The Morrissey concert will be here before you know it. Anyone know if he does any Smiths songs? I'm assuming no since he's not that charming of a man.

Actually, he does. In fact he started including songs by The Smiths in his shows for some time now.
Kenneth - he most certainly does perform Smiths songs, has for years. I will say (as a massive Morrissey fan) that his band rarely plays them with the delicacy and finesse that the Smiths did - sometimes they're kind of bludgeoned. But whatever - it's the f*cking Smiths we're talking about. See you then!
Taffy
Great selection. However, I imagine my chances of catching this one live are around the same as it was for (FM's) "Sara" -- also at MSG -- alas. Would love to be proven wrong, though!
The last time I saw him at Strathmore he did my favorite Smiths song, "Please Please Please, Let Me Get What I Want." Tears of joy to finally hear this song preformed live! Immediately followed by 10 minutes of "Meat is Murder" however, with three-story-high images of slaughtered cows. This can be your bathroom break, but act fast because half the auditorium will have the same idea. (Frankly, I was tempted to go to the concession stand and buy a burger.) Otherwise, it was a great performance, the band was tight, and the set was an appropriate mix of solo (75%) and Smiths material (25%).
