Day 590 - I Don't Like Cricket....

It has now been seven days since I last made a blog entry. The reason for this isn't because I have suddenly lost interest in the word of The Mozziah, far from it, it is just that he has completely gone to ground. There hasn't been a peep from either Morrissey, Our Mozzer, Broken or even 'R' in the past week, and so I have turned to my other passion, cricket. Here is a summary of my week:

Day 584 - Saturday April 20th
Watched eldest son play cricket in glorious English sunshine.

Day 585 - Sunday April 21st
Led my football team to a 1-0 cup final defeat in the morning. Fell on my sword and resigned my managerial position at lunchtime. Played cricket in the afternoon in bitter English wind.

Day 586 - Monday April 22nd
Watched youngest son play cricket in bitter English wind.

Day 587 - Tuesday April 23rd
Cleaned out my swimming pool in glorious English sunshine.

Day 588 - Wednesday April 24th
Watched Hampshire play cricket in Southampton in glorious English sunshine.

Day 589 - Thursday April 25th
Went for meeting with my Chemical Pathologist who informed me that, for the first time ever, I have the correct Triglyceride level. I now have no excuse not to score a hundred this season! It is obviously the imbalance of my triglycerides that has impaired my batting ability all these years. English weather irrelevant today.

My week of virtually wall to wall cricket, included me listening exclusively to 'Kill Uncle' on every car journey to every cricket ground. The new 2013 version of the album has grabbed me like I would never have believed, and it really does feel like a new record. Singing '(I'm) The End of the Family Line' at the top of your voice, with the sun shining and the car windows all open, is extremely therapeutic.

Today I will again be watching cricket, and tomorrow, and Sunday, and Monday. I shall abandon this blog thing until either Morrissey or Our Mozzer return.



Hit Counts on MorrisseysWorld - 362,332 up 1200 in the last week.
Hit Counts on FTM, which has been just as dormant, and is only here to follow MW - 194,116 up 3700 in the last week.

You couldn't make this up.

Day 593 - The Forgotten Blue Rose Society Interview

April 29, 2013, 12:50 am

Just over three weeks ago, Our Mozzer invited members of the Blue Rose Society to ask him thirty questions, which we did. The questions have thus far remained unanswered, so during this quiet period, I have decided to post them again, in the hope that Our Mozzer may take time out from his busy bedsit life to answer. Meanwhile, TRM has been photographed out and about in LA, whilst '@leonardnewell' tweeted on April 23rd to say, "Just landed in LA. Who was on our plane? Only bloody Morrissey."



"BLOODY MORRISSEY" IN LA LAST WEEK WITH CARLTON PALMER

So, let's try again:


Q1: From Climmy Worseapple
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. Your recent release of 'Last of the Famous International Playboys', did not make it into the Top 100 in the UK, did this disappoint you?
The Last Of The Famous International Playboys Digital Single Artwork
PLAYBOYS - DIDN'T MAKE THE TOP 100

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 completely change and 'sex up' my question 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? 

BATTING IN BOTH CREASES?



Q7: From TRB
I'm sorry about Lizzy's deeply personal question, I did warn them not to, but they just ignored 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. I have recently released my debut feature film, 'Papadopolous and Sons', would you do me the honour of watching it and letting me know what you think?

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.)

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


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 heathercat

Many of us have written comments about what MW has meant to us. What has the MW journey meant to you and what have you learned from it?
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? 
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?

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?
Roma-Piazzale Flaminio
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
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, will he be returning to twitter? 

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?


I shall now return to watch cricket, but if Our Mozzer answers the questions, I'll be back.

Day 615 - Dear Diary

(The scene is somewhere in California, possibly Escondido, possibly not! Morrissey is laying by a pool writing in a book. It is May 21st 2013.)

Dear Diary, since abandoning wet and windy England a month ago, I have been relaxing in the Californian sunshine, doing very little. England was depressing me SO very much, that I just had to get away. The media's canonization of Thatcher was bad enough, but HOW can I possibly recuperate from my endless list of illnesses in a country where the sky is grey, the people are grey, the buildings are grey, the cities are grey and worse of all, the entertainment business is grey. I have spent a lifetime feeling black, but I'm damned if I'll turn grey.

Oscar was SO right to turn his back on England, it was dying then, and it it is still dying now, and I know how it feels, but whilst my ailing body continues to defy all odds and carry on existing, I need somewhere to help it breath. If one of my endless list of illnesses IS serious, and I am nearing clocking off time, I may as well spend my final days in the sunshine. If nothing else, I'll meet my maker with the best tan he's ever seen.

I've given most of my staff some time off whilst I recuperate, although I have of course kept my hairdresser, Kevin Phillips on hand, after all, one can hardly sunbathe with a poor hairdo, I have standards to maintain you know! The other staff, such as Boz Boorer have been allowed to do their own thing, although I was rather annoyed when Boz arrived unannounced the other day, and after eating the contents of my fridge, he then set about lying by the pool in a pair of my trunks! He'd forgotten to pack any of his own, apparently. Needless to say that he stretched them beyond all recognition, so I have had to throw them away, not that I would have ever worn them again after 'he'd' been in them. Fat cunt.


BOZ BOORER, LEGS AKIMBO, RELAXING ON AN UNINVITED VISIT TO MY CALIFORNIAN HOME, IN 'MY' TRUNKS!



Since arriving in California, I have abandoned both my ridiculous blog thing, and have shut down all my twitter accounts. God only knows how I ever allowed myself to get sucked into such an utterly tedious existence. Boredom really is a plague, but thankfully I have managed to break myself away, and am confident that, once I have got my tan just to the right shade, I shall steer clear of such mind numbing blandness in the future, and will instead concentrate on my song writing genius.

It won't be long until another 'You Are The Quarry' style return is upon us, but this time with a punkier edge. I will reclaim my rightful place at the forefront of the popular music industry, and my next tour will be better than ever. I will put together a new collection of intro videos, I'll create new stage backdrops, and the new set list will be truly mesmerizing. At this moment in time, I have no s*dding idea what I am going to write songs about, but the tan is nowhere near finished yet, so no hurry. Anyway, the longer I'm away, the more I'll be missed, and the more they'll need me.

I thought that the blog thing of mine might have inspired me in the old song writing department, but it didn't, and it really should NEVER have happened, what WAS I thinking of? Luckily VERY few people ever thought it was me, so I can now lay it to rest and the unique otherness remains intact. Mind you, it was genius how I managed to convince everybody that it wasn't me, so perhaps I should make a very occasional reference to it, just to leave the seed of doubt. Can one 'leave' a seed of doubt, or can one only 'sew' a seed of doubt? Oh well, my seed is full of doubt whichever way.

I've been out to see a few concerts recently. Gwen Gaga, or whatever her name is, invited me to go and watch her 'perform' with the Rolling Stones at Staples. I really didn't want to go to, but Kevin Phillips, and the bass player chap from my band, whose name escapes me for now, were both very keen to go, as was cousin Robbie, if you'll forgive yet another of my keen puns, so I reluctantly said yes. I decided to go for a young Elvis look, dressed all in denim, and even though I do say so myself, I looked hot!

ME PULLING MY FUNNY, 'I'M NOT INTERESTED FACE' THAT I SOMETIMES PULL ON STAGE (I HAVE TO SAY, THE OLD QUIFF LOOKS 'VERY' GOOD, AND I REALLY DO LOOK LIKE ELVIS)

ME OR ELVIS? WHO CAN TELL!

I noticed a number of empty seats at Staples, not like when I played there and people were climbing over the walls to get in. Ms Gwendoline (who for some reason was trying to look like Madonna) sang 'Wild Horses' with Mick, at least, I think that's what they sang, although if I'm honest, it was hard to tell, and it certainly wasn't a patch on Katie Boyle's version, although I was thoughtful enough to tell Gwendoline that I thought she was great. Sometimes the truth is best left unsaid. I think I must be mellowing with age. And on the subject of Katie Boyle, I think Mick borrowed his blouse from her, and now I think about it, their hairstyles are pretty similar too. I hope I don't start morphing into Jessie J.



SUSAN 'KATIE' BOYLE AND MADONNA


MICK JAGGER


Watching the Stones proved beyond doubt, that I still have so much more to give, and this was further reinforced by my trip to see Tom Jones in West Hollywood. He must be pushing 75 by now *googles Tom Jones - 73 in June, I wasn't far off*, so  I'm a whole generation younger than him! If the likes of Tom and Muck Jogger can still pull it off, it makes me wonder just how many more albums 'I' can squeeze out.

