Not really.

Someone met her and asked about Morrissey posted here that she wasn't.
When Corntney was having lunch with Morrissey and Michael Stipe, Chuck Norris came, she was transfixed to Norris.

You can read it from a thread Morrissey and Courtney Love.

You are simply befuddled as how to deal with the devastating truth that Chuck Norris was generous enough to share the same air with Morrissey. Had Morrissey not been allowed to stay there would have been no "comeback / relaunching of Morrissey's career."

Anyway, Courtney Love left a message on Morrissey's MySpace page several months ago. It just said "XOXO" (Aug. 3, page 25 if you care to look). I thought that was kinda funny. Like she was drunk MySpacing all her famous friends or something.

Walter Schreifels (from Gorilla Biscuits, played both "Ask" & "How Soon Is Now?" live during his single tour 2007)

Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson hates Morrissey. See Marilyn Manson's autobiography for more details!

My additions:

Linda McCartney - according to husband, Paul, she was a big Morrissey fan.
Gerard Way - frontman of My Chemical Romance. He often mentions Morrissey as one his idols during interviews, and he covered (very badly - although I am a fan of his music in general) Jack the Ripper.
Irvine Welsh - numerous Morrissey references in Trainspotting.
Grant Morrison - one of the most prolific and respected comic book writers in the world. A diehard fan of Morrissey, he used to make sure to include a Morrissey reference in nearly every comic he wrote back in the '80s.

Unsure:
Eminem - I was only told this by somebody else, so I have no idea how accurate it is, but apparently he listed Morrissey as an inspiration on his official website once upon a time.
Alan Moore - probably the world's most highly respected comic book writer (most well known for Watchmen and V For Vendetta). I think I've seen some Morrissey references in a comic of his before. What I can say for sure however, is that he was playing How Soon is Now? in the background during a scene from a documentary about him.


How about a list of celebrities that have openly expressed their dislike of Morrissey? On the top of my head, I can think of:

Marilyn Manson
Manic Street Preachers - or just one or two vocal members of the band.
Robert Smith - frontman of The Cure.
The Rascals


Unsure:
Björk - made a somewhat unflattering comment about him in an interview a while back.
Dave Grohl - according to somebody on this very website (which means that the authenticity of the statement is completely up in the air), he said that he "fucking hates" Morrissey (or words to that extent).

what did manson say in his autobiography about moz?

all i remember is some list about being gay that included refernces to morrissey. i'm pretty sure it was intended to be tongue in cheek though. if there's anything else in there i must've forgotten about it.\

edit: found the list!

My philosophy about sexuality is that I don't have a problem with anything anyone does in any way. All I ask is that you know the rules. I've sucked the dicks of several men, which a lot of straight guys won't admit to having done or wanting to do. But just like kissing a girl can't get her pregnant, sucking a guy's dick doesn't make you gay (Unless you break rule #3). It's not that i'm against being gay - I just want to clarify what makes you gay. Please note this list only pertains to guys: All women are by nature lesbians. So let's get things straight (no pun intended) - if you meet any of the qualifications below, you are gay.

