - at least for me, personally - is all about. And also, in a strange way, the mere possibility that Morrissey himself might be around, cured me from my over-the-top-fandom. It's a very weird, yet understandable effect, if you think about it. You cannot enjoy BRS when you care too much about what Morrissey might think about you. When you're simply yourself, without hoping that you could ever impress Morrissey, and when at some point you don't even care anymore, then you truly have found the key to be a very happy MorrisseysWorlder. Going through this whole journey has made me a stronger personality. I hope you understand why I'm so fond of it.

You won't find true Morrissey obsessives here, because obsession is selfishness in combination with projection of one's own needs, and has little to do with the object of obsession itsself. The true obsessives are on solow. Here are the true fans. They need him more than they love him, and we're the other way around. Yes we might be wacky, so what, some people never fit in anywhere, that's probably one reason why they're Morrissey fans, but at least we're not hateful towards him or each other. In earlier times of BRS, I also felt a bit repelled by the religious character, but then realised that the problem was on my side, as explained above. Since I see it simply as fun, everything's fine. I'm aware that we look like Brian's followers from the outside, with the signs and coincidences, but please just accept that most of us have a lot of humour, and don't be confused if you see some people waving blue toothbrushes at a Morrissey show in the future. I might be one of them.

CHUCK NORRISSEY (AKA SMALLBOYJOKES) UNDERSTANDS BLUE ROSE AND EXPLAINS WHAT IT MEANS

The only thing that I don't agree with 'Chuck' about in her letter to 'Anon', is that Morrissey himself was not the person behind MW, I 100% believe it was him, as there is just NO way that anybody else could have written the things he wrote, and there is NO way that Morrissey was just playing along. (I have just read back that last sentence and noticed that I have started to use MorrisseysWorld in the past tense, which suggests that I am telling myself it's over!)


THOSE 'CLOSE TO MOZ' ENJOY A TEQUILA IN MEXICO, BUT IS ONE OF THEM THE AUTHOR OF MORRISSEYSWORLD? NO CHANCE!


After I had written in my last blog entry about Rod Pollard seeking an emil interview with Morrissey, Morrissey's publicist, Lauren P, tweeted Pollard and Skinny, to give them her email address. Meanwhile, Broken tweeted something like, "Moz will never give ROB pollard an email interview but he may give one to John ROBB!" Pollard replied to Broken, but as he has blocked me, I have NO idea what the tweet said, but as it looks as though Pollard won't be getting an interview, I have written a parody one for him instead:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROB POLLARD'S INTERVIEW WITH MORRISSEY 

It is June 2013, Morrissey has just returned to England from his tour of the USA and is sat in the 'Hand in Hand' pub in Wimbledon Village, London. Sat opposite him is journalist, Rob Pollard, who had requested an email interview with Morrissey via Morrissey's PR company, but, much to his surprise and jubilation, has instead been chosen by Morrissey to be the first person to interview him in the flesh since 2007.

POLLARD: Thank you so much for choosing me to be the first person to interview you properly in the last six years, can I ask why you chose me?

MORRISSEY: You once said of Mike Joyce, (picks up a piece of paper with his own child like scrawl on it and reads) "The guy's a prick. Constantly on the radio like the spokesman for The Smiths when the reality is if there were to be a reformation, he would be the last person to know."

POLLARD: Er, yes, yes I did, but what, I mean, why, er....

MORRISSEY: Have you anymore questions?

POLLARD: (flustered) Er, yes, quite a few, but, er, I wrote that quote on the Morrissey Solo website, I thought you didn't like it?

MORRISSEY: I don't!

POLLARD: Then why do you read it?

MORRISSEY: I don't, but why are you a member of it?

POLLARD: Well, because I'm a huge fan of yours and it's the place where all of your fans go.

MORRISSEY: But you just pointed out that I hate it, so why would you want to associate yourself with it?

POLLARD: Er, I don't, I mean, I very rarely post anything on there.

MORRISSEY: And yet you remain friends with the moderator, despite the fact that I have made it very plain that I despise the place. I have worn a t-shirt on stage which read 'Fuck Morrissey-Solo.com', I have banned the site owner from my concerts for life and in a recent interview with the Pittsburgh Post, I labelled Solow a "hateful online creche", so 'surely' you can see that I would prefer my true fans not to use this site? (pauses) Perhaps this interview isn't such a good idea after all (gets up to leave).

POLLARD: (panicking) Er, no, sorry, I  never realised...... I won't use solo again, I promise!

MORRISSEY: (sitting back down) I had a feeling you'd say that.

POLLARD: (trying to compose himself) I read that Pittsburgh interview, and when you described Solo as a "hateful online creche", you also said, "I read nothing online", but that obviously can't be true, you obviously 'do' read things, otherwise how would you know what they've been saying?

MORRISSEY: Are you calling me a liar?

POLLARD: (panicking) NO! No, definitely not, but you do sometimes seem to contradict yourself.

MORRISSEY: Life is one big contradiction.

POLLARD: Er yes, I suppose it is. Can we start the interview now?

MORRISSEY: Start? That's the fifth question you've asked me already, so we are hardly 'starting' are we? You asked Johnny Myrrh eleven questions in your recent interview with him, so to keep an even balance, you may ask me eleven too. You have six left.

POLLARD: (sounding pleased and surprised) You read my Johnny Marr interview?

MORRISSEY: A poor choice for question number six Rob, old son, especially as I have already stated that I have!

POLLARD: But did you like the interview?

MORRISSEY: The typeset was pleasing to the eye. Question eight?

POLLARD: This isn't going as I'd planned, there were so many things I wanted to ask you, but I seem to have been distracted. I'm still feeling a little confused about the fact that you read things on line, when you said in an interview that you don't. 

MORRISSEY: Next you'll be saying those statements I made on True To You about me having nothing to do with MorrisseysWorld were a lie too!

POLLARD: Oh god no! I KNOW full well that the whole MorrisseysWorld thing wasn't anything to do with you, it was the work of a liar. (Morrissey licks his top lip and takes a sip of his gin)

MORRISSEY: How can you be one hundred percent sure that I wasn't involved?

POLLARD: I've been a fan of yours for over twenty years AND I own every Smiths record that was ever released, I just KNOW that you wouldn't do it.

MORRISSEY: But what about all those roses I accepted on stage whilst I ignored all other flowers?

POLLARD: I've never noticed any roses. I went to your concert in Manchester and there were no roses there.

MORRISSEY: I have been given a number of roses in recent months, I thought you said you were a fan, do you not watch my concerts on Youtube?

POLLARD: Er, no, I, er, I... er, I've been ever so busy lately.

MORRISSEY: (looks at watch) This pub is starting to get busy the Wimbledon tennis must be finishing.

POLLARD: (sounding very excited) Oh god, tennis is my life, do YOU like tennis?

MORRISSEY: No! Right, three questions left, let's see what you've got.

POLLARD: Well, I won't ask you the usual cliche questions, I'm sure you don't want me to ask you about a Smiths reunion?

MORRISSEY: No, but you've now asked me if I'd like to have been asked, which seems a dreadful waste of a question, but it's your interview, so who am I to tell you what to ask. Nobody should be told anything, we should keep our minds open and find answers for ourselves. Am I starting to sound like Morrissey's World?

POLLARD: I don't know, I never read it, Uncle Skinny told me not to. Can I talk to you about politics?

MORRISSEY: Yes, but you've now only got one question remaining, so I would avoid the temptation to mention my previous referral to UKIP or to ask me if I agree with Johnny's view that MP's should be elected via an X Factor style poll, and ask something juicy. (Pollard scribbles out his question).

POLLARD: Johnny Marr told me in my interview with him that, and I quote, "I don't know what Morrissey's doing but I'm behind it", what do you think he meant?

MORRISSEY: Perhaps he meant that both he and I have secretly been behind MorrisseysWorld! Now, wouldn't THAT be a twist?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One other tweet that I can remember Broken posting yesterday, was about Our Mozzer leaving a comment on, "that rodent's blog"! Here is the comment:

Morrissey14 March 2013 22:59

This world is a never ending cascade of disappointments, trials and stonings, with the faint hope of peace lighting the way like a thin candle. We try because we must, not because we dare; we cry because we must, not because we care; and we live because we must, not because of prayer.

I wish you all a joyful evening or, if joy is not attainable, at least an early sleep.

I love you all these quiet, disconsolate nights.

Fake, as ever,

Our Mozzer

Broken also tweeted to mention that the comment was aimed at Solow. Having been out all day yesterday, I had not read anything on Solow, but I have just taken a look, and they have fallen to new depths of depravity. The topic of conversation was focused around the apparent suicide of a Morrissey fan called Margaret Dale, who Morrissey had written a beautiful eulogy about on True To You. Rather than praise Morrissey for taking the time to write a touching tribute to a dedicated fan, the Solowers ripped Morrissey to pieces and danced on Margaret's grave. Rather than delete the vile filth that was being written, the moderators left EVERYTHING, all in the name of 'Freedom of Speech', DESPITE continuing to delete all reference to the Blue Rose Society. I have no idea who Margaret was, but what a shame she never found BLUE ROSE, it might have been just what she needed.

So, is MorrisseysWorld over for good, and did we ever manage to get to the bottom of the '@MorrisseysMum' twitter account, which was initially advertised for months and months on the MorrisseysWord blog, before Our Mozzer completely 'U' turned and accused the owner of being Uncle Skinny? The 'Mum' account yesterday posted a number of photos from Mexico and then instructed '@Banjaxer' to get on a plane. What could it all mean? Is Morrissey about to start wearing a BLUE ROSE? Kyle's dad has suggested it would kill Solow. Make no mistake, SOMETHING is brewing!

I will finish with the final three tweets of Broken's that I can remember, which include one to Marcus 'Papa Blue Rose' Markou, which said:
 "Make the film of MorrisseysWorld!" Here are the other two:

 "MorrisseysWorld changed us all."

 "Fare Thee Well."

And "Fare Thee Well" from me too, but will I be back, or is the journey over?

It has been a week since my last blog entry, and yet it feels so much longer. I have become so used to writing 'Following The Mozziah' on a daily basis over the last eighteen months, that to suddenly stop, has left me a little in limbo. I have kept a daily lookout to see if either the MorrisseysWorld blog or '@BrokenReturns' have returned, but they haven't, and my gut feeling is that the MorrisseysWorld story is over. I decided not to do my traditional Top 10 Chart on Tuesday, because if the MW phenomenon IS over, there is no point in trying to drag the whole MW experience out, I have to just appreciate it for the awesome experience that it was, accept that it's over, and move on.

This could of course just be a pause in the MW story, but for now, I am going to take some literal time by the pool, and after my pool time, I will only return to write this blog if anything happens to re-ignite the MorrisseysWorld phenomenon.


MORRISSEY TAKING POOL TIME



Hours after I posted my blog entry of last Friday, Morrissey issued an announcement saying that the whole of the USA tour was cancelled due to his "ongoing medical problems." It has been reported by Manc Lad that Morrissey is now back in Britain, where hopefully he will be able to get complete rest.

Before flying home, if indeed he really is back in Britain, and if indeed he considers Britain 'home', Morrissey gave an interview to a radio station in Mexico, but as far as I am aware, there were no 'signs' relating to MorrisseysWorld, so I won't pick through the bones of the interview here. One thing that I will mention though, is that Morrissey said that he had been "cautioned" to retire from singing live, which Johnny Marr's mates at the NME subsequently turned into a sensational headline, despite the fact that Morrissey also said, "I'm very optimistic now." Once again it is poor journalism, but what else should we expect from such a trashy rag whose opinions are worthless?


MORRISSEY (LEFT) AND RULO, THE MEXICAN INTERVIEWER



MORRISSEY AND RULO WITHOUT THEIR HATS ON


If MorrisseysWorld doesn't return, I will at some stage write a blog entry charting my eighteen month journey of 'FollowingTheMozziah', but in the meantime, it would be great to read from all the other people who have also been on this journey, so, whether you are a member of either the 'Deluded Dozen', or the 'Blue Rose Society', please use the comment section below to tell YOUR story of MorrisseysWorld.

And on the subject of  the 'Deluded Dozen' and 'The Blue Rose Society', as I see it, the main difference is that the 'Deluded Dozen' are the ones who wholeheartedly believe that Morrissey was (is?) the author of MorrisseysWorld, whereas the BRS members don't necessarily believe, but still likes the idea of Blue Rose. It would be great to know how each person sees it.

Please let your story spill out while it is fresh in your mind, because in years to come, it will be a distant memory, and we will no doubt all ask ourselves, 'Did that REALLY happen?' It DID, and we were there.

Whether or not MorrisseysWorld returns, the Blue Rose Society must NEVER die, and when Morrissey starts touring again, which he will, it is imperative that we take roses galore...... BECAUSE WE MUST!

Now, where's that pool?




VIVA BLUE ROSE

When I posted my blog entry of eight days ago, I really did believe that 'Our Mozzer' had gone forever, and that I had written my last entry regarding the whole MorrisseysWorld phenomenon, but as I packed my bags to head off on holiday, the mysterious 'Broken' left a message on my blog, and then the following day, Saturday 25th, Morrissey left a message on my blog too, asking me to interview him! Unfortunately, I just didn't have the time to put together an interview, but I tweeted to invite the Blue Rose Society to ask some questions, and off I set on my well deserved holiday.

Morrissey23 March 2013 11:25

Our Mozzer would like it known he will be doing one final interview for TRB's semi-mesmerizing Blog thing.

The conditions are as follows:

1 It must be published in full with no errors
2 Our Mozzer only answers interesting questions
3 thirty mesmerizing questions must be posed and some of these must be original and previously unasked
4 some of the questions must come from other BRS members
5 No questions must be asked about: (a) The Smiths or (b) the artiste's personal life

Later on that Saturday, Morrissey add the following to my blog:

Morrissey23 March 2013 14:19

Regardless of the questions posed, Our Mozzer has asked me to inform you he will be selecting a few questions of his own and he encourages you to leave them here, on the FollowingTheMozziah thing.

Our Mozzer chortled to himself at the following question:

"Climmy Worseapple23 March 2013 13:49
Sometimes, when I cry, I sit with a mirror before me and imagine that I am my own nonexistent disillusioned long-term partner, looking with scorn at my puffy, leaking face - immune to the rotting diseases of affection and empathy for "myself" thanks to a tough course of painful injections and some hard-earned antibodies. Can you recommend a song I can listen to while I do this?"

In between mouthfuls of red pepper and aubergine hummus, Our Mozzer stated: "Some of those c*nts wouldn't know a good question if it slapped them in the Barrett's oesophagus; on the other hand, Climmy Worseapple clearly does."

Our Mozzer took one bite out of his pink dessert apple before discarding it and rolling his eyes. Then he sighed: "Don't trust Rat with the questions, old son - we need to be a little more discerning than that. So I'll retain absolute executive control over the interview, while creating the illusion of democracy... democracy has f***ed up more than enough Morrissey interviews, thank you very much."

On the Saturday evening, Morrissey1959 paid a visit to the MorrisseysWorld chatroom, where he chatted to Chuck and Lizzy, and made some interesting revelations, including that his favourite Radiohead album is The Bends, calling 'Creep' iconic. He added that Radiohead had admitted that The Bends was basically a cover of Vauxhall and I. Also on the subject of Vauxhall and I, M said, " V and I is beautiful but it's soft. I can churn out V and I songs in my sleep... I'm going for something a little more thrusting." M1959 also revealed that he thought Morrisseysworld had been a mistake, and that he had wasted thousands of hours on it. Moz added that Ricky Gervais had written some of the parody sketches! Could this REALLY be true?

I have to say, when I read comments on my blog from people with names like 'Climmy Worseapple', it does make me wonder if Gervais, Brand etc are far more involved with Morrisseysworld than we think, and when I see the likes of 'Fancy123' subtly, and quite hilariously, changing the name Worseapple to Whorseapple, my suspicions are raised even further. It is still a DISTINCT POSSIBILITY that many of Morrissey's friends and entourage are involved in the whole MorrisseysWorld phenomenon, and 'characters' such as the misspelling 'Romina', the previously mentioned American grandmother 'Fancy123', the ridiculously intellectual 'Menippus' and the gay, football loving 'Broken', could ALL be either friends or employees of Moz, or they could all of course, just be genuine Morrissey fans. Could Morrissey's bodyguard, Liam Nammock, pass away his spare time by being a 'character'? And IS Morrissey's hairdresser, Damon the Kevin Phillips lookalike, playing the role of 'Broken'? Who knows? Will we EVER know?


RICKY GERVAIS - INVOLVED IN MW?



THE TWITTER PROFILE OF FANCY123 - JUST AN EVERYDAY GRANNY FROM THE AMERICAN MID WEST?


Our Mozzer also revealed to Chuck and Lizzy, that he had recently purchased an Aston Martin Virage, but again, is this true? Another revelation from the Saturday night chat, was that Moz had insisted on Letterman introducing him as, "iconic", and he added that NONE of us had picked up on this, and that he should have got Letterman to say "seminal artiste" instead, to make it more obvious.


ASTON MARTIN VIRAGE - OWNED BY THE MOZ?

Here are some more of the highlights from Morrissey1959's chat session of last Saturday. Unfortunately people quite often don't bother taking notes from these chat sessions, which is all well and good, and keeps it very personal, but if the same thing had happened when old JC was walking the earth, then NOBODY would have known about the fishes and the loaves, the curing of the sick, and his little ding dong with Mary Mag! What is more, ALL of the gospels would have had to have been completely made up! May I urge ANYBODY who happens to find themselves in the chatroom with Morrissey to PLEASE TAKE NOTES and then post them on the world's Number 1 Morrissey Blogsite thing, 'FollowingTheMozziah'! Thank you. For those who know nothing of the MorrisseysWorld chatroom, it can be found here: http://chatroll.com/morrisseysworld-chat. It used to live at the bottom of the MW blogsite, but since that no longer exists, it just sits in cyberspace, waiting for somebody to pop in.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Morrissey1959 announced that both the MW blog and the twitter account were finished, saying, "Tweeting as MorrisseysWorld tomorrow would be like David Bowie slipping back into his Ziggy outfit and singing Starman with all the passion and conviction of an accountant with piles and a deadline. The blog and twitter are dead. Long live the chat room!"

"I promise at least two leisure centres in the UK in 2013."

At 9pm, M1959 posted a Youtube clip of Morrissey singing 'Pashernate Love' at the Shoreline Amphitheater in California from 1991. He then added, "Oh but Morrissey wouldn't look at Youtube. That's what they said of me until I mentioned Youtube in an interview."

In reply to being asked why people think they know what he would or wouldn't do, "I am the most open singer in pop history and I have said more than enough for seven lifetimes; consequently, people feel they are part of my life. They feel they are a part of me and I an a part of them. This is a consequence of being as open as a child and as complicated as a killer. Becoming an icon is similar to dying. In the end, you only exist as an image."

Somebody called 'Urban' then turned up in the chatroom, which annoyed both Lizzy and Chuck. To those who have ever been in the MW chatroom, they will probably be aware that Urban is somebody who just types meaningless nothings and obscenities, but I have often wondered if this is actually a Morrissey 'character', almost like a lunatic locked away in an asylum. Lizzy and Chuck got annoyed that Urban had arrived to spoil their intimate chat, but M1959 wrote, "Urban is human. He lacks love. Perhaps we should show him a faint flicker of affection." Urban then wrote that one of the girls' c*nts was full of VD, and Moz banned him! I suppose affection can only be stretched so far!

Despite me not being in the chat room, I apparently still managed to get a mention from Morrissey1959, with him saying, "TheRatsBack will change the nature of Western culture. He is destined to change the world, and he will do so by changing Sandown pier." I should add that I have no immediate plans to change; Western culture, the world OR Sandown pier!


SANDOWN PIER - NO CHANGE


Having purposely taken myself away from the internet, for a week of relaxation, I was blissfully unaware of anything going on in the world of Morrissey, but on Wednesday, I took a very quick sneak into the Twitterdilly Arms. I was surprised to see that Morrissey had turned up in Ireland to watch a football match the previous evening with his cousin Robbie Keane, and I also was informed by Heathercat that Our Mozzer was growing impatient for the interview questions. She pointed me in the direction of the following posting that had been left on my blog, in the early hours of Tuesday morning:

Morrissey26 March 2013 06:23

When I informed Our Mozzer that the interview questions still aren't published, he replied: "Give an obese rat a rice cake and he thinks he's a serious talk radio journalist."

Later Our Mozzer stated: "The c*nt had better get a move on. I've blacklisted journalists before for turning up on-time. One expects a little more politeness as a seminal artiste."

'R'

MOZ IS SERVED TEA BY KEVIN PHILLIPS AT THE IRELAND MATCH, MUCH TO THE AMUSEMENT OF COUSIN ROBBIE


MOZ SIPS CHAMPAGNE WITH COUSIN ROBBIE



According to reports on twitter, Broken was tweeting during the Ireland game, which some took as proof that Broken ISN'T Morrissey, but Morrissey1959 once told us in the chat room that he IS Broken, and I'm sure that he would NEVER make things like that up! Before I returned to the swimming pool on Wednesday, I sent Broken a tweet apologizing for the delay with the interview, and told him that I would post it at the weekend. I then had no further contact with the outside world whilst I was away.

On my return home yesterday, I found the following posted on my blog from Wednesday evening:

Morrissey27 March 2013 20:35

Our Mozzer would like it known the offer of an exclusive thirty question interview for Following The Mozziah has been retracted.

Our Mozzer instructed me to inform you all that he apologises for this but unfortunately the pecuniary offer from FTM was grossly inadequate for an artiste of his calibre.

Our Mozzer muttered as poured himself some Ceylon: "That b*****d blogger has no respect for his elders. I wonder if it's that c*** from the NME behind it all?"

The interview offer had been retracted! Interestingly, the retraction comment was posted at 8.35pm on Wednesday evening. The reason I say 'interestingly', is because there would appear to have been much excitement on twitter on Wednesday night, with a number of people speculating that Morrissey was at Johnny Marr's concert in Dublin. Morrissey apparently sent a denial via our very own Manclad, informing him that he was dining at Claridges with Cousin Robbie! I have NO idea if Moz popped in to say hello to Johnny or if he was indeed dining with Robbie, but at 8.35pm, he was doing NEITHER, he was writing on my blog!


CLARIDGES IN DUBLIN


On the subject of Johnny Marr, I had a text this morning from my New York travelling companion, 'Midlife Matt', which said, "In disagreement over your review of Johnny Marr album. Obviously the words are embarrassingly bad at points but I really like the music. STS and I very much enjoyed the Shepherds Bush gig." WHERE is the disagreement? I totally agree that Johnny is a great musician and that the lyrics are bad! That's an AGREEMENT, not a disagreement.

Whilst I was away, the '@BrokenReturns' twitter account obviously re-opened, having closed down before I went, but I have returned to find that it is once again closed, so I am unable to see what he posted while I was away.

According to some comments that I have read, 'Morrissey1959' MAY have been in the chat room again on Thursday night, but if he was, NOBODY has left any notes of anything that was said. I must once again re-iterate, PLEASE don't keep things to yourselves, if Morrissey tells you something, however trivial it may seem, then share it, because one day, this blog WILL be read by ALL those fans who have missed out on the whole MW phenomenon, and they will want to know EVERYTHING!

A total of 165 comments were left on my blog whilst I was away, many from the Blue Rosers and Deluded Dozen, telling their stories of MorrisseysWorld, but there were also a number of other comments, including an anonymous one as follows:

Anonymous26 March 2013 22:59

why are people missing all the signs? MW twitter mentioned indecent books months ago and Morrissey quoted MW yet again. Isn't rat supposed to notice these signs?

DID MorrisseysWorld REALLY tweet about 'indecent books', as recently mentioned by Morrissey? I can't be expected to notice EVERYTHING, I just can't, it's impossible!

So, where do we go from here? Our Mozzer has said that the MW blog and twitter accounts won't be returning, Broken has gone, although many people no longer believe Morrissey is Broken anyway, the MW chat room remains fairly unused, and when it is used, nobody is reporting what is said. Have we reached the end?

With the MorrisseysWorld blog closed and the MorrisseysWorld twitter account now permanently gone, the ONLY way of Morrissey communicating with the BlueRoseSociety is via his chat room, and yesterday he did just that....... unfortunately, those present decided that although the chat room is a public forum, they do not wish to share their 'personal' conversation with either the outside world, or the rest of the BRS, so when historians ask, "what did Morrissey say?", the answer will remain unknown.

Lizzycatmoz3 April 2013 11:56

Cor blimey what larks we had in the chat room with the Mozziah last night.
It was a lengthy session on and off for about four hours.
Methinks this was because Our Moz was also watching the footie on ITV, but I
could be wrong !!