Jesse came along with us to watch Tom Jones, and he insisted on taking a photograph of me and Tom, which I have posted on TTY. Mel Gibson's in the photo too, but Jesse's photography is so poor, he's managed to make poor Mel look like Shane Richie, or is it Shane Warne? Either way, he looks like a Shane.

I've just remembered that Tom Jones is a 'Sir'. I haven't called him 'Sir' in my TTY caption, and I certainly didn't call him 'Sir Tom' when we met. Oh well, if I had called him 'Sir Tom', I'd have ended up sounding patronising, just like when I refer to 'Sir Paul' or 'Sir Elton', and I wouldn't have wanted to do that, I quite like Tom, and after all, any man who gave us 'What's New Pussycat?' HAS to be ok, not that he wrote it of course, it was a Bacharach and David song, but still. Maybe I should do a cover of 'What's New Pussycat?' on my next tour, or better still, I could cover the 'b' side from the original single, which as everybody knows, is called 'The Rose'. That would put the (pussy) cat among the pigeons, the Solowers would go crazy. Perhaps a bit too obvious though, even for them. ('The Rose' - Tom Jones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFF-aSaRyjo).

Mel Gibson, Morrissey, Tom Jones
JESSE'S BLURRY PHOTO OF SHANE, ME AND 'SIR' TOM

I need to sign off now and concentrate on the old tan. A few of us are going out to the Cat & Fiddle later, to see in my birthday, so I'll have to get Kevin to sort out my hair. Tonight will be my last public outing for a while, I've become a little too sociable of late, and I'm in danger of damaging the mysterious otherness. A mysterious otherness doesn't just happen you know, it's an art form. Perhaps I WILL  give that blog of mine another airing..... hmm.

Day 630 - A 'New' 'BrokenReturns' Returns & MW Leaves Me

It has been a while since I blogged, mainly because there has been no Moz to blog about, although that hasn't stopped me in the past, so I guess the fact that I am spending virtually all day every day (everyday?) on a cricket pitch, could also have something to do with it.


THE CRICKET GROUND I PLAYED ON YESTERDAY


The reason I have taken to my blog today is because I am hopeful that we may be about to witness the return of Our Mozzer. I may be wrong, but I can report that I no longer own the '@MorrisseysWorld' twitter account, it has today been taken from me by a 'new' Broken, who has returned to the Twitterdilly Arms as '@BrokenReturns', which the eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed is NOT a 'new' account name at all, but it would appear that the 'old' '@BrokenReturns' account was closed for so long that it expired (just like '@MorrisseysWorld' did a few months ago), so a 'new' '@BrokenReturns' account has opened, although it could of course be that this 'new' Broken is nothing to do with 'Our Mozzer', so I may possibly have handed the MW account to a fraud, which if the Solowers are right, would actually mean that MW is now a fraud of a fraud! *Takes a breath*

All we can do now is sit and wait, although sitting is optional, and you may wish to stand instead.... or even lay (lie?) down, whichever is comfiest for you really, especially as it could be a long wait, although if it IS a 'fraud of a fraud', as opposed to just a 'fraud', or indeed 'the real deal', then one would presume that he/she won't hang around, and will start (fraudulently fraudulently) tweeting straight away!

If the 'new' MW does start tweeting, it will be interesting to see if people believe it to be the original, especially as some of the 'Deluded Dozen' are already questioning as to whether or not the 'new' Broken is indeed the 'old' Broken! One thing is for sure, if the new MW owner ISN'T 'Our Mozzer', and tries to impersonate him, he'll have to be EXTREMELY good. The MorrisseysWorld mystery continues.

Day 653 - Morrissey 25: Live

On March 2nd this year, Morrissey played an intimate concert for just 1800 people at Hollywood High School, which had sold out in just 12 seconds. The concert was specifically significant to the Blue Rose Society (the underground Morrissey fan club started by none other than Morrissey himself - read the whole of my blog for full details), as Morrissey accepted a BLUE ROSE on stage. 


THE SOLD OUT SIGN AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH, BUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BLUE 'OO' S, YOU'LL HAVE TO TRAWL BACK THROUGH THE WHOLE OF MY BLOG, ALTHOUGH READING 'DAY 379'  MIGHT BE A USEFUL PLACE TO START IF YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH THE WHOLE THING (See Here: http://followingthemozziah.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/i-know-nothing-about-twitter-morrissey.html ) AND HERE'S A CLUE......


A CLUE TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE 'OO' S


As to why Morrissey chose the Hollywood High School concert to accept a BLUE ROSE on stage was anybody's guess at the time, but now we have an answer. It has just been announced that Morrissey's concert at Hollywood High is not only going to be issued on DVD, but it is getting a full cinema release, so therefore, it is glaringly obvious that Morrissey accepted the Blue Rose at Hollywood High because HE KNEW that the concert would be seen by ALL his fans. He is giving all his thousands of admirers throughout the world the opportunity to join the BLUE ROSE SOCIETY, but the question is, will they even realise?


Embedded image permalink
MORRISSEY ACCEPTS THE BLUE ROSE AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH SCHOOL.... WHAT AM I ON ABOUT? HE DIDN'T 'ACCEPT' IT, HE WENT L'OO'KING FOR IT AND THEN LEANED DEEP INTO THE AUDIENCE TO GET IT

It is interesting that Moz took the BLUE ROSE during Alma Matters, the very first song of the night. It is my guess that as soon as he spotted it, he decided to grab it before it got crushed in the Moz Pit, and it was probably a wise decision, because even after one song, the rose was looking limp (See here at 2 mins 40 as Moz reaches to receive the BLUE ROSE from nine year old Devan:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToWcitbV5bg)

Morrissey placed the BLUE ROSE in his front trouser pocket and then, at the end of Alma Matters, he planted (excuse the pun) it on top of the drum kit, for ALL to see on DVD and on screen in cinemas (See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiuAg9c76_w).

'Morrissey 25: Live', which is a celebration of 25 years of Morrissey's solo career is, according to the website True-To-You.net, to receive a worldwide cinema release in August, so WILL all those fans who missed the excitement of the MorrisseysWorld blog, Morrissey's brilliant tweets, and the formation of the Blue Rose Society FINALLY WAKE UP, or will even this blatant move by Moz STILL go undetected by the fans and media?

Morrissey 25: Live
PROMOTIONAL POSTER FOR 25:LIVE

An official trailer for 'Morrissey 25: Live has been released on You tube, and even features a close up of nine year old Devan in the audience, holing up a poster which reads 'At Last I am Born.' (See Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp0w1_8f6gQ).



ROSES APLENTY WERE ON DISPLAY AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH..... WHICH SOON THE WORLD WILL SEE

It will be interesting to see if Moz gives any more 'Blue Rose Signs' before the '25:Live' film comes out, and he will certainly have opportunity, because since my last blog entry, The Mozziah has announced that he is going back on the road, albeit a South American road, or 'roads' to be precise, as he is taking the tour to Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. The series of concerts kick off on July 9th at the Jockey Club in Lima, Peru, which regular readers of my blog will remember was the venue where in March 2012, Morrissey made a masonic 'hand on heart' sign during 'There is a Light That Never goes Out', which had been mentioned by Moz himself in the MorrisseysWorld chatroom BEFORE any footage was released on Youtube.


Morrissey's South American tour includes a free 'intimate night' in Chile on July 26th. 



INTIMATE AND FREE

Mrs Ratsback senior has something in common with Moz, ie, she used to charge for intimate nights, but she too now offers them for free! 




MRS RATSBACK SENIOR - FREE

So now we wait. There has been no sign of either the MorrisseysWorld blog or the '@MorrisseysWorld' twitter account being used of late, and we no longer even know if Moz still owns '@MW', but in just ELEVEN DAYS TIME, Morrissey is back on stage, and the excitement begins all over again. 

Will there be 'signs' on stage? Will there be roses in the audience? Will Morrissey accept roses on stage? Will he wear the BLUE ROSE RING which he was given at Staples in front of 20,000 people? Will we in England get the two concerts later this year that we were promised via twitter? 

Questions, questions, questions.... and on the subject of questions, will 'Our Mozzer' EVER answer the interview questions posted by the blue Rose Society members?

