On what concern me I don’t agree. I was very happy to go to see Morrissey but I wouldn’t say that I was obsessed. I have been listening to him since the Smiths era, but in a rational way.

I would not compare my post gig excitement to Hitler followers. I won’t become vegan and won’t agree with every word he says. I would say that my experience is more a Stendhal syndrome post exposure to an incredible piece of art. He was magnificent in this tour, absolutely incredible.

You're a rare fan then and perhaps the only good example and you should be proud of yourself.

I'd say most Morrissey fans fall under the spectrum of normal - it's only the fawning 'front row' crowd and perhaps a fair proportion of this site's very followers that differ.

( ... but next gig I might not dislike to attemp a stage invasion, just a little shy and polite one )

 

[Famous when dead]

Feeling flat after any event with a big build up and anticipation is completely normal. When it stops you from daily function - that's a much different issue and probably indicates more long-term underlying issues.
The interpretation of fan's behaviour is almost always more indicative of your own narratives & agendas than the fans concerned.
I've behaved pretty consistently in my Morrissey appreciation in almost 36 years (if anything: probably mellowing).
Besides the troll-minded types that thrive on reaction, the fanaticism you see here is no different whatsoever to the Star Wars/computer game/cabbage patch/beanie baby/stamp/car/antique collector communities et al etc.... You get the idea.
So, there is nothing really extraordinary in the level of scrutiny Morrissey gets here compared to practically any other topic does on the Internet. The main difference here is the reaction to said that people emote to the point of distraction and hyperbole daily.
If I could wish anything for this place besides consistent removal of posts that clog information threads - it would be one simple thing: to give every single argument-hungry person the ability to understand that subjective arguments have no right or wrong despite all that their brain might tell them and that not saying anything, humility and positive communication will always outweigh reactive nonsense and troll behaviour (believe it or not, you can present a dislike of Morrissey to a diverse group of strangers without being an ass).
Regards,
FWD.

48 hours later and still all abuzz from what I consider one of the finest concerts/ gigs/ shows I've been to. By anyone. It really was that spectacular a night. For me

'Mrs' Bluebird who usually tolerates this/ my sort of thing was enraptured, engrossed and thought he was truly wonderful.

If that is the final time I see Morrissey I'm glad I saw him at his unbridled best. I'm sure I'll venture forth in future but I honestly didn't think he still had a night like that in him. Life is full of surprises.

Thinking back to this time last week í can hardly believe it happened still. {Despite the satin dancin'}.

And never mind him, í honestly didn't think that í still had a night like that in me...

Jesus Christ, you emptied the bottle.

Stay safe.

Lord, í am a half-empty kind of guy.

Safety is a relative concept.

any truth to the rumors of LA shows "soon"? it's been a long time since he played a small venue in LA.

This gig was so good God gave up and retired for good.

They were cousins you know. Not quite kissing...

Nooooo! Surely not? No, I don't think poor old Kenny did much kissing of anybody, poor sod. Hoping he's having more fun wherever he is now.

Well, in my head they are; and don't call me Shirley.

KW & the ghost of a troubled Orton will be having a ball, í'm certain, whether in the penthouse or the basement.

Morrissey gigs at the London Palladium are always great and memorable! And with stage invasions!
