These days, one must certainly be a die-hard fan of Morrissey to go see the original emo in concert. Yet even these devotees can’t stomach his tradition of tearing his shirt off onstage:
“At the end of the day, Morrissey isn’t the slim young thing he once was and actually has a bit of a middle-aged spread these days.
“A large percentage of fans now actually feel rather embarrassed when he insists on stripping off as it isn’t a particularly pretty sight.”
So is the tearing off of the shirt symbolic of Morrisey’s psychic anguish? Even if this is the case, one cannot overlook the physical reality of forty-eight year old man boobies. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it.

I think “original emo” is quite close to the mark.
I saw Debbie Harry on Today (with Lily Allen) & she did know how to dress her age
Wait till he sees the 53-year-old-man boobies. Then he can really ask Is It Now?
is it just me, or is he looking a little bit like a younger Slobodan Milosevich in that right picture?
dear lord. I HATE Morrissey*. Morrissey shirtless…. there are no words to describe my pain…..
* before you bitch, yeah, yeah I know, but the man sounded like a dying cow 15 years ago. He hasn’t improved any with age….
Ha! The man has perpetual premenstrual syndrome, and now he also has terminal love handles.
Original emo? hahahaha…
Emo is an offshoot from hardcore punk music, originating from the DC area. Do your homework. Bloggers (old people) need to stop using “emo” to describe every fucking thing. It’s ill-informed and getting boring.
Then don’t fucking read it if it offends you so much. Twit.
Yeah well.
The comment box isn’t only for praise…
Sometimes, when someone is young, you can just tell they will age badly, and the worst afflicted may be the Concave Face Kids. There’s really no ethnic Precursor to this sad condition, it has stricken parties as diverse as Drew Barrymore, Quentin Wankertino, Soon-Yi Allen, and Morrissey. Poor poor Morrissey. His head is like a giant overripe peach that will one day snap off at his neck and roll into the North Atlantic.