Much was divulged and all of it was very interesting. However I promised myself
not to report on the details as did other members of 'Blue Rose ' who were present.

Suffice to say, eternal thanks to M1959 who is always entertaining and more to
the point honest and uncompromising. Could it be that I like you ?

Chuck Norrissey

I feel the same as Lizzy when it comes to taking notes in the chat. What happens in chat stays in chat, you're either there or not, and the only thing I'll tell in the future are predictions made by Our Mozzer, because that's the only part of interest for the rest of the world. Everything else is private!

Luckily for the BRS and historians alike, I 'sneaked a peek' into The Mozziah's small white room, with a notebook and pen clutched in my rat like claw. Also, JJazmine leant in through a window with her camera. If it hadn't been for the journalistic instincts of myself and JJazmine, then NOBODY would get to know of Our Mozzer's preachings.


JJAZMINE AND RAT ARE CHASED OUT OF THE SECRET MW ROOM BY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BRS


I suggest that Lizzycatmoz and Chuck Norrissey don't read on, but of course they will, and I repeat my plea of the other day, PLEASE take notes, and share the word of The Mozziah/Our Mozzer with everybody, I'm sure he won't mind, the BRS WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE SAYS! Here is JJ's photo from yesterday:






I can also reveal that Morrissey1959 wrote, "I'm playing England soon. Just a few shows. I might book a large venue, 30,000, with P.Smith, Young and the Giant and Kristeen Young." He added, "God I'm deluding myself. I almost thought I WAS Morrissey just then. *wipes his brow with a cold flannel and juts out his jaw*"


OUR MOZZER WITH HIS TRADE MARK HEART SHAPE - PLANNING A LARGE UK CONCERT


Morrissey1959 also wrote:

"MorrisseysWorld shows us that not everything is as it seems. It also gives a faint flicker of amusement to a tiny group of people. It also fills my listless days and empty nights. MorrisseysWorld is humiliating, degrading and crass, and there's three fabulous reasons to love it. It's pure 'Carry On'. If I'm willing to write Girlfriend in a Coma, why not create MorrisseysWorld?"

HIRSUTE GENIUS, TALBOT ROTHWELL - WRITER OF THE 'CARRY ON' SCRIPTS



I missed an awful lot of what M1959 revealed in yesterday's chat, so unless Lizzy, Chuck, or any others post a comment below, we will NEVER know. I did read that Our Mozzer was having a go at people's obsession with celebrities such as David & Victoria and Brad & Angelina, and he also added, "dare I say, Russell and Katy." I also read a conversation between M1959 and somebody with the user name 'Solo', but I didn't have the chance to take any notes. The basic gist was that 'Solo' was having a go at Morrissey regarding the quality of his more recent songs, and 'Solo' also moaned that Morrissey preached about being gentle and kind, and yet continuously laid into various people. I was unable to hang around to see if M1959 responded, can ANYBODY fill in the gaps?

M1959 also once again mentioned that Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand, and the mysterious 'Broken' were all involved in the writing of the MorrisseysWorld blog, and he added that the admin guy, known as 'R', IS....... Russell Brand.


RG AND R 'R' B - MORRISSEYSWORLD WRITERS

When asked whether Banjaxer was the twitter user '@MorrisseysMum', Morrissey1959 wrote, "Jan Baxer? He once interviewed me. That is all I know of him." This isn't of course 'entirely' true, as Our Mozzer revealed in an early MorrisseysWorld piece entitled, 'Minutes of Bans and Concert Ejections Committee - 16/8/2011', that Banjaxer was a paid employee. What is more, Banjaxer was tweeting from the Ireland v Austria football match last week, so WAS he with Morrissey? There has been previous reference in my blog to Banjaxer taking Moz to a football match, the Man City v Wigan game last season (see here: http://followingthemozziah.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/following-mozziah-day-125-tuesday-17th.html), so what IS Banjaxer's relationship with Moz?

BANJAXER, WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE MORRISSEY'S SCRIBBLE ON HIS WOODCHIP WALL, BUT M1959 CLAIMS TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM..... MORRISSEY ALSO ONCE INFAMOUSLY CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TWITTER! HMM



More from Morrissey1959, this time on the subject of the MorrisseysWorld blog. May I once again remind my regular readers, YOU WOULD KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THESE QUOTES IF EVERYBODY KEEPS THE CHATS TO THEMSELVES!!!: "It is a little known fact that nobody read the Alexis Petridis article until 2011. It had been online since 2009."


ALEXIS 'SHITTY CARPET' PETRIDIS - NOBODY INTERESTED IN HIM


My final quote taken Morrissey1959, was again taken from his discussion about the MorrisseysWorld blog articles: "My all-time favourites were the New Mozzer Order chapter and probably the first X Factor one."

Despite NOBODY leaving any quotes from the chat on my last blog entry, Romina left the following, rather interesting comment, about Damon the hairdresser:

romina3 April 2013 10:28

About names and surnames I've to say that I saw the famous hairdresser more than one time, and I don't remember where, I read his surename "Anacreonte", typical surname from the South of Italy, Calabria or Sicily, I don't know, anyway he looks like a fine person. 

Is Romina trying to subtly tell us that SHE is Damon, or am I just far too suspicious toward this Italian housewife and mother?



DAMON 'KEVIN PHILLIPS' ANACREONTE (FAR RIGHT.... NO, NOT 'FAR RIGHT' AS IN PAOLO DI CANIO, I MEAN 'FAR RIGHT' IN THE PICTURE... NOT THAT I AM IMPLYING THAT PAOLO DI CANIO IS A MEMBER OF ANY FAR RIGHT MOVEMENT, HE'S JUST A FOOTBALL MANAGER.... YOU ARE TWISTING MY WORDS IN YOUR HEAD AS YOU READ THIS, PLEASE STOP!)

Following Romina's revelation about Damon's surname, I googled him. According to the infamous website, 'ThisIsGloucsterhire.co.uk', Damon Anacreonte works (or at least did work) at  'The Barber Shop' in Cheltenham. TIG (This Is Gloucester, please keep up!) also mentions that Damon is the crew hairdresser for Morrissey and his band when they are on tour, and he used to work at 'The Refinery' in Mayfair, and also in Harrods. Damon gave an interview to TIG in 2010, and boasted "I've shaved the British cycling team and the English rugby team and lots of other famous names. I also did beard design for actor Christopher Lee."

 Many Moz fans will recognise Damon as the man given the job of 'wafting' Morrissey with a towel during the 'Studio In Session' recording with Tony Visconti. 
MORRISSEY AND DAMON THE; TOWEL WAFTING, TEA SERVING, HAIR STYLING, BEARD DESIGNING, KEVIN PHILLIPS LOOK-A-LIKE WITH THE ITALIAN SURNAME

I have no idea if I will be writing another blog entry again any time soon, I suppose it depends if there is any more activity from Our Mozzer, but I have just read on the twitter feed of the BRS Vice President, Angela 'Vulgar' Reyes, that M1959 popped back into the MW chatroom in the early hours of this morning, and declared that he won't be returning again! He also apparently said that he would wear the Blue Rose Ring. Let's hope the former is "typical me, typical me, typical me", and that the latter is true, although I think he would have to have the ring slightly enlarged if he is serious about wearing it, as it's a bit tight. In fact, the actual silk (?) Blue Rose could do with being reset into a nice piece of gold as opposed to the cheap tinny thing it currently sits upon.


THE BLUE ROSE RING - TIGHT AND TINNY

Just in case this is my last blog entry for a while, I must mention that Morrissey is going to be on tv next  week, being interviewed by Victoria Wood about tea. Regular readers of FTM will recall that I wrote a rather hilarious 'spoof interview' between the two last October, BEFORE the actual interview took place. Six days ago, an anonymous person left a comment on my 'spoof interview' blog entry, to say that my interview was "uncannily accurate." Morrissey himself also left a comment on my blog that day, as follows:

Morrissey9 October 2012 19:53

I got a little somethin' for ya
(I got a little somethin' for you)
Na na na na na na na na na

I got a little somethin' for you
I got a little somethin' for you
Ain't that thoughtful of me
Ya know I been wanting
I been really wanting
To give this to you

Could Morrissey 'possibly' have taken something from my 'spoof interview' and included it in the 'actual interview'? We shall have to keep our eyes peeled to next weeks programme. Here is my spoof interview: http://followingthemozziah.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/day-391-tea-for-two-and-two-for-tea.html


MOZ IN ONE OF TODAY'S NATIONAL RAGS

Well, that's it for today, a day in which the BBC have announced that Britain has a new 'Seven Tier Class System'. I am apparently one of Britain's 'elite class' (of course!), which according to the BBC, is "an exclusive group that is very hard to join.' I am far more suited to the Blue Rose Society, "an inclusive group that is very easy to join..... if you can find it!"

*Goes off singing* Hirsute, not parted, typical me, typical me, typical me, I started something..... And now I'm not too sure.

This morning I have passed my cricket umpiring exam, which coupled with the BBC yesterday declaring that I am a member of the British 'elite class', means that life is pretty good. Add to this the fact that the cricket season starts next week, and the football team I manage will be playing in a cup final later this month, then I could even go as far as to declare that I feel distinctly 'chipper'. If I were to add in that I have managed to give up work again, then some might say that my life is perfect, especially as six months ago I was laying on my back having life saving heart surgery..... but there is just one little problem, my every waking hour revolves around the dictations of a hairy backed bedsit dweller, who insists he is NOT Morrissey!

Yesterday, NotMorrissey, using the name 'Morrissey', posted a message in the comments section of my blog, which incidentally has now been officially recognised as the NUMBER 1 Morrissey blog on the internet*. Here is the comment:

Morrissey3 April 2013 18:17

Our Mozzer would like it known he is extremely disappointed with the way his chat session has been reported here. Our Mozzer took the time to slip briefly into character with the comments photographed above about the various signs and, actually, explained that he was not Morrissey. He also explained that - yes, strangely - it did often seem Morrissey might even be playing along, looking at all the signs.

However, the report above, with selective reporting, implies Our Mozzer claimed to be Morrissey. However, Our Mozzer has gone to great lengths, with at least twenty blog posts, over fifty tweets and comments on every single occasion he has been in the chat room, including last night, that he is NOT Morrissey.

Curiously, this has not been reported at all.

Our Mozzer finds tabloid journalism quite distasteful and would like it known that he will be severing his ties with Following The Mozziah with immediate effect unless the aforementioned observations and concerns are immediately remedied with the relevant information included in the Blog post or re-posted in a new item for clarification.

Our Mozzer would like it known he will be seeking legal advice regarding this matter unless this step is taken within a reasonable time frame.

Our Mozzer, who says on every occasion he enters chat that he is NOT Morrissey, would also like it known that he might be willing to answer the 30 question interview if the aforementioned is rectified in a timely manner and if 30 questions from numerous BRS members are posted by TRB within two working days.

Our Mozzer complained, while brushing his quiff, "That sorry c*nt needs to get a handle on whom he is dealing with. I'm not Gary Barlow, and I'm certainly not Nathan from The Wanted; I'm Morrissey: seminal artiste, iconic star, poet, literary pretender and dashing playboy of ambiguous gender. What are you waiting for? Blog a narky message to the b******d! And please remove your dreary self from my dressing room immediately! Boz...! Boz....!"

'R'

GARY BARLOW - NOT NOTMORRISSEY


So, Our Mozzer is "severing his ties with Following The Mozziah" unless I cobble something together to point out that he ISN'T Morrissey! If he'd bothered to read my hilarious blog piece of yesterday IN FULL, he would have noticed that immediately following the photographed comments from the chatroom, I had added the piece of transcript which read, "God I'm deluding myself. I almost thought I WAS Morrissey then." Now, if THAT isn't making it clear that he ISN'T Morrissey, and that Our Mozzer is just a 'Parody Morrissey', then I don't know what is!

 It is obvious to me that Our Mozzer DOESN'T actually read my blog at all, he just has one of his 'staff' read it to him, and he either doesn't really listen properly whilst it's being read to him, or he tells the staff member to skip through any of the boring bits, which is probably why he missed the bit about deluding himself.


