Today is Sunday. My usual routine is to get up, go to the store and get some groceries. I come home, work out, eat lunch then get on twitter to see what is going on in the cyber world. Of course I did my usual boring thing on this Sunday. I was going through my twitter timeline and the the above picture hit me like a cold, hard slap to the face. Morrissey has never been on a date! Wait a second here. this can't be true. I truly was flattened when I saw this, here's why: last night I had a dream I went ice skating with Morrissey and it was a date.
I rarely ever dream and when I do they are usually horrid affairs. I am falling off a cliff, being run over by a truck or being murdered by a burglar. This was not my usual fare in dreamland. The dream began at an ice rink of course. I said hello to Our Moz and he said let's get our skates on. He had his own skates too. I play ice hockey, so I am a pretty good skater. We got out on the ice and began to skate. I was pleasantly surprised at how good a skater Moz was. He could skate backward, do spins and jumps. I was very impressed at his skills. We skated for awhile and then went to the cafe in the rink and had something to drink. Unfortunately, I woke up and my date with Our Moz was over. He has had a date but it was with a nobody from nowhere in a dream. The funny thing was, this was not the current Moz, it was Moz from about 20 years ago. He was wearing a nice pair of jeans and a long sleeved shiny gold shirt. This isn't over yet. It felt so real but once I realized I was in my bed and not at an Ice Rink with Mozza, I smiled, laughed to myself and thought what funny tricks your mind can play on you. It was fun while it lasted. My dreams weren't over for last night.
I fell back to sleep almost immediately. My unconscious took over and I was back in dreamworld. I was in some kind of office and seated in a chair. There was a white curtain which was partially open.
On the other side of the curtain was Morrissey and two ladies. They looked to be reading him financial reports. He was listening intently to them and when he saw me sitting there he smiled and waved. I smiled and waved back. Seconds later Boz Boorer came into the office, he was red faced and extremely upset about something. I said hello as he rushed by me but he didn't acknowledge me. He went through the curtain where Moz and the ladies were. He was trying to say something to Our Moz. Mozza told him to sit down and he had an announcement to make. Moz called for me to come in behind the white curtain. I obliged and as I got behind the curtain, Moz said "I would like to introduce you to Harrison". And at this important moment I woke up! One second I was the subject of an important announcement by Morrissey, the next I was lying alone in my bed. Talk about a big disappointment.
I laid there for awhile trying to take this all in. I just had two dreams about Morrissey in the space of about an hour. My immediate thoughts were, am I obsessed with Morrissey? Am I going crazy? What the hell did I have for dinner last night? Upon reflection I came up with no concrete answers and fell back to sleep with no more dreams. I really didn't think much of it until I saw the headline Moz never was on a date. He really has had a date but he just doesn't know it.
In the real world, the Morrissey U.S. tour successfully rolls on. He is playing to enthusiastic sell out crowds. Portland, Seattle, San Fran, L.A., Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, St. Louis and Chicago so far. He is playing a mix of songs, old standbys plus songs from his wonderful new album "Low in High School". He has added some marvelous surprises also. Those include "Glamorous Glue", " I Started Something I Couldn't Finish.", "I'm Not Sorry", "Hold On To Your Friends" and last night in Chicago "Munich Air Disaster 1958". His new album has hit number 5 in the UK charts in its first week. It's well deserved, as this album is a great one.
