Day 968 - Santa Rose

6:00 am: As I write this, Morrissey is still on stage, but let it be known, he took a BLUE ROSE from ten year old Devan (who he also took one from at Hollywood High) during Yes, I am Blind, and IS WEARING IT:














I know NOTHING else at this stage, and I am hungry, so I shall go and have some breakfast, and will return later, but please start adding your comments and observations.

UPDATE 7:40 am: KABOOM! The first video is in..... and what is more, Trouble Loves Me has been played again.... AND, I have now seen yesterday's Trouble. WOW! WOW! WOW! MY FLABBER IS GASTED ! Back later.



UPDATE 8:25: I am struggling to take everything in. I am still savouring everything from yesterday's concert, let alone today's. Oh, WHERE to begin? I have added clips to yesterday's blog Setlist, but haven't even had the time to watch them all yet. Trouble Loves Me and I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday where DEFINITELY the highlights, but WHAT a concert! WHAT a day. These are SPECIAL times. When, oh when, will they believe us about BLUE ROSE? How many times does Moz have to wear the rose before the penny drops? Back later.



UPDATE 9:50: I am now at work, and I have a VERY busy morning, before heading off to watch a cricket match this afternoon, so today's blog entry will not be like yesterday's, but then again, NO blog entry will be like yesterday's. I am also supposed to be buying tickets to take my eldest son to see Eminem at Wembley on July 11th, but I am already losing patience with Ticketmaster. There must be a better system for buying tickets than sitting on an internet screen all morning, watching it whir! I have already been kicked out three times, and if it does it again, I shall give up, and take him to Alton Towers instead! Aghhh! Alton Towers it is!

Right then, as there isn't much information available yet about the Santa Ana concert, I shall quickly mention some events of yesterday. So much happened in such a short period of time, that none of us were able to savour the flavour. Perhaps Moz should only do one show a week, so that we can let it all softly sink in, rather than us having to ram it all home.

One of the stand out parts of yesterday was the contribution to my blog by B.M.V (who is he/she? Hmm) who posted a transcript of ALL of Morrissey's 'chit chat' in San Jose, and also corrected me on one or two things, including the lyrics to Earth is the loneliest Planet. The lyric is NOT "You play as a pawn" as I had written, but "you fail as a woman"! An easy mistake to make! If anybody missed B.M.V's contribution, then I would strongly suggest you go back to yesterday's entry and read it. Hopefully B.M.V will post again today with all the audio.

STOP PRESS: New MorrisseysWorld blog article. He wants our opinion on BLUE ROSE. Back later.


UPDATE 11:50 am: The new MorrisseysWorld blog entry, is entitled '100 word messages for Morrissey from BRS. Do you believe yet? What will you do when everyone believes? Should the entire MW archive be republished? When will the entire venue be awash with roses? Whom will he take one from next?' The article was posted at 1:39 am LA time (9:39 UK), and I posted my 100 word entry straight away, although I 'm sure that the last question about who will be next wasn't there when I wrote my bit!

I have written that I will "smile" when everybody believes, and "welcome them to our world". I have also written that "YES" the whole MW blog should be republished, the genius of MW deserves a MUCH larger audience than just the 'Dreary Deluded Dozen' it has attracted thus far. As to "when will the entire venue be awash with roses", I have written that if Morrissey keeps accepting and wearing them, then it will be sOOn, VERY sOOn....... but actually, WILL it? Are we attracting new members to the BLUE ROSE SOCIETY? Yes, I think we must be. There is very rarely a concert that doesn't now have roses, and hopefully those who persist in bringing their gladioli from the nineteen haties, will soon realise that it is ONLY roses that Morrissey accepts, and ONLY BLUE ROSES that he wears.

