This is a bit off topic, but the big news in the world of soccer blogs (and Morrissey blogs) this evening is that English pop melancholist Morrissey was on the sidelines at Thursday night’s Chivas USA-LA Galaxy superclassico (Chivas won 3-0) at the Home Depot Center, wearing a (red and white) Chivas jersey.

The shares are not normally eligible to receive dividends, so Apple’s decision is a perk for its employees.

I worry whether he will be able to maintain the posture of tormented existential angst for which he is so justifiably beloved if his team WINS. What sort of catchy pop tunes will that inspire? It troubles a girl, indeed it does. Actually, this could kill MLS. THAT might inspire a good, dark pop song.

When Lauper shows up on the sidelines at Rice-Eccles Stadium, clad in a Real Salt Lake jersey and cheering on Kyle Beckerman (and his dubious dreadlocks), the NFL, NBA and MLB might as well just close up shop.
