Ohhh, CG. You went there. I think it's the first reason, frankly. Maybe he thinks if he goes to enough Morrissey shows, he'll get some extracurricular tail, as soon as he informs the ladies that Morrissey's not interested in them. Picture this scenario (especially if you've met NRiTH):
Lady: Morrissey is so hot. I'd do him in a second.
NRITH: But he's gay.
Lady: Oh, you'll do then. Let's go.
NRITH: Ok, but don't tell Mrs. NRITH.
NRITH is very funny and very intelligent, but he doesn't bear any resemblance to Morrissey whatsoever (except that they are both vegetarian.) That creepy impersonator guy Mark is much more likely to land the spillovers.
Now NRITH (wait, sorry,
NRITH) is going to be mad at me, too.
