Ted Leo @ The Roxy, Boston, MA - Dec 1, 2007 (CRED)

Yo - so listen - the Webster Hall show originally scheduled for Wednesday night has been moved to the Music Hall of Williamsburg - so it'll be two nights there: Tuesday and Wednesday. I apologize if this screws anything up for anyone, but you should've seen the behind the scenes "discussions" about it - it wound up being the only way we could make it work and still be able to honor the tickets that were already sold for Webster.
So once again - we're very sorry to have to do this, but Wednesday's show has been moved to the Music Hall of Williamsburg. [Ted]

This is the fourth post to touch on the subject now, and this is allegedly the true story - a message sent out by Kristeen Young:

My band, KRISTEENYOUNG, have been asked to leave the Morrissey tour.

Although I have been advised not to respond or issue a statement, my feelings are that I must. We have been asked to leave because of something I said on stage at The Hammerstein Ballroom, in New York City, this past Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the statement has been perceived as being profane (when, actually, one of the two words in question is a scientific term found in junior high, health class text books, and the other word, I feel most would agree, is lightweight slang) or defamatory. What I said was part of a thread of stage statements I made throughout our set. They were metaphorical and overstated to make an artistic point. The "offending" statement, in particular, was in no way a literal statement, and was very much in keeping with the tone of my writing in general. I reach for beauty and intelligence in my lyrics, but try to retain a bit of the everyday in them. Maybe the statement was a bit TOO everyday. Maybe I misjudged… but I meant no harm. I love Morrissey with all of my heart, soul, body, spirit, to the core of my existence and always will. These will be the only words I will ever write or speak on the subject ever again. Please don't ask for an interview or e-mail me with questions. Thanks to those who understand and who are brave enough to say so.
