CBS hates me. I just want to see Morrissey… but not only do I have to sit through Craig Kilborn, who hasn’t been funny since he left the Daily Show, but **Tom Green** as well? Curses…

Did the elusive Morissey survive the green (heh) room delay and appear on CBS TV?

Did he perform?

Did Johnny Marr arrive with his Richenbacher and The Smith’s re-united? 🙂

Yeah he spoke with Craig for a while (after the fans stopped cheering :)) and played a new song he has written, called “First of the Gang to Die” (I think). It was pretty good!

The next night he returned to perform “Everyday is Like Sunday”, which I stupidly forgot to watch. And I call myself a fan? 😛

Now, if Moz can just find a record company, we’ll at last have a new record on our hands. 😃

It was great to see Morrissey out among people again. I didn’t know anything about his tv appearances beforehand, I stumbled on it Thursday night and tuned in again on Friday.

I have a question for you guys. I know he’s touring now, but all the dates that I know of, are in the western portion of the country. Does anyone know if he’s coming to the New York/Jersey/Philadelphia area any time soon? I saw him in Red Bank two or three years ago, and I’m dying to go again.