Time, as ever..........

Trouble Loves us all.

The time has come! No, I am not referring to the England vs Australia Ashes series which starts this week (although that is pretty damn exciting!), I am of course referring to the return to the stage this evening of The Mozziah - Morrissey is back! *Waves palm leaves, blue roses etc*

Tonight, despite his recent near touches with death, Morrissey will walk onto the stage at the Jockey Club in Lima, and all will once again be well with the world. From various pictures posted around the internet, Morrissey looks to be in good nick, with no signs of imminent death, so hopefully it will be an illness (and death) free tour.

MYLENE KLASS CLINGS TO FAME... LITERALLY

Morrissey once said in an interview that, "It is incredibly expensive to tour, and without a sponsor or a rich spinster aunt, we can't travel far. I'd need to inherit a shipping fortune to get myself to South America." Despite Mozzer's claims, here he is, back in South America for the second year on the trot, but it would appear that it isn't thanks to a rich spinster aunt, but to 'Cristal', Chile's Number 1 lager.








So, as we wait with anticipation for Morrissey's return to the stage (which will be in the middle of the night in the UK as we are 6 hours ahead of Lima), what songs can we expect to hear, and will there be much Youtube footage? If a leaked set list from rehearsals is to be believed, we are in for a treat.




'Hand in Glove' as an opener would be mesmerizing, and no doubt everybody would think it is Morrissey singing it to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the song, but the Blue Rose Society would of course think differently. I once wrote in this very blog that the 'Blue Rose Society' was OUR 'Hand in Glove', and it could well be that Morrissey has picked up on that. What is more, this is a tour celebrating 25 years as a solo artist, NOT 30 years as a singer!

Alternatively, Morrissey could of course be opening with 'HiG' as his way of putting two fingers up to Mike Joyce, who back in January told The Sun newspaper that he had had a dream about The Smiths getting back together and opening with 'HiG'. If Morrissey opens with 'HiG', I would interpret it as Morrissey saying to Joyce, 'I am still here, still singing my songs, and all you have is dreams.... you cunt'.

The inclusion of 'Yes I am Blind' and 'Asleep' into the set would surely be as a result of them both being sung earlier in the year during the 'Speedway' pause. It's almost as though the 'Speedway' pause is being used as a preview of what is to come at a later date. The same happened with 'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore', although there has been no sign of a full rendition of Victoria Wood's 'Northerners'!

If this is to be the set list in Lima, I will be especially looking out for Youtube footage of 'There is a Light That Never goes Out' and 'I Know It's Over', to see if there are any references to MorrisseysWorld or the Blue Rose Society. It was during 'Light' in Lima last year that Moz held his heart in a masonic pose having told us on the MW blog to look out for it. The reason I will be looking out for 'I Know It's Over' is because I was left the following message on my last blog entry:


fpy fpy fpy [sidr4 July 2013 11:19
Dpttu Tsy
O lmpe oyd pbrt
#NTD


Perhaps the message ISN'T from my old friend 'Spirit of Nico', but maybe.....


And finally for today, I have in the past published the latest audience figures from my blog, which always showed an increase in readership from whatever country Morrissey happened to be in. It always amused Loughton Lil (whatever happened to him?), but my latest audience figures show NO sign of any readers from Peru, so I think it is safe to say that Morrissey no longer follows me following him, although of course I haven't actually written anything since he's been in Peru, so I will see if anything happens to the figures now that I've started writing again!

The tour is off! Morrissey has cancelled his South American tour at the last minute, and the fear is that illness has struck again. It could of course be that my mentioning of The Ashes series has got Moz all excited, and he has grabbed the first flight home so that he can watch Jimmy Anderson and Co rip the Aussies apart, but unfortunately it's probably a bit more serious than that.

Morrissey will no doubt be desperately disappointed that he has been unable to return to the stage, but hopefully he can now be around the right people, eating the right foods, and be looked after until he is properly ready to return to singing live again. Perhaps we will see him turn up unannounced at Bestival on September 7th to help JM with some old Smiths songs. You never know!

Get well soon Mozzer.

I shall now return outdoors, into the glorious English sunshine that we are currently enjoying, and I shall continue to enjoy the best cricket season that I have had for years and years. I may be some time.....


Oh, and by the way, he did tune in after all! Here are the latest FTM audience figures:

Day 670 - The Penne is Mightier Than the Chord

Forgive me Father, for I have binned!

Following my last blog entry of July 10th, 'Blue Rose' himself left the following comment:



It would require a VERY unambiguous sign to bring me back, and unfortunately The True Artiste doesn't DO unambiguous.

Our Mozzer



This was the first time that Morrissey/Our Mozzer/The Mozziah/Blue Rose had left a comment on my blog for many months, and it proved what many of us had hoped and suspected, that Mozzer was still visiting these pages, and was still maintaining an interest in The Blue Rose Society.


Our Mozzer's comment immediately got me wondering if we were about to get 'a sign', albeit not an 'unambiguous' one, and WE DID, but I binned it by mistake! Let me explain. Apart from the regular members of the 'Deluded Dozen' who often leave comments on my blog, I also get left an awful lot of spam comments, plus a number of nasty comments from the Solowers, so when I can be bothered, I trawl through and delete them. I was on one such trawl the other day, when I deleted a comment left by somebody calling themselves 'Ambiguous', which mentioned "The whorin' father." I had no idea what this comment was about, and presumed it was a solower, so I deleted it. Later that day, Morrissey issued a statement on TTY regarding his food poisoning incident, and he posted a photo of.... well, see for yourself:



12 July 2013
See the luck I've had

Morrissey Live
I can't give words to the sorrow I feel at the loss of perfect Peru. Oh, black cloud. After such a victorious and uplifting welcome of Lima love, the contaminated jinx had its way via a simple restaurant meal of penne pasta and tomato. Three hours later, both I, and security Liam have collapsed with a deadly and delirious bedridden disease. Five days of round-the-clock medical supervision just barely controls the corrosively toxic food poisoning. I know my luck too well. Sorrow replaces joy, and in every dream home a heartache. It could only be me.
I have returned to Los Angeles and to the expert supervision of my doctor Jeremy Fine, who assures me that I shall be fine (although not in the gossamer, powdery sense) for our upcoming shows in Argentina and Brazil. I have absolutely no idea where my beloved Chile has gone. In the heat of cancellations and postponements, the humiliation and mortification I feel on a personal level is too mammoth to be measured. If my spirits climb down any lower I could never again find the dignity to stand upright. We all live at the mercy of biological chance, and although I am not one to take refuge in clichés, I repeat my very servile apologies to any and all who back-packed their way to Peru. Alas, the dark shadow made the same journey.
Each year of life brings us nearer to our decline, but I will continue to seek a listener until I'm dead in a ditch.
with all the soul of the world
MORRISSEY
12 July 2013, Los Angeles.



DR JEREMY FINE - VOTED 'CALIFORNIA'S MOST COMPASSIONATE DOCTOR' 2010 (TRUE!)



So, it would appear that I deleted an 'ambiguous' sign. Now we must wait for an 'unambiguous' one, and the wait might not have to be too long, because the good news is, the South American tour is BACK ON, starting in Buenos Aires on July 28th.

Day 679 - TWTWTW... FTM Is Tipped the Wink as Morrissey's Backers Run Out of Petrol, MW Is Back, Part of an EXCLUSIVE Interview and more!

Last Tuesday I jetted off on holiday to the Canary Islands, happy in the knowledge that I was to be away from the internet for a week, with NOTHING happening in the world of Morrissey, as we awaited the eventual start of his tour in Argentina next week. How wrong I was!

No sooner had I left than BAM (No, not the Brooklyn Academy of Music, that has nothing to do with anything here, except for the fact that they keep sending me regular emails telling me what's on at their lovely theatre (theater), just because I happened to visit it earlier this year. If they think I'm going to hop on a plane to New York just to come and watch their 'Summer Youth Programs (Programmes)', then they are sadly mistaken!) Where was I before that long winded bracket started? Oh yes... No sooner had I left (the UK for my holiday in the Canaries (Tenerife to be precise), then BAM, the MorrisseysWorld blog suddenly reappeared with the following article -
 'Our Mozzer pledges to return if Morrissey gives one of the following signs:' This was followed by a list of:
1. Morrissey announces a British concert in a leisure centre (Ed - Evens Favourite)
2. an official photograph with a blue rose and Morrissey together (20/1)
3. Morrissey sings or quotes "Baby" by Justin Bieber live or in an interview (33/1)
4. Morrissey gives an official interview to FollowingTheMozziah.Blogspot.Com (1000/1)

This was then followed by a hilarious "brief snippet" of 'The Mozzer World Order Part 2', which was no doubt written months ago.

