WoohooS & BoohooS

Morrissey is coming.  Here.  In the Philippines.  Morrissey, who in MY list of my favorite, greatest most iconic male lead vocalists, is up there with Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Michael Stipe (REM), Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), John Lennon (Beatles), Roger Daltrey & Pete Townshend (The Who), Jim Morrisson (The Doors), Bradley Nowell (Sublime), Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones), Axl Rose (Guns n' Roses), Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Joe Strummer (The Clash), Ian Curtis (Joy Division), David Byrne (Talking Heads) and of course Bob Marley (Bob Marley & The Wailers).  There are a lot of others who are of course equally great but for me, these guys are the lead rocketships that propelled everyone into space, the Vostok 1, the Yuri GagarinS of music, elevating their genre into mind-blowing, out-of-this world greatness.  And Morrissey, lead vocals of my most favorite 80's band The Smiths, is coming to town.  And all I can say is ... %$#@!  Because I might not be able to watch him.  Out of all the other shows I've already missed (Whitest Boy Alive, Incubus, Death Cab for Cutie, and tonight, Toe), this will prove to be the most heartbreaking of them all.  Dolores (Cranberries) is coming also, might be as heartbreaking but my love for Ms. O' Riordan merits another post, hailing other female lead vocalists as well.  Oh boohoo how this blows. One of those rare times I really wish I chose the path more travelled, where a steady income is available twice a month ... "I was looking for a job, and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now. In my life, why do I give valuable time, to people who don't care if I live or die?"
