Morrissey is playing Ontario tomorrow! He's rarely played the IE and never in my hometown of Ontario. I've seen him in LA, Vegas, Hollywood, Pomona and even Bakersfield, but never Ontario. This is gonna be so special and heart warming. I'm going to be one dancing queen machine.
You see, as you probably know, Morrissey saved my life in high school. The Smiths showed me there was a place to go with my sadness. My dark wave soul found a home in their music and in Morrissey's lovely storytelling lyrics which were melancholy but also hopeful at times.
Friday, I will be on the floor in the Toyota arena singing along to every song, his solo stuff included. Morrissey's solo catalogue is underrated for sure. I'm hoping he sings "First of the Gang to Die" along with a host of my other Smiths and Morrissey favorites.
What to wear is the biggest question. Maybe my new combat boots that I've never worn. But they're not broken in...
So I'll probably go with my monkey boots along with a NY Dolls ripped tee (Morrissey's favorite band) and my leopard skirt. And when I see him in LA at the Greek on Saturday, I'll dress up more. I'll go pretty but Friday, I'll go comfortable. I'll be me.
Because, this is Ontario and I'm an Inland Empire girl. And for one night only, Morrissey is an Inland Empire boy...
