this picture was taken a couple of years ago across the street from where i lived. it was the track beside the school, central tech, i think.
morrissey was last night and it sure was weird. lots of older people, hipsters and high school kids. he put on a really good show considering the music was terrible. he did play a couple of smiths songs but the band sounded pretty weak on them. they ended up sounding like covers or karaoke. people were still crazy for him, they did the hugging thing and it seemed that he enjoyed it alot. the guys who would get up on stage would run for him at full speed for there hug, but the girls took a different approach and got up and walked up to him and gently kissed him on the cheek. some people whispered stuff in his ear when they got up there. i've never seen such devotion to a singer before. it was a great experience. i know that people were wanting more smiths songs but he mostly played his new album.
i'm still reading the weezer book, it's a long one considering that it's about a band like weezer. about half the book is the blue album and pinkerton, which is mostly the stuff i wanted to read about. i still have about two hundred pages to go. i just finished the part where he drops out of harvard after making pinkerton and he goes a little crazy, painting his house all black on the inside, disconnects the phone and just writes songs. it says that he ended up writing over a hundred songs in that period. very interesting.
