There is a pretty funny with Morrissey in the new 'Word' magazine.

"So, did you hear Tatu's version of 'How Soon is Now?'"
"Yes it's wonderful - but I don't know anything about them..."
"They're Russian teenage lesbians."
"Aren't we all?"

He's lost the hair and the songwriting genius..... but not the wit!

Which issue of "Word" is this? The only one I have seen so far had Elvis Costello on the cover.

Nice Tatu quote, but he was definitely setting himself up for a pre-prepared line there.

Morrissey stole that "Aren't we all?" line from ME, the bastard!

It's the one after the Costello one, Nicole. I think someone posted international ordering details on www.morrissey-solo.com (which looks like being sued by Morrissey!). It's a very good article by Andrew Harrison.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

(PS: in the article, Morrissey claims to be "dotting the i's" on a deal with Sanctuary records, which will also give him his own vanity label to sign acts/re-release old stuff.)

Jerry -
please tell all about Morrissey Solo com - what's happening? I used to post on that site, but the people who post there are fucking horrible..... really vile.

― russ t, Wednesday, 14 May 2003 08:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone started a rumour claiming that M hadn't paid his tour crew, and the guy who runs the site started a thread, and several people claiming to be roadies claimed not to have been paid ever. And then M's lawyers sent the webmaster a cease and desist notice, but I don't think the webmaster has ceased or desisted. It's all v. silly.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 08:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks Jerry.

The Morrissey-solo debacle is very silly and a bit of a shame.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 12:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, quite. I know people who know David the webmaster reasonably well and hope to find out some more info...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

How unwise is Morrissey to have taken this course of action....? I read the lawyer letter to David - outrageous.
