Morrissey's tour is set to resume tomorrow (November 10th) with a sold out show in Los Angeles. Morrissey may or may not be ready for the gig, but the city of Los Angeles sure is ready for Moz. Mayor Eric Garcetti and the Los Angeles City Council proclaimed November 10th as Morrissey Day.
"Morrissey Day celebrates an artist whose music has captivated and inspired generations of people who may not always fit in — because they were born to stand out."
What a brilliant move by the city of Los Angeles! The city and Morrissey fans unite to bestow love on a deserving legend, plus at the same time Morrissey Day serves as an ingenious insurance policy to make sure the elusive Moz shows up and performs the gig! Crafty! Well played, Los Angeles.
UPDATE (11/11): Watch Morrissey accept his honor as part of the Morrissey Day ceremony below:
