Morrissey, Aragon Ballroom, 4/4/09

Morrissey.
In a tuxedo.
Singing This Charming Man.

That's how the show began, then my brain exploded and I can't function anymore.

I just don't know what to say, It was amazing. There's such a weird mixture of people at Morrissey shows, everyone thinks he's singing about them.
That's the magic of Morrissey, he sings about being a lonely loser, but does it in such a noble and beautiful way that we all think we're part of some tragic heroic class...and that all the happy gregarious people are doing it wrong.
Three shirt changes in (after the obligatory throwing one into the crowd after singing "But then you open your eyes and you see someone that you physically despise") came what I thought was the best moment. He did a really moving version of Seasick, Yet Still Docked that almost had me in tears. I was standing there thinking would it be weird? I might cry. Oh no. I'm not, I'm not. Then these two idiots in front of us started heckling Moz and flipping him off...so I diverted my attentions to giving them the evil eye. CRYING CRISIS AVERTED.
No-one jumped onto the stage to grab a quick Moz hug. I think he was desperate for it to happen...by the end he was lying at the edge of the stage dangling an arm off, just begging someone, anyone to take on the tasty looking security guard. Alas, that bit of Morrissey protocol didn't happen.
