Morrissey Drama 2009

[Bluebirds]

Does not Morrissey turning 50 and playing the Manchester Apollo, with all its relevance to his history, on the day of his 50th birthday, merit half a mention?

 

[Zelda Zonk]

All of the above?

Swindon was unquestionably THE drama of the year, but I voted for Liverpool, just because I was there. Hiya Zelda!

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Hi there Mozmal! Yes I was going to opt for Liverpool too, although Cambridge was also pretty tense...but I think the tour as a whole has been one huge dramatic Morrissey musical.

Close call between his collapse and the cup on head incident...

despite a freezing cold, hungover 9 hour wait and enduring doll and the bleedin kicks again @ Liverpool...the collapse nudges it. It was just horrible not knowing what was going on

 

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

The most dramatic moments imo were Swindon, Liverpool and the Hamburg heckler, but I voted for the collapse. It was just so horrible and scary, I was worried half to death for the next few days .

 

[Corrissey]

No Contest - Swindon.

One of those *I remember where I was* moments. No matter how much we may not like him at times, we never want to lose him.

Perfectly put.

 

[viva pffft.]

Swindon, definitely.

He's had shit thrown at him before, it's nothing new. But I guess the big deal was him leaving? I don't know much concerning Morrissey's past tours.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

I do not consider what happened in Swindon "drama"(as I chose to imply that word means when here)
I took what happened in Swindon very seriously, my heart was in my throat til I was certain Moz was fine

 

[Barking]

I voted for the Southpaw/ Maladjusted reissues. That was unnecessary drama all right.

...As for the rest... It wasn't dramatic at all to me.

I only pay attention to romantic drama anyway, like, are Snooty and Moody going to tie the knot or, not?
The rest is just bad scenes, comin' and goin'. I barely raised an eyebrow...

 

[celibate]

mhh, am I the only one whose worried he's again without a recorddeal/label?

oh no 1 other person too, thanks.

A week ago, RedRadio compiled their own list of Morrissey-associated events of the year, at http://theredradio.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/12/2009-the-year-in-morrrissey-.html

It starts:
"2009, The Year In Morrissey
2009 was a wacky year for Moz, full of ups and downs, without a dull moment to spare. Despite a bottle to the head, a rush to the hospital, and a slew of canceled shows, Mozzer soldiered on through the release of his ninth studio album, a b-sides collection, and hitting the big 5-0. A recap, shall we?..."

 

[Raphael Lambach]

Collapse. Definitely. Not because it just happened either but because it was scary.

Have you stolen my words? Great words.

 

[Kewpie]

Thank you very much for voting.

Hopefully 2010 will be peaceful and rewarding year for both Morrissey and us.
