Morrissey leaves concert after getting drink tossed at him
Lots of Morrissey drama popping up as of late. The latest is that he was performing only his 2nd song in Liverpool, UK when some ass clown threw his glass bottle at Morrissey.

Chuck Ragan’s latest disc may be coming out a few lifetimes after the gold rush of the mid-nineteenth century, however there’s a timeless quality to the album that embodies the hope and hard work that helped define that period in the American consciousness. That has a lot to do with the fact that there’s nothing preconceived about Gold Country. It’s simply the sound of a talented songwriter doing what his kind has been doing for centuries: playing simple songs alongside a close group of friends not for hope of financial gains, but because he literally has no other choice.
