On Friday I wrote that I wouldn't return unless one of the following happened:
A) Moz accepts a blue rose
B) Our Mozzer returns to Twitter
C) Morrissey wears a t-shirt of a manufactured pop act
D) Something else happens that is particularly relevant to our story
Those paying close attention would have seen that there was NO E.
The fact that I have returned means that one of the above HAS taken place. In fact, two and a half of the above four have taken place! The half is A. There were no blue roses on view at Sunday's concert in Asunción, Paraguay - which it should be noted looked to be a fantastic concert, with a very enthusiastic crowd, and Moz and the band once again in top form - but there WERE white roses.
Initially I didn't notice the white roses, but yesterday True-To-You posted a video from Asunción of Everyday is Like Sunday. NO explanation as to why the video was posted was given. I had already watched the first half of the song; which includes the long piano intro, but I had been interrupted while watching it, so hadn't watched to the end. As TTY had posted it, I decided to watch, and there to my surprise, at the 3 minute 37 sec mark, a white rose was thrown to (or rather at) Moz, which he caught it, looked at it, and then tossed back. The reason the video had been posted on TTY was OBVIOUSLY to bring it to the attention of the BRS - it obviously would mean NOTHING to anyone else. Solow haven't even bothered mentioning that the video was posted on TTY, which is a first for them.
Jesse Tobias (@8stitches9lives) also tweeted an instagram clip of the roses (yes plural) being thrown.

With regards to B, Our Mozzer did make a return to Twitter, but more about that in a minute.
There has been no wearing of a manufactured pop act t-shirt (C), so I shall move onto D - 'Something else happens that is particularly relevant to our story'.
On Sunday, I stayed in a spit and sawdust Travelodge hotel in Cambridge, and when I awoke yesterday morning, I looked out of my window onto the beautiful view of the car park below, and saw a white window cleaners van with the company name ISIS written on the side. Later in the day, I tweeted a photo of it, and wrote, "This was the site that greeted me outside my hotel window this morning."

Just a couple of hours later, and SURELY as a taunt to me and my not so glamorous lodgings and outlook, Morrissey posted a video on TTY entitled, 'Outside of Morrissey's hotel in Asuncion, Paraguay, 7 December 2015'. The video showed a group of screaming girls and a rather nice view beyond. Pathetic!.... or maybe I am far too full of my own self importance, and it really is just a coincidence. Pathetic!

A THIRD TTY article was also posted yesterday, and that too may have a slight association with our story. The article was entitled, 'Holly Woodlawn, RIP', and was Morrissey's tribute to Warhol Superstar, actress Holly Woodlawn, who died yesterday. Morrissey wrote:
""Holly came from Miami FLA, hitch-hiked her way across the USA, plucked her eyebrows on the way, shaved her legs and then he was a she..." Walk on the wild side, Lou Reed. Life has kissed her eyelids closed."
The reason that I have mentioned a 'slight association', is because fellow Warhol Superstar, Joe Dallesandro, follows Morrissey on Twitter, and it was Joe who yesterday broke the news of Holly's death. I have no doubt that this is where Morrissey would have found out about it, as did I.

HOLLY WOODLAWN AND JOE DALLESANDRO
And so onto the return of Our Mozzer to Twitter.
Author of the blog and book 15 Minutes With You, Julie Hamill, got rather excited yesterday when a photo appeared of Morrissey wearing one of the badges that she and @TonyMerchison had given to Moz last year. Julie tweeted, "Best day ever". I questioned this, and asked Julie if it was an even better day than when she chatted to Moz on Twitter, to which she replied, "Okay, so what did I say and what did he say? And when do we run away together?" I reminded her that it was just small pleasantries from what I could remember, and told her that there was no mention of running, adding, "Morrissey would NEVER run!" Julie STILL doesn't believe that MorrisseysWorld is Moz, or that he is on Twitter. Julie has spent the past four years chatting to anyone and everyone who might once have passed the time of day with Morrissey, when she could have been spending the time chatting to the man himself. Oh well!
![Embedded image permalink]()
Nine hours after my conversation with Julie, Our Mozzer (@BRSChairman) turned up on Twitter (at 9.30pm Asunción time), and tweeted:
"Mumbling, bumbling, stumbling, and tumbling around. Never running. No not at this age."
I doubt for one (or 15) minute that this will convince Julie that it is Moz, but hey ho.
Right then, back I must go to reading about Jack the Ripper and planning my 38th birthday party. I no longer have the Shed 7 concert to look forward to, as it took place last night.... and it was incredible. I had forgotten just how good a band they are, and I love scrawny Rick Witter, the lead singer, and although I rarely get excited by guitarists, Paul Banks is quite a player.