Our Blue Rose equivalent of Oscar Wilde's Green Carnation continues to grow at it's own pace, and I am sure that Morrissey will continue to endorse it by accepting roses and wearing them. As to whether people believe Moz is behind the BRS or not is irrelevant. What is important, is that Morrissey fully backs the idea of BLUE ROSE, and the sooner everybody realises that, the sooner each concert venue will be awash with roses..... just as Mam asked for, back in that original 'Bans Committee' parody article of 2011! As to who will be next to get a BLUE ROSE to Moz, we will just have to wait and see. Perhaps it will be Tom Jones on Saturday! Now that would get everybody talking.

The latest MW article signs off with Our Mozzer stating that "When this item has 1000 comments, the next article will be published." The article has now been live for 2 hours, and as well as my 100 word response, there is one from JohnGill (aka Loughton Lil), and THAT IS IT! We may be waiting some time for the next article!

I am desperate to find some time to watch/listen to Mrs Shufflewick, and I hope I don't forget about her, she looks hilarious. I could imagine Boz dressing as her. Is it my imagination, or does Mrs S have BLUE ROSES on that dress of hers?:






It was also pointed out yesterday that the new backdrop picture of Bruce Lee has him doing a 'V' sign, which is one of the signs of MW. Are Bruce and Mrs S further little BRS signs? It is also interesting to note that WORLD PEACE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS was yesterday referred to by Broken as Morrissey's "anti-NWO protest song." Yet ANOTHER link to the MorrisseysWorld blog, which made LOTS of references to the NWO (New World Order), and acted as PROOF to the likes of Rosy Mires that MW COULDN'T be the work of Morrissey, because "Morrissey just wouldn't do that". How Rosy Mires, Still.I.Cling et al must be kicking themselves now. What would be really great, would be if they came back to the BRS, and just swallowed their pride, admitting they made a MASSIVE mistake in presuming what Morrissey would or wouldn't do, but I doubt they will, they will probably cling closer to the Solow mods and the sinking Solow ship. Such is human behaviour. No doubt the Solow lot will start slagging off the new songs, they probably have already started, but for the VERY first time during a Moz tour, I have not even been tempted to look. Nobody needs them.

Look at the time. I have to go. Hopefully Youtube clips will appear throughout the day. If anybody finds one, please post the link. I am just stepping out, and I may be some time.

UPDATE: VULGAR ANGIE'S DAY IN SANTA ANA

Yesterday was amazing

So I started my day at the Los Angeles Flower District for the hunt of Blue Roses
Yes they were found
Then it was off to Santa Ana
I left the roses in the trunk of my car because I did not want the roses to get ruin

11:30 am
The first person I saw in line was Devon and his dad Jimi
I approach them to say hello we chatted for a bit before I went to chat with Clover Dean
Being the social butterfly I am
I walked the line looking for tickets but no one had any

11:45
I went to the box office and asked if they had a guest list for Morrissey
I told the woman working it that it's a possibility that I might be on it
She replied with how would you know if you were on it for sure
I told her it was word-of-mouth and a possibility
She looked at me like I was crazy and I felt very stupid and embarrassed for even asking
She said if I was even on the guest list it would be out by 730
That would've been way too late for me to make my way to the rail
So I decided just to try my luck and find someone selling a ticket

I was so desperate to try to get into the show I even message Boz to see if I can get on the guest list plus one
But he said he couldn't do it
I think it was it was kind of cool that he replied to me

Checking stub hub craigslist and other ticket sites for tickets everything that I found was $250-$500 for one ticket
So I decided to work the line to see if I was lucky to get tickets

I decide to get a blue rose out of the trunk
To catch anyone's attention

I walk over to Devon and he takes the rose from me and I told him you know your mission get him (Morrissey) this Rose no matter what
Just like Hollywood high school he said he would
I notice something very familiar
I saw a young lad holding a single Blue Rose
I approached him and asked him are you a member of the society

He said no that he was tagged in a post on Twitter that said bring Morrissey a blue Rose
I told him that's very smart the power of the blue roses very strong
That Morrissey might have acknowledged him look at him or possibly even took it from him
He asked me how do you know and I told him I'm the vice president of that society and it's it's known to happen because it's happened to me
He got very very excited when I told him that
I'm not sure what his name was or what his Twitter account name is but he was a sweet young lad

