In life we pick our battles. A week and a half ago Scarlet decided to pick one with me for some reason. Personally, I'm sick of it myself becasue I really don't have a problem with queing to get a handshake or politely asking Morrissey for a hug. I don't approve of the gang mentality of some sycophantic fans or the need to brag about making a connection to Morrissey. It objectifies him, makes him a conquest, something I just don't feel comfortable supprting. In all honesty, I think Scarlet walks a fine line between an adoring fan and someone in need of intervention herself. So my beef is not so much with Scarlet herself, but the entire system that supports "owning" a piece of Morrissey, a scrap of shirt, that he took a gift, that he signed your arm. It all strikes me as being very selfish. I read reports not of his performance or the importance of the order of his setlist, but plain old physical details, Morrissey as object. Bleh.