This BAM was then immediately followed by WHAM (No, not George and Andrew getting back together with Pepsi & Shirley)... a posting on my blog by Morrissey, which read:


Watch closely. L00K.


This was then followed by CALAM (ITY). A TTY statement announcing that the South American tour was off because the promotors had no petrol money left (or something like that!) The TTY statement was actually entitled 'If I By Chance Your Eye Offend You', which I believe is a Houseman quote. The "Watch closely", "LooK" and 'Eye' references were all no doubt coincidental, and the fact that the TTY statement is dated July 19th makes it l'oo'k as though the comment on my blog came later, but it's all smoke and mirrors, I can confirm that the TTY statement DEFINITELY WASN'T THERE when the above was posted on my blog... or WAS it?


Despite Our Mozzer declaring that the MW site would "remain dead" unless one of the four listed things occurred, on Sunday 21st July, ANOTHER hugely amusing article appeared, entitled 'The Art Of Doing Nothing', and then yesterday, the piece considered by some to be Our Mozzer's finest hour was republished, 'A Brief Surrealist Essay on Emnity', along with a few other old favourites including 'Bans Committee'.

The new articles (and the old of course), really are very good, so are we to see more, or does one of the 4 in the list now have to happen first?

Whilst I idled my week away in the sun, I apparently missed a few sessions of Our Mozzer in the MW chat room, and although somebody has kindly published a couple of the things mentioned on my blog, I have no idea what else may have been said, so if you were there, please leave comment to let me know. From the comments that HAVE been left, it would appear the Our Mozzer started to answer the interview questions that members of the BRS posted months ago. Here are the questions and answers:


Climmy Worseapple Question:
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. Your recent release of 'Last of the Famous International Playboys', did not make it into the Top 100 in the UK, did this disappoint you?

Morrissey1959 response:
Now that I'm about as relevant as a bar of soap at a heavy metal gathering, it came as little surprise that my single failed to chart. The noise generation want immediate, unimaginative melody, words attuned to the repulsive cannabis-fuelled orgy that passes for pop culture these days, and electronic sounds. I gave them... well, I gave them exactly that - and it still failed!
Similarly my mystique could never be compared to that of Garbo. I would compare myself to Julie Goodyear, or, at a push, Larry Grayson.

Lizzycatmoz Question:
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 completely change and 'sex up' my question 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?

Morrissey1959 response:
I don't bat at all. And on the odd occasion I've tried, the balls always seem to catch me off-guard.

MozzeriansATW Question:
Will you ever let everyone know that you do know about the BlueRosESociety? Will you let it be known?

Morrissey1959 response:
One day the world will hear who is behind MorrisseysWorld. I firmly believe this experience will go down as one of the most bizarre and unprecedented in history.
For years I was available.
And only a handful noticed.

Lizzycatmoz Question:
It must be a unique experience that someone as famous and iconic as you, allows us to interact with you. I still can't believe that it happens even after 2 years.

Morrissey1959 response:
Well I am not Morrissey
But yes, I take your point
I wonder how history will judge this experiment
insanity? Genius? The desperation of an artist in decline? A intimate and beautiful digression?
Once the public at large know this site will vanish only a small number will have seen everything, and will understand.









There is so much more that I wanted to write today, but I have run out of time. I am off to play cricket, and tomorrow I am away watching cricket in a place called Hook. I have no time to mention Moz being photographed in an LA record shop, being spotted at a Savage concert, the Guardian writing Morrissey off YET AGAIN, Rustic Bland including a Moz song on Des Island Discs (well done Rustle for not choosing a cliche Smiths song) etc etc. I haven't even found time to break up my blog with some amusing photos, so I doubt anybody is still reading this far down the page, but what am I to do... my cricket team need me, so off I must trot.

Before I go, I MUST mention that Comrade Harps has written a hysterical parody piece entitled 'These Men Here'. Just as Morrissey the lyricist influenced many bands with his writing, his alter ego, 'Our Mozzer', is doing the same with his satirical writing. I hope we see more from Comrade Harps, his first piece really is very, very funny. Read here : http://seasoncreep.blogspot.com.au/p/thesemen-here-amorrissey-parody-piece.html

And finally for today, 'GirlWithout' has pointed out that the 'Still Whorin' Father' reference comes from a piece written on Solow on Boxing Day 2009 by Father Neil Horan. See if you recognise the writing style: http://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/106182-Morrissey-has-Goose-for-Christmas.

Day 684 - MorrisseysWorld is Dead... And So Is FollowingTheMozziah

MorrisseysWorld is over... AGAIN!

Two new articles have been posted over the weekend on the MorrisseysWorld.blogspot.com website thingy, the first entitled, 'Why I Created MorrisseysWorld by 'Broken' ', and the second, 'B*gger Them All. They Don't Deserve Me Anyway'.

In the first article, the mysterious 'Broken' writes that it was HE who created MW, explaining that he probably did it because he is "a fat c*nt with no life." His self loathing continues as he describes himself as "a pointless and social phobic gay virgin in his mid-late 30s." To try and help me get a better picture of this genius, whose work I have admired greatly for the past two years, I typed the words 'Gay, fat, pointless, social phobic cunt' into google images, and on the front page came this picture (try it if you don't believe me):



SOCIAL PHOBIC C*NT... AND POSSIBLE AUTHOR OF MORRISSEYSWORLD

Also on the same google image front page is this picture, which is actually the spitting mage of my late grandmother Daisy, but COULD it be Morrissey's mam? Is SHE the one behind MorrisseysWorld?

MORRISSEY'S MAM... POSSIBLE AUTHOR OF MORRISSEYSWORLD

Broken's article also ponders as to WHY Morrissey made all of the MW pledges come true; such as the taking off of the shirt at the Palladium, the accepting of the red, white and blue roses, the accepting of the blue rose ring, the mysterious owl eye signs, the 'V' sign, the tour announcements etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

Broken signs off by once again admitting that he is a hairy backed bedsit dweller with bunions, and asks me to post one more of my "obsequious blog articles", to make him "feel like a man."

The second new MW article merely has the following two pictures:








So, there we have it, MorrisseysWorld is OVER! Morrissey1959 apparently returned to the MW chatroom yesterday, but as I wasn't there, and none of the 'Deluded Dozen' want to share their 'secret' chats anymore, I have nothing to tell. I created Following The Mozziah to report on EVERYTHING related to MorrisseysWorld, but now it is over, Following The Mozziah is dead too! I shall write one last parody piece, and then be on my way.

As for the REAL Morrissey, he is happily wandering around LA, posing for pictures with his new personal assistant, John Robb!


MORRISSEY WITH NEW PA, JOHN ROBB. NOTE THE BLUE FOUR LEAF CLOVERS ON THE SHIRT OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER! A COINCIDENCE? 'LIFE' IS A COINCIDENCE!

The Blue Rose Society shall live forever, but from me, it is a final thank you and goodbye.

Day 687 - "Not at Liberty to Comment"

On Monday, I posted my final blog entry, and started to say goodbyes to my regular readers as they left messages in the comments section. Having said my goodbyes to; Mancladmozfan, Romina, EARS, GOB, Yunara, Heathercat, Monti and Lizzycat, I then received the following message, which unlike all the others, wasn't exactly a 'thank you' for all my hard work!:


You are closing the Blog? You have absolutely no right to do so, old son. Just because a certain seminal artiste wishes to generate a little publicity by closing down his blog again, that does not give his lackeys the right to do the same. In fact, one would expect your blog to run indefinitely and for it to cover my more mesmerizing blog's return urgently and immediately, and in fawning fashion, and NOT after a delay of seven dreary days. Holidays are no excuse old son. You've cost me upwards of fifteen views and perhaps two comments, of which one might have been spam.

Now get on with that parody.

M.


I continued to say goodbyes to others who had left messages, ie GWO and Chuck (aka SmallBoyJokes), before it dawned on me that I was wasting my time. The Mozziah had spoken, and he had told me that I was going nowhere (ain't that the truth), whilst HE in the meantime was going somewhere... back to the UK.


