Ezra sends the link to the article / interview at The Black Table with Jose Maldonado of the cover band Sweet And Tender Hooligans:
November Spawned A Mexican. --Rachel Elder 07.16.03 What do you think the Mexicans in L.A. identify with most about Morrissey or the Smiths? I guess I'd say that growing up Irish in Northern England isn't much different from growing up Mexican in Southern California. Maybe that's how we identify with him as a person. All I can say is that I got into his music because it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard. He could have been from Uganda for all I cared. I just knew I liked it.

Yeah, whatever.
P.s. Yeah, Jose is so deranged. Sure. That's why in every interview he gives, he constantly reiterates that what he does is for fun, he doesn't make any money off of it, and he has immense respect for Morrissey's music.

Obviously this leaves out songs like "What She Said," but even those sort of songs are filled with Morrissey's own anger and frustration, I think.
Anyway, I liked your post. I think people who harp on about the humor in Morrissey's music are actually a little bit uncomfortable with the depth of emotion in the songs. Sure, there's humor and wit, but I would think that passion and longing are the predominant emotions.
And I think it's great that Morrissey has a Mexican fanbase.

Er, what in the bloody fuck are you on about? Growing up Irish in Northern England is so different from growing up el Mexicano Taco in fucking America that you couldn't even POSSIBLY be using even a FIFTH of the meagre 10% of your brain if you pompously dare to make such a idiotic comparison. You fool. Go trip over your own feet and accidentally blacken an eye and knock out a few teeth; you're already doing that to yourself verbally quite competently.
