Thanks for the link...that was a nice article!

However, the critic in me saw this:
Gejo Canovas's devotion has never wavered. At 40, he's as passionate about Morrissey as he was when he first discovered The Smiths as a teenager. Like his idol, he is a vegetarian, a staunch republican and is the proud owner of a scrupulously sculpted, oversized quiff.

WTF? I thought Morrissey was a democrat!!!

Article on Morrissey in yesterday's Independent

In the magazine - a weird, kind of pointless feature with predictable bio and tagline (These Charming Men)

Written by Elisabeth Blanchet who is clearly a fan, it is about a bunch of characters who impersonate Morrissey, either "lookalikes" or in tribute bands. I'm sorry I've no scanner so can't take this any further, but someone out there must have it somewhere.
