“I was driving my car/ I crashed and broke my spine/ So yes, there are things worse in life than/ never being someone’s sweetie,” sings Morrissey in his 2008 single “That’s How People Grow Up.” The British singer continues to deliver the same indulgent, lovelorn lyrics from his days with The Smiths in the early ’80s. He’s been the love-sicks’ go-to salve during the past three decades. So it’s fitting that Dangerfun is throwing Hated for Loving: A Smiths/Morrissey Tribute at Churchill’s the day after Valentine’s.
Bands State Of, Club of Rome, Ordinary Boys (featuring members of Astari Nite, Rebel, Fuck Yeah!), and Girlfriend in a Coma (with members of Armada!, Low Visibility, and Ana De Lima) will cover Moz classics such as “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” and deep cuts like “You’re the One for Me, Fatty” as you tearfully recall the chubster that got away.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $18,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