1.IF YOU GET SOMEONE ELSE'S SPERM ON YOU.
2.IF YOU'VE EVER OWNED A SMITHS ALBUM.
3.IF YOU GET HARD WHILE SUCKING ANOTHER GUY'S DICK. IF YOU DON'T, YOU'RE STRAIGHT - UNLESS HE GETS SPERM ON YOU.
4.IF MICHAEL STIPE IS IN THE ROOM WITH YOU AND YOU'RE HAVING SEX WITH A WOMAN, YOU'RE BISEXUAL.
5.IF YOU'RE AT A GAY BAR, YOU'RE NOT GAY. BUT IF YOU'RE AT A STRAIGHT BAR AND YOU TALK TO ANOTHER GUY LONGER THAN YOU TALK TO A GIRL, YOU'RE GAY.
6.IF YOU TAP YOUR FEET TO A SMITHS SONG.
7.IF YOU DISCUSS ART FOR MORE THAN 45 MINUTES.
8.IF YOU'VE EVER WORN A BERET.
9.IF YOU KISS A GUY AND HE HAS A HARD-ON, YOU'RE NOT GAY UNLESS YOU HAVE A HARD-ON TOO.
10.IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF SEX - WITH A MALE OR A FEMALE - TO THE SMITHS, YOU'RE GAY.
11.IF YOUR ONLY PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO GET GIRLS PREGNANT SO THEY CAN HAVE MORE GIRLS TO HAVE LESBIAN SEX TOGETHER.
12.IF YOU JACK OFF AND GET CUM ON YOURSELF.
13.IF YOU GET A BONER WATCHING GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.
14.IF YOU DON'T GET A BONER WATCHING BEWITCHED.
15.IF THERE'S A SMITHS SONG ON IN A BAR AND YOU'RE IN THE BATHROOM WITH YOUR DICK IN YOUR HAND.
16.IF YOUR NAME IS RICHARD AND YOU GO BY DICK.
17.IF YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH ANYONE NAMED DICK.
18.IF YOU DON'T CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE, YOU'RE ONLY USING HER AS A PROP TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK YOU'RE NOT GAY.
19.IF YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH A MODEL.
20.IF YOU FUCK A GIRL WHO LIKES THE SMITHS.
21.IF YOU DON'T EAT MEAT BECAUSE THE SMITHS ALBUM MEAT IS MURDER HAD AN IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE.
22.IF YOU DO ANYTHING SPIRITUAL.
23.IF YOU FUCK A PREGNANT WOMAN AND SHE'S CARRYING A BOY, YOU'RE GAY. IF YOU GET SPERM ON THE AMNIOTIC SAC, THE BABY WILL GROW UP TO BE GAY TOO.
24.IF YOU'VE EVER HAD A HAIRCUT LIKE MORRISSEY.
25.IF YOU'VE EVER HAS A HAIRCUT WHILE A MORRISSEY OR SMITHS ALBUM WAS PLAYING IN THE ROOM.
26.IF YOU'VE EVER TALKED ABOUT OF OWNED A CRYSTAL - ESPECIALLY IF IT'S CRYSTAL METH.
27.IF YOU'VE EVER PUT BAND AIDS ON YOUR NIPPLES AS A FASHION STATEMENT.
28.IF YOU'VE EVER SPENT MORE THAN A WEEK ON SOUTH BEACH.
29.IF YOU'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT TITS RIGHT NOW.
30.IF YOU STILL LIKED JUDAS PRIEST AFTER YOU HEARD THE RUMOUR THAT ROB HALFORD WAS GAY.
31.IF YOU GET A HARD-ON WHILE TAKING A SHIT.
32.IF YOU KNOW WHAT SPERM TASTES LIKE (ESPECIALLY IF IT'S YOUR OWN).
33.IF YOU KISS A GIRL WITH TONGUE AFTER SHE'S SWALLOWED YOUR CUM.
34.IF YOU GET HARD WHILE READING THIS.
35.IF YOU KNOW THE NAMES OF ANYONE WHO'S EVER BEEN IN THE SMITHS BESIDES MORRISSEY OR JOHNNY MARR.
36.IF YOU'RE A MALE MODEL
37.IF YOU GET CHOKED UP LISTENING TO BOYS DON'T CRY BY THE CURE.
38.IF YOU'RE A CLOTHING DESIGNER.

RULES I'VE BROKEN:
1, 2, 12 (This probably makes us all gay), 20 (most likely unintentionally), 26, 30, 33, 38 (I design my own clothes).

i guess we're all gay.

Marilyn Manson hates Morrissey. See Marilyn Manson's autobiography for more details!
The list of things that make you gay? That was tongue-in-cheek. :p

Edit: heh, yesitis beat me to it.


How about a list of celebrities that have openly expressed their dislike of Morrissey? On the top of my head, I can think of:
[LIST]
Marilyn Manson


Did he really say he dislikes Morrissey? Could you provide a link or reference?

How about a list of celebrities that have openly expressed their dislike of Morrissey? On the top of my head, I can think of:

Marilyn Manson
Manic Street Preachers - or just one or two vocal members of the band.
Robert Smith - frontman of The Cure.
The Rascals


Unsure:
Björk - made a somewhat unflattering comment about him in an interview a while back.
Dave Grohl - according to somebody on this very website (which means that the authenticity of the statement is completely up in the air), he said that he "fucking hates" Morrissey (or words to that extent).
[/QUOTE]

I think that Nicky and Ritchie from the Manics had a go at Morrissey because of the racism row in the NME. But the Smiths had a massive influence on the Band and Nicky Wire is a big fan. In the song 1985, it contains the lyric....

In 1985, my words they came alive,
friends were made for life,
Morrissey and Marr gave me choice.
In 1985, in 1985.

Nicky Wire has such a Bigmouth, like other people we admire...:)

what did manson say in his autobiography about moz?

all i remember is some list about being gay that included refernces to morrissey. i'm pretty sure it was intended to be tongue in cheek though. if there's anything else in there i must've forgotten about it.\

edit: found the list!

