MORRISSEY MATTERS

I want him very deeply, inside me.

No dear, that buffet is an all YOU can eat.

R1: Sadly, Damon has that position, erm, filled ATM.

R3 - who is this Damon fellow? Details if you please.

Damon is Morrissey's boyfriend. They've been together for a few tears now.

R5 - that was obvious from the post at R3 so your post was repetitive. I need to know things like the following: does Damon have a last name? What does he do for living? Where is he from? Where did they meet? etc... You know, DETAILS.

Just "Damon is his BF" is not sufficient to satisfy my morbid curiosity.

He's been around since about 2009. He acts as Morrissey's PA. No idea where they met. Here's an older photo. (Damon dresses better now.)

Morrissey is awesome.

R7 - yes, so now we all know what Damon personally assists Morrissey in doing. He's on the payroll like I was..

Oh, Steven Patrick, you aren't as "original" as you were back in the days. You've lost your groove, gurl!

R8 - let me correct you.

Morrissey WAS awesome.

If you're Jake, why are you on a gay message board? Won't the wife get a bit in a tit?

R10, I suggest [bold]Mr. Ray's Wig World[/bold] for you!

If it's Morrissey, it's more than just a few tears.

R11 - old habits die HARD, you know.

Seriously, are you question serious? Do you know about humor and sarcasm? Hint: On DL, people don't have to be Anonymous. They can type anyone's name even those who wouldn't be caught dead on here. Get it now?

^ Seriously, are you serious?

Best friend on the payroll, then?

R14, are you Crazy Wayne? If so, go on with your bad self. You know I loves ya.

I was just recently listening to the underrated, "The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get."

Criminally so, R18. You have incredibly good taste.

You're the one for me, fatty!

OK... more photos and fun. All aboard for fun time!

Does he look like a gayling?

I actually saw The Smiths in concert in the early 80's before they broke up. I was a HUGE FAN all the while they were a group. The band was a big part of my angst-ridden teenage years. At that time, Morrissey and Marr were magical (not to diminish Roarke and Joyce's contributions). Morrissey was his skeletal, flower-swinging, frantic-dancing self. I remember his melancholy voice over the sound system singing "I Know It's Over" and I swear I got goosebumps. You could hear a pin drop in an audience of thousands. He had everyone in the palm of his hand. Their albums were wonderful but it was their live shows which captured their true essence. For the youngsters who never got to see the Smiths, I feel bad for you. The Morrissey I witnessed was in his prime and it was a joy to behold.

I followed Morrissey's solo career up until his "comeback" album "You are The Quarry" . Sadly, I don't think anything he's released after this album was anything special (and it pains me to say that because of all of the listening pleasure he's given me over the years). But that's how it goes. Some artists have their golden moment in the spotlight when their talent shines brightly and when it ends they can never retain that special something which made them "unique" in the first place. It would have helped if he had another Johnny Marr (Alain Whyte was good but he was no Marr) and a record company who believed in him but he didn't. Now, old age, weight gain and ill health has taken its toll. I will say one thing about the old Morrissey: his autobiography proved that he's still has a love and talent for words.

Clichés! Things That are Clichés! Stale Phrases! Worn-Out Phrases!

I thought that autobiography was coy yet bitter and borderline pointless. Morrissey has a lot of scores to settle, has never forgotten a slight, and clearly loves to be pampered and sucked up to by record company types. Musically the Smiths were interesting but Morrissey shared nothing about their process. Read the autobiography of John Taylor from 80s twink band Duran Duran -- it's oddly a more interesting and revealing read and I enjoyed it more.

Simon LeBon has never been a twink. Clearly a twunk. Andy Warhol's butt-baby (Nick Rhodes) is obviously the only one who is into aggressive dieting and the appropriate technique of pre-mortem embalming.

Maybe "lightweight teen band" is a better word for Duran Duran than "twink." They were awfully cute and gay boys crushed on them openly the same as girls did.

He should've stuck with Stephen Street, at least for a longer time. BIG mistake dumping him.

OMG, those aren't even radial tires!

Saw The Smiths 2 nights on the "Meat is Murder" tour in 1985 at the Hollywood Palladium and then again for 2 nights in 1986 on the "Queen is Dead" tour at the Universal Amphitheatre. I've seen Morrissey many times over but nothing compares to The Smiths! NOTHING!

It was FAB!!!!!!!
