Morrissey cancels Mexico (again and again and again)

vusleeper October 31, 2025

Just four hours before the show, the venue issued a statement that Morrissey had cancelled his appearance at Palacio De Los Deportes, in Mexico City (on Halloween), and also in Guadalajara, in Mexico (on November 4).

vusleeper August 17, 2025

When I was moving, I couldn’t bring everything with me. So, I thought the easiest thing was to leave my CDs, DVDs, and books behind. I figure I had already ripped all my DVDs and CDs, and, you know, I could always rebuild. I just didn’t have the room to bring everything with me.
Turns out, leaving books and CDs behind was one of the biggest regrets of my life.

New Year, New Jax City