My philosophy about sexuality is that I don't have a problem with anything anyone does in any way. All I ask is that you know the rules. I've sucked the dicks of several men, which a lot of straight guys won't admit to having done or wanting to do. But just like kissing a girl can't get her pregnant, sucking a guy's dick doesn't make you gay (Unless you break rule #3). It's not that i'm against being gay - I just want to clarify what makes you gay. Please note this list only pertains to guys: All women are by nature lesbians. So let's get things straight (no pun intended) - if you meet any of the qualifications below, you are gay.

1.IF YOU GET SOMEONE ELSE'S SPERM ON YOU.
2.IF YOU'VE EVER OWNED A SMITHS ALBUM.
3.IF YOU GET HARD WHILE SUCKING ANOTHER GUY'S DICK. IF YOU DON'T, YOU'RE STRAIGHT - UNLESS HE GETS SPERM ON YOU.
4.IF MICHAEL STIPE IS IN THE ROOM WITH YOU AND YOU'RE HAVING SEX WITH A WOMAN, YOU'RE BISEXUAL.
5.IF YOU'RE AT A GAY BAR, YOU'RE NOT GAY. BUT IF YOU'RE AT A STRAIGHT BAR AND YOU TALK TO ANOTHER GUY LONGER THAN YOU TALK TO A GIRL, YOU'RE GAY.
6.IF YOU TAP YOUR FEET TO A SMITHS SONG.
7.IF YOU DISCUSS ART FOR MORE THAN 45 MINUTES.
8.IF YOU'VE EVER WORN A BERET.
9.IF YOU KISS A GUY AND HE HAS A HARD-ON, YOU'RE NOT GAY UNLESS YOU HAVE A HARD-ON TOO.
10.IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF SEX - WITH A MALE OR A FEMALE - TO THE SMITHS, YOU'RE GAY.
11.IF YOUR ONLY PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO GET GIRLS PREGNANT SO THEY CAN HAVE MORE GIRLS TO HAVE LESBIAN SEX TOGETHER.
12.IF YOU JACK OFF AND GET CUM ON YOURSELF.
13.IF YOU GET A BONER WATCHING GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.
14.IF YOU DON'T GET A BONER WATCHING BEWITCHED.
15.IF THERE'S A SMITHS SONG ON IN A BAR AND YOU'RE IN THE BATHROOM WITH YOUR DICK IN YOUR HAND.
16.IF YOUR NAME IS RICHARD AND YOU GO BY DICK.
17.IF YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH ANYONE NAMED DICK.
18.IF YOU DON'T CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE, YOU'RE ONLY USING HER AS A PROP TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK YOU'RE NOT GAY.
19.IF YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH A MODEL.
20.IF YOU FUCK A GIRL WHO LIKES THE SMITHS.
21.IF YOU DON'T EAT MEAT BECAUSE THE SMITHS ALBUM MEAT IS MURDER HAD AN IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE.
22.IF YOU DO ANYTHING SPIRITUAL.
23.IF YOU FUCK A PREGNANT WOMAN AND SHE'S CARRYING A BOY, YOU'RE GAY. IF YOU GET SPERM ON THE AMNIOTIC SAC, THE BABY WILL GROW UP TO BE GAY TOO.
24.IF YOU'VE EVER HAD A HAIRCUT LIKE MORRISSEY.
25.IF YOU'VE EVER HAS A HAIRCUT WHILE A MORRISSEY OR SMITHS ALBUM WAS PLAYING IN THE ROOM.
26.IF YOU'VE EVER TALKED ABOUT OF OWNED A CRYSTAL - ESPECIALLY IF IT'S CRYSTAL METH.
27.IF YOU'VE EVER PUT BAND AIDS ON YOUR NIPPLES AS A FASHION STATEMENT.
28.IF YOU'VE EVER SPENT MORE THAN A WEEK ON SOUTH BEACH.
29.IF YOU'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT TITS RIGHT NOW.
30.IF YOU STILL LIKED JUDAS PRIEST AFTER YOU HEARD THE RUMOUR THAT ROB HALFORD WAS GAY.
31.IF YOU GET A HARD-ON WHILE TAKING A SHIT.
32.IF YOU KNOW WHAT SPERM TASTES LIKE (ESPECIALLY IF IT'S YOUR OWN).
33.IF YOU KISS A GIRL WITH TONGUE AFTER SHE'S SWALLOWED YOUR CUM.
34.IF YOU GET HARD WHILE READING THIS.
35.IF YOU KNOW THE NAMES OF ANYONE WHO'S EVER BEEN IN THE SMITHS BESIDES MORRISSEY OR JOHNNY MARR.
36.IF YOU'RE A MALE MODEL
37.IF YOU GET CHOKED UP LISTENING TO BOYS DON'T CRY BY THE CURE.
38.IF YOU'RE A CLOTHING DESIGNER.

