Kristeenyoung, the lucky musical act who has been supporting Morrissey on his current U.S. tour, have been dismissed -- much to the chagrin of the band's namesake, who claims to "love Morrissey with all of my heart, soul, body, spirit, to the core of my existence" on her MySpace page.The decision stems from a comment made by Young at the first of five nights of Morrissey's residency at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York last week. According to a Morrissey fan site, when fans started calling for Morrissey during her set, she replied, "Morrissey gives good head, I mean, er, cunnilingus ..."
While the former Smiths frontman is known for his politics -- he was investigated last year after saying that his "view is that neither England or America are democratic societies" -- and advocacy of freedom of expression, he has also been very protective of his sexuality, which Young's unfortunate statement directly targeted.
Girl In a Coma, who are named after a Smtihs song 'Girlfriend in a Coma,' will play warm-up at the singer's remaining dates.

Maybe he does? Moz iz the greatest. Kristeen Young was a great opener this year, i tend to think there is more to this story.

I'm glad! She was horrible the last 2 times I've seen Morrissey.Wish he would have gotten rid of her sooner!

I LOVE the Smith music, but their lyrics are the stupidist I've ever heard, "Girlfriend in a coma", and, "How soon is now", and, "Stop me if you think you heard this one before". Thats not clever, its simply stupid! My opinion!!!
