Frail grumpy pop legend Morrissey has, once again, canceled a slew of concerts because of illness. This time, because of a respiratory infection contracted by, his representatives claim, opening act Kristeen Young (which she adamantly refutes, by the way), fans will once again be deprived of an evening of intractable surly emotionalism and middle-aged man chest-baring.
But...what if Morrissey stuck to the ol' showbiz adage "the show must go on?" Hey, it could happen, and if it ever did, I've made up a setlist for him, adjusted to reflect his current tragic circumstances. Sniff sniff, cough cough!

2. Mouthbreather Strikes Again
3. Really, Still Ill
4. That Sneeze Isn't Funny Anymore