OUR MOZZER SNOOZES WHILST BOZ READS HIM AN EXCERT FROM FOLLOWING THE MOZZIAH


Our Mozzer's offer to answer a thirty question interview has gotten the Blue Rose Society VERY excited, but I have to confess, I am in a bit of a quandary. The fact that Our Mozzer continues to claim that he is NOT Morrissey, means that I am belittling myself by pandering to his every whim. I have spent the last eighteen months blogging about a man who behaves like Morrissey, but who blatantly states that he is NOT Morrissey. It is just how Brian of Nazareth behaved all those years ago, when he acted as though he WAS The Messiah, and even looked like JC, but he too, blatantly told people that he WASN'T The Messiah, which of course he wasn't, but then again, JC wasn't either, but that's another story for another day.

Where was I? Oh yes, if I KNEW that Our Mozzer WAS in fact Morrissey, I would be happy to fawn all over him, and jump to his every command, but the very fact that he is adamant (no, not the pirate guy from the 80's, don't confuse this even more!) that he is NOT Morrissey, makes it VERY difficult for me to just do as he says. It makes me look weak, very weak indeed, and I HAVE to remind myself, and HIM, that I am now one of Britain's elite, where as Our Mozzer is just some two bit bedsit dweller, who is probably claiming benefits, which no doubt will include incapacity benefits to which he isn't entitled. I expect the deluded c**t has even convinced himself that he's got "double pneumonia" and Osgood Shlatter disease, just like TRM. I wouldn't be surprised if, when he's not sat in his chatroom, he takes to the streets to go begging, to supplement his income even further. Bastard.


OUR MOZZER - SUPPLEMENTING HIS INCOME THROUGH BEGGING


But hold on, the very fact that Our Mozzer claims to have 'staff', including Britain's third funniest man, Russell Brand, as his administrator, must SURELY mean that he ISN'T just a hirsute bedsit dweller after all, it HAS to be TRM, it just HAS to be. I therefore apologise wholeheartedly for my distasteful blog posting of yesterday, and I will post the thirty questions within the two day time limit, ie, tomorrow.

The man who posts on my blog with the user name 'Morrissey', but insists he is 'NOT Morrissey', has asked that I interview him, asking, "thirty mesmerizing questions." I have no idea if the hairy backed bedsit dweller will answer these questions in the guise of Morrissey, or  as 'Our Mozzer', so I will ask a variety of questions aimed at both of them. He/They may of course decide not to answer any of them at all! Here are his original conditions, I would guess that conditions 1 and 5 are EXACTLY the same wording Morrissey uses when he responds to all the email interviews that he does :

Morrissey23 March 2013 11:25

Our Mozzer would like it known he will be doing one final interview for TRB's semi-mesmerizing Blog thing.

The conditions are as follows:

1 It must be published in full with no errors
2 Our Mozzer only answers interesting questions
3 thirty mesmerizing questions must be posed and some of these must be original and previously unasked
4 some of the questions must come from other BRS members
5 No questions must be asked about: (a) The Smiths or (b) the artiste's personal life

So then, here goes. I will include questions from as many BRS members as I can, but as Our Mozzer has stated that he will only answer "interesting questions", I have decided to use a bit of artistic licence (license) to 'sex up' some of the slightly, er, 'duller' questions. *Deep breath* Eyes down for your first number this time:

Q1: From Climmy Worseapple

You've already stated that you liked my question, so TRB has decided to post it again, with a slight alteration. Sometimes, when I cry, I sit with a mirror before me and imagine that I am my own nonexistent disillusioned long-term partner, looking with scorn at my puffy, leaking face - immune to the rotting diseases of affection and empathy for "myself" thanks to a tough course of painful injections and some hard-earned antibodies. Next week sees you release your first 'new material' for four years, albeit as 'b' sides to 'Last of the Famous International Playboys', do you think it will reach the Top 100 in the UK, and do you care?

THE KID'S A LOOKER - AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD FROM APRIL 8TH

Q2: From girlwithout
Question from me for Our Mozzer. When he met you at a recent Hollywood party, Gristle Bandage commented that you were like Bette Davis and Garbo, sat in a corner uniquely like someone from another era. How do you feel about this comparison and is there some other Hollywood star that you would have preferred to be compared to?

Q3: From Chuck Norrissey
Ok here comes my question. Don't be disappointed. Dear Our Mozzer, was there anything about this whole journey that surprised you, that came unexpected - concerning your followers/fans and/or media? Was it a mudslide, or did it all develop and unfold according to your plans?

Q4: From Uncle Halfwit
This is ridiculous, you are just a "dickhead pulling a scam." You are just "some wanker who hatched a plan to make a film about internet gullibility", with the subject, "Morrissey fans." How long do you possibly think you can get away with pretending to be Morrissey before you are caught out? Tops P.

Q5: From Mme de Staël
What is your favourite cover version of one of your songs? And is there any song of another artist(e) that you think would be worthwhile covering?

Q6: From Lizzycatmoz

My question for Morrissey AKA Our Mozzer is, and I consider this to be ' personal' however not ' personal life.' Having been extremely ill and on IV drips for 5 weeks, I'm sure the

experience changed you, but what I'd really like to know, but am afraid to ask, so am relying on that b**tard Rat to 'sex up' my question up a bit, is:  You have used lots of homoerotic imagery in your art over the years, and yet I have found you quite flirty, do you bat for both sides? 

Q7: From TRB
I'm sorry about Lizzy's deeply personal question, I did warn them not to, but they just ignore me. Let's cut to the chase and get down to the nitty gritty, do you have a fold away sofa bed in your bedsit, or a proper bed that takes the place of a couch?

Q8: On Behalf Of  Marcus 'The Greek' Marcou
I saw it as my calling to travel to Manchester with a Blue Rose, but I couldn't get it to you. Today I am releasing my debut feature film, 'Papadopolous and Sons', have you any plans to watch it?


MARCUS MARKOU WITH HIS BLUE ROSE IN MANCHESTER


Q9: From Vulgar1mkela

I was so honored that you took the blue rose ring from me in Moz Angeles but what happened to it after I gave it to you and have you any plans for it?

ANGELA 'VULGAR' REYES WITH KRISTEEN YOUNG AND THE BLUE ROSE RING


Q10: From Anonymous

Morrissey needs to realize that he has totally screwed himself because of his affiliation with this site and that horrid blog that existed. Had he in fact cared about his career and reputation as a respected artist, he would have come out and denounced both of this (sic) dumps. The true sadness lies in the fact that he has not, and the devolving that has taken place continues to reach new lows. All of this stupidity and the Blue Rose and the ring--come on Morrissey, no wonder you have become a caricature of what you used to be. When will The Smiths be reforming? (Note from Ed - Sorry Our Mozzer, I don't know how this one slipped through the net, but NO Moz interview is complete without some twat asking a Smiths question.)

Q 11: From Emotional air raid survivor

Hello. What inspired you to start the blog initially, did you have any objectives, and if so, do you feel you have achieved them?


Q12: From Emotional air raid survivor
Hello, me again. What are the greatest similarities & differences between Our Mozzer & TRM? 

Q 13: From Girl On Bike
The MorrisseysWorld story has been a phenomenon. What are your best and worst moments of the  journey?

Q 14: From Broken

Why did your image mutate around the late 80s and early 90s when you went from soft wallflower to brusquely assertive? Was it a conscious decision?

SOFT WALLFLOWER

BRUSQUELY ASSERTIVE

Q 15: From JJazmine
Despite everything that has occurred on this 3-4 year journey are you satisfied with what your creation has become? God once flooded the earth to purge his paradise of the evils of humanity. Is this "end" your attempt to put our faith to the test? Will MW rise again from the tomb of your mind? 

Q 16: From JJazmine
Secondly: Does it make you smile to see that many of us have actually become friends with one another, even if it is online, was this an unexpected surprise to you?  

Q 17: From Fluff Rat
What the f**k shall I do with the '@MorrisseysWorld' twitter account that is currently in my possession. Will you PLEASE take it back, and rise like a parody phoenix from the parody ashes? 

Q 18: Talbot 'Tubby' Cheapknockers
It's a picture question from me, and you MUST know the answer because, after all, all you do all day is sit in your bedsit finding out ALL there is to know about Morrissey, just so that you can pretend to be him! So come on, let's see if you REALLY know your Moz stuff, who are the two people in this picture?: (Note from Ed, sorry for Talbot's slightly disrespectful tone, but I quite like his question.)

WHO?

Q 19: From Anastasia Ames
Dear Moz, In your last interview you said you'd like to come back to Mexico in June. If you do, will the US also have a chance to see you again? 

Q 20: From fancy123
I noticed Climmy Worseapple's question. I myself do not have to sit in front of a mirror to feel that crappy and alone, but if I needed a song to listen to, I would use 'Wide to Receive' It is a beautifully crafted song, but one that can leave you feeling completely alone and useless. Do you have any peccadilloes you can talk about?

Q 21: From Andy 'Old Willougby'
What's wrong with hairy backs? That isn't my main question: The very first time you sang in front of an audience, how did you get through it since you were obviously so shy, and what gave you the confidence to do it again, and again? Do you suffer from nerves at all now?

OLD WILLOUGHBY

Q 22: From Clover Dean
Dear Morressay, Will you one day tell the world that you know about the Blue Rose Society? Please sir take care of yourself, hoping for your return & I love you so...
Thank you for your time~
Rosy Clover Dean
BRS forever

Q 23: From romina
This is very silly, but I like to be silly, sometimes,in Rome there is a urban legend about you, it says that you use to wash by yourself your dresses in a little laundry near Piazzale Flaminio. Is it true?

PIAZZALE FLAMINIO

Q 24: From Leslie
"Our Mozzer": What is your belief of the after-life? Do you think we just die and go to a better place, or do you believe in the spirit world - ghosts and hauntings, I suppose you'd call it...?

Q 25: From Mozkidkyle
Hello, as President of the Blue Rose Society, Rat says I am entitled to ask as many questions as I like, so here are my questions for you.

1. Did you get the BlueRose Society t-shirt that I brought for you?

2. Is there another cologne that you wear besides Com De Garcan?

3. Are you going to do a book signing in New York?

4. Why did you pick Long Island to start the Tour again?

5. Will we ever meet again , and did you read what I gave you?

Your Friend, KYLE

PRESIDENT KYLE

Q 26: From heathercat

This isn't really a question, but more a statement. The fact that Morrissey once said, "I don't know if I even exist offstage" could make one wonder who is actually more real - TRM or NotMorrissey. All I do know is that NotMorrissey's identity doesn't concern me. Hirsute bedsit dweller or not, he's intriguing, brilliant, hilarious and mesmerizing, and his presence will be greatly missed. 

Q 27: From Tiffany Tidychuff (Bond girl or Carry On character? - Ed)
Like Tubby Talbot, it's a picture question from me too, who is the person featured on your drum kit?:

WHO ARE YER?

Q 28: From comrade harps
As a good athiest skeptic, I don't believe in astrology, but even as a fellow Gemini (I'm a 23 May to Morrissey's 22 May) I'm finding this all a bit confusing. If it is the real Morrissey behind all this (as us Deluded Dozen believe) then he cannot own up to that as he needs to maintain the mystery and keep the distance, all the while giving us nudge-nudge wink-wink signs. Is that the post-modernist game being played out here?

Q 29: From TRB
You have made many, many predictions of things that Morrissey would do, and HE HAS DONE THEM. You predicted back in 2011 that he would take his shirt off in London, and despite him not having taken it off in recent times, HE TOOK IT OFF! You predicted that Morrissey would accept a red rose on stage, and despite him not having accepted ANY flowers on stage in years, HE ACCEPTED A RED ROSE IN POMONA! You predicted that Morrissey would accept a Blue Rose, AND despite fans offering Morrissey gladioli and numerous other flowers throughout the last year, he refused to take ANY of them, and yet accepted BLUE ROSES IN BOTH NEW YORK AND LA! You predicted that Morrissey would play in Argentina, AND HE DID! The list goes on and on. Add to this the huge list of 'coincidences' over the past two years, including you mentioning a toothbrush on stage in Long Island just hours after I had blogged about losing mine, and yet STILL your fans refuse to believe you are Morrissey. I even asked you in an  interview last May about the NME court case, and the answer was posted  on True To You, but STILL nobody believed. Forget about the media, WHAT do you think Morrissey would have to do to FINALLY  get his OWN FANS to believe? 

Q 30: From TRB
What now for MorrisseysWorld and the Blue Rose Society? Can we have another prediction please?

Thank you very much to Our Mozzer for taking the time to read our questions. We now wait with huge anticipation for the answers. This BlueRoseSociety interview is like no other interview, this one's  different because it's us.

