Upon further review, this story sounds suspicious. The Flint date (along with many others) was cancelled on the 22nd of October, four days before it was scheduled to occur. Between the announcement & the Flint date were the cancelled shows in Pittsburgh (the 23rd) and Columbus (the 24th). So did Morrissey drive past the Flint venue almost a week before the show, see his name spelled incorrectly, and cancel multiple shows?
Even though this story fits with the view of Morrissey being a petulant, spoiled prima donna, it does not ring true.

Exactly. Adam Carolla used to work with Jimmy Kimmel at KROQ, did he say this before or after the whole duck dynasty fiasco? They're probably pals and he was padding the drama queen thing. I could be wrong.
