I don't know how you plan to spend your summer, but I do know that Morrissey plans to spend his on an elaborate tour of the States.

As of today, Morrissey's people have announced, and thus, Pitchfork Media has reported on, the first leg of the tour, which includes a May 12 stop at Milwaukee's Riverside Theater. Kristeen Young is slated to open the show.

At press time, The Riverside Theater's Web site had no listing of the show, but stay tuned to OMC for ticket information.

 

Julie Lawrence Special to OnMilwaukee.com

OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.

As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
