Also: does the priest outfit not make one think that perhaps he was going to sing "I Have Forgiven Jesus," and that "First of the Gang..." was a concession to the network?

Also, whatever comments Moz may have made in the past, he and Dave appeared very cordial--and Fr. Morrissey even smiled. I do wish Dave would interview his musical guests, but alas--at least he had him on.

My Review (Score:1)
I placed the call this morning to attempt to get a stand-by ticket for myself. I got in at #40...took my chances, and headed straight out from Philadelphia since I had to be there no later then 4:30. I got up there in time, and when 4:30 rolled around, they lined us up according to number. But it didn't take long for the representative to announce that anyone with a number of 40 and above will definitely not be getting in. Two of my friends were numbers 31 and 32 and I waited with them to see if they were able to get in. It didn't take long for the same guy to deliver the same message (sorry girls). The only wound up letting in 9 people. What a dissapointment.
I waited out back afterwards and was able to get a picture with an autograph of Nicolas Cage and a glimpse of Jason Alexander. Finally Morrissey emerged but was quick to his getaway vehicle as usual. The band came out a few minutes later and Mary, one of the girls, snapped photos, one with Dino, Mike and I, and another of Boz and I. Not exactly what I came for but this was pretty neat. Thanks to everyone who stopped to talk to the fans, sign autographs and take pictures and such. It's a very kind gesture, and it made my day into a not complete wste of time and money. (Jason Alexander was immediatly going to Chicago so got left right away, Mozz was being Mozz, and Jesse and Gary no one really stopped so they kept walking, went up the street and dissapeared)
I just watched and taped the airing, I guess I didn't miss too much but this day will still go down as a big let down.

At the Barrier (Score:2, Interesting)
Plan B: In our discouragement we gravitate over to the barrier by the stage doors. Nic Cage arrives. In Morrissey mode, I expect him to sweep by, but no. He pauses in front of the people by the barrier and signs autographs, and lingers so much that I have time to approach the crowd, take out my camera, and start snapping away. He looks great: He has on a white wife-beater and tight leather jeans. He is smaller than I would have thought, both in height and weight. He appears extremely gentle and kind--slowly going though the motions--not rushing at all. I really haven't thought about him in about 10 years, though I did use to admire him and love some of his movies like Wild at Heart. (Also he's a huge Elvis fan which is great.) I am thinking to myself he looks great, so I just shout out, "You look great, Nicolas!" to which he responds "thank you." (I feel silly calling him by his first name!) My friend tells him she loves his pants. The crowd is very calm and so is he--very nice experience. The true paparazzi appears to be on the other barrier and are shouting out: "Over here, Nic!" Over here, that's right, thank you!" Everyone on our side is overcome by how nice and mellow he is and thanking him. I yell out, "Thank you Nic!" impressed by a celebrity that stops to interact with his fans, not used to it (living in the Moz world too long).
Autograph hounds are there that simply run the rounds of the studios and get everyone's autograph and pictures, so the people there are not necessarily fanatic about each single star, though methodical in their push to gain as many celebrity autographs as possible. I get the feeling there is a small scene of these people--maybe they all know each other and have their own clicks and drama--maybe even their own internet message board! Though there was one person that had specific Nic Cage posters that he signed.
Then comes Jason Alexander. He is equally friendly and signs a lot of autographs. I snap some pictures and I think say "Thank you" again impressed by this accessibility.
The show goes pretty fast and before we know it Nicolas Cage is back again, lingering again. With all the flashes going off, I get into press mode and ask, in a press-conference type voice, "Did you talk to Morrissey, Nicholas?" He sort of laughs and says, "No, I didn't, sorry." with an Elvis-like drawl. He pauses near me and takes photos with my friends and I also snap another photo of him with someone standing near me. I didn't ask to be in a photo with him because I was really there for Morrissey, but looking back, maybe I should have, oh well.
Next comes out Jason Alexander. He shrugs his shoulders apologetically and says, "Sorry, I have to rush to catch a plane," something like that, and walks slowly to his car. He does seem genuinely apologetic, but then again he is an actor. Again, I am impressed by how cool these two people were.
Next the moment we were all waiting for. A black Mercedes pulls up and its door opens at a perfect angle for me to take a shot. People are getting nervous every time the door opens. The driver waits outside the car. I take his picture--I'm not sure he enjoyed that. My friend and I had gotten incredibly silly and giddy by this point. Apologies if you were around us. We are using quite well-adjusted people. Morrissey's manager comes out, talks to some people i

The Letterman gig seemed "tacked on," serving no real promotional purpose by playing a song that's been flogged to death on American TV. Why not play I Like You or The World is Full of Crashing Bores? I think the post-tour exhaustion showed in both Morrissey's lackluster vocal performance and the overall presentation. And First of the Gang to Die is one song in particular begging for Alain's return: Jesse murders the solo.
I hate to say it, but the best part for me was Letterman's wise ass comment when he came over to shake Morrissey's hand!

I think it is very rude of Morrissey to ignore his fans all the time. I met him in person and he was brutal. Also, what's with the priest costume? I know I'm not British and I would'nt understand but, that's wierd! It sucks that Morrissey has to sing a song that he sang over two years ago. It's a shame his career has come to this. The Smiths recorded a hundred good songs in the same time span when they were huge.
Now you people can start bashing me and drink your Kool Aid. Oh by the way, that's something you British would not get!

While we’re still on question-time, here are some more teenage exam attempts, especially for tenderliz, almodez, mozisgod, eric, pedro, eli and millions of others I overlooked the last time who brave the course.
This is a(nother) compilation of actual student GCSE answers...
1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and travelled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
2. The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked, "Am I my brother's son?"
3. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
4. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines.
5. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth.
6. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.
7. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.
8. In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java.
9. Eventually, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long.
10. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out: "Tee hee, Brutus."
11. Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his subjects by playing the fiddle to them.
12. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw. Finally Magna Carta provided that no man should be hanged twice for the same offence.
13. In midevil times most people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the futile ages was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verses and also wrote literature.
14. Another story was William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head.
15. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "hurrah."
16. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. And Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper.
17. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Romeo's last wish was to be laid by Juliet.
18. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.
19. During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic.
His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe.
20. Later, the Pilgrims crossed the ocean