RULES I'VE BROKEN:
1, 2, 12 (This probably makes us all gay), 20 (most likely unintentionally), 26, 30, 33, 38 (I design my own clothes).

Thanks for correcting me! As a fan of The Cure, the Manics and Marilyn Manson, I'm glad to hear that there's no animosity between them and Morrissey after all (although, as much as it's obvious that his list was tongue in cheek, it still seems to me that Manson dislikes him). Also, I had no idea that Siouxsie dislikes him. I find that news very strange! :confused:

No probs, but you weren't technically wrong in relation to the Manics, so we'll call it clearing up a technicality..:)

something julia riley spotted in one of her true to you fanzines which I scribble up now:
madonna on moz
in an Q magazine around 94:"Im more aware of morrissey in his sexual politics than his music. I`ve listended to some of his records(...) I think he is a brilliant lyricist."

before that moz has vocalized his dislike about madonna, i really was wondering she wasnt bitching back. regardless of her own music she has a good music taste and favours artists who arent already big names, also some of them either join her band (zootwoman), she works with the right producers or she did signed them for her recordlabel.
she has a very reserved and cold aura about her, though.

Michael hutchence (r.i.p.) also in Q around the same time:
Q:" would you snog morrissey for a pound?"
Michael:" of course i would. like a shot . I`d do it for 50 p.
Helena (christensen, model and then girlfriend, also reportely a huge fan)
would be proud of me, She`s mad for morrissey."

also luka bloom who is an irish folk artist declares his love and adoration for morrissey , tht he would like to meet him and said "that moz does a lot for a lot of people"

(Q, december 94 and january 95)

There was an article in the Sunday Times c1994 she wrote about meeting Morrissey (Moz and his then manager, the ubiquituous Murray Chalmers currently working with Lily Allen) who popped round her house on the off chance.

I read it. Back in the day. It featured Moz on the cover of the Sunday Times (Magazine inserted 256 pages within) and thus I was expecting an interview of possible epic proportions featuring two people who may have unwittingly helped in changing cultural preconceptions.
Instead you had Julie's article consisting of a potted rehash of "the Severed Alliance"* and a couple of paragraphs of Julie recommending Moz a book
His reply was along the lines of, " Hmm I know everything, I've got jaundice."
And then Moz and Murray left and Julie drank from the can that Morrissey had sipped his drink from, her husband siad, "Thats how religions start you know, I THINK SHE MHAY HOIVE BIN TAKEN THER PISSE.."

*In fact Johnny Rogan took Julie Burchill (or News International) to court due to the obvious uncredited plagiarism in the whole piece, 2 years prior to the infamous Joyce vs Morrissey and Marr debacle. The irony can't pass anyone by, surely?

Everytime Morrissey was featured in a so-called quality Sunday paper/ music paper in those days the journalist made it their mission to take him down a peg or four.... read the one in the Observer 1992, "no sex please, I'm Morrissey." Proper hatchet job..
Six months prior was the NME thing which at the time made last year's outburst seem like an arrest in Aldershot

Jake was very angry about the article..... and thats true too

Well, what you do doesn't necessarily have to be as good as what you like to hear, that's why there are musical geniuses and bland musicians. Many bands today have The Smiths as references and some of us just which they'd fade away. It's life...

He says in this month's FourFourTwo, which has an exclusive interview, "I liked The Smiths before I moved to Manchester. Morrissey, I liked the things he did and the way he did them. Very much. A lot of people in France liked him.".

and here's a photo of Moz in a Cantona t-shirt, so the affection is obviously mutual,

March 31, 2009, 12:45 AM
what did manson say in his autobiography about moz?

all i remember is some list about being gay that included refernces to morrissey. i'm pretty sure it was intended to be tongue in cheek though. if there's anything else in there i must've forgotten about it.\

edit: found the list!

My philosophy about sexuality is that I don't have a problem with anything anyone does in any way. All I ask is that you know the rules. I've sucked the dicks of several men, which a lot of straight guys won't admit to having done or wanting to do. But just like kissing a girl can't get her pregnant, sucking a guy's dick doesn't make you gay (Unless you break rule #3). It's not that i'm against being gay - I just want to clarify what makes you gay. Please note this list only pertains to guys: All women are by nature lesbians. So let's get things straight (no pun intended) - if you meet any of the qualifications below, you are gay.

