Morrissey MUSIC
Morrissey

It's been a tough stretch for this charming man. Having been driven offstage by the stench of burning flesh at Coachella, felled by "breathing troubles" onstage in Swindon, then—what the fuck?—clocked with a beer bottle onstage in Liverpool, Morrissey needs our love more than ever. Touring in support of his recent B-sides compilation Swords, Morrissey will hit the Paramount with his perennially sharp band and, if recent history holds true, an unusual generosity with Smiths classics. (Paramount, 911 Pine St, www.stgpresents.org. 7:30 pm, $52–$72.)

It wasn't a beer bottle, it was an open bottle of water. Big difference.

For wandering around today before the show, I hit on a headphone jumble of live Ella Fitzgerald and studio Moz. Their singing attitudes are mindfuckingly opposite (a joyous Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive followed by, er, Something is Squeezing My Skull), but their vibrato styles really go well together.

@ 1 Oh, it was an ooo-pen bottle of waa-ter. Well, then that makes it ok.

When and where is your next gig? I 'd love to throw some refreshment in your direction...

@4. We've seen worse. Pretty sure we can handle whatever you wanna throw at us.