Rumor started going around about Morrissey canceling due to what happened in San Jose and due to the venue booking another band to play in the small room

I saw one of Morissey's security guards that I know and asked him what really happened in San Jose
He said Morrissey was not assaulted nor attack

It was just too many people Rushing the stage at once
(think Live in Dallas 91)
And a few fans not knowing how to approach him

As for the other rumor he said rumors are rumors and will always be said but the show will go on

Some women approached me asking me if I still needed a ticket and told them yes they said her friend is selling one and is on her way from Chicago

JJazz's boyfriend Johnny tagged me in a post of the woman from Chicago who was selling a ticket on Facebook

When I realize the woman from Chicago was a woman that I met in Las Vegas at a Morrissey show

I knew it was faith

When she arrived she's said I have your ticket for you and I gave her a tight bear hug and she said don't cry
I told her you don't understand I really do want to cry















I ran into Andrea gave her a rose and spoke with her

Clover Dean had Kevin cunnings next to her in line and I approach them I didn't want to put myself out there for him but he looked at my tattoos and he complimented me on my shirt I was wearing
He told me that's my picture Your wearing on your shirt and I told him yes I know it laugh

Showtime Christeen Young did an amazing job last night
But she looked very irritated and upset with no I contact at the crowd
I Was trying to get her attention with a white rose

I wrote her once telling her if I see her I was going to give her one

She Didn't look my way but I ended up tossing it on stage with her set ended

I found to be quite unusual was that she had to take down her instruments by herself
not the roadies like at previous shows
But herself and her bandmates
After she was done taking her keyboard down she noticed the Rose
Picked it up and said thank you
I was trying to get her attention so she could noticed that it was I that gave it to her
But she ended up tossing it back to the crowd
To be completely honest I was a little bummed out that she threw it back instead of keeping it

School is about to begin

And to answer your question rat yes the set list is confirmed

Throwing up O and waving my roses in the air Morissey finds him self going to stage left
Teasing me like he's going to take my roses

During Yes I am Blind I notice Morrissey reaches
Out to Devon and takes the blue rose from him
And puts it in his chest pocket

So Morrissy continues to play the teasing of taking the roses from me
The people around me notice this
This one guy said that I'm a bad omen because he wants to touch Morrissey and Morrissey keeps eyeballing the roses

Trouble loves me begins to play and I was hoping that he would take the roses from me when that song is playing
All I got was more teasing













Song after song waiting and waiting hoping he would take them from me
And got Nothing

Morrissey leaves the stage usually is pretty much as a sign that the last song is about to happen

Band returns asleep starts up after asleep one day goodbye will be Farewell

I start getting anxious that he's not going to take my roses

The crowd is going crazy rushing the stage
Security is tight due to the night before
No one made it on stage but 1

The son of Moz Angeles Devon
Morrissey and Devon walked towards my way both looking at me
Engaging Eye contact with both of them
Made me extremely happy and crying
When Morrissey walked Devon back to his side of the stage
Devon's dad Jimmy tossed a marker on the stage
Devon noticed it picks it up
Morrissey started to sing again Devon asked him to sign his shirt
Morrissey stops singing kneels down and signs Devon's shirt
Everyone is going crazy
I tossed my roses on the stage and tried to jump over the rail but it was too late
Morrissey and my roses disappeared

After they both disappeared i ran to look for Devon and Jimi
When I found them
Devon was taking pictures with random people
I grabbed him and I told him you made me cry twice and you've made me very proud and happy I am very grateful that I've met you you always do what you're told and I love that about you
You are the son of Moz Angeles
I asked his dad Jimmy did you tell him to go onstage and he replied with no he said he wanted to go up there with him

It was truly an amazing night

But my question and what I really want to know is where did the roses disappeared to

Did Morrissey pick him up when he was going off stage

Those of you that are attending the shows throughout the US take the blue Rose you won't regret it.
