Is Morrissey really sick? After reports of him having the flu, and/or, menangitis he may just be burnt out. He started the tour here in So-Cal just to hop over to New York, then various stops along the way. He's curating his own festival, headlining another. The guy is just all over the place. Maybe at 45, he can't do the things he used to.
Is it because of Kilborn's smart-ass remarks? Everyone here knows what I am talking about. The comments made with Rachel Leigh Cook, Bill Walton among others. Has he just pissed Morrissey off? Two years ago, Kilborn sets himself up to be a huge Moz fan. He has The Man on his show after all the *supposed* praise, got Him on to begin with, only to question in a half-ridiculing way, Morrissey's lyrics. He asked Morrissey as if he were a small child who just said something 'cute'. Nevermind the fact that he got them wrong when he attempted to quote, "Everyday Is Like Sunday". Two years on, Moz has a new album out and Kilby gets on the wagon again. He shows his disrespect by getting people, who most likely don't know who the hell Morrissey is, to comment on the appearance. Did the 'i'm not a hardcore fan, I just always thought he was funny' comment set Morrissey off? Upon watching this show for the past week and a half, it is hard not to assume Kilborn's 'admiration' is just a way for him to get his 'comedy' across. With the 'countdown' timer, it seemed that he has used Morrissey as a tool to make people laugh. The fact that Kilborn's show is weak and on very late, is beside the point. It still would be national exposure for him as well as the album.
Is Morrissey a flake? Does he just not care anymore? The plain and simple answer to that is: NO! This man does care about his career and his fans. Of course he wants the album to do well. He wants to have a comfortable retirement by resting on 'Sting' money. Morrissey doesn't want to, at the age of 60, move to Vegas and open for Sigfried and Roy. (No clones, I don't know which is the gay one! Try both.) Moz has constantly been labeled many things throughout his career for the fact that he is a self-reliant person. What people take for 'truculence' and 'unreliability', is in fact Moz's refusal to take shit. Nothing has changed in his career, it has worked for him so far, why shouldn't it work now? Morrissey will not compromise himself for anyone or anything, a trait we all should admire him for. If he does the Pepsi thing, we'll have our answer. We all remember the 'misunderstanding' that took place a week ago. Maybe he wasn't listening when his people said he would be at Kilby's for two nights sandwiching the Pepsi Smash.
No, actually he was. Maybe just enough to hear Kilborn's sarcasm.

A lot of you people seem unable to get passed how you thought when you were 14. Or maybe you ARE 14. Im talking about the posters who take swipes at Morrissey's supposed history of screwing himself over in spite of himself. It appears that these posters don't actually believe that Morrissey is sick. Now, why is THAT? Sounds like a 14 year old's 'living in denial' behaviour to me.
A LOT of people (since Morrissey's 2002 appearance on Late Late Show) have criticized Kilborn for his incorrect statement of the lyrics for Every Day Is Like Sunday - Morrissey even acknowledged this seconds after Kilborn said it. This is a prime example of how fans are wound way too tight. It appeared to me as an honest slip by Kilborn; think about it - Kilborn says he is a fan; he remembers that tune from somewhere since it came out in the LATE EIGHTIES but, unlike die-hard fans, isn't able to spin off the lyrics perfectly. Imagine! Forget that he's 20 seoncds into meeting someone he admires. Forget that he probably hasn't listened to that song more than 3 times a year since 1988. Forget that he's in front of an audience. 14 year olds tend to think everyone would behave just like they would were they in the same situation. They also don't pay very close attention to whats actually going on. Kilborn was criticized for something similar when Robert Smith was on - fans were ALL OVER kilborn for asking robert if he still wrote songs! In fact, Kilborn said "so you're writing songs".... and almost completed the sentence "for a new album" but robert cut him off as he agreed and rushed to talk about new things the band were doing. Fans mistook this for cluelessness on Kilborn's part - how could kilborn be so daft as to ask robert if he still wrote song?!? But no - that wasn't how it was at all.
And I cant believe I'm being so nitpicking about all this - but posts from some of you people make me sick. You fuck it up for a lot of people with your blaket statements and infinite wisdom about whats REALLY going on - and other people read it and get a picture of morrissey that is unflattering and unkind. remember a certain judge's comments about morrissey? clearly someone who is so into morrissey can make bone-headed and unfair comments as easily as someone who is unaware of morrissey's personality and history, like that judge.
Your attitude is disabling your ability to see things for what they are.
Good luck Morrissey! Get well soon! Its only a TV show - its not like Kilborn won't move mountains to get you back on when you're well - he's made that clear.

I think his schedule of late would take it out of anyone - let's not forget, he didn't just come home to play one, one and a half hour show at MEN and that was it. He's been promoting the album practically non-stop, appearing on countless tele shows and radio stations (what a joy that has been!) and then finally what must have been a massive 'weight' - albeit a good one - of performing to a sold out MEN. And organising Meltdown, although I doubt he actually did the ringing around (except NYD's of course!) He's also been very unwell prior to the tour.
I'm glad he's cancelled it. He needs a bloody rest! After his amazing performance on Saturday, he's probably drained - he really did put his all into it, much more so.

Moz is Being a Pussy! (Score:0, Troll)
Now, on with my rant... The fact of the matter is, that Kilborn promoted 'Morrissey Week' on his show (regardless of how he did it...I mean he's a comedian), and is currently the only Nationally syndicated talk show that I know of that was willing to have Moz on. Not only to have him on the show, but to have him on the show for A FUCKING WEEK! That's ballsy, and that's being a fan! Enough said on that. Here's the problem: Morrissey is a skirt! He could of done something MUCH MUCH more professional then having Kilborn make an announcement on the air. Making Kilborn read the release (I believe Sanctuary sent it to CBS) on the air made Morrissey appear completely opposite from anything and everything he's ever sang about. Especially w/his constant 'American Idol' comments. The least Moz could of done is have a television crew at his home in LA and make a 1-2 minute announcement saying that he was sick and apologize to all the fans and Kilborn. Seriously, is that too difficult to do? At the least it gives him some credibility! Maybe even do some funny like have the camera crew at his bed while he's resting, with a song or two from his CD playing in the background. That could count as an idea! The point being, is that it shows some kind of effort from Moz!
To me the bottom line is this: The release the Kilborn read signifies to me that Morrissey could give 2 shits about how he's viewed by his US audience. To me, he's all about trying to make it big back in the UK, isn't he? He says he's adopted America as his home, but he's still trying to IMPRESS himself to his long lost UK audience. He feels he has to prove to them that he's good enough. This is comparable to a pathetic relationship breakup. Where it's not an amicable breakup and only one of the two lovers has decided to end it. Meanwhile, the other is so insecure of her (or him) self, that they constantly cry about their lost love. Just screaming for attention! Even when another lover (America) comes across their path, they still talk about their old love (UK)! Anyway, that's my opinion. Moz doesn't love anyone but himself, his shadow and his fame in the UK. I tend to believe that being famous in America doesn't have the same 'grandeur and style' as being famous in the UK.
I hope to Jesus that Morrissey at least reads these posts and checks out these fan sites! You say 'I'm Not Sorry', but you should be. Tighten up!!!

Kilborn said Moz cancelled due to his illness (meningitis) and that Moz will cancel the Monday/Tuesday Kilborn appearance as well as the Pepsi Smash appearance. Kilborn also said that Moz hopes to make it for the Wednesday-Friday Kilborn tapings but that according to others that know the seriousness of meningitis, that it is unlikely he will actually be on Wednesdays show.
Craig also noted that Morrissey really wanted to tape the show, and that a reschedule would most likely take place.