1.IF YOU GET SOMEONE ELSE'S SPERM ON YOU.
2.IF YOU'VE EVER OWNED A SMITHS ALBUM.
3.IF YOU GET HARD WHILE SUCKING ANOTHER GUY'S DICK. IF YOU DON'T, YOU'RE STRAIGHT - UNLESS HE GETS SPERM ON YOU.
4.IF MICHAEL STIPE IS IN THE ROOM WITH YOU AND YOU'RE HAVING SEX WITH A WOMAN, YOU'RE BISEXUAL.
5.IF YOU'RE AT A GAY BAR, YOU'RE NOT GAY. BUT IF YOU'RE AT A STRAIGHT BAR AND YOU TALK TO ANOTHER GUY LONGER THAN YOU TALK TO A GIRL, YOU'RE GAY.
6.IF YOU TAP YOUR FEET TO A SMITHS SONG.
7.IF YOU DISCUSS ART FOR MORE THAN 45 MINUTES.
8.IF YOU'VE EVER WORN A BERET.
9.IF YOU KISS A GUY AND HE HAS A HARD-ON, YOU'RE NOT GAY UNLESS YOU HAVE A HARD-ON TOO.
10.IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF SEX - WITH A MALE OR A FEMALE - TO THE SMITHS, YOU'RE GAY.
11.IF YOUR ONLY PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO GET GIRLS PREGNANT SO THEY CAN HAVE MORE GIRLS TO HAVE LESBIAN SEX TOGETHER.
12.IF YOU JACK OFF AND GET CUM ON YOURSELF.
13.IF YOU GET A BONER WATCHING GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.
14.IF YOU DON'T GET A BONER WATCHING BEWITCHED.
15.IF THERE'S A SMITHS SONG ON IN A BAR AND YOU'RE IN THE BATHROOM WITH YOUR DICK IN YOUR HAND.
16.IF YOUR NAME IS RICHARD AND YOU GO BY DICK.
17.IF YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH ANYONE NAMED DICK.
18.IF YOU DON'T CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE, YOU'RE ONLY USING HER AS A PROP TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK YOU'RE NOT GAY.
19.IF YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH A MODEL.
20.IF YOU FUCK A GIRL WHO LIKES THE SMITHS.
21.IF YOU DON'T EAT MEAT BECAUSE THE SMITHS ALBUM MEAT IS MURDER HAD AN IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE.
22.IF YOU DO ANYTHING SPIRITUAL.
23.IF YOU FUCK A PREGNANT WOMAN AND SHE'S CARRYING A BOY, YOU'RE GAY. IF YOU GET SPERM ON THE AMNIOTIC SAC, THE BABY WILL GROW UP TO BE GAY TOO.
24.IF YOU'VE EVER HAD A HAIRCUT LIKE MORRISSEY.
25.IF YOU'VE EVER HAS A HAIRCUT WHILE A MORRISSEY OR SMITHS ALBUM WAS PLAYING IN THE ROOM.
26.IF YOU'VE EVER TALKED ABOUT OF OWNED A CRYSTAL - ESPECIALLY IF IT'S CRYSTAL METH.
27.IF YOU'VE EVER PUT BAND AIDS ON YOUR NIPPLES AS A FASHION STATEMENT.
28.IF YOU'VE EVER SPENT MORE THAN A WEEK ON SOUTH BEACH.
29.IF YOU'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT TITS RIGHT NOW.
30.IF YOU STILL LIKED JUDAS PRIEST AFTER YOU HEARD THE RUMOUR THAT ROB HALFORD WAS GAY.
31.IF YOU GET A HARD-ON WHILE TAKING A SHIT.
32.IF YOU KNOW WHAT SPERM TASTES LIKE (ESPECIALLY IF IT'S YOUR OWN).
33.IF YOU KISS A GIRL WITH TONGUE AFTER SHE'S SWALLOWED YOUR CUM.
34.IF YOU GET HARD WHILE READING THIS.
35.IF YOU KNOW THE NAMES OF ANYONE WHO'S EVER BEEN IN THE SMITHS BESIDES MORRISSEY OR JOHNNY MARR.
36.IF YOU'RE A MALE MODEL
37.IF YOU GET CHOKED UP LISTENING TO BOYS DON'T CRY BY THE CURE.
38.IF YOU'RE A CLOTHING DESIGNER.

RULES I'VE BROKEN:
1, 2, 12 (This probably makes us all gay), 20 (most likely unintentionally), 26, 30, 33, 38 (I design my own clothes).

i guess we're all gay.


