Just Postponed (or Cancelled)
Morrissey made it three shows into his tour before cancelling a show! Why do people like this bum again?

His fragility is part of his appeal.
Well he has written some really great songs. Any Morrissey fan knows there's a 50/50 chance you will see him and to not get too excited until he's actually on stage. I think I'm up to 4 cancelled shows. And every time I see there's a new entry on this thread, I think it's the anthem show…
He better not cancel Anthem
Never been to a great Morrissey concert. If you can't be a great frontman, you need to play an instrument.

I was at Duffy's getting a beer before the show and saw the cancellation tweet. I walked over and the box office person told me right before the opener was to go on, Ariel Pink cancelled due to a sore throat.

I actually didn't and the last show he played was SF. I actually would have seen him this time!
Oh geez
Louis CK is possibly the least-surprising celebrity to get caught up in one of these things. You can just look at the guy and know he's a dirt grub.
I just dont get the fun of whipping it out and jerkin off in front of women…did not realize it was a thing

yeah, it's not assault… but fuck if that is not freaking disgusting and disturbing
If I were a woman and a guy did that…I would just kick him in the fucking dick and leave
I agree with Julian, totally not unexpected from him, did think he was a little better of a human being, but alas that's half his shtick
he was really on a roll the last few years…end of that
I don't think the men caught up in some of this are going to recover and be forgiven
time to break out the pussy hats again

very upsetting to hear about L.CK. He seemed so self aware of his own grossness, weirdness, and of the struggles women face, and yet still did this and thought it would just be buried or excused because of his fame?
As to public wanking being a thing, it is a longstanding awful thing on the subways in NYC and even on DC Metro.
If a homely middle aged woman pulled down her pants and started masturbating in front of me with no threat of touching me back when i was a sexy young thing, I'da probably been ok with it.

what if she was your boss or someone that had something to do with your career
I think you would have been disgusted by this and reported her right away
when i was a sexy young thing

it absolutely is assault. sexual assault doesn't need to be physical.

but you're not a woman… men are often bigger/heavier/stronger, so resorting to violence is rarely an option. but as the above article points out, the creep depends on his victims being scared, humiliated, etc. if the victim manages to stand up to the creep, he loses all power.
i can imagine that a woman in that situation is thinking "i'm about to be raped." she has no idea what will happen next. what a horrible, horrible situation to be put in.

if there is no power dynamic, then maybe. but what is that was the dean of your school? your boss, at annual evaluation time?
what if it was a man, bigger and stronger than you, who has power over you, who does this to you? you can't run and tell on him, he's respected and people will believe him vs. you in a "he said, he said" situation. you're stuck. now what? the best you can probably do is run away, say nothing, and hope the memory of that scarring powerlessness doesn't haunt you forever.

Ok, I'm walking back on this statement
I agree with the power thing, but I feel the line is bigger when you physically touch/rape someone
but it's just a different shade of sexual assault and until I reread this I didn't think of it that way
I still think that a woman should kick him in the dick, talk about poor defensive position
also have you seen this…NYtimes is doing a running list of men who are getting outed in the last month
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/10/us/men-accused-sexual-misconduct-weinstein.html
Here is a list of such cases that have been brought to public attention since the Weinstein scandal broke on Oct. 5. We’ll update this list periodically as we get new information.
also just heard that Takei is now getting caught up in this
if this had only happened this time last year….we might have had Hil as the commander in cheif

Well yeah, that's different.
