It's true. I sent her $15. & never received my 3 'zines. And that's not jealousy. If she wants to go crazy and stalk Morrissey, that's her thing. But all I know is I sent her $15. and she flew off with it. (a lot of money back then to me, since I was a student). I wrote to her Brookline address twice, and figured she had died. Then I found out she was touring galore.
