We’ve only been doing Stay Cold for a few weeks, and somehow we already have two posts about Jimmy Kimmel. Who would have guessed? Anyway, chances are most of you missed his show this past Friday with Morrissey as musical guest. But lucky for you, some of us are Morrissey-obsessed weirdos with nothing better to do on a Friday night than sit around the house until 1 a.m. waiting for a British man to sing songs on television.

We caught a glimpse of what was Morrissey’s fourth concert of the year and the first performance of his massive 2007 U.S. tour, which kicks off officially this Friday in Stockton, Calif. He opened with “I Just Want to See the Boy Happy” from last year’s  Ringleader of the Tormentors. Unfortunately, this was the only song of the “mini-concert” that aired, though he also played recent hits like “You Have Killed Me” and “First of the Gang to Die,” early classic “Disappointed,” and a brand new song called “All You Need is Me.” And according to fans who were in the audience, it was a killer show, albeit a short one.

The East Coast leg of Morrissey’s American tour starts in late June, with area performances at Madison Square Garden, the PNC Bank Arts Center, Philadelphia’s Mann Center, and the Borgata in Atlantic City. Stay Cold will be repping at least seven of these shows, making this blogger the mayor of Debt City. I’ll send you my Visa bill Moz!

P.S. The Smiths are allegedly being inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame next year!