Especially us chicks who don't even get the benefit of a list...we just are:crazy:

This was great. A few additions/corrections:
"One Hand Loose" by Charlie feathers in addition to being included on the Moz influence CD was played at intermission on the 1992 Your Arsenal tour
"Sweet Little Sheila" attributed to Buddy Holly was actually "Sheila" by Tommy Roe
"Rockin' in the Cemetery" attributed to the Planet Rockers was actually by Ronnie Dawson (both the Planet Rockers "There'll be no more crying the blues" and Ronnie's "Rockin in the cemetery" came from Boz Boorer's "Twenty Blasters From Blighty" CD that he had recently ((1991)) given Moz)

There was a bunch of arguing online among the Twilight crowd regarding whether or not he really was at Coachella. Apparently the next movie in the Twilight series is being filmed in Vancouver and he was of course supposed to be there. There were people saying we have pics of him in Vancouver, he couldn't possibly be at Coachella. Him being a celeb, I'm sure if he wanted to go he could have found a way. His character was hardly in the second book, so I don't know how much screen time he'll have in the movie anyway. I never did find a pic of him at Coachella.

and the sexpistols drummer

interesting that he highlights bremen..berlin was wild and hot while bremen was receptive but polite (not pushy in the front for example) but was not in the overdrive mode as morrissey gigs should be...but it was a good concert;-)

the sex pistols drummer was also there (post from main board)

Re:The Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook (Score:1)
Paul was there with his friend Mark,- me whom makes the films for his new band Manraze. I look young, but not young enough to be his son. Backstage Moz met Stella McCartney for a long chinwag and an awestruck Liv Tyler whom just smiled adoringly at the master.
I got to meet my childhood fancy and of course was slightly tougue tied as the Mozman was flanked by 2 nasty geeks. I reminded Moz of how I first paid 25p to see him perform in my SU bar at Sheffield Uni andI'm still coming now.
I think Moz didn't like it that my Westwood shirt was more English gentlemanly than his raggedy one that he was wearing backstage and consequently tounge tied him-nicethought anyhow!

I thought the sound was awful but loved the show.mark

Chris Isaak, after hearing 'Wicked Game' on the radio i remember him getting asked what he thought of Morrissey in an interview to which he replied, 'very cool' and left it at that. Cool.
Co-incidentally Helena Christensen starred in the 'Wicked Game' video and she loves Morrissey. I wonder if she was imagining Morrissey when smooching with Isaak in the video, perhaps not.

Martin Gore (from Depeche Mode) was a fan of The Smiths and likes Morrissey.

Alan Wilder (also from DM until 1995, now Recoil) said that he likes his voice and would like to work with him.

There have been other lists, Kewpie will be able to direct us to, but let's make this the most recent up-to-date list.
I love knowing that celebrities are just like us, fans of Moz!
Here's a few to start us off:
Hilary Duff
Robbie Williams
Eva Mendes
Russell Brand
Pete Wentz
Please add yours:)

Pete Wentz doesn't count, as he's not a celebrity. Douche/no talent hack? yes. Celebrity? no.

Sublist of those only claiming to like Moz for reasons of credibility:

Hilary Duff

Fred Durst

Tory Twat David Cameron

The list would be quite a bit longer on the "I like Morrissey on to gain/keep my credibility" than just that you've mentioned?

Helena Christensen loves Moz? So I'm not the No.1 danish Moz fan? :eek: :tears:
quote

something julia riley spotted in one of her true to you fanzines which I scribble up now:
madonna on moz
in an Q magazine around 94:"Im more aware of morrissey in his sexual politics than his music. I`ve listended to some of his records(...) I think he is a brilliant lyricist."

before that moz has vocalized his dislike about madonna, i really was wondering she wasnt bitching back. regardless of her own music she has a good music taste and favours artists who arent already big names, also some of them either join her band (zootwoman), she works with the right producers or she did signed them for her recordlabel.
she has a very reserved and cold aura about her, though.

Michael hutchence (r.i.p.) also in Q around the same time:
Q:" would you snog morrissey for a pound?"
Michael:" of course i would. like a shot . I`d do it for 50 p.
Helena (christensen, model and then girlfriend, also reportely a huge fan)
would be proud of me, She`s mad for morrissey."

also luka bloom who is an irish folk artist declares his love and adoration for morrissey , tht he would like to meet him and said "that moz does a lot for a lot of people"

(Q, december 94 and january 95)

Many thanks to mozsupportsrovers who posted strange / unexpected moz refrence? thread (http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?p=1300038#post1300038/), Benicio Del Toro is also a Morrissey fan. :)

http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article7015206.ece


Benicio Del Toro is down on all fours in a shady London hotel suite, writing his name in marker pen across the cleavage of his latest co-star, Emily Blunt. The 42-year-old Oscar winner, Che star and Latin love god is chuckling to himself as he signs his name hurriedly on a stack of posters for his new movie, The Wolfman, noting naughtily, “Sorry, I’m just writing on Emily Blunt.”

