Hi there! Apologies about invading your discussion, but you all are *exactly* the type of fans that I need for a story I'm working on!
I'm an entertainment reporter at the New York Post and am looking for New York-based Morrissey fans who'll be attending at least one of his shows at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Basically, I'm interested in finding out:
-How long you've been a fan
-Why you like Morrissey so much
-What does his music mean to your generation or how has it changed your life
-If you'll be introducing your kids or a younger generation to his music through the show
-If this will be your first Morrissey show
-Would you rather see him perform several times at a smaller venue (like this one) or have one massive concert at a huge venue (like Madison Square Garden)
-How many of the 5 shows you'll be attending and what you're expecting/hoping to see (if it's all five of 'em, why on earth are you doing that?!)
-If there's any comparison between Morrissey's music and what's popular/coming out now
The piece is running on Wednesday Oct 24, so I'd need to speak with/e-mail you by Tuesday at 3pm EST. If it makes your life easier, I'd be happy to call you if you provide me with your number.
Thanks in advance,
Maxine