The MorrisseysWorld blog has returned *waves palm leaves, throws blue roses et cetera et cetera et cetera*. The return seems to have been brought on due to the release of the film, 'Papadopoulos & Sons'. As regular readers to my blog will know, 'Papa' is a British indie film, written and directed (and self distributed) by long time Blue Rose Society member, Marcus 'The Greek' Markou.


MARCUS MARKOU


Last night on twitter, Our Mozzer's right hand man, Broken, responded to a twitter user called Penny Kontakos (@Kaulentia), who had tweeted to remark how good the 'Papadopoulos & Sons' film is. The film was released in thirteen Cineworld cinemas on Friday, and despite NO major backer, and NO publicity, the film is enjoying great reviews. Cineworld will only keep the film running past the first week if 5,000 people watch it. Here is the twitter conversation from yesterday which seems to have brought on the return of the MorrisseysWorld blog:

penny kontakos ‏@kaulentia12h

@papasonsfilm felt I went back in time Watching a classic Greek film with all d trimmings:comedy,drama&classic songs.loved it

broken returns ‏@brokenreturns11h

@kaulentia@PapaSonsFilm Marcus will soon be made famous by Morrissey.

Marcus Markou ‏@PapaSonsFilm11h

@brokenreturns@kaulentia Is he at Cineworld Enfield watching Papadopoulos and Sons?

broken returns ‏@brokenreturns11h

@PapaSonsFilm@kaulentia I don't know - but watch out for a sign.

Marcus Markou ‏@PapaSonsFilm8h

@brokenreturns forget signs. I need him to ask his fans in the UK to go watch Papa. Like now.


Seven hours later, at 9am this morning, the MorrisseysWorld blog had returned, as Broken tweeted this:

broken returns ‏@brokenreturns1h

@PapaSonsFilm Well. http://www.morrisseysworld.blogspot.com  I think that's all the #BlueRoseSociety can do. Now it's time to wait.

Here is the BRAND NEW MorrisseysWorld entry (sorry about the faint writing):

SUNDAY, 7 APRIL 2013

Our Mozzer (Fake Morrissey) would like it known he would like a small favour from the True Artiste Morr-ee-say

Committed Blue Rose Society member, the film and play writer/director Marcus Markou, has created a mesmerizingly off-beat and fascinatingly self-financed film, Papadopulous And Sons It is being criminally overlooked by the mainstream media, but is receiving glorious reviews in the indie press. Our Mozzer would be thrilled enough to return to blogging and tweeting if the seminal artiste could perhaps condescend to our populist level by actually watching a film made within the past twenty years and, if he should like it, perhaps make his views known.

Our Mozzer would also like it known that the interview questions will indeed be addressed soon.

Blue Rose Society will never die.

Long Live Morrissey!

 So, WILL TRM (The Real Morrissey), read the MorrisseysWorld article, and give publicity to this unknown British film? As Broken said, now it's time to wait!

Here are some other happenings from yesterday:

broken returns ‏@brokenreturns11h

*sniggers*

Heathercat ‏@heathercat22211h

@brokenreturns What's funny?

broken returns ‏@brokenreturns11h

@heathercat222 JOHNNY'S INTERVIEW! He described his eighth grade lyrics as 'turning Descartes on his head.'

It has also been reported that Our Mozzer (Morrissey1959) was in the MW chatroom last night. He wasn't there long, but here are his musings, as reported by BRS members:

Chuck Norrissey6 April 2013 21:24

I took notes in the chat Rats, as you wanted, but only very little...

"That blasted Rat B*****d"

That was all I saved, sorry! Ok he also said he might answer all interview questions but that they were impressively appaling, and that "One could do a lot with an interview that lacking in form, content and originality". He was truly in fine form today.

Don't shoot the messenger.

heathercat6 April 2013 22:00

Just to clarify, Our Mozzer came into chat after Broken was there, and Chuck's notes were spoken by Our Mozzer. I missed what Broken said in chat, but here are a couple more things that Our Mozzer said:

"Half of what I say is untruth and the other half is half-truth."

"I will cover Justin Bieber soon, for irony's sake of course, as the blog promised."

What a wonderful surprise to see Broken and Our Mozzer today. Before Our Mozzer left, he posted an intriguing Log Lady video. I'm unable to paste the link here as I'm on my phone - perhaps someone else would like to.

Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is dead, which doesn't interest me in the slightest, just as her life didn't interest me, but what DOES interest me, is WHO fired the "blast"! Let me explain.

Margaret Thatcher's death was announced yesterday lunchtime in the UK, and the freelance journalist Kevin 'Banjaxer' 'Walter Ego' Mar(r)inan immediately took to twitter to celebrate, but he then went quiet for five hours, so what could he 'possibly' have been doing? It is my guess that he was writing a piece on Thatcher with a 'Morrissey angle'. Mar(r)inan returned to twitter just before 8pm and posted the following article that the Daily Mirror had just published online:

Margaret Thatcher dead: Morrissey blasts former PM as "barbaric" just hours after her death

8 Apr 2013 19:36

The musician has been a long-time critic of the former Prime Minister and aired his views in songs like Margaret On The Guillotine

PA

Outspoken Morrissey tonight blasted Margaret Thatcher as "barbaric" and someone "without an atom of humanity".

The musician has been a long-time critic of the former Prime Minister and aired his views in songs like Margaret On The Guillotine.

Tonight, just hours after her death, he released a strongly-worded statement slamming the former Tory politician.

The former Smiths singer said: "Thatcher is remembered as The Iron Lady only because she possessed completely negative traits such as persistent stubbornness and a determined refusal to listen to others.

"Every move she made was charged by negativity; she destroyed the British manufacturing industry, she hated the miners, she hated the arts, she hated the Irish Freedom Fighters and allowed them to die, she hated the English poor and did nothing at all to help them, she hated Greenpeace and environmental protectionists, she was the only European political leader who opposed a ban on the Ivory Trade, she had no wit and no warmth and even her own Cabinet booted her out."

Morrissey, whose first Smiths single Hand In Glove was released a month before Baroness Thatcher won her second term of office as Prime Minister in 1983, was highly critical of her role in the Falklands War.

He said: "She gave the order to blow up The Belgrano even though it was outside of the Malvinas Exclusion Zone - and was sailing AWAY from the islands.

"When the young Argentinian boys aboard The Belgrano had suffered a most appalling and unjust death, Thatcher gave the thumbs up sign for the British press. Iron? No. Barbaric? Yes.

"She hated feminists even though it was largely due to the progression of the women's movement that the British people allowed themselves to accept that a Prime Minister could actually be female.

"But because of Thatcher, there will never again be another woman in power in British politics, and rather than opening that particular door for other women, she closed it.

Outspoken Morrissey, who recently cancelled a series of shows due to ill health, went on: "Thatcher will only be fondly remembered by sentimentalists who did not suffer under her leadership, but the majority of British working people have forgotten her already, and the people of Argentina will be celebrating her death.

"As a matter of recorded fact, Thatcher was a terror without an atom of humanity," he added.

Two things immediately grabbed me about the article, firstly that it was credited to Ben Rankin and NOT Kevin Mar(r)inan, which I had expected, and secondly, that I hadn't seen this "strongly-worded statement" anywhere else, not on True To You, Morrissey's facebook page, and not 'even' from his publicist Lauren Papapietro. In fact, Papapietro's first comment on the matter was to re-tweet the Mirror article:

Lauren Papapietro ‏@laurnpapapietro14h

#Morrissey comments on the passing of #margaretthatcher "...Thatcher was a terror without an atom of humanity" http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/margaret-thatcher-dead-morrissey-blasts-1818903 …

The fact that Papapietro tweeted the Mirror's article, meant that the statement was OBVIOUSLY authentic, and had come from Morrissey, although not according to good old UncleSkinny, who thinks he knows better than Morrissey's own publicist! Can Skinny ever get ANYTHING right? Here is his tweet:

HatefulOnlineCreche ‏@Uncleskinny14h

That Mirror article isn't new, it's a mash-up, mostly from the Loaded article. No Moz statement. Journalistic opportunism.

Mar(r)inan obviously took umbrage to Skinny calling the Mirror piece "journalistic opportunism" and posted the following tweet:

Kevin ‏@banjaxer4h

Wow... Some people get angry about the strangest things. Usually on another person's behalf. #Wrong

But WHY would Banjaxer be so protective over an article that he didn't write, or DID he write it? Straight after he had tweeted the Mirror article, which incidentally he spotted before ANYBODY else, he posted the full Morrissey statement on his blog, a blog which he usually uses to publish articles that HE has written: http://banjaxer.blogspot.co.uk/

So, if Mar(r)inan DID write that statement on behalf of Morrissey, WHY wouldn't he want to be seen to be taking credit for it? Could it be because he 'borrowed' virtually all the content from the 'Loaded' interview, as noticed by Skinny, or could it be because Banjaxer aka Walter Ego CANNOT be seen to be linked to Morrissey, as it would expose him as possibly being involved in MorrisseysWorld? Only last week Our Mozzer told us that he knows nothing about Banjaxer, but we must remember that nearly two years ago, BEFORE MorrisseysWorld was discovered by the masses (if twelve can be counted as masses!), and before FollowingTheMozziah had arrived on the scene to question EVERYTHING, an article was written on the MW blog, which went as follows:

MORRISSEY: Speaking of twitter, what on earth am I going to do with my blog? *the artiste yawns wistfully*

MIKEY: Still not getting much traffic, Morrissey?

MORRISSEY: I've seen more traffic passing through Sale pedestrian precinct.

MIKEY: I went there the other day. The blog I mean, not Sale. You/ve had a few hits. A few thousand actually, Morrissey.

MORRISSEY: Oh that's just Walter Ego.

MIKEY: Walter Ego?

MORRISSEY: Yes, he's one of the so-low trolls. I pay him to write nonsense all over the so-low site and do odd internet-based jobs for me, like repeatedly visiting my blog and posting links around the place.

MIKEY: You pay him?!

MORRISSEY: Nothing excessive. Just £50 a month.

MAM: It's not £50, Steven - it's £47. You reduced it when he fell into a diabetic coma in July and forgot to start a so-low forum thread about the blog. Poor lad. He was in  intensive care for weeks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Has the fact that Mar(r)inan posted the Thatcher statement on his blog given him away? Has Walter Ego's ego exposed him, just as Gristle Bandage's ego exposed him when he posted that New Statesman article about Richard Dawkins/Abu Hamza whilst he was playing the character of 'BucktoothedBoy'? (See here: http://www.newstatesman.com/religion/2011/04/richard-dawkins-br-god) An ego is a very difficult thing to control.

EGO - WRITING ON THE WALL REGARDING HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MOZ?

Of course, former MorrisseysWorlder, RosyMires, will be straight out to attack me for being divisive, and maybe I am completely barking up the wrong tree, but if Walter Ego DIDN'T write that statement, then WHO did, and where did the Mirror get the statement from? Maybe Morrissey's publicist is completely wrong and Uncle Skinny is right, perhaps the Mirror HAVE made it all up..... and whilst Mires and Skinny are pondering on everything I've written today, perhaps they can answer this too, WHO IS MORRISSEYSWORLD?

UPDATE - ADDED 4:10 PM UK TIME TUESDAY APRIL 9TH 2013:

Girl Without (GWO) added the following comment to my blog at 2:26 pm:

girlwithout9 April 2013 14:26

The ‘strongly worded statement’ was published first on The Daily Beast http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/04/08/morrissey-thatcher-was-a-terror-without-an-atom-of-humanity.html at 1.59 EDT (time of this being published may have changed if it was edited etc, but it is a starting point). As far as I can make out this is about 5 hours behind UK time. And the author is ……*drum rolls*…… MORRISSEY. Looks like this ‘statement’ was then used in the Daily Mirror article (published 19.36 so about half an hour after the Beast), and in all subsequent articles.
I was curious that a lot of the article appears to be ‘lifted’ from the Loaded interview with Morrissey, but they were Morrissey’s words then and he can re-use them now, or whenever he wants.
I would stand corrected, but unlike Uncle Skinny I think that there was a ‘moz statement’ and Morrissey made it in The Daily Beast. As to US call on ‘journalistic opportunism’ ……

I have since checked on twitter to see what came first, 'The Beast' or 'The Mirror'. It transpires that the Daily Mirror article was posted on twitter WAY BEFORE The Beast article, and Banjaxer was the VERY FIRST PERSON to tweet it on twitter, ahead of the thousands and thousands who have subsequently retweeted the story. Banjaxer also tweeted the link to the FULL STATEMENT on his own blog WAY BEFORE there was any mention on twitter of the Beast article! I still get the feeling that Kevin Mar(r)inan wrote the article on Morrissey's behalf, unless of course, you know different. *Pauses* "Cyril!"

