I once saw Morrissey in a Dublin pub with two blonde brazzers canoodling on his earlobes. My heart shattered to see the King of Mope happy. (Not to mention I thought he was gay at the time.)

True Story.

But happy he is and coming to a city near you in the fall as the former Smiths frontman has announced a 33-city tour of the U.S. in support of his recent release, ‘Very Best of Morrissey’

Some heroes you want to remember in their prime; others you don’t care enough about to worry.

Morrissey is somewhere in the middle. He lives long in my memory but I kinda wanna see him rock out live at an arena near me soon. You should, too. And maybe he’ll bring those Dublin blondes.
