This will really pack em in at MSG now. A mediocre new song, sung with an awful shrew of a singer. He should have gone with a classic. Or at the very least, one of two or three decent songs on ROTT...

If the world has to be exposed to any of morrissey, it really shouldnt be this song with that bit about him driving his car. Oh my.

oh I can't wait for this. Moz singing on the very same stage where Johnny just played a few weeks ago in his Modest Mouse incarnation. same studio where Sullivan's spirit still paces in the wings. I think Morrissey will give a wonderful performance, if his stars are in alignment that night. oh aren't we Americans lucky? is Letterman broadcast in England?

Am i the only one who thinks that 'All You Need Is Me' should be the single? it is far, far, FAR better!

Anonymous posters would be read more by me and their comments taken more seriously if, well, they were so ashamed of who they are. I understand they usually have very good reason to be.

clearly moz is getting it on with kristeen young. i like her. she is kinda sexy though a terrible singer. but how else do you explain it

Kristeen young is and excellent vocalist. Does anyone think Nina Hagen can't sing while we're at it??? ... Or that Patti Smith had an amazing voice?

Probably the same people who find no value in Tom Waits or Leonard Cohen's careers....

I love them all. Though in varying degrees....

It's a shame so many of you seem to think Kristeen Young can't sing.

Obviously you are hearing impaired.

Do you think that five albums into things and virtual anonymity, she's concerned with commercial appeal or traditionally accepted styles of female vocalism?

She sings because she has to. If she doesn't, she'll die.

That's why Morrissey sticks by her. She may be "supporting" him, but it's really the other way 'round.
He believes in her just like he believed in The Dolls and Jobriath and Klaus Nomi and all of the other obscure, commercially-disastrous, self-reliant auteurs that helped him survive adolescence.

Seriously, have you LISTENED to her album "X"??? it is a masterpiece of avant-gard pop. She is brilliant. You people don't know what you're missing.

You probably think faux-alternative chanteusses like Vagina Spektor or Amy Whorehouse are more digestible.

And they are.
One of them even made the cover of Rolling Stone!!!

That just about says it all.

So when is the new single actually out? We can only hope 'All You Need Is Me' is the B-side, because 'That's How People Grow Up' is pretty crap.

I would have preferred Morrissey sing with either Brandi Carlile or Feist. Is it too late for him to change his background singer?

Dave's webpage has Morrissey on Friday June 29 now. He's in Philly that night tho. Hmm.
Can anyone confirm? Wonder what happened.
