Morrissey stops show two songs in after getting hit in the head with a flying water bottle
This isn’t some punk rock show at a dive club, this is an arena concert. Plus we’re dealing a major drama queen in Morrissey, emphasis on the queen part ;)
I would do the same fucking thing; the wankers.
I really don’t blame Moz at all. I read that Roger Waters got the idea for The Wall after being in Toronto on the Animals tour and being shocked by his own contempt for disrespectful twats in the audience… he had grown so tired of people getting drunk and tearing shit up and setting off bottle rockets and generally ignoring the music in favor of being an unruly mob of jerks that he spit on a guy who was trying to climb on stage (or something like that). Of course, he immediately felt bad about it and started wondering about the divisions people build between themselves and others, through selfishness or whatever else, and that became the basis for The Wall, the original concept being that the band would play the first half of the concept album completely behind a wall being dismantled piece-by-piece (I think this idea was later nixed).
Anyway, I totally empathize with these musicians… “drama queens” or not, they’re trying to do the best they can and I have so little patience for idiots that I actually agree. I hate bullies, I hate boors, and I hate disrespect. If someone threw a bottle at my head, walking off would be the least I’d do. Thoughts of tweaking out Christian Bale-style and strangling the motherfucker would enter my head, I’m positive.
