Ok this is how it went.
Me: No need to be nervous. It's only me.
Moz: (laughs) Okay.
Me: Hi Morrissey, I'm Adam.
We shake hands.
Moz: (smiles) Hello Adam.
He starts writing my name in my book. I just start babbling...
Me: I think Istanbul is one of the most beautiful songs you've written in....(I was stumped for words here so there was a very long pause)
Moz: (smiles) In a year?
Me: No, no, no, in like many, many years. I just love it so much. It's just so beautiful.
Moz: Well I think so too.
Me: I can listen to it over and over again. I have it on loop constantly.
I dunno he may have replied to that but I was too happy to notice.
Me: Anyway thank you for coming to Australia again, thank you for playing these shows at the Opera House. I'm going twice.
Then i said...
Me: Can I give you a birthday hug Morrissey?
The bald dude said we're not doing hugs. But Morrissey bless him was already standing with arms open wide and I just jumped in for a hug that almost has me in tears now just typing it out for this message.
Me: (while hugging) Thank you Morrissey.
Mo: (while hugging) Thank you Adam.
Or he may have said "That's okay Adam", not 100% certain. Morrissey was nothing but charm, warmth and genuine. I watched most of the signings and meetings afterwards and at no point was he tired of meeting the fans.
The longest video has a decent bit of Moz but the other 2 were shut down by security.

I'll post videos a bit later.
