Morrissey Ends Show After Being Hit By Plastic Bottle. What Would Your Favorite Artist Do?

Here's the setlist from Saturday night's Morissey show in Liverpool:

This Charming Man, Black Cloud>bonk>splash>show's over.

Saturday night Morrissey was hit in the head with what appears to be a plastic water bottle.

Now, I don't think it's cool to throw anything at performers, but I have to think Morrissey came up really small here. Sure, have security remove the person who did it, even chastise them publicly as they are escorted out. I know he's has been sick lately, but punish all the other fans? Weak.

I just watched Morrissey get hit in the head like 10 times in a row, and let me tell you... it's kinda funny. First of all, it really does seem to be plastic. It bounces like a plastic bottle and Moz has to figure out what's going on. If it were a glass bottle, he'd be like, "Ow! Fuck! I just got hit by a glass bottle."

Like I said, I'm not condoning the action and I understand why he was upset. But be a pro man, hell, remember rock 'n' roll from your youth a bit. One of my favorite bands has glow sticks hit them regularly, sometimes they improvise with them. The intent behind the actions is different, but it's just a show, and the show must go on.

Am I wrong? What do you think your favorite performers might do?
