Ridiculously shy. He didn't say much to me other than that he was at our first London show and he has all my records." "In interviews, he kept telling everyone I was his favourite artist and he wanted to steal ideas from me. So near the end of his performances he'd put on a shirt with Mexico on it and he'd change the lyrics of a song and sing something about being a Mexican." "He asked me to open for him in the UK, but I couldn't do it because dates conflicted with my Christmas shows." </blockquote> Also from [http://www.passionsjustlikemine.com/influence-music.htm El Vez - Morrissey Under The Influence: music] - Passions Just Like Mine: <blockquote> * In an internet chat on KROQ.com in 1999, Morrissey said "I love El Vez. I wanted him to come to England and to Europe. He's influenced me greatly." * In an interview published in The Face in 1999, Morrissey answered the question "Your forthcoming UK tour has a Mexican theme. Why?" with the answer "Because I saw El Vez recently and I'd like to have a go at stealing all his ideas." </blockquote> ==Image Gallery== <gallery> File:EV+Morrissey.jpg | The first time they met [https://www.elvez.net/photos.htm elvez.net photos] </gallery>
