On June 27, before the MSG show, I tweeted the following:
At first I was under the severe delusion that Morrissey had taken my advice. May I present to you his outfit at the next three shows in New York, Akron, and Cincinnati:
As you can see, this is completely the wrong order! And the black-pink one isn't even black-pink, it's violet (and it's NOT just the stage lighting, I checked that).
Captured in my delusions, I excitedly blogged about this "sign", and while the dreamier part of my mind was already busy with plans about my new fabulous life as Morrissey's personal stylist, I considered it my duty to inform him that brown as a shirt colour is entirely unacceptable. Would you now please take a look at Maestro's shirt choices for the next show in Nashville:
You will certainly agree that this can only be a genuine coincidence.
However, something unforeseeable occured, a conspiracy of the universe. You might remember that Morrissey's show in Nashville was postponed and moved to a different venue, incidentally the Ryman Auditorium, where he had already played the year before. This led to some confusion on Twitter, when the first youtube videos from the Nashville show were shared, and only because of this, we got aware that the Blue Rose Society had missed something! Last year at the Ryman - watch Morrissey dramatically picking up a yellow rose at 0:20 and gently throwing it over to his security guy, who hopefully saved it as carefully as Hector the Bug:
Mlle Kerry already reported on the Blue Rose Garden in an earlier article, and with these additional "coincidences", does anyone really still wonder why Morrissey opened the show with "Rose Garden"?
The world of Morrissey is a weird one, and it's easy to get lost in the jungle. It's not always as obvious as this time. In order to seperate the genuine coincidences from the intentionally given signs, it requires a clear mind and most of all a very well-trained eye. Talking of which:
The Nashville shirt was black/silver not brown as it appears on the picture. It was a very lovely combination.
ReplyDeleteThe one he wore for the encore? In that case I'd salute Monsieur. Great choice, and I also love the return of the racing stripes. Do you remember where you saw that picture? I only found the one I've posted, and there's no videos from the encore so far.
DeleteTomorrows shirt choice, I see red.
DeleteThe main shirt was black/silver. The - here, have it, it's a lot cheaper - encore shirt looked like it had been black but put through a few hot washes.
ReplyDeleteI think you must be colour-blind, Mlle Gina! Check out the footage of Rose Garden, to me that looks very much like a brown-gold combination (incidentally also one which is orange inside, as you can see in the picture above, look at his sleeve). Who would ever create a black-silver shirt and make it orange inside? Certainly not Monsieur Dries!
DeleteAs for the encore, it still looks rather brown than black to my eye:

Now how can we solve this riddle? Is Damon on Twitter? Should we try to get some information out of the Bozziah? This is an important matter after all!
Cher M Orange, I was there. Unless I've gone colour-blind.... Some of my pics look brown. Others look black
DeleteYou were there? Why didn't you tell us earlier?? We need a review! Are you going to see more shows?
DeleteNo more shows for me unfortunately. Our Lord was amazing. Rich of voice. Touched by his reception. In good spirits.
ReplyDeleteBut at least you got Rose Garden. And it would seem that the shirt colour riddle is finally solved - Morrissey definitely and without doubt wore a black-dark-brownish shirt with silvery-gold inlay. I'm glad the confusion is over now. As if Monsieur would wear a certain shirt because some Orange predicted it on Le Twitter! Although I admit - it was funny to think that he did.
