According to this Morrissey zine, The Moz is returning to “vulgar” America to support Ringleader of the Tormentors, his latest, ho-hum record (You Are The Quarry actually wasn’t half bad). Despite the new album’s lackluster appeal, I still want to see Morrissey live. He’s one of those teenage idols I’ve yet to see. No Southeast dates thus far, but more dates will be announced soon.
