It just wasn't like the old days anymore

today i got a myspace friend request from "quarry" which upon first glance is like okay cool, some british geezer who loves morrissey, like i've never heard of that before. but no, no it's a party? and they have a website so, which is interesting considering they started their night in 2005, and i was at the early days of smiths nights @ sway in 2004 when there was no one there. and by no one there i mean, it looked like this: *photo grabbed from Patrick O'Dell's site. aug 29th, 2004 album. see also epiclylater'd link on the right when the only ones there were ben cho, ryan mcginley, o'dell, and some other mozzer fans who you would've seen at the fish if they weren't at sway. now. NOW. you can hardly get in the party. i mean bloke who's started this UK nite, he's 40 years old according to his myspace page. So lets assume it's not like he just started liking smiths/moz. Dude probably has that shit on vinyl. And he's talking about starting a night in LA, which Tony informed me last year there was this once a month smiths/mozzer experience at the echo or some shit, that happened on every other solar eclipse. (jk. it wasn't a weekly is all i meant). Just gets me thinking, i mean when i started listening to the Sex Pistols, Sid Vicious had long been dead, so i can't hate on these young bucks coming up in the scene and over crowding what used to be my favorite night out in NY. When i went through my Smiths phase it was 1989, newsflash, they broke up in 1987. So although i meant every word i wrote on my book covers in 1989, you know that no one understands me and "I wear black on the inside, because black is how i feel on the outside..." & my calligraphy project that was the lyrics to "hand in glove" written around an outline of my hand (deep, i know).... even though i went through all these phases, even I had missed the boat of the hey day. So who am I to hate? i just miss the old days. and by old days i don't mean the days when Jen Walker & I used to put "meat is murder" stickers on the meat in our suburban grocery stores. (although that was great fun too. ps. jen walker eats meat now. and i haven't had a hamburger since 1992). some other randoms from that nite in '04: here's the rest of them. sunday, august 29th, 2004 It just wasn't like the old days anymore No, it wasn't like those days Am I still ill ? Oh ... Am I still ill ? Oh ...
