Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
It seems like the Ruby Room is our homebase for anything Smiths/Morrissey-related -- like that DJ set by Andy Rourke. In this case, it's someone unrelated, by decree of The Pompadour himself.
Kristeen Young, who plays with Green Lady Killers and The Pübes on May 26, was kicked off Morrissey's tour awhile back after she popped off onstage, saying, "Morrissey gives great head, oops, I mean cunnilingus."
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
