November spawned a monster surprise

Wichita Falls, Texas is a growing place, it's true, but it was still something of a surprise to discover that Morrissey is going to play the city.

To judge by the listings for the Wichita Falls multi-purpose centre, they can't quite believe he's coming, either:

Perhaps more surprising is that Morrissey is so happy to play a venue which makes so much of its income from gun and knife shows and, indeed, a few days earlier is hosting a pig sale. Still, I'm sure he'll make his tokenistic fuss about not serving hotdogs in the venue on the night.
