Sept. 12, 1987 - Smiths break up day (?)
Bertrand writes: I found this in "Today in History, Birthdays, Music, & Stuff, September 12, 2000" at SPIN.com. And while I think it's factually wrong, I like the last line.
1987 - Hmm… This joke is not funny anymore, it's too close to home and too near the bone. How do I write about one of the saddest days in mope rock history? It's hard to put such things into words, but I'll try my best to do so. Morrissey, asexual lead singer of the Smiths, leaves the group. He goes solo. Johnny Marr, the amazing guitarist, goes onwards, and the other guys got screwed out of a shite load of royalties. Fun Fact: Any situation can be perfectly described by a line from a Smiths song.
Mark Simpson book delayed again

Who's the Sexiest Vegetarian Alive?
half-a-person writes: Who's the Sexiest vegetarian alive? That's what PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) is asking. Their choices include: Chrissie Hynde, Moby, Pamela Anderson, Paul McCartney, Drew Barrymore, and of course Morrissey. You can cast your vote here.
