plain and simple: MOZ is a pompous ass for cancelling Paramount and then showing up @ DNA- he disappointed thousands of people. He is starting to resemble the spoiled pop stars he so often criticizes……….

For those of you others of bitching, it’s quite simple really. He has a very checkered history of cancelling dates especially when talking about California and, specifically, NorCal. I’m 40 and just as much of a fan as the next person but REALLY?!?! You can’t, as fans lucky enough to have seen him, empathize for those of us who have tried REPEATEDLY to attend a show or even to travel large distances to see him only to have the show/s cancelled at the last minute? I guess you’re not offended when you’re supposed to go out with someone several different occassions and they cancel on you at the last minute either, right? Come on. I saw him in Santa Barbara in 1990. He played one set and left for some unknown reason. No explanation was ever given and no money was refunded. My wife bought us tickets for my birthday to see him in San Francisco about three years ago. He cancelled that show due to being “sick” when, as facts have it, the show was far from sold out. We then were planning to travel out of state to see him and THAT show was again cancelled. For someone who lives in the “inhospitable” weather of California, he sure is sickened easily by it, and for those of you too selfish to show a shred of empathy for fellow fans, pull your head out.

The only reason why we are bitching about it, Mr. M, is because we HAVEN’T gotten to see Morrissey, unlike you who got to go to three of his shows. This isn’t the first time he has canceled Northern California, and yes, it does get a little tiring getting your hopes up to see him and then having them crushed the morning of the show by a cancellation message from Ticketmaster. Yes, he should have a break from his tour, but he should have the consideration for his fans to reschedule the canceled bay area show.

I saw the Morrissey concert in Austin and El Paso and he was just amazing. He gave his all and the crowd loved him for it. I also saw him at Cochella and I think he was very good. No where near his other concerts but he is an amazing performer and always come through. The smell of meat really was overwhelming and I felt slightly annoyed by it and I am not even a vegetarian. It smelled terrible. I really think Morrissey needs a break from his tour. He puts so much into his shows that I don’t doubt he gets worn out. If people don’t like him then they dont have to see him in concert. As for me, I will go to his shows as long as he is alive and performing. Everyone else with their two cents can just wither up and die. Because their bitching will be for nothing when I see them at his concerts singing to the same tunes as I am.

What on earth is this fuss all about? Looking at your video, Morrissey did not lose it in any way. He left the stage, but that did not appear to be in any dramatic way as a consequence of smelling the BBQ or whatever it was. Have you not got something better to do?

@Richard Sleeth:

Pathetic? perhaps. Honest, certainly. If Moz had “pathetically” stayed in after his canceled concert, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I’ll take pathetic over execrated any day.

No Defense. Shameless.

I have been a fan since the Smiths days but have always hated this aspect of Morrissey. It’s like everything he does, he does for himself and the fans are secondary. “Oh, the lowly masses, just can not work up the energy to appease the riff-raff tonight in… what was that town called? Oh, I shan’t go there tonight. But I wonder what is happening in SF?”