Within seconds he’s up on his feet, a bracing vision of Puerto Rican masculinity, in a charcoal black suit and crisp white shirt and with his hooded hazel eyes on full beam. “Morrissey!” he says, excitedly, spotting the letters “orrisse” poking out from an old T-shirt beneath my jacket, before enthusing about the singer’s back catalogue and launching into a rendition of Everyday is Like Sunday. And then — suddenly — he’s down. “J. D. Salinger is dead!” he announces, sinking into the couch, lighting up the first of many Dunhills.

It is worth noting here that Del Toro’s reputation as a “difficult” interviewee precedes him. He once warned a respected British broadsheet writer that he would set his dogs upon him if he asked any more personal questions. He is a well-known fan of obfuscation, exhaled sighs and weary eye-rolls. And he recently stormed out of a Washington Times interview, spitting, “I’m done. I hope you write whatever you want. I don’t give a damn!”

That is why it’s something of a surprise, and indeed a relief, to encounter the ebullience in Del Toro, and to find someone engaged and seemingly free from moody, brooding machismo.

He says, for instance, that the news of Salinger’s death, just over 24 hours old, is still something of a shock for him. “I only read three books in high school,” he says. “The Catcher in the Rye, The Old Man and the Sea and Don Quixote. With the last two I winged it, but I made a connection with Holden Caulfield. I liked the fact that he hated movies but pretended to be a movie gangster. It was weird to me that he hated and loved the same thing. At the time, as a kid, I said, ‘Hey, I feel like that, too!’”

The love-hate thing, you quickly learn, is key for Del Toro, as are the childhood roots. For the actor has cast himself, in life and on screen, as the perennial rebel. Burdened, it seems, by matinee idol looks in the Valentino mould, he is nonetheless loath to play it straight. Wherever possible he piles on extra pounds (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) or loses them (Che), or hides under fright wigs (The Pledge). And when his appearance is untouched, he duly attacks his own performances with an arsenal of accents, twitches and fantastically arcane deliveries — his Usual Suspects director Bryan Singer at first thought that Del Toro’s eccentric turn as Fred Fenster in that film was part of an elaborate practical joke.

Today, however, Del Toro is not so sure about this interpretation of his life. First, he says, he wasn’t using the movie to explore his Oedipal issues. “I’ve explored that in my own head,” he says, smiling calmly, no hint of a walkout in sight. “I don’t need The Wolfman to explore that. And my father didn’t send me to an asylum, and my mom wasn’t killed by a werewolf.” He could stop there, but he continues. “Yes, there are parallels, in that Lawrence loses his mother early. But there are other parallels, too. The fact that he’s an actor, or the fact that my father had weapons, too — he had a permit to carry them, by the way. But you could sit down and write a thesis on all this, and the parallels, but it wouldn’t tell you anything.”

He could really, really, stop there, but he doesn’t. There is a sense, in Del Toro today, that he wants to put an end to the public bashing of his father (who still lives, with his third wife, in Puerto Rico).

“My dad was present,” he says, firmly. “He was strict. Yes. You had to clean your room and shine your shoes every Sunday. But he was present. He was there. He had dinner with me, and breakfast, every day. So, yes, he was tough, and I had bumps like everyone has with their parents. But at the time I was just trying to find myself.”

Del Toro eventually studied in Los Angeles with Stella Adler, the Method-acting guru who taught Marlon Brando, and he quickly became known, or notorious, for his demented working ways. Cast, for instance, as a pretty-boy hatchet man in the Bond movie Licence to Kill, he says that the seriousness with which he approached every single gesture (he does a lot of manic smiling in the film) was not entirely appreciated by those around him. “In my head I thought I was the lead of that movie,” he says, with a half-snort of embarrassment. “But I also realised that I was driving everybody crazy with these little choices. ‘Should I scratch myself this way here? Should I do that there?’ Whatever. I was learning about film acting while doing that movie. I didn’t know anything.”

The Exorcist film-maker William Friedkin, who directed Del Toro in the action film The Hunted, was forced to muse, somewhat tactfully: “I know several directors who would consider the interest that Benicio takes in the script and the dialogue, as well as the story, as sort of meddling.”

