Morrissey

The Tour of Refusal supporting the newest CD Years of Refusal. Open with the 1983 The Smiths tune This Charming Man, end the 90-minute set with Life is a Pig Sty, and encore with Irish Blood, English Heart. It was a trip to Durham including dinner at Tyler's Taproom beforehand: IPA's followed by the concert; bitter followed by melancholy. Then afterward, a planned stop at Mellow Mushroom was thwarted because it was closed, so back to Tyler's for a nightcap of Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout before the hour drive home. Fantastic concert. Great seats. It was great to finally see him live. And strangely enough I survived without any thoughts of cutting myself or suicide. I am strong that way.
