And last but opposite of least, I'd like to thank Morrissey, especially for helping in a very important way to raise our awareness against political apathy and media garble to elect President Barak Obama (who, with our elected Congress in 2010, has fought tirelessly to pass historic and much-needed health care, economic and housing reform, averting a complete Depression, invested in historic numbers in education and clean energy, and oversaw the repeal of the discriminatory Don't Ask Don't Tell military policy in the U.S.). There is still work to be done, partly to undo, but the fact that so many found a new commitment to vote their voice with the ballot and pay attention to our policymakers and not blindly accept what mainstream media feeds us is truly appreciated and cannot be lost. That Morrissey made so many of us care, some of whom hadn't before, speaks volumes. If nothing else, he's taught us that cynicism is healthy, especially if applied the right way.
In Thanks to everyone, I want to share "This Charming Man" (second night at the Roundhouse in Camden, London from 2008):

It'll be obvious why I don't usually video at Moz concerts, but I hope you enjoy the memory nonetheless. I recall that show as being flawless and one of the best I'd seen.
I hope listeners will choose to continue this thread for the show, reminding each other to tune in, as it was when we started...
This will be my last reminder... at least for a while...
A friendly reminder to everyone for Breakfast w/The Smiths-World of Morrissey this Sunday, 9-11am PST/5-7pm GMT.
