Morrissey and Taxis

[CrystalGeezer]

So I've been noticing that Morrissey definitely toys with the theme of transportation. Taxis, double-decker busses, far off places. I picked this one from Pinkpop because the trumpet is muted like the witness whom the taxi picks up. I don't think the taxi actually picks her up though because she says, "Wait a minute. It may be hard for the flesh to combine, but it can. You know how?"

Lambda, oh lambda. Lambda, lambda, lambda, lambda, lambda, lambda.

Only the ringleader of the tormentors can pick up this witness because they match.

I particularly like the look of fear on the face of the guy wiping his mouth at the beginning.

You're gonna laugh you ass off at this then.

Here, at the VW theater, something's bugging Morrissey. I think it's the

Gamma, oh gamma. Gamma, gamma, gamma, gamma, gamma, gamma nature of the situation. Notice how when he goes to his right of the stage the bouncer behind him ready to pounce, looking like an upside down coda. Then when he starts belting the gammas out questioning the impossibility of flesh combining, the lights turn red. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he go from three to two James Dean's during this tour?

[yesitis]

did you hear the cast of seinfeld is reuniting on curb your enthusiasm? that's pretty awesome!

 

[CrystalGeezer]

Yeah, that's awesome. My point is that while a man points to the sky, Morrissey points to the coda who has his best interests in mind and won't let this shit happen. Keep in mind this is on a macro level, I imagine Morrissey experiences or has experienced the same chaos in his mind on a micro level for a very long time from the same cosmic perpetrator. Until his coda came along, finally.

[yesitis]

i wonder if they'll reference the whole michael richards racist outburst shenanigans?

 

[CrystalGeezer]

Yeah, like "Hey Cosmo, do you want vinigger and oil on your sallad?"

My mistake, he's not a coda, he's a fermata. I never could really read the music, I always played by ear.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

The thing that breaks my heart watching the Dallas video, other than the chaos and the worry I feel watching it, is that moment when the girl in the yellow blouse kisses his hand and he looks at her like, "Maybe you're the one." and he seems to follow her for a second.

 

[yesitis]

that looks like an eye.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

It's a bird's eye.

 

[yesitis]

 

[CrystalGeezer]

See, because I think he was told that they would meet on a stage so he's looking and looking and looking not knowing that the stage is the world where we live and the stage in our mind which is a wholly unsatisfying place to meet. So he's couragous and says "I'll put myself on every stage possible and ask them to come to me." And they do but it's never her, it's always a trick, a mask.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

This is not the case of a man who's too complicated and persnickity to find a person to settle down and be comfortable with, this is the case of a man who only has one choice and his entire life has been dictated and consumed with finding this person who calls to him. It's a case of the good hours conquering the bad hours while daily being lead astray and finding his way back because his heart is perfect and pure.

[yesitis]

i like his voice too.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

Yeah, he has a nice voice.

 

[yesitis]

and i wouldn't say no if he asked me to touch his penis.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

Yeah that's where I come in.

 

[yesitis]

no, you have to love him in a pure chaste way. i get to touch the penis. if he's into that.

 

[MORRIZSEY]

Do you have to be vulgar?

 

[yesitis]

the word penis is vulgar to you?

 

[CrystalGeezer]

He wouldn't let you touch his penis anyway so I wouldn't worry about it. Here's something to keep in mind when you listen to his songs. There's a person or a force who keeps him from his love and it's very real to him. What Morrissey has to do is convert his love into this "bad" force so that she or he can outwit them and ultimately be reunited with him. His entire catalog of music is a documentation of this "war." So let's say taxis is at first bad. He has to take taxis and make it good so that it can dwell in his house, the one pointing up towards heaven. This song is a CLASSIC example of this ongoing struggle sung by a man I first knew a morning DJ:
