Here is the scene from Saturday night in Liverpool, when Morrissey-a fifty-year-old man who recently collapsed on stage during another performance-was struck in the head by a plastic beer bottle. (The photo in the link is kind of amazing.) This is probably not going to go down in the books as one of Morrissey's favorite tours. Poor thing.

This is terrible news for everyone stuck in 1989.
I hope his head isn't made of suede because the beer would ruin it.
For the record, I did not assume that when you said "amazing," you meant, "looks like Nick Denton."
Ooops! That was the one.
Britain is like the class that gets carried away with the tiniest bit of extra leeway it's allowed on a field trip, going too far and turning a nice, orderly visit to the Coca Cola Museum into a shambles of glassings, stabbings, and fast food refuse. When will Gordon Brown and Queen Elizabeth get fed up and make everyone get back on the bus and go home early?
Plastic beer bottle? It's like they KNEW.
[insert Denton joke]
With this kind of thing I always want the follow-up report of whether the bottle thrower promptly got the beer beat right out of him/her...
i'll bet this made morrissey sad...very, very sad.
Britain has taught us that having firearms is an effective way to mask our atavistic tendencies.
I'm betting Simon Carr confesses next week.
