Friday, November 10 is Morrissey Day in Los Angeles until further notice
The city of Los Angeles is taking a gamble this week by assuming that Morrissey will be there tomorrow, Friday, November 10, to celebrate Morrissey Day. “Morrissey Day honors the man who put the ‘M’ in Moz Angeles, an icon whose music continues to touch and uplift countless people across the globe,” Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez says in a press release. “Morrissey uses his voice to raise awareness for many social issues while ‘in his own strange way,’ always staying true to his fans.” The city is even banking on Morrissey being there for both of his sold-out shows with Billy Idol at the Hollywood Bowl this coming weekend, and coming out on stage to receive a certificate from Rodriguez affirming L.A.’s love for Moz, even though he’s really uncomfortable with public displays of affection.