Broken last night returned to twitter to make a series of argumentative statements, and Our Mozzer has placed a new statement/question on the MorrisseysWorld blog. Meanwhile, TRM has made a statement regarding Thatcher on True-To-You. On top of all this, debate has continued to rage as to whether or not Monday's statement in The Mirror and The Beast was from Morrissey or not. Statements, statements everywhere, and if you can be bothered to read the whole of this blog entry, you will be rewarded with a hilarious new parody piece, which starts about half-way down.

I can't report exactly on what Broken tweeted yesterday, as he has once again taken down his account. He made a few statements to try and create an argument, such as, he enjoyed eating meat, and PETA were killers! Most MorrisseysWorlders have learnt not to let Broken rile them, but Chuck decided to enter into a debate with him.

I have to say, Broken plays the devils advocate role superbly well, and although it is obvious that he doesn't really believe the things he says, he is able to put forward a very good argument for both sides, which shows how well balanced he is.... I think! I don't know if anybody reacted to Broken's pro Thatcher statement, but I would guess not. Broken also stated that Our Mozzer would be watching 'Papadopoulos & Sons' soon, but then added that he may not like it!

PAPADOPOULOS & SONS - COMING TO AN 'OUR MOZZER' NEAR YOU SOON, BUT WILL HE LIKE IT?


The new MorrisseysWorld article has the heading: 'South American, US, UK concerts on the cards?' This is followed by a single sentence which reads, "Our Mozzer would like it known that he may return to the live stage soon." Presumably both Morrissey and Our Mozzer are busy arranging the next stages of their world tours, and we wait with bated breath to find out where they will be. Morrissey has already announced on TTY that he will be playing in seven cities in Mexico in June, and that this will be followed with concerts in Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Chile. Our Mozzer has already hinted that HE will play at least two shows in the UK, including London, so now, with Our Mozzer's suggestion that the US is back on the touring agenda, we must await to see if both TRM and Our Mozzer's tour plans marry up!

MORRISSEY SINGING IN HYDE PARK, LONDON IN 2008 - IS HE SET TO RETURN THERE, OR PERHAPS A DIFFERENT LONDON VENUE


And so, to 'Thatcher Gate', which unlike 'Houston Gate', has not divided the MorrisseysWorlders..... yet! With a 'new' statement having been made on TTY by Morrissey, the likes of  LizzyCat and Romina believe that the case is closed, and that the 'statement' that appeared in The Mirror and The Beast was nothing more than a "mash-up" of the 'Loaded' interview, put together by opportunistic journalists, as pointed out by UncleSkinny and his So-Low mates (although it appears that this wasn't an original thought, they lifted it from the 'All You Need Is Morrissey' website!). However, I STILL don't believe that the 'new' statement closes the case, and nor does GWO, who has tweeted Lauren Papapietro (@LaurnPapapietro) to ask her to shed some light on the matter. Lauren has not yet replied. GWO has also made the following observations:

girlwithout10 April 2013 12:05

Well, what do I know – obviously absolutely nowt. But....
...in the TTY statement Morrissey said ‘The difficulty with giving a comment on Margaret Thatcher's death to the British tabloids is that, no matter how calmly and measuredly you speak, the comment must be reported as an "outburst" or an "explosive attack" if your view is not pro-establishment.’
Was the explosive attack the ‘blasts’ in The Mirror? Pitchfork reports that ‘A Morrissey representative confirms that the singer's strongly-worded criticisms of Margaret Thatcher, which surfaced after news of her death yesterday, came from an old interview in an issues (sic) of Loaded magazine’. About half of what was said in the open letter on The Daily Beast came from the Loaded interview – but where did the rest of it come from? A mash-up, fake, an Italian crocodile?
More questions than answers. 

The fact that Morrissey's own PR company retweeted The Mirror article must SURELY mean the statement came from Morrissey, and what is more, WHY would 'Banjaxer'  have posted the statement on his own blog and signed it 'Morrissey' if it wasn't with Morrissey's authority? It is "common knowledge" that Banjaxer runs the '@MorrisseysMum' twitter account, and I should know, I HANDED IT OVER TO HIM, but impersonating Morrissey for 'a laugh' on twitter is one thing, making a claim that a statement is BY him is quite another. I still suspect that Banjaxer wrote Monday's statement, and that he wrote it with Morrissey's FULL backing. I also STILL believe that Banjaxer is an employee of Morrissey's, as I mentioned yesterday.


BANJAXER - ON THE PAYROLL?


I also believe that the only reason that Morrissey has now issued a 'new' statement regarding Thatcher on TTY, is to make it look as though he didn't issue the first statement, thus taking the heat away from Banjaxer, but it must be remembered, Morrissey HASN'T denied that he authorized the first statement, and as GWO has pointed out, the "blasts" comment used by The Mirror probably annoyed Moz, so he may have decided to issue ANOTHER statement, in order to not just have another kick at Thatcher, but to also take a kick at The Mirror for it's sensationalism, whilst simultaneously giving Banjaxer a clip around the ear for both his lazy journalism, and for allowing the "blast" to be printed!

Let's face it, that first statement looks like it was put together by somebody who wanted to get the article finished quickly before the Man Utd v Man City game started! The one thing that CAN'T be denied is that there is definitely SOME new bits in Monday's statement, so whoever wrote it DIDN'T just take it all from the 'Loaded' interview, SOMEBODY wrote some new bits! Here is what MIGHT have happened on Monday:

(The scene is the living room of the two-up, two-down terraced house shared by Morrissey and his mother, Betty. Both Morrissey and his mother are sat in arm chairs opposite each other, with a small coffee table in between them. They are playing a card game called 'Old Maid'. Radio 4 is on quietly in the background. It is just after 1.30pm on Monday April 8th.)

BETTY: *Takes a card from her son's hand and throws down her final 'pair'* (In a mixed Irish/Mancunian accent) Well, Steven, that's another game to me. What's the score now?

MORRISSEY: Seventeen all.

BETTY: (Irate) Is it 'eckers loicke! How can we be drawing, I was five games ahead before.

MORRISSEY: That was ages ago, mother. I've just won six games on the trot, I was winning before that game.

BETTY: Six games on the trot? You haven't won six games all morning! If you can't play fairly Steven, then there is no point playing at all! (stands up) I'm going to go and make something for us dinner, what would you like?

MORRISSEY: Mother, 'please'! It's lunch, NOT dinner.

BETTY: Don't go getting all lah-de-dah with me, my boy, do you want something to eat or not?

MORRISSEY: Oh go on then, I'll have a cheese and pickle sandwich.

BETTY: I thought you were going to give up the cheese?

MORRISSEY: (Defensively) It's my ONE vice mother, my ONE vice! I don't feel good about myself when I eat it, but it helps remind me that we ALL have flaws. No animal actually dies in the process of cheese making you know, so I can just about cope with the exploitation. (Betty leaves the room and heads for the kitchen) (Shouting) Actually, I'll have some mushroom soup, you've made me feel bad about myself with your quite unnecessary cheese jibe.

BETTY: (Shouting) Well, if you hadn't cheated with the cards, I wouldn't have brought it up. Perhaps you'll think on next time.

(The telephone rings in the front room. Morrissey is sat right next to it, but ignores it as it rings six times)

BETTY: (Shouting) Steven, are you going to answer the telephone? (Morrissey ignores both the phone and his mother until eventually she walks back into the room. She is now wearing her pinny) Why haven't you answered the telephone, Steven?

MORRISSEY: I don't want to talk to them.

BETTY: You don't even know who it is yet, and anyway, it moight be for me.

MORRISSEY: It is irrelevant WHO it is, I don't want to talk to them, and I very much doubt that it's for you, the only person who ever calls you is me, and I'm here.

BETTY: Well that's not true on both counts! Your sister rings me regular, as do the boys, whereas YOU never ring. Anyway, I'd better answer it. You never know, it moight be your friend Mortin, such a lovely boy.

MORRISSEY: It won't be! Boz is far too busy playing Polecats to be bothered with me. (Betty picks up the phone).

BETTY: (Talking into the receiver) Hello, yes?

BANJAXER: Hello Ms Dwyer, it's me Kevin, Kevin Marrinan.

BETTY: Oh hello Kevin, how's the family?

BANJAXER: All good thanks Ms Dwyer. Is Morrissey there please, I need to talk to him about Margaret Thatcher, she's died.

BETTY: Oh yes, we know, we heard it on the wireless a little earlier. I'll pass you over Kevin, love, hold on. (Betty holds the receiver towards Morrissey to take, but he doesn't.)

MORRISSEY: (To Betty) Who is it?

BETTY: It's Kevin, the journalist friend of yours from Wythenshawe.

MORRISSEY: Mother, I don't 'have' friends, and if I ever did care to 'take a friend', it would certainly NOT be a journalist.

BETTY: (To Morrissey) Are you going to speak to him or not?

MORRISSEY: Not!

BETTY: (To Morrissey) But he can hear that you are here, don't make this awkward for me, you're always doing this. (Betty covers the receiver with her hand)

MORRISSEY: Then you shouldn't make false promises to people.

BETTY: (To Morrissey) What false promises?

MORRISSEY: Promises that you will put me on the phone, when I have made no indication whatsoever that I wish to speak on the phone! It's like the Isle of Wight festival and the Andy Rourke incident all over again! You people only have yourselves to blame for getting into these 'awkward' positions, and then you all come running to me to dig you all out of the shit?

BETTY: (To Morrissey) Mind your language Steven, I won't have that sort of filth under my roof, and how DARE you put me in the same bracket as all those others, I'm your Mother for Christ's sake *crosses herself* and DON'T you forget it.

(Morrissey licks his upper lip and smiles to himself.)

MORRISSEY: I'll tell you what Mother, if you are prepared to concede the current Old Maid tournament, I will dig you out of your hole, and I'll take the telephone call from this dreadful little journalist.

BETTY: (To Morrissey) Ah, bollocks to your Old Maid, you can have the win if you want it that much.

MORRISSEY: YES! Hand over the trophy, Mother.

BETTY: (To Morrissey) I'll hand it over once you've spoken tho Kevin, and once you've finished your exploitation.

MORRISSEY: Exploitation?

BETTY: (To Morrissey) Your cheese sandwich!

(Betty hands Morrissey the telephone receiver and heads back to the kitchen)

MORRISSEY: (Shouting to his mother with hand over the receiver) I said I'd have soup! (Talking into the receiver) Hello, who is it?

BANJAXER: Hi Moz, it's me, Kevin Marrinan.

MORRISSEY: Who?

BANJAXER: Walter Ego?! I'm the one who does your internet work.

MORRISSEY: Oh yes, Walter Ego, my troll. What do you want Walter? I'm a very busy man.

BANJAXER: Yes, sorry to disturb you Moz, but Maggie Thatcher's died.

MORRISSEY: Yes, I heard it on the wireless. Please don't make her sound warm by giving her a christian name, her name was Thatcher, nothing more. Anyway, why are you telephoning me with this most uninteresting news?

BANJAXER: The press want to know your thoughts Moz, they want word from the man who wanted to put her on a guillotine.

MORRISSEY: I am FAR too busy and far too disinterested to write a statement about that hateful piece of shit. On the wireless they were saying how much she'd done for feminism, which is utter crap Kieron, she HATED feminists, even though it was largely due to the progression of the women's movement that British people allowed themselves to accept that a Prime Minister could actually be female! Because of Thatcher, there will never again be another woman in power in British politics. No, Walter, I just cannot be bothered to release a statement about THAT woman, I have tours to arrange, record executives to speak to, t-shirts to design, I am an artiste, and my art needs me. I also have a thirty question interview that I have promised to answer for my fans. I suppose you think that I just sit around all day playing Old Maid with my Mother?

BANJAXER: (Laughing) No, of course not, I realise that you are very busy, but I really do think you should issue some sort of statement today, your fans are expecting it. I don't mind writing it for you!

MORRISSEY: (Sounding incredulous) YOU, write on behalf of ME, the people's poet? Oh the thought of it. I have started to spasm.

BANJAXER: Well, if you don't get something out there today Moz, then the papers will go after Bragg or Costello for the eighties indie music comment! They may even go for Dave Wakeling!