MOZ PICTURED AT TOM BRADLEY AIRPORT IN LA, APPARENTLY ON HIS WAY BACK TO THE UK (ACCORDING TO CLOVER DEAN & MANC LAD) (NOTE NIGEL LYTHGOE IN THE BACKGROUND TRYING TO GET IN ON THE PHOTO)


It would appear I am stuck here indefinitely, so with this in mind, I didn't bother saying goodbyes to the others who had taken the time to leave messages on my last blog entry, who for the record were; (the long lost) Mme de Stael Ghost, Comrade Harps, Clover Dean, (the even longer lost ) Loughton Lil, Rosy Mires (why is she still reading this blog?) and Fancy123.

So here I am... back YET AGAIN! The final parody that I was going to publish is still in production, and part one will be published within the next day or two, but WHAT of MorrisseysWorld I hear you cry? I can report that the blog has GONE, but things are afoot!

A new twitter account has opened up in the last 24 hours, with the name '@RealMorrissey', with a user name of '@MorrisseysWorld'. Could this possibly be 'Our Mozzer', and if it is WHY isn't he using the old 'MorrisseysWorld' account? He is certainly laying claim to being the REAL Morrissey by having the user name, er, 'Real Morrissey', but should we believe this new tweeter, or is it an imposter? One of his first tweets stated, "The Blue Rose appears prompting my return as promised. M". One of the last things to appear on the MorrisseysWorld blog before it disappeared, was a message from Our Mozzer saying he would return if, "An official photograph with Morrissey and a blue rose together" appears. So, HAS such a photograph appeared? I haven't seen one, and until I do, I will approach  '@RealMorrissey' with caution, and I'm sure that time, as ever....

ME, MOZ AND A BLUE ROSE IN BROOKLYN... BUT IT'S NOT AN 'OFFICIAL' PHOTO


There have been various newspapers and music magazines suggesting that the new Morrissey25 film is Morrissey's "coded farewell", suggesting that he is about to retire. I tweeted to say that I thought the film was in fact a coded link to the Blue Rose Society. This prompted '@RealMorrissey' to tweet, "@TheRatsBack Your thoughts are indeed correct my dearest rodent. M." The same tweeter followed this up with, "L(00)k, and you will find. M". One thing is for sure, if somebody is using the name 'Real Morrissey', and is ACTUALLY claiming to be Morrissey, SURELY if it ISN'T Morrissey, the REAL 'Real Morrissey' would get him/her stopped, just like previous tweeters claiming to be Morrissey have had their accounts suspended? Hmm, time as ever... Oh, I've already typed that a paragraph ago! Oh, well, time as ever...


Meanwhile, I have been exchanging tweets with James Russell, the director of 'Morrissey25'. It started when he tweeted, "Kevin? David? Devan? ".

I immediately realised that he was asking what the name was of the boy who appears in the film, and hands the BLUE ROSE to Morrissey at Hollywood High School. I replied to James, informing him it was Devan and sent him a link to 'The History of The Blue Rose Society' for good measure. James replied:


18h
Devan it is. And a funny bit of the film. I've read about the blue rose.



I asked James what he made of BLUE ROSE, and also asked him why 'You're the One for Me, Fatty' had been left out of the film (as it wasn't listed on the Record Store tracklisting), but he informed me that it HADN'T been left out, and shortly after, the Record Store listing was corrected! James had failed to mention his thoughts on BLUE ROSE, so I pushed him again, and got the following reply:


3h
Blue Rose? Im not at liberty to comment ;-)

So, has Morrissey told James Russell all about the BLUE ROSE SOCIETY, but then gagged him, or is James just bluffing?


JAMES RUSSELL - "NOT AT LIBERTY TO COMMENT" ON THE BLUE ROSE

The story continues.

Day 688 - The Second Coming?

Months ago, the MorrisseysWorld website pledged that Morrissey would appear with a Blue Rose. He has now done this on a number of occasions (as documented here: http://bluerosesociety.blogspot.co.uk/).

Just before the MorrisseysWorld website disappeared, the author pledged that he would reappear if there was, "an official photograph with a blue rose and Morrissey together." Yesterday I reported that a new twitter account had appeared, with the user name, '@RealMorrissey'. Many of the MorrissysWorlders/Blue Rosers/Deluded Dozen have taken this new account with a pinch of salt, but as I wrote yesterday, anybody bold enough to use the name 'Real Morrissey' can't be ignored, especially when one of their first tweets was:


31 Jul
The Blue Rose appears prompting my return as promised. M


I wrote yesterday that I had seen no such 'official photograph'... but now I have! The company distributing the new Morrissey 25:Live film are called Specticast, and on their website, they have three promo images to promote the film. One of the photos is the one below, which shows Morrissey with a BLUE ROSE hanging from his right trouser pocket, just after he took it from nine year old Devan.


THE 'OFFICIAL' PHOTOGRAPH OF MORRISSEY AND THE BLUE ROSE (TAKEN BY SCOTT UCIDA)

MORRISSEY REACHING TO RECEIVE THE BLUE ROSE FROM DEVAN AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH SCHOOL

So, IS this new twitter account REALLY Morrissey? If it is, we must surely take this as the 'Second Coming' of The Mozziah. Perhaps after four years of subtle hints, suggestions and signs via MorrisseysWorld, Morrissey has decided to make it a little more obvious. As I wrote yesterday, would Morrissey really let an imposter use the twitter name 'Real Morrissey', and let somebody pass themselves off as him?

One thing is for sure, this new twitter account is starting to stir up interest, as Morrissey fans ask 'is it or isn't it?' In the first thirty six hours, the '@RealMorrissey' account has amassed 37 followers. Here are some of the tweets:


21h
The devil made me official. M

21h
The news of my demise has been grossly misled. M


21h
Statement in following weeks on tw00-to-you. M



Could this mean that Morrissey will be announcing on True-To-You.net that he has now joined twitter?

In response to James Russell tweeting about BLUE ROSE yesterday, 'Real Morrissey' tweeted:


20h
J.R...ssshh...as you are aware, this is mine alone. M

A tweet was even sent to Rustle Brind:

18h
shall you tell or I?

Other tweets from today included:


6h
Beautiful things are soon to happen when the gladiolus is replaced by the rose. M

2h
Morrissey1959 and I, are one. M




I meant to write yesterday, and completely forgot, that 'Broken' had recently mentioned on the MW blog, that when Morrissey accepted the Blue Rose Ring from Vulgar Angie at the Staples Center, he used the words, "as in the flower." I had always thought that Morrissey had said, "and a flower?", as though he was asking for a rose. Earlier today I decided to listen to the audio again on Youtube, but when I tried to find it, it had gone! I tweeted 'Real Morrissey' to ask if it's disappearance had been anything to do with him, and he replied:


52m
I could not possibly be suggesting anything different...not directly anyh0w. M




I will continue to watch '@RealMorrissey' with interest. Is this the second coming? Time as ever.

Finally for today, I have recently been contacted on twitter by somebody called '@DrDevereux', who apparently is the co-editor of a book that I've never heard of called, 'Morrissey: Fandom'. He sought my views on the current 'Morrissey situation'. I pointed him in the direction of MorrisseysWorld and... he BLOCKED me! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? WHAT ARE THEY SCARED OF? Anyway, Dr Devereux is giving a speech about Morrissey and fandom at the IFI Dublin on Aug 26th, just before the new film is screened, but as Dr D is oblivious to the fact that the film is a coded link to the Blue Rose, I would suggest his talk is pointless, so I will instead watch the film at the Vue in Portsmouth, with a box of popcorn and a diet coke!

*Goes off singing* Trouble loves me, trouble needs me, two things more than you do....

STOP PRESS: This just in from the MW chat:

To Wreck, My Own Way (Act 1 - Scene 1)

A PARODY STORY (All characters in this story are fictitious, and any resemblance to real people, such as Morrissey, Boz Boorer and Betty Dwyer, are purely coincidental, and figments of your over active imagination... you c*nt!)

(The scene is set in Cheshire. A man, who some might say resembles Boz Boorer (which as I have already pointed out, is your fault, not mine), pulls into the drive of a secluded, and beautiful detached house, which has a 'For Sale' board outside. The man rolls out of his car (with some difficulty, due to his slightly excessive weight), and rings the doorbell, which plays 'Red is the Rose'. The door is answered by a well presented lady in her early to mid seventies, who MAY look slightly like Morrissey's mother, but again, this is YOUR interpretation, not mine!)


