    Morrissey has had a banner year in terms of show controversy and that's one of the reasons we at The Scenestar love him so much! From his repulsion to the stench of meat in the air at Coachella, to collapsing at his Swindon show, to canceling a show in Liverpool due to getting hit with a bottle and finally kicking a fan out of a show in Hamburg, Germany, it was hard for Morrissey to stay out of the news in 2009. Now Morrissey has hit American shores and who knows what will happen when he plays here in Southern California in support of Swords. That's why we at The Scenestar are giving you the chance to see if anything crazy happens when Morrissey plays live at our favorite new venue of 2009, the Fox Theater in Pomona, next Monday, December 7th!