MORRISSEY: (Sounding incredulous.... again!) Bragg or Costello? Fucking Wakeling? Who cares what THEY think? Bragg's gone soft in his old age, I bet he'll even use her christian name, or god forbid, refer to her as Baroness. In fact, I can tell you EXACTLY what Bragg will say, he'll say, (adopts a wide boy London accent) "The death of Margaret Thatcher is nothing more than a salient reminder of how Britain got into the mess that we are in today." It's all so predictable.

BANJAXER: There's talk among the journalists I know, that they are seeking Russell Brand's view on Thatcher.

MORRISSEY: (Sounding incredulous... AGAIN!) Gristle? What the FUCK does he know? He wasn't even born when she was sinking retreating ships. Oh Christ, OK, I'll give you a statement, but I don't want to see any of your shitty journo spin on it, I don't want any "Outburst" or "Explosive attack" pinned to my statement, do you understand?

BANJAXER: I can't control the headlines they give Moz. Shall we get to work?

MORRISSEY: Get to work? Sod that, old son, just copy everything I said in that Loaded interview about the old cow, and add in that bit I gave you a minute ago about the feminists. I can't waste anymore time on this, I REALLY AM extraordinarily busy. *Puts down the phone* (Shouting to the kitchen) Mother, how do you fancy another championship? First to twenty five!

On Thursday night, Morrissey appeared on BBC 1, being interviewed by Victoria Wood about tea. Morrissey appeared relaxed and in good spirits. I was half expecting to see him give an 'O' sign, but he didn't, in fact, there were no signs at all, although he DID raise his eyebrows when Victoria mentioned that she'd just been to 'Tea & Sympathy', the tea shop that I just so happened to use as the setting for my parody interview last October (See here: http://followingthemozziah.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/day-391-tea-for-two-and-two-for-tea.html). I have NO idea why Morrissey would raise his eyebrows at the mention of this particular New York tea shop!

TEA & SYMPATHY IN NEW YORK - AS MENTIONED BY VICTORIA WOOD TO MORRISSEY


There has been no recent news from Our Mozzer, and I must therefore presume that he is busy either organizing tours or pondering on the thirty questions set to him by the Blue Rose Society.

The cricket season has started pretty much in the same vein as the last one, with the first matches I was due to watch, being rained off! Will this rain EVER stop?


RAIN STOP PLAY


Since the death of The Right Honorable Baroness Lady Margaret 'Milk Snatcher' Thatcher, a social media campaign has gotten under way in Britain, to try and get the song 'Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead' to Number 1. I, for one, will NOT be downloading it, for two reasons.

Firstly, I believe downloading this song is a pointless exercise, what does it achieve? It is no good the people of Britain moaning that they were unhappy with Thatcher's leadership NOW, they should have shown that they were not prepared to tolerate her when she was in power, and YES, there were riots on the streets, and YES, the IRA tried to bomb her, but NOBODY actually stormed 10 Downing Street and dragged her to Trafalgar Square to string her up, that just isn't the British way!

When Thatcher ruled Britain, Morrissey showed his hatred for her by writing and recording a song called 'Margaret on the Guillotine', a dreamy and quite tender ballad with an unbelievably strong lyric, asking the question, 'When will you die?'
  Morrissey, a poet of his generation, was expressing his hatred for Thatcher in the same way that the Sex Pistols showed their hatred for the the monarchy, with 'God Save the Queen', but if the people don't respond to such rally cries, and take NO action, then nothing changes, and although many people bought 'God Save the Queen', agreeing with the sentiment of the song, NOBODY was SO outraged that they actually gathered the masses together, and chased the monarchy out of town. For an uprising to happen, a country would have to be REALLY on it's knees, ie, the masses would have to have nowhere to live and nothing to eat. While the masses remain dry, fed and watered, they WON'T take action because the pain isn't painful enough!


SAFE, WARM LANCASHIRE HOME


The only people to benefit from sales of 'Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead', is Time Warner, who own the rights to the song. By all means, encourage the people of Britain to have parties and celebrate the death of the wicked witch, and dance and sing 'Ding Dong!', just like The Munchkins did in 'The Wizard of Oz', but WHY bother downloading the song and wasting 79p? It doesn't achieve ANYTHING! What the masses should really be doing, is storming Downing Street and insisting on change, but they won't, everybody will continue to moan and groan, and some may even bother to vote at elections (18% turnout at the Manchester Central by-election last November), but although the faces behind the desks change, and even the parties in charge change, the system doesn't, and there in lies the problem! Nothing changes, and buying 'Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead' will have zero effect on anything.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE - SAME WHORE, DIFFERENT WAR



Of course the second, and more important reason that I won't be downloading 'Ding Dong!', is that my collection of UK Number 1 Singles will finally, finally, come to an end if it claims the top spot. I thought my collection had ended a few weeks ago, when 'Thriftshop' by Macklemore went to Number 1 as a download only, but luckily for me, the demand from the German market once again meant that a CD single was manufactured, and the collection limped on. I STILL have no idea why the Germans are continuing to insist on record companies releasing cds, but I'm glad they are.

The reason that 'Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead' would bring my collection to an end, is because it would be the FIRST 'single' EVER to top the UK 'singles' chart, despite NEVER having been released as a single, it is an album track! How it qualifies as a 'single', when it's NOT a 'single', I really don't know, but the 'Official Charts Company' have said that it qualifies for the singles chart, so there we have it. The song actually only lasts 50 seconds, so it will also be the shortest song to ever top the charts. It isn't even a 'song' in it's own right, it comes from a three song medley in the film, and although the British press have spent all week calling it a Judy Garland song, as all good friends of Dorothy know, she DIDN'T sing the song! Dorothy was totally unaware of who the wicked witch even was, so why would she celebrate her death, it was The Munchkins who sang it! I would guess that the vast majority of those currently downloading 'Ding Dong!' have no real idea who Thatcher was, they are just jumping on a bandwagon.

DOROTHY - DIDN'T CELEBRATE THE WITCHES DEATH


So, if 'Ding Dong!' reaches the top spot, WHO ARE these Muchkin singers who can celebrate their chart success? Well, NOBODY knows! The three singers who sang on the original film recording were  NOT in the film, they were session singers who recorded the songs, and then had their voices speeded up to sound munchkinesque. So, not only is the 'singles' chart just about to change forever, and become a 'song' chart, but the 'artist' of the first non single to top the charts is unknown. Many people don't want 'Ding Dong!' to reach the top of the chart, as they see it as being in bad taste, I don't think that it's in bad taste at all, I just don't want it to reach the top so that my collection can keep going, but with these ridiculous chart rules in place, even if 'Ding Dong!' fails to reach the top spot, it is just a matter of time before another album track claims the number 1 position. Ding Dong! The 'singles' chart is dead!


All issues of the chart dying aside, I find it quite interesting that the actual singers of this weeks possible Number, aren't known. The whole idea of WHO owns a song, or WHO has the right to mess with a song, or album, came up this week, when I got into a debate with somebody called Sean Calder (@Tony_LeMesmer) on twitter. I had tweeted to say how much I was enjoying the new 'Kill Uncle' release. Kill Uncle has always been my least favourite Morrissey album, but the re-release, with the new tracks added and the new positioning of the tracks on the album, have, in my opinion, completely transformed it. It is like a new album, and I just can't stop playing it. It is amazing what a few little changes can make. Sean Calder disagrees, saying, "Why is Pashernate Love on it when it wasn't recorded during the album & had a different band on it & producer?" As far as I see it, Morrissey can do whatever he likes with his art, but not according to Sean, who says, "It's not Morrissey's album. Every song on it he co-wrote with Mark Nevin or Alan Winstanley. Did he ask them for their opinions on changing the album? Or adding tracks that weren't recorded during the session & without them?"


MARK 'DAVID CAMERON LOOK-A-LIKE' NEVIN


The answers to Sean's questions are 'of course not', and why SHOULD Morrissey ask their permission? Just like the session singers who were used to voice The Munchkins, Nevin and Winstanley were just there to aid the artist, ie the man whose name is on the record, and who creates the  art. Would Van Gogh have needed the permission of the paint manufacturer or the canvas maker before making changes to his art? No, they were merely components of the art. Kill Uncle 2013 is Morrissey's updated Mona Lisa. Yes Morrissey could have added tracks like 'I've Changed My Plea To Guilty', which Sean Calder suggested, but in many ways, that would have made the album too perfect, and it was NEVER a perfect album, so it HAS to maintain some flaws, which thankfully, IT DOES, and I for one, am loving it!

Morrissey's brilliant re-mastered release of Kill Uncle, which NOBODY expected to chart, has unsurprisingly, failed to chart! The re-issue of 'The Last of the Famous International Playboys' has also not entered the Top 100 Singles Chart, which again, I for one never thought it would, in fact, my very first question to Our Mozzer in the recent thirty question interview was, "Do you think it will reach the Top 100, and do you care?" We haven't yet received Our Mozzer's answers to the questions, but I doubt for one minute that he expected it to chart, although over at the So-Low place, they are treating this non event as the end of Morrissey's career. Here is Uncle Skinny's reaction:


"It was an ill-judged release from a person whose chart career is going down the pan. All facts. In fact, since we could do with facts, what are the sales figures and positions (UK) for these releases, compared with sales figures and positions (UK) for his previous albums and singles releases? What does the trajectory look like?

P.

UNCLE SKINNY ON MASTERMIND, IN THE DAYS WHEN HE ACTUALLY LIKED MORRISSEY


You can taste the hatred as it seeps through Skinny's words. WHY does this man hate Morrissey SO much?  "Chart career going down the pan"? Morrissey has NEVER failed to score below the Top 8 with a 'new' album EVER, and whilst we're dealing with FACTS, Morrissey's last album, 'Years of Refusal' reached Number 3. How is THAT 'going down the pan'?  And if it were going down the pan, WHY would Skinny take such pleasure in that? WHY IS Skinny running a Morrissey website? WHY? WHY? WHY? Last week, Skinny was boasting how he would be downloading 'Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead' (which incidentally didn't reach number 1), whilst us Morrissey fans were downloading 'The Kid's A Looker'. You couldn't make this up!

I know I shouldn't keep on about Skinny, but by going on Mastermind, and by running a Morrissey website, the man has made himself a high profile Morrissey fan, so I suppose I expect him to be 'on our side'. To me, being a Morrissey or Smiths fan, has always been a bit like 'Us Against the World'. People who don't 'get' Morrissey are always quick to have a go, and I, along with thousands of other fans, have spent thirty years trying to explain what it is that we see and hear that others don't. I have always presumed that it is the same for ALL Moz fans, and I would expect those who run a Morrissey website to be particularly protective toward their idol, but I have been SO naive in my expectations! But WHAT IS THE POINT? WHAT does Skinny get out of having a place to show his hatred for everything Morrissey now does? I honestly believe that he 'USED' to like Morrissey, but now that he obviously no longer does, WHY doesn't he just walk away? The ironic thing is, if an 'outsider' were to have a pop about Morrissey, Skinny would probably still defend him.... or perhaps not.

 Rosy Mires, Still.I.Cling and Cathy5 ALL abandoned MorrisseysWorld to become friends with Skinny, presumably because of a common interest in Morrissey, and yet all I EVER read from Skinny is constant criticism of Morrissey. The MorrisseysWorlders are so full of love, the Solowers are SO full of hate. Is this all just a bizarre dream I'm having? Is it still September 14th 2011?

As I mentioned yesterday, Morrissey is an artist, and with these re-mastered albums, surely it is the equivalent of a painter, 'touching up' a painting? Too many changes, and it no longer remains the same painting, but the odd stroke here and there, enables the artist to feel happier about his work. The audience/viewer/critic is irrelevant, the artist is doing it for himself. On a much smaller scale, when I write my blog, if I don't like how something flows, I HAVE to change it. It doesn't matter to me if NOBODY were ever to read what I had written, but if I  hadn't written it in the way 'I' wanted it to be written, I wouldn't be happy.

I cannot stop playing the 'touched up' version of 'Kill Uncle', it flows SO much better than the original, and the addition of 'Pashernate Love' and 'East West' into the middle of the album, bring a completely new feel to it. I have gone from only really liking two or three tracks from the original 'Kill Uncle', to there now only being one track that I don't particularly care for ('Found, Found, Found'). I've even found a love for 'Our Frank', which I was never really fond of before, but the tracks that I have really, really fallen in love with are 'Asian Rut', 'Driving Your Girlfriend Home', 'The Harsh Truth Of The Camera Eye', 'There's A Place In Hell For Me And My Friends' (the version on the 2013 album is MUCH better than the original) and my absolute favourite, '(I'm) The End Of The Family Line', which works SO much better by just being the final track.