BOZ ARRIVES AT CHEZ MOZ

BETTY (Thick Irish accent): Top of the morning to you Mortin. Is that a new car I see?

BOZ (London accent. Blinking hard.): Hello Mrs, I mean, er Ms, er...

BETTY: (Interrupting) Mortin! How many times must I tell you? Call me Auntie Betty. (Betty plants a big kiss on Boz's lips, which he immediately wipes off, just like all young boys do when they are kissed by a relative or family friend that we all call auntie, even though they aren't really your auntie at all!)

BOZ: Is Moz in Mrs, er, (mumbling and looking at the floor) Auntie Betty?

BETTY: Where else would he be Mortin? Although God only knows (crosses herself) what I'm going to do with him when the house is sold.

BOZ: Yes, I saw the for sale sign, so you're moving then?

BETTY: No, choice Mortin. What with the doctors bills and the South American fiasco, we're up the proverbial stream with not so much as a lolly pop stick, but we'll be foine, the stairs were getting too much for me here anyway! Hopefully we can find a little semi-detached bungalow to rent. Our Jackie has said she'll help out with the deposit, and her two boys have promised to sort a van, so one way or the other, we'll be ok. You go on up Mortin, you'll find Steven in his bedroom... as usual! I'll bring you boys a pot of tea in a moment, and I've got in some of those pain-au-raisons from the co-op that you're fond of.

BOZ: (Blinking) Thanks aunt.., er,...thanks. (Boz goes up the stairs and knocks on Morrissey's bedroom door).

Day 692 - James Russell and The Blue Rose

At 4am Uk time this morning, having not tweeted for four days, James Russell (@JamesRussellMCD), the director of the film 'Morrissey 25: Live', posted the following picture on twitter. There was no message, JUST the picture:



A BLUE ROSE - TWEETED BY JAMES RUSSELL


So, WHAT can this mean? It would appear from James Russell's tweets, that as well as filming the Hollywood High School concert, he also attended the concert at The Staples Center, where the Vice President of the BLUE ROSE SOCIETY, Vulgar Angie, presented Morrissey with the 'Blue Rose Ring' in front of 20,000 people. James would, of course, have also noticed Morrissey accepting the BLUE ROSE from Devan at the Hollywood High concert, but would he have KNOWN that Russell Brand's referral to Morrissey as 'Lord Mudslide' in his introductory speech, had come STRAIGHT from the MorrisseysWorld blog?

HAS Morrissey told James Russell all about BLUE ROSE, or has he worked out himself that Morrissey is behind it? I fancy the latter, but either way, I think it is safe to say that James Russell's tweet of a BLUE ROSE, would indicate that he is now a member of the Blue Rose Society, and he is VERY welcome.

On Day 483 (Weds 9th Jan 2013) of this little blog of mine, I wrote toward the end of my blog entry, "Disaster has struck, I can't find my toothbrush. I can't arrive at the Tilles Center tonight and expect Moz to take the Blue Rose from my teeth with my breath smelling of last night's pasta!" That VERY night, I stood open mouthed at the Tilles Center in Greenvale, Long Island, as Morrissey walked onto the stage for his encore, and said these EXACT words, "I've been looking for someone to share my toothbrush with, which is why I came here. All in vain."


ME - OPEN MOUTHED AT TILLES CENTER, LONG ISLAND

Of ALL the 'coincidences' that have occurred on this whole incredible two year journey, and YES, it really HAS been two years since I discovered the MorrisseysWorld blog... well, two years next month if you want to split hairs... where was I? Oh yes! Of ALL the 'coincidences' that have occurred in this whole incredible journey, the 'toothbrush' incident was THE most personal one to me, and although by that stage I had NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER that Morrissey was behind MorrisseysWorld, it shut the door to any chance of it NOT being Moz.

The reason I am writing about the 'toothbrush' incident today, is because this morning, I went onto Youtube to replay the 'toothbrush' clip from Tilles Center, and it has been removed! Here is where it once stood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHDR5SPql6Q&feature=youtu.be.

I could have put this disappearance down to being just, 'one of those things', but last week, I discovered that the Youtube clip where Vulgar Angie gave Morrissey the Blue Rose Ring at Staples Center, had ALSO been removed! Here is where it once stood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqPAfo3u3_Y.



VULGAR ANGIE AND KRISTEEN YOUNG WITH THE 'BLUE ROSE RING'

So, is the disappearance of these video clips just a 'coincidence', or is SOMEBODY having them taken down? Could Morrissey possibly be looking to clear all tracks connecting him to MorrisseysWorld? The MorrisseysWorld blog has gone, and if my blog wasn't here, there would be NO record of all the happenings of the past two years. Could it be that my blog will be the next thing to disappear? 

The video clip of Morrissey receiving the first Blue Rose, at Radio City on October 10th last year still remains, and can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPqwwA0ZQiQ. After receiving that first blue rose from twelve year old Kyle Douglas, Morrissey wrote on the MorrisseysWorld blog, "What does blue rose mean? You will see." He followed this up by tweeting, "Blue Rose fulfilled BUT what does it all mean? Over to you, Morrissey."


MORRISSEY WEARING THE 'FIRST' BLUE ROSE - BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?


Blue Rose has still never been explained, so could it be that the new Morrissey 25:Live film will offer an answer? It should be remembered that the Blue Rose in the US programme (program) Twin Peaks was NEVER explained, so perhaps we shouldn't hold our collective breaths. As far as I see it, Morrissey IS Blue Rose, and the film will serve as nothing more than Morrissey adding to the mystery. Will the masses even notice the Blue Rose in the film, and if they do, will they bother to question it's meaning? I doubt it.



LIL THE DANCER IN TWIN PEAKS WEARING THE BLUE ROSE, THE MEANING OF WHICH WAS NEVER EXPLAINED

Meanwhile, I along with a number of the other members of the 'Deluded Dozen', have publicly declared that we do not believe that '@RealMorrissey' is Our Mozzer. The clincher for me came when '@RealMorrissey' tweeted the following:


6 Aug
Would like to use the medium of Twitter to announce that is the appointed leader of the BRS in the United States. M



GOB quickly pointed out to '@RealMorrissey' that Kyle was President of the Blue Rose Society, an appointment made by none other than Our Mozzer, who even described Kyle as, "the hero of the Blue Rose Society" on the MW blog. '@RealMorrissey' replied to GOB saying, "Not by my appointment." If '@RealMorrissey' is using this statement to say that he ISN'T Our Mozzer, then that is all well and good, but he contradicted this in an earlier tweet, where he said that he IS Morrissey1959, which as everybody knows, IS Our Mozzer!


2 Aug
Morrissey1959 and I, are one. M



If '@RealMorrissey' is trying to make out that he is Morrissey, but ISN'T Our Mozzer, then he seems to be getting himself a little muddled!

The mysteries continue.

Day 697 - Coincidentally Yours... But You KNOW It's Not Him

On August 3rd 2011, the now defunct blog, 'MorrisseysWorld', posted a parody article in which Morrissey and Boz Boorer reviewed Justin Bieber's live DVD, 'Never Say Never'. In Bieber's concert footage, he uses the words,"Welcome to My World." Five days later, Morrissey walked out onto the stage at the London Palladium and said... "Welcome to My World."


AUG 8TH 2011 - "WELCOME TO MY WORLD"
(SEE THE FOOTAGE HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOcgB32diNI)


Now, to most people, that would just be a coincidence, and in fact, if you'd never read, or even heard of the MorrisseysWorld blog, then Morrissey's words that night in London two years ago, wouldn't have meant anything at all. To the half dozen or so people who had discovered the MorrisseysWorld blog at that time, this action by Morrissey was absolute PROOF to them that Morrissey was behind MW, but as much as they tried to get people to listen, NOBODY would. Morrissey's fans simply put it down to 'coincidence', or used the line, "I KNOW Morrissey just wouldn't do that."

