Anybody else fricking love the Smiths? I’ll be there at the Fillmore no doubt. I wish Morrissey would tour again (and actually perform the fricking shows) but I’m excited to see Johnny.

Would love to see that. Marr is great.

The Smiths had that unique upbeat sound… with the most depressing lyrics ever written.

IMO, Morrissey is a depressed, mysterious old man who loves Morrissey. He rarely does interviews and seems like he hates the world. I saw him in 2009 (Tour of the Tormentors) in Houston and to my surprise he delivered that night and played for close to 2 hours. SetList below... Not uncommon for Morrissey to show up 30 minutes late, or even walk off the stage if something (stage invader, band member, security) pisses him off. It's Morrissey's way or no way.

This Charming Man (Smiths song = SS)

Marr should put on a great show. Here is a recent SetList from 4/14/24 that I would definitely pay to go hear this set.

Good to see Marr playing some Electronic stuff in his sets. That was an underrated collection of talent.

Yeah, but you know a lot of that was tongue-in-cheek, right?
"I wear black on the outside' Cause black is how I feel on the inside." It's a joke.

I'm thinking about seeing them in Houston. So many bands I've bought tickets for and more I want to see. It's draining my wallet, especially with the bullshite extra fees .

Saw Echo & the Bunnymen Friday night and Slowdive with Drab Majesty last night (might be my favorite show in years). Bought tickets to see Ride in December, want to see OMD, Real Estate, and Johnny Marr and James.

And still has the drive, at his age, to still go out there and do it .

James seemed to have a brief moment in the early-to-mid 90s here in the States. They're still putting out albums.