To anybody who hasn't bothered buying 'Kill Uncle 2013', as they didn't see that there was much difference from the original, I would urge them to make the purchase, and find out what I'm going on about, or at the very least, burn a cd of the songs, and put them in the new track order, the difference is amazing.


AMAZING


So what DO Skinny, Sean Calder and the rest of the Solowers actually WANT from Morrissey? They no longer like the songs that he is writing, they don't like his band, they don't like him 'touching up' his own art, so WHAT do they want? I for one wouldn't care if Morrissey were to NEVER release another album EVER. He has given us enough quality songs to last a life time. What MorrisseysWorld has reinforced, is that Morrissey is a really witty and clever writer, and I for one, would really, really love to see him start writing plays/screen plays/films or comedy. Rather selfishly, I would also like to see him carry on singing live, but Morrissey will do whatever he WANTS to do, which is EXACTLY as it should be.


THE WRITER


And finally for now, and probably for a while, as Our Mozzer seems to have completely disappeared, a few members of the Blue Rose Society have picked up on the fact that Morrissey told Victoria Wood that he doesn't drink coffee, where as Our Mozzer often mentions drinking coffee. So, which one is lying? Interestingly, Morrissey laughed when he told Victoria that he never drank coffee, so perhaps he was having a little joke. A few of the BRS are also still struggling with the fact that Broken was tweeting during the Ireland v Austria football match, when it is known Morrissey was sat with Robbie Keane. Maybe we were all deluded after all!

*Goes off singing* Ooh, 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.

The MorrisseysWorld blog has gone, but Our Mozzer certainly hasn't, he has disguised himself as Morrissey, and issued a statement on the True-To-You website.

The new statement on TTY, entitled, 'Surely how I feel is not nothing?', has been signed by Morrissey, but much of the wording is a mirror image of the message Our Mozzer has been giving on the MorrisseysWorld blog, especially with regard to the illuminati and the 'New World Order'.

In the first sentence of his TTY statement, Morrissey/Our Mozzer writes, "I have seen a lack of truth that we dared not believe existed in modern Britain." This is immediately followed up by, "Margaret Thatcher has left the order of the world." WOW! It is SO blatant, that Morrissey may as well have written the actual words 'New World Order', but TRM (The Real Morrissey) probably doesn't feel comfortable enough to do that, as potentially it would be a career wrecker. If TRM declared that he believed a New World Order existed, the media, along with So-Low, would rejoice in the fact that Morrissey had completely and utterly, lost the plot.


MARGARET THATCHER - LEFT THE 'O'RDER 'O'F THE W'O'RLD


Perhaps I am wrong, and perhaps Morrissey would be comfortable enough to mention the 'New World Order', but MAYBE he just prefers to add a little bit of mystery. Perhaps Morrissey would like his fans to OPEN THEIR EYES, and discover the REAL meaning of his thinly veiled TTY message for themselves, but if that IS what he wants, then he had better not hold his breath, as his fans failed miserably in discovering his previous 'veiled offering', ie, MorrisseysWorld.

Leaving out the word 'New' from his TTY statement, makes NO difference whatsoever to the message, and if Morrissey's fans bother to google the words 'Margaret Thatcher order of the world', they will be led to the 'New World Order' and her involvement in it. There is NO other reason for Morrissey to use the words "order of the world" in his statement, other than to flag up his interests in the 'New World Order', and to give us MorrisseysWorlders YET ANOTHER sign, but will ANYBODY other than us MorrisseysWorlders pick up on it?

Over at the So-low place, they are already calling the statement "a rant", although bizarrely, one of the So-lowers who was VERY dismissive of MorrisseysWorld, Crystal Geezer, writes "This isn't about Thatcher. It's about the BBC and how the media molds the minds of the non-thinker." By jove, I think he's got it, but will he (I think Crystal is a he) be able to make the link to MorrisseysWorld, and realise that Morrissey's THREE statements on TTY about NOT being involved in MorrisseysWorld, were just his way of showing people that they need to OPEN THEIR EYES, and look beyond what they are told? Somehow, I doubt it.


THE SOLOWERS AT MORNING ASSEMBLY


Morrissey's TTY statement goes on to say, "In thought, we have killed Thatcher off a million times, but now that we have the reality of her death, the Metropolitan Police have set up new laws against us, and within paragraphs of law, we are not allowed to register our feelings so that anyone might overhear them." WOW! The words "thought" and "police" and "overhear them" ALL in the same sentence. All VERY 1984 and all VERY much the thoughts of Our Mozzer from the MW blog, ESPECIALLY his piece entitled 'The Morrissey World Order'.



THOUGHT POLICE


The statement continues, "Echoes of any Middle Eastern patch whose troubles are thought too uncivilized for a democratic England where chivalrous respect is afforded to "freedom", and where we are all servile to "democracy." It is, of course, The Big Lie." WOW! Notice that Morrissey doesn't write 'a big lie', he writes "The Big Lie", which is of course, the phrase used by both Adolf Hitler and George Orwell in 1984, but more recently, it has been used by the likes of David Icke, when talking about.... The Illuminati.

THE BIG LIE


This will all be FAR too uncomfortable for most Morrissey fans (and the public in general), which is why it is far easier to just dismiss everything Morrissey says as "a rant".

Morrissey's TTY statement concludes by saying, "modern media reporting in Britain is a disturbing fog of taboos and prejudices, reviving the divisions that Thatcher hatched, whilst hiding her horrors. Even in death, Thatcher remains 'the enemy within.' And the truth sleeps."

Apart from the media lying, and governments lying, the OTHER big deception is religion. I have often wondered how so called intelligent people, such as world leaders, ALL seem to believe in a God of some sort, but I have finally realised, THEY DON'T, but religion is a great way of scaring the masses, and keeping them in check.... but, perhaps that is a story for another day.

Today's story is about Thatcher's funeral. I haven't bothered watching it, as I have NO interest in her, but the news reports will all be full of phrases like, "thousands of mourners lined the streets of London to say farewell to a much loved leader", where as anybody with an ounce of intelligence will realise that in truth, the reports should be, "thousands of 'tourists' lined the streets of London, not to mourn, but because there was 'an event'."

TOURISTS LINE THE ROUTE OF THATCHER'S FUNERAL


"Surely how I feel is not nothing?" asks Morrissey. No, it's not "nothing", but what you feel is only recognised and felt by a few, where as the majority are happy to be told what to eat, what to think, when to prey and even what music to listen to. Don't let it frustrate you, let it do what it has always done, inspire you to write, educate, and entertain the few of us who DO understand. 'Surely How I Feel Is Not Nothing?' even L'OO'KS like a song title!

Morrissey's True-To-You website crashed yesterday after comedian Stephen Fry led his 5.7 miliion twitter followers to the site. Fry added a link to TTY as he tweeted, "Wow! Go it, Morrissey! The Mozzer NEVER holds back."

This isn't the first time that Fry has shown his admiration for Morrissey. In Nov 2009 he tweeted, "I hope we're all sitting at the feet of the divinity that is Morrissey on Desert Island Discs..." and then followed it up with, "Oh, when Morrissey is teasy and funny and silly and sweet I just want to DIE of pleasure..."

 In September 2010 Fry was interviewed on twitter by Johann Hari and tweeted, "Celibacy is just one of things that the Mozzer and I have in common..."


STEPHEN FRY - A TEA DRINKING, FORMER CELIBATE WHO LOVES WILDE, BUT WHAT DOES HE HAVE IN COMMON WITH 'THE MOZZER', CRICKET?


It would appear that Fry is a fan of the man he affectionately calls 'The Mozzer', but 'Our Mozzer' has at times been quite scathing about Fry on twitter, so is it that Morrissey doesn't feel the same affection for Fry, or is it just one of Our Mozzer's little jokes, and the reality is that Morrissey DOES like Fry? On the face of things, I would have thought that Stephen Fry would be the sort of person that Morrissey would find amusing and engaging, but with Morrissey you can never KNOW 'anything'. Our Mozzer was also scathing towards Ricky Gervais on twitter, but Our Mozzer has since claimed that Gervais is involved with MorrisseysWorld, so who knows what is true and what is not! For all any of us know, Morrissey might actually like Richard Madeley.... perhaps not!


RICHARD MADELEY - BLOCKED OUR MOZZER ON TWITTER. OH HOW I MISS THOSE DAYS WHEN MOZ WAS ON TWITTER, LAYING INTO CRASHING BORES LIKE MADELEY, JORDAN, EDID AND CO



Another person who CAN'T be taken at face value is 'Broken', and yesterday, he once again returned to the Twitterdilly Arms. Broken would appear to be Morrissey's 'opposite', as he regularly tweets about his love for meat and his dislike for PETA, among other things. Broken likes nothing more than to be provocative, although when he isn't being provocative, he is usually posting pictures of semi naked footballers and pop stars, which one can assume TRM would NEVER do if he had a twitter account, although presuming what Morrissey 'would' or 'wouldn't' do is NOT advisable, as we have all learnt in the past 18 plus months.

Here are Broken's highlights from yesterday's visit to The Twitterdilly Arms:

@chucknorrissey@GirlOnBike1102 Always. Since I realised I have nothing to live for, life couldn't be better.

That's it from me for today. Despite Morrissey's TTY statement of two days ago receiving LOTS of media attention, and plenty of discussion among the Solowers, NOBODY has questioned WHY Morrissey used the phrase 'Order of the World'. Not even Stephen Fry or any of his 5.7 million twitter followers have picked up on it. This whole MW phenomenon really MIGHT go on forever, in which case, we must hope and pray that Our Mozzer brings back '@MorrisseysWorld', and returns to The Twitterdilly Arms.

THE DELUDED DOZEN PRAY FOR THE RETURN OF OUR MOZZER

Our Mozzer, who art in bedsit
deluded be thy name.
Please Twit Arms come.
Thy scorn be done
in make belief pub as it is in press releases.
Give us this day our daily quotes,
and forgive Marcus the use of a fish and chip shop in his feature film,
as we forgive solowers who trespass against us.
And lead us not back to The Smiths,
but deliver us from Joyce.
For thine is the MorrisseysWorld,
and the bald head, and the hairy back,
for ever and ever.
Our Moz

My 'Mozziah Prayer' of yesterday has been answered, with the MorrisseysWorld blog returning with a hilarious new article. Our Mozzer has taken the TTY statement written by Morrissey about Thatcher, and turned it into a similar statement as if written by former Smiths drummer, Mike Joyce, about Morrissey. There are some very funny lines, including this one: "There will be no report as to how "the British people have succeeded in downloading Ding dong the seminal c*nt is dead to number 2", while a certain dead 'seminal c**t' can't even get a record deal posthumously, and we are engulfed in Third Reich manoeuvers (This is not America - don't forget the 'o!') as Morrissey assumes the role of sensible adult, finger-wagging at that naughty public who refuse to buy his latest mid-paced rock album with session musicians, and twelve songs, and three duffs, and one song about naked men." Genius, f**king genius, and I must ask, WHO would sign a posthumous record deal on Morrissey's behalf, his mum?


MS DWYER DURING POSTHUMOUS CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS


As I write this, nearly twenty four hours since the new MW article was posted, only NINE MorrisseysWorlders have left a comment. NINE!!! Where did it all go so wrong? How can a site that has had 361,132 hits, and once attracted hundreds, if not dozens of comments after each article, have fallen so far off the radar of Moz fans? What happened to the 8,000 twitter followers Our Mozzer had acquired before he forgot to re-activate his account? Is MorrisseysWorld mirroring Morrissey's career far more realistically than we could ever have predicted?

Meanwhile, former MorrisseysWorlder RosyMires has put her head back around the doors of the Twitterdilly Arms. Even SHE must be struggling to find a reason as to WHY Morrissey would use the words 'Order of the World', but if she is starting to question whether she got all this fantastically wrong, I doubt she would ever admit it. Mires has gone too far in the opposite direction to be able to swallow humble pie and admit that she was wrong. The reason for her visit to The Arms, was to post a photo of Morrissey's house. Has she resorted to stalking TRM in an attempt to prove he ISN'T Our Mozzer?



CHEZ MOZ (APPARENTLY) - DREADFULLY BLAND BLINDS, BUT THANKFULLY NO NETS!

Broken has once again disappeared from twitter, and NOBODY has contacted me to reclaim '@MorrisseysWorld'. The story continues.
