New Year, new tour

With last night’s appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, Morrissey resumes his tour here in the U.S. with shows in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania this month eventually making his way to Los Angeles on March 1st at the Staples Center.

January 8th marks birthdays for Elvis Presley, Shirley Bassey, and of course David Bowie. The Thin White Duke rang in his 66th year with a brand new single from his forthcoming album. This week, I’ll play you both Morrissey covering Bowie and vice versa.

3 quiz questions. No prize other than the satisfaction of knowing that you answered correctly FIRST. Join in the fun, won’t you?

Question #1 When Morrissey played his first Los Angeles show as a solo artist at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, he was joined by David Bowie himself during his encore. What was the song? (#humblebrag I was at this show).

Question #2 What song did Morrissey perform on the Late Show with David Letterman on his most recent prior appearance?
