If you are underage, you must stop reading.
If you are of age, continue, but this means you have a filthy mind.
So, then. Amongst the recent reports of having spotted Morrissey in the Capital [city], one has come from a journalist from Mondo Oltro*, who, for the sake of his country, asks to remain anonymous.
The place: a gay bar called Sphinx. A bar, yes, but with crosses of Saint Andrea [,not to mention] staff and customers with bare ass cheeks. In sum, a leather bar.
Morrissey was with a friend who introduced him to a famous writer and journalist, whose name Mondo Oltro will not state, so as not to incur complaints. Alternative meaning for preceding sentence: …whose name Mondo Oltro will not state, so as not to cause [legal?] action. OR: …whose name Mondo Oltro will not state, so as not to start an argument. The word here is 'querele,' one of language's sexiest words if I do say so, but anyway. The pair chatted amiably without having the faintest idea who the other person was.
Our ‘oltretto’/journalist/blogger described the Italian writer as ‘in his seventies, gaunt, and having Christina Aguilera’s skin color.’ Moz was ‘very Gene Gnocchi, as usual.’** The two drank bottled Beck’s beer, and chatted under a TV screen, which displayed two fat men licking the boots of another fat man. Neither of the two has visited the darkroom [back room?] or the Dungeon, the room of torture.
The mutual friend introduced Moz to the writer as ‘a famous rock singer’. The writer was visibly ‘unimpressed’.
Could it be true? Mondo Oltro limits itself to reporting sightings, like UFOlogists do.
*’oltretto’ is a nickname for journalists/bloggers who work for the Italian fanzine/fansite Mondo Oltro.
** For a picture of Italian actor Gene Gnocchi, look here. He’s that guy at the top.

True or not, I thought this story was way hot and deserved a bump out of the Billy Fury thread. Certainly I’m not the only person who’s imagined Morrissey near a dungeon door in some classy-yet-lurid Italian gay bar.

It could have been worse now couldn't it? He could have been spotted in America. Or even with Tom Cruise! Anyways, it is his life and nobody else's. If anyone has a problem with where Morrissey is having some fun, or who he is sharing his spare time with well, thats just too bad. GET OVER IT ALREADY. He is human and that is what humans do. As far as this guy being in his 70's well, I had a thing for Johnny Carson when I was in my twenties and early thirties and I would never say no to Terrance Stamp or even Tom Brokaw for that matter! I am just 9 months shy of Moz's age so maybe we have the same taste in grey hair? I must admit, I am a bit angry that I wasn't phoned to go out with them. Oh well, I'll never learn.

- Father Moz was appraising the purchase of two stories: "Blond Number 5" and "Bras and handles of broom". But it did not read the fascette, looked at the illustrations in covered. After about 46 zen meditation of minutes it chose for "Blond n. 5 ". While was at the box received a telephone call on the cellular one and so answered: "TO But' I took the libbro pe' zi' Rose.

This "headline" is an all-time "low" for this website/fansite.
Tabloid bullsh*t and "scandal-like" headlines are really childish, and they are also in poor taste.
Is this really a fansite? Because I'm beginning to question the nature of this entire website.
First of all, I know many heterosexual men who have gone into a gay bar with their wives/girlfriends. This is the year 2005, right?
Also- just because someone enters a gay bar does not mean they are gay.
Furthermore, if someone IS gay- who cares? Big deal.
I've read where experts have said that one's sexual identity/sexual orientation is really a small part of the entire "person" anyway.
It could also be said that Morrissey simply wanted to meet someone influential.
This headline is really immature and of no relevance whatsoever. I am shocked and surprised that David T. even posted it as a headline. A bar is a bar (for the most part) anyway. Who really cares. I doubt Morrissey would even mention or sing about the meeting on his upcoming album.
This debate is hackneyed, cliched, and just plain boring. Either you are a fan or you're not. That's my two cents.

If it's the former, then fair play, as such lurid gossip is part of the British culture that Moz detests, or did at one time.

After all, would you be accusing David of blasphemy if the story reported that Moz was seen chatting to a female writer in a bar playing dance music, showing a hetero couple gyrating against one another on the big screen?

third, there are stories all the time about morrissey spottings such as if they saw him at the grocery store or at the Tiger Army show. do you have a problem with the fact that this time around he was seen in a gay bar? it's a public space just like anywhere else and he was sitting around and having a drink in it and that's it just like the numerous times he's been seen at the Cat and Fiddle. Morrissey wasn't embarrassed to go in to that bar. I think you people need to grow up.

I'm an Italian Moz fan and have to say that what I read could really be true: the place exists and the writer they talk about, too. He is a very clever and smart Italian man, probably called Aldo Busi. And I have to say that Moz isn't so popular in Italy, not so many people know who he is or can recognize him... so he could go wherever he wants in Rome without being bothered.
Unfortunately, I still can't meet him but I won't lose faith.

NEWS FLASH: Moz Did Not Know It Was A Gay Bar? NOT (Score:1)
First Off: When you go out with friends on Friday night or Saturday for drinks, do you not check the place you are going to before you go to it? I should think so. And if you went inside, would you stay and have a few drinks and hang out with some of the gay guys or girls who were there because they know its a gay bar?
Second: I was in one of the better known well respected gay bars in Boston called the Napolian Club. It has two piano bars downstairs to which the guys 20 to 80 years of age socialize there and get to know each other better. And upstairs is a dance floor where mostly the younger crowd hangs out. One night I was at the far back piano bar with a good friend who is 43 years my senior when a friend of mine from my day job walked in. we both kind of looked at each other like 'what are you doing in here'? He then proceeded to pretend like he walked into the wrong bar, and was also pretending that he was too drunk to have noticed that it was an 98% all male bar. To try to defuse his bad acting routine I said, "look T, I am here and you are here, why don't you just admit the real reason why you are in here." He then told me about himself, as I did to him the same and the tension left the room.
We are still great friends going on 15 years later. My case in point, you do not frequent a gay bar without knowing what it is to begin with! Morrissey knew exactly where he was and who he was talking with. Also, for him it must be a bit easier for him in Italy where he is not noticed as much. Bottom line is that he has needs just like you and I do. I know this has been quoted a bunch of times before but, "He is human and

The Truth Behind The Headline!! (Score:0)
As we know, Morrissey is currently in Rome recording his new album. The producer of that LP is Tony Visconti, most famed for his groundbreaking work with Bowie. Following in the illustrious footsteps of Mr Bowie, it's been leaked that Morrissey is making a 'concept' LP along the lines of 'Ziggy Stardust'. 10 of 13 tracks have already been recorded and apparently it's about the rise of fall of a gay nightclub singer called 'John la Jon', once the brightest cabaret act in Las Vegas, whose glittering career is brought to a tragic end after he is caught, ahem, "giving favours and all" to a young, impressionable cocktail waiter. La Jon's career hits meltdown and it's said Morrissey is going to end the story with two sad ballads - one entitled 'Lament For John la Jon' and 'If I Knew Love Was This Painful I Would Curse This Dreadful World I live In.'
They will contain some of the most searing Morrissey lyrics ever, so it's been rumoured.
So, the truth is simple. If Morrissey was seen in a gay bar in Rome, it was purely for artistic research and inspiration for his new album - which currently has the working title 'Head, Head Boy.'
