Don't be sad and save your tears for later this month when the aristocrats with a sash on their shirt, River Plate, lifts the trophy after they got a great 2-2 draw away to the working class peasants from Bolivia in Boca Juniors.

LOL

Can't care less. I think.
 
opening with William? I would have wet myself had I been there.

And Hairdresser and Dial a Cliche !!!

Too bad he's not performing them with a better band (aside from M. Walker). Imagine how much better they'd sound with qualified musicians and not low-end of the scale "professionals" (especially hack guitarist Jesse Tobias).

NOW see here ,"another murder at the wool hall"... Comparisons are rarely fair, but favoritism causing strife isn't kool. Was at S.D. show on Sat. nite at Copely and the entire band was great ! The music ...The lights..the crowd...even the older lady security folks...hi Dorothy at the end of the bar line.....all spot on fantastic....it could've gone on forever.....Yes you too Morrissey.

"Official Statement from Carlos Rodriguez.

Hello Moz Fam! I felt the need to write out an official statement about events that occured at the Morrissey concert at the Copley Symphony Hall in San Diego this past Saturday. Especially since there are still media outlets reporting inaccurate details on what took place. My name is Carlos Rodriguez and I was the man in question who made it on stage and past security to hug our beloved Morrissey. First and foremost I would like to apologize to the man Himself El Jefe, Mr. Morrissey for unintentionally being a part of the reason the show was stopped and more so that the media made false claims as to what transpired. I admit that on video it does look aggressive but honestly at that moment I literally was beside myself. Like an out of body experience. It was a rush of energy that I have never felt before. Granted I am a 40 year old man and was able to move that quickly still is crazy to me. Lol. As I was able to hug the Master he was smiling and laughing. Especially after seeing me headlocked and escorted back to the pit. Thank you for confirming that you were not hit, injured, or attacked. As a loyal fan for the past 20+ years that would be the last thing I would ever want to do or any fan for that matter.

Secondly I would like to apologize to all the fans who were at the show at the Copley Center. It was not my intention nor any of the "stage invaders" to have the show stopped. I have been receiving both support and negative feedback to say the least. More the latter. Lol. And I get it. I understand. Moz was having a great show. His vocals were amazing and the setlist was on point! It was a magical night for everyone. So it to end the way it did I apologize. I do accept partial responsibility but right now it seems Im the posterboy for the show cancellation. So be it. Like all Moz concerts fans reach out and hope to have the opportunity to touch the mans hand, have a record signed, or for some even getting their armed signed, which I tried. Lol. But for the past 30 + years there are those fans that take a chance to get closer, to go in for a hug to show deep appreciation to the man whose songs have saved our lives. Most shows those who make it get their 5 sec hug and escorted back to their spot and the show goes on as is at the Tropicalia fest recently. But unfortunately this event ended differently. My actions as well as those of others with me have tarnished what would have been a perfect evening. Yes it was the encore but I know every fan wants to enjoy all we can. So for that I am deeply sorry.

Lastly for the negative press this has brought upon Moz. Media is always trying to create news or spin stories in order to gain views and likes. Even after refuting stories of being attacked or hurt some media outlets are continuing to report falsely and create nonsense to further their agenda. And no I was not paid to rush the stage so He could stop the show or cancel current tour dates as some idiots reported. And to security I am sorry we put you in that predicament. You were clearly outnumbered and you did the best you could given the circumstances. You did what you had to do to protect our beloved Moz. Again, I hope this clears up all the rumors and such and gives me an opportunity to apologize to all parties involved and help others on the outside to have a glimpse into the World of Morrissey.

VIVA MOZ!!

Carlos Rodriguez"

I don't think there was any need for this statement. Seems the 5 seconds of 'fame' has gone to his head.

To be fair, I'm not sure about "need" but perhaps it's useful for those seeking additional clarification..? It reads more like a romantic elaboration, slightly indulged -- that's fine. I was at the show and I hardly feel that this particular less than gracious rush and push and the show is done to be a well one could even attempt to draw upon for ego inflation. Ha.

Fair enough. I found his address to security a little condescending. One thing I've learned, you don't patronise bouncers. Just keep your mouth shut and do a runner! I had the romantic notion that he was some witless geek, there on his own and overcome with passion. But it seems more orchestrated than that? I must admit I've not seen the footage though, I'm just going by the things I read.
 
Anyone catch where Jesse Hughes from eagles of death metal got hit by a car and the next day, was on his way to see Morrissey at this show and then had to be rushed to the hospital? Not a tidbit worthy of its own thread but interesting that he is a Morrissey fan (and of course, he is now okay).