And yet, the proof is there on screen. In The Usual Suspects, Del Toro’s breakout role as the small-time criminal Fenster was empty on the page, with little dialogue and no dramatic impact, until Del Toro came along and transformed him into a husky mass of barely audible one-liners and disgruntled sneers.

Elsewhere, he insisted that his Mexican cop in Traffic, though originally written with ambiguities, be utterly righteous — which duly provided the film with a much- needed moral core (and earned Del Toro an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor).

Sometimes his choices have backfired. His decision to play Dr Gonzo as a bloated slob in Terry Gilliam’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas adaptation was ultimately detrimental to his career. He piled on 40 pounds (“I ate 16 doughnuts a day”) and played the movie in a long unintelligible slur.

Ah, yes, the movie-star looks. It’s that time in the interview, where we must get down and address how he relates to his “sex god” status. “I don’t know what sexy is,” he says, thoughtfully, as if contemplating his beauty for the very first time. “Maybe it’s being comfortable with who you are, and not giving a damn about what people are thinking about. I think part of it is looks, and for that you’ve got to thank my mom and my dad. Good genes, I guess. But the other part is what Stella Adler used to say, ‘You can’t play sexy. Either you are, or you’re not. Period. The minute you try, it shows.’”

He suddenly catches himself, uncomfortable. “It’s not like I’m going, ‘Oh, I’m sexy!’” he says, before pausing, and, trapped between modesty and honesty, reluctantly blurting out, “But, you know, you can’t put it on! And you have to have some kind of appeal to be in movies.”

Typically, and true to stereotype, Del Toro’s personal back catalogue of romance is lengthy and includes Alicia Silverstone, Claire Forlani, Scarlett Johansson, Valeria Golino, Chiara Mastroianni and Minnie Driver. Today, though, he says that he is romantically “in limbo”. Has he not thought of settling down? “Why?” he says, indignantly. “Everyone says, ‘Why isn’t he married?’ But it’s like, ‘F***! Why do I have to get married? Just so I can get divorced?’” He describes his West Hollywood apartment, in unapologetic Men are from Mars terms, as his “cave” and asks me if I have my own cave. I tell him that I’m married, with children, and he leaps up excitedly, “See! You do have a cave! But it’s been invaded!”

He says that in his cave he has two dogs, lots of books and two tortoises that are regularly tended to by the local expert tortoise breeder-cum-smoothie British actor Julian Sands (no, really). Del Toro says that he doesn’t have time for marriage anyway, and that he’s always working on forthcoming projects. The next of these, depending on scheduling, may be either a new Martin Scorsese movie called Silence, about 17th-century Jesuit monks and co-starring Daniel Day-Lewis, o

He lights another Dunhill and slips back into easy anecdotal mode. He tells a story about presenting at the 2002 Oscars where, true to his bad-boy image, he presents the award but doesn’t take his seat in the auditorium, and instead slinks off home to watch it on TV. However, he goes to Sir Elton John’s party later that night, where he is approached by Sir Paul McCartney, who taps him on the shoulder and says, “Benicio, where were you? You were supposed to be sitting beside me all night.” Being a lifelong Beatles obsessive, much handwringing ensued.

He also talks of how his Oscar win finally convinced his father that his acting career was here to stay. And he remembers one of his first roles, as a sweet-faced extra, nodding his head and smiling, in the Madonna pop promo La Isla Bonita (“I’ve known her for years, and she’s very nice about it”). He talks some more, about his Bond audition, and about his first high school romance. And, as he does, and as we close, I wonder why he’s not at all like the brooding, simmering, Latin stormer-outer of legend. Is he, I wonder, strangely content with his life right now?

“No!” he says, recoiling in horror at the very idea. “I’m driven by obstacles that come around in my life. Whether they’re goals, whether I’ve put them there by myself, or whether they arrive on their own. I’m not, like, content. Content sounds a little too passive.” And then he smiles his very own, yes, wolfish smile, and adds: “And as we know, that’s just not me.”

The Wolfman is on general release from February 12

Marilyn Manson


Well, Manson didn't seem, to me, a fan of The Smiths or Morrissey. According to his autobiography Long Hard Road Out Of Hell, he just basically thinking liking the Smiths (or having sex with a girl who likes The Smiths) makes you a homosexual. Or if your middle, first, or last name is Morrissey. Or if you're cutting your hair while a Morrissey song is playing. Basically, if you know who Morrissey is, you're gay... According to the Antichrist Superstar, that is. :rolleyes:
