"First Of The Gang To Die" enters at #6 in the official UK singles chart.
--- Andisheh writes: Another top ten for Morrissey. According to the fine folks at Top of the Tops, First of the Gang To Die is in at #6. Note that Mr. Morrissey is sharing space in the top 20 this week with Elvis. Has Morrissey ever been in the charts with the star of a Smiths/Morrissey sleeve before?

Footage from the Move Music Festival was aired tonight on ITV1 and closed with Morrissey performing Everyday Is Like Sunday and Irish Blood, English Heart. Although only two tracks were shown, Moz was the only one to get more than one song broadcast and he was built up as the programme's main event, being described as a 'legend'. Quite well shot - it certainly captured the crowd's enthusiasm - but the sound was a bit dodgy, which was true of all the acts shown. It also captured him saying 'Thankyou Manchester... so much to answer for!' which I hadn't seen reported.

Jeremy Clarkson's column for the Sunday Times today is entirely inspired by Morrissey's decision to have The New York Dolls play at Meltdown this year. Clarkson describes having the original Dolls line-up play as pretty miraculous given that most of those who have passed through the ranks of The Dolls have now passed away. He describes being a NY Doll as 'probably one of the Top 10 Most Dangerous Jobs In The World' given the high fatality rate. The article then goes on to describe how most of the greatest Rock Stars passed away early in life.....everyone from Sid Vicious to Karen Carpenter. It's ironic that Clarkson should use Morrissey as the basis of his article given that those in the British press who disliked 'You Are The Quarry' compared Morrissey's lyrics to 'Olde Englande' rants.