On September 6th 2011, a twitter account by the name of '@MorrisseysWorld' started up, but of course NOBODY believed that it was really Morrissey, after all, EVERYBODY 'KNOWS' that Morrissey doesn't use the internet, and would NEVER use twitter! Because nobody believed it to be Moz, and seeing as it had no followers, it was some what of a surprise  that Morrissey's official website, True-To-You, saw fit to issue a statement on September 14th 2011 denying that MorrisseysWorld was Morrissey's twitter account! Despite all the imitators on twitter, Morrissey had never previously issued such a denial, and hasn't done such a thing since! 'Welcome to My World' indeed - INSTANT PUBLICITY!

The, "Morrissey just wouldn't do that" line has been a constant objection throughout the whole journey of MorrisseysWorld. Even some who thought in the beginning (and indeed at later stages) that it MIGHT be Moz, ignored ALL the evidence, and comforted themselves with the, "He just wouldn't" line instead. Perhaps they found it just TOO incredulous that the God, Morrissey, could possibly do such a thing, but why ANYBODY should think they KNOW Morrissey well enough to KNOW what he would or wouldn't do is laughable.

The London Palladium statement, and the publicity for the twitter account, were of course just the start of many, many coincidences, and yet every time another 'coincidence' would arrive, to add further evidence that Moz was behind MorrisseysWorld, the doubters found a reason why it COULDN'T be him, although the reason pretty much ALWAYS amounted to the old, "I know he just wouldn't", which wasn't much of an argument.

The point when I thought surely NOBODY could carry on denying that Morrissey was behind the MW blog, was on November 29th 2011, when Moz appeared on the Conan tv show. On November 7th, the MW blog had issued a collage of famous people making '0' signs with their fingers. At the end of Morrissey's performance on Conan, he made the following sign:


MORRISSEY REPLICATING THE MW BLOG ON CONAN IN NOVEMBER 2011

This act HAD to prove it, and yet STILL, the fans wouldn't believe! I guess that by this stage, the doubters had denied, denied, denied for so long, that they just couldn't admit that they had been wrong, so they chose to either ignore what was happening, and continue to take the more palatable stance of saying, "Morrissey just wouldn't."

 From this moment on, Our Mozzer and the 'Deluded Dozen' were on their own. The '0' signs became a regular feature at concerts, but despite these signs, and all the other predictions made on the MW blog and twitter account that came true, the masses continued to ignore.

On April 10th 2012, the MW blog promised that Morrissey would appear with a BLUE ROSE before the year was out, and of course he did, taking Kyle's rose at Radio City on October 10th and wearing it on his hip (See video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPqwwA0ZQiQ)


MORRISSEY AT RADIO CITY WITH THE BLUE ROSE


Once again, the unbelievers put it down to coincidence that Morrissey would take a Blue Rose, this despite the fact that he has refused ALL flowers on stage in two years, except ROSES!

The list of 'coincidences' linking Morrissey to MorrisseysWorld is now as long as your arm. If anybody could be bothered to read my blog from the start, you could probably find at least fifty. (By the way, my blog has received it's 250,000th hit this week - that's a quarter of a million to you!)

In two weeks time, the Morrissey 25:Live film will hit cinema screens throughout the world, and Morrissey fans will see ('00') Morrissey take a BLUE ROSE from the audience. There may even be a '0' sign in there somewhere, but to most fans watching the film, these things will mean NOTHING! The vast majority of Morrissey fans throughout the world will never have even heard of the MorrisseysWorld blog... they all missed it. There may however be one or two people who DID find the blog, and dismissed it as fake, who might, just might, see Moz take the rose in the film and think, hmm......

........But of course, once they've thought about it, they will come to their senses and remind themselves that they "KNOW Morrissey would never do that."

(For those of you who missed Scene 1... Boz has just arrived at Morrissey's house and been told by Morrissey's mum that Moz is upstairs in his bedroom!)

BOZ: (Knocks the bedroom door. The song Alma Matters can be heard playing. There is no answer at the bedroom door. Boz knocks again. No answer. Boz knocks yet again. There is still no answer, and Alma Matters continues playing.)

(Morrissey is laying on his bedroom floor next to the record player. Having heard the first two knocks at the door and ignoring them, after the third knock, Morrissey quietly recites a little rhyme to himself.)

MOZ: One, two, three, four, who's that knocking at my door? Five, six, seven, eight, it must be Boz, the fat cunt's late, nine, ten (shouting) COME IN!

(Boz opens the door and enters. The room is full of books, records and many other things just scattered around, as though they have all recently been taken out to look at. Morrissey is laying on the floor next to an old Dansette record player that is still playing the 7 inch version of Alma Matters. Morrissey is just staring up at the ceiling.)

BOZ SURVEYS MORRISSEY'S BEDROOM


Scene from An Education (2009)
MORRISSEY LAYING ON THE BEDROOM FLOOR, AS THOUGH IT WERE 1969

BOZ: You all right Moz?

MOZ: Right? Right? What sort of question is that to ask me Boz? When have I ever been right? (Morrissey stops gazing at the ceiling and slowly gets up, as if he is coming back from his daydream into the real world) Anyway, you're late, you should have been here days ago.

BOZ (looking bewildered): Late? You haven't even asked me to come and see you! I only came up because I was concerned.

MOZ: Concerned? I've been back in this good forsaken country for over two weeks Boz, so you can't have been THAT concerned. You KNEW how distraught I was about the whole South American debacle, and yet did you rush to my side in my hour of need, oh no, you've been too busy making rap records with your Happy Mondays friend.

BOZ: It's Happy...

MOZ: (Interrupting) I could have been hanging from the light flex for the past two weeks and nobody would have either noticed or cared.

BOZ: (Blinking hard) Sorry Moz, I didn't think...

MOZ: (Interrupting) And that's the problem Boz, you don't think. None of you think, you all just get on with your own petty little lives, ignoring the needs of the centre point of your existence, ie, ME! Have you ANY idea how you would spend the rest of your life if I were to die? (Boz looks at the floor) Then let me tell you. You would spend your days answering interview after interview about ME! Once it finally dawned on the outside world what a genius I was, they'd all want to talk to you, 'Boz Boorer, the man closest to the legend'. They won't want to know about the Pole Cats or Happy Harry, they'll want to know all about me, Boz, and what I was really like. (There is a long silence) Anyway, luckily for you, your willful neglect of me is all part of my master plan. It's all in my diaries you know, and one day it will all come out.

BOZ: (Blinking) What do you mean Moz?

MOZ: Well, old son, you don't think all these concert cancellations and the failure of my latest record to chart are all down to bad luck do you? The whole thing is mapped out Boz, the whole thing. It always has been.

BOZ: I don't understand.

MOZ: Of course you don't Boz, of course you don't. Nobody ever could, but we're in the wrecking stage.

BOZ: (Blinking) I, I... what are you on about Moz?

MOZ: Have you read this? (Moz passes Boz a copy of The Guardian from July 2013. Boz blinks hard and squints.) Christ, Boz, your eye sight is getting worse. Where are your glasses?

BOZ: They make me look like Olive from 'On the Buses'.

MOZ: Well, the way you're squinting makes you look like Fred Scuttle.

BOZ: Who?

MOZ: Benny Hill character.

BOZ: The little one?

MOZ: No, you're thinking of Jackie Wright. He wasn't a character Boz, he was a real person.

BOZ: Wasn't Jackie Wright the tall one?

MOZ: No, that was Bob Todd.

BOZ: Is that the one you meant?

MOZ: No Boz, he's a real person too. I meant Fred Scuttle, which is why I said Fred Scuttle. Now put your glasses on and read the article.

BOZ: (Puts on his glasses and looks at the paper.) I've already read this. Well, actually Lyn read it to me. They're really going for you this time Moz.


BOZ BOORER IN HIS GLASSES


MOZ: Read it again Boz. Out loud.

BOZ: (Reading from the paper) "Morrissey: has his light finally gone out?" (Morrissey raises his eyes to the heavens and tuts.)

BOZ: (Reading) "Illness, financial challenges, the lack of a record deal and no new songs for four years - maybe it's time that the singer rekindled some old friendships. Is this the end for Morrissey? After a troubled year in which..."

MOZ: (Interrupting) That'll do Boz. It's perfect.

BOZ: I still don't get it.

MOZ: Maybe it's time I let you in on the whole plan, old son.

