I am writing this a few hours after finding out that a Jane Taft, aka 18th pale descendant, a frequent visitor to Morrissey-solo, died as the result of a car accident yesterday. She was two months shy of her twenty first birthday.
She was the best person you could hope to know. Smart, kind, always funny - there aren't enough words to describe how special Jane was. She had many friends here. There are friends that you have on here that you will never meet. This news is for them.
Visitation will be in LI, NY 9/16 - 9/17 – Please email me for more info: [email protected].

They were all at Saturdays' Sex Pistols concert at the Greek". I only joined this site to post this info cause no one had, I was shocked. Anywayz if I hear anything I'll keep ya posted.---
Link to LA Weekly mention posted by Weiß on the general discussion board.
Excerpt:
"The Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten announced humbly, 'The queen is dead - all hail the king,' referring of course to himself, in front of a crowd that included onetime dead-queen-documenter Morrissey."

jypu writes: Just got the BRILLIANT new album by Casiotone For The Painfully Alone called "Twinkle Echo" and it contains a song about a Smiths fan (Owen of Casiotone is a fan himself). The song is called "Toby, Take A Bow" and contains more Smiths references than you can shake a stick at. Cannot recommend this album highly enough. Here are the lyrics:
"Toby, Take A Bow"
I've never seen you so awful
I found you at the bottom of a Russian novel
Gold medal and a crown
A cardigan and a frown
All maladjusted and clever
The greatest Smiths fan ever
Your picture in the paper and the captions shout,
"There is a boy and he never goes out"
That same song on repeat
You haven't left the house in weeks
Won't even come out for dinner
Toby Grace, world record winner
I guess you thought it would make you feel better somehow
But heaven knows you're miserable now
Heaven knows you're miserable now
Heaven knows you're miserable now
So Toby, take a bow.

David Bricknell writes: In Issue #29 of Australian DVD magazine "Region 4" Tony Wilson is interviewed to coincide with the Oz double-disc release of "24 Hour Party People" on DVD. When asked "Did you really pass on signing The Smiths?", he replies: "Yes, Morrissey was part of the movie but never made it past the cutting room. There are four different versions of why Factory never signed The Smiths. My version was Factory had been a brilliant label for two or three years and if you're the only label in the world that doesn't promote it's great promotion. Suddenly that idealism became a dinosaur and I couldn't shift a record. So I was very depressed and although I went to the second ever Smiths gig and I was just bowled over, having decided that Morrissey would never make a rock star when he told me in his bedroom he was going to be a rockstar about a year earlier there was no way I was going to saddle The Smiths with my, at that point, non-working label. In terms of history, if The Smiths hadn't have gone to Rough Trade, British independent music would have died because Rough Trade would have gone bankrupt. Mr Morrissey had a great talent and was a truly horrible human being who treated others very badly and I'm over the moon that I never had to work with him."---

alainsane writes: Whilst giving an interview to FHM magazine in support of the new R.E.M. greatest hits album, Michael Stipe fields a familiar question about Morrissey.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Did you steal Morrissey's stage moves?
Just one--reaching out across the crowd--not my whole act. And had I been at a Neil Diamond concert, I would've seen the same move. It was 1985, I think, and I saw Morrissey do it and I thought it was effective. So I copied it.
Any moves backfire on you?
I lost my pants once and wasn't wearing any underwear. I got a standing ovation. I don't remember where that was. I think I've blocked it out.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Why Stipe was giving an interview to FHM and why the interviewer brought up Morrissey and why I was reading FHM are unknowns. ;)---

H-Man writes: The new re-release of David Bowie´s "Black Tie White Noise", the album which contains the cover version of "I Know It´s Gonna Happen Someday", includes a bonus DVD with an interview from 1993 in which Bowie explains why he recorded that song.
Bowie: "I always thought of the English singer/songwriter Morrissey as a sort of a asexual Alan Bennett, the British playwright, because of his attention to detail. He will take a small subject matter and make a very grandeur statement of it. His last album, "Your Arsenal", was produced, ironically, by Mick Ronson (Ronson played in Bowie´s band in his Ziggy Stardust-Years). Mick sent me a copy of the tape and I couldn´t but notice that one of the songs on the album, "I Know It´s Gonna Happen Someday", was kind of a parody of one of my earlier songs, "Rock´n Roll Suicide". And so I sort of thought it would be fun to take that song and do it the way I would have done it. 1964ish."
Bowies words are followed by a filmed studio performance of him singing that very song.

rose black writes: Hello
On the BBC's new adaptations of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (13/9/03, 9pm, BBC1 I think), an elderly balding man walked into a hairdressers and requested a Morrissey quiff. The same man was later featured in the background singing a kareoke version of "This Charming Man". Not very well.
Heck, it made me laugh.
