Morrissey has a huge, dedicated following among Mexicans, and that devotion is very evident on the Facebook page urging him to convert his concert into a free show following Manu Chao's example:
Beloved Morrissey, please take a stand for immigrants!Signing it "Forever, your adoring MOZ fans," the group pulled from Morrissey's catalog for persuasion, saying that "Irish Blood, English Heart" captures the everyday experience of immigrants in Arizona and throughout the United States.How we love you, let us count the ways! We will travel cross country to see you perform, we name our first child after you...Your music is the soundtrack of our lives. We flip our imaginary mics in that MOZ fashion. We've followed you for as long as we can remember...
The Smiths-inspired Texas trio Girl In a Coma played a free benefit show in the state, and they captured the experience in their new song "Hope," off the recently released Exits and All the Rest. Will Morrissey follow in their footsteps, providing his musical services free of charge, all in the name of immigrants?