The History of Morrissey's Blue Rose Society

On August 24th 2013, Morrissey's new film 'Morrissey 25 Live' will hit the cinemas, and the world will see Morrissey take a BLUE ROSE from the audience, but do YOU know the significance of the BLUE ROSE? Here is ALL you need to know:

On May 14 2011, Morrissey placed the following statement official statement on the website True-To-You.net:


Morrisseysworld.blogspot


14 May 2011
Morrissey would like it known that the site known as Morrisseysworld.blogspot is fake. Morrissey has no connection with the site and is therefore not the author of anything written on the site.

The strangest thing about this statement was that NOBODY had ever heard of the MorrisseysWorld blog, so the statement actually brought attention to it. Morrissey NEVER issues statements to deny authorship of such things, so a number of people had their collective interests aroused by this extraordinary denial, and started to keep an eye on the MorriseysWorld blog.

Over the following three months, despite many reservations amongst fans that Morrissey would do such a thing, it became blatantly obvious that Morrissey himself was behind the MorrisseysWorld blog. (Evidence can be read here: http://followingthemozziah.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/history-of-morrisseysworld.html and further evidence here: http://www.morrisseysworldismoz.blogspot.co.uk/)

On August 22nd 2011, Morrissey asked his fans, via the MorrisseysWorld blog, to take either a single RED ROSE or a single WHITE ROSE to his concerts. Morrissey explained that he wanted roses, in honour of his literary hero, Oscar Wilde, who had a theme of roses running through his work.



On October 9th 2011, the following statement was issued on Morrissey's MorrisseysWorld blog:

"When the blood runs, the white rose becomes a red rose. When the truth settles down, nothing will remain." At the time, nobody had any idea what this meant, but it would later become apparent (Keep reading!)

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 took a RED ROSE from an audience member at the concert in Pomona. The significance of this was HUGE, as it was the first flower of ANY sort that Morrissey had accepted on stage in years and years, and it was further proof that MorrisseysWorld REALLY WAS Morrissey's blogsite.

MORRISSEY WITH THE RED ROSE OF POMONA - NOV 2011

Morrissey's tour of North America ended in December, and a tour of South America started at the end of February 2012. By now, Morrissey had formed the 'Blue Rose Society' on his blogsite, and asked fans to also bring BLUE roses to his concerts.


On March 17th 2012, Morrissey accepted a WHITE ROSE on stage in Bogota, Colombia during the song, 'You Have Killed Me'. The rose wasn't thrust at Morrissey, he 'sought it out', but what was REALLY bizarre, was that the rose appeared to be RED due to the lighting, which fulfilled the prediction made on the MW blog that, "When the blood runs (ie You Have Killed Me), the white rose becomes a red rose."

"THE WHITE ROSE BECOMES A RED ROSE" UNDER THE RED LIGHTING


The video showing Morrissey take the WHITE ROSE in Bogota can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVaezmLcyi4). 

By this stage, more and more fans started to take roses to Morrissey concerts, but both the MorrisseysWorld blog and the Blue Rose Society, STILL remained relatively unknown to the vast majority of Morrissey fans, and the many of those who HAD heard of MorrisseysWorld, refused to accept that it could possibly be the work of Morrissey, despite OVERWHELMING evidence to the contrary.

On April 10th 2012, Morrissey wrote on the MW blogsite, that he would wear a BLUE ROSE before the end of 2012.




On the morning of July 5th 2012, Morrissey's wikipedia entry was updated, to make reference to both the 'BLUE ROSE SOCIETY' and Oscar Wilde's '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 started the European leg of his tour in Liege Belgium, and walked on stage wearing a GREEN CARNATION. The next day, the wikipedia entry mysteriously disappeared.

Morrissey continued to accept roses at his concerts in Europe, whilst refusing ALL other flowers, and he even chose to wear a gaudy BLUE ROSE tie when he was presented with the 'Key to the City' of Tel Aviv. See video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTxMAsKs1jg

A BLUE ROSE IN MANCHESTER - JULY 2012


On October 5th 2012, Morrissey started another tour of North America, and on October 10th, at his concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York, Morrissey fulfilled his promise of April 10th, by accepting a BLUE ROSE from a young fan, and WEARING it in his pocket.

As Morrissey's Blue Rose Society grew, even his tour manager, Donnie Knutson was photographed with a Blue Rose outside the studios of 'The Late Show' in New York.

DONNIE'S BLUE ROSE - JANUARY 2013

At the Morrissey concerts in North America in January and February 2013, more and more roses were taken.


A BLUE ROSE IN BROOKLYN - JANUARY 2013


On February 27th 2013, Morrissey accepted a bunch of Blue Roses at his concert in San Diego, and on March 1st, at his Staples Center concert in LA, Morrissey was presented with a 'Blue Rose Society Ring', which he gladly accepted.

On March 2nd 2013, Morrissey's concert at Hollywood High School was filmed for a special cinema and DVD release called 'Morrissey 25 Live'. Not only did Morrissey start the concert in a shirt covered in blue flowers, but during the very first song of the concert (Alma Matters), with the world watching, he leaned deep into the audience to collect a BLUE ROSE, which he then wore in his pocket - See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToWcitbV5bg.

Day 719 (I think!) - Back to Reality

It has been 5 weeks since the MorrisseysWorld blog closed down, and TRM (The Real Morrissey) has not been seen or heard from in ages. The next part of my hilariously funny parody story, 'To Wreck, My Own Way' would have spelled out WHY I believe Morrissey has gone to ground, but as only six people bothered leaving any sort of praise for my hard graft on 'Act 1 Scene 2', I have decided NOT to bother publishing it... and anyway, I think I have a severe case of rhinitis coming on!

The Morrissey 25 LIVE film has now found it's way onto the silver screen, and the reviews have been really positive from the fans, and shit from those who don't like Morrissey! NOBODY seems to have picked up on the BLUE ROSE, which I suppose was A) Inevitable and B) Rather Pleasing. There is NO C).

With NO Moz and NO MorrisseysWorld, there really is no point in me sitting around waiting. I closed my twitter account a couple of weeks ago and the reality is that I will NEVER become a playwright or writer because I am far too lazy, so therefore, on Wednesday, I am going back to work.

It has been a blast.

Goodnight

Day 730 - Penguin Have Cold Feet!

I have decided to poke my head out from my self imposed exile because of the following statement that has been issued on True-To-You.net:





Statement

12 September 2013
Autobiography Artwork
Although Morrissey's Autobiography was set to be available throughout the UK on September 16th, a last-minute content disagreement between Penguin Books and Morrissey has caused the venture to collapse. No review copies were printed, and Morrissey is now in search of a new publisher.


The most common reaction from Morrissey's fans on social media sites and on various websites has been, "We didn't even know that there WAS a book." It's MorrisseysWorld all over again! At a time when nobody had ever heard of MorrisseysWorld, Morrissey publicised it on True-To-You with this statement:



Morrisseysworld.blogspot

14 May 2011
Morrissey would like it known that the site known as Morrisseysworld.blogspot is fake. Morrissey has no connection with the site and is therefore not the author of anything written on the site.

He then further publicised MorrisseysWorld three months later with the following 'message' on TTY:



Message

19 August 2011
MESSAGE
Morrissey has no connection with the site called Morrisseysworld.blogspot. Whoever is on this site/page claiming to be Morrissey is certainly NOT Morrissey. Please be warned. Thank you.
Ten US dates for Morrissey will be announced this coming Monday. All dates will take place in November. Morrissey is now represented in the US by William Morris Agency.

I have a hunch that Morrissey's autobiography, which is brilliantly entitled, 'Autobiography', will STILL be released by Penguin. I may be wrong, and the word, "collapse" does seem quite final, but I just have a hunch, and what is more, the book cover just looks SO perfect!

 If the Penguin deal IS off, then we should be in for an exciting time as publishers fight it out to get their hands on the autobiography of the century, and rumours will no doubt start to emerge as to who might have signed him. Irvine Welsh has probably got it right with his observation:


6h
Morrissey is a marketing genius. People are going to be talking about the biog that never was for years, and what was in it.




Could it be that the next TTY statement could mirror the TTY 'message' above, and go along the lines of, "Morrissey has no connection with any publishing house for his autobiography. Please be warned. Thank you. Ten UK dates for Morrissey will be announced this coming Monday"? Or perhaps, "Morrissey has found a publisher who is prepared to print his autobiography IN FULL." Now THAT would get the excitement going!

Oh the theatre of it all! And if this new statement ISN'T just a publicity stunt, then WHAT exactly WAS the, "content" that gave Penguin cold feet?

Back to exile.
