Morrissey mention (small) in a non-fiction story in GQ

The mention is small, but nevertheless, Morrissey's name came about to my great suprise as I read.

In the October issue of GQ, in a non-fiction article titled "The Professor of Desire," the author (who's a professor in real life) writes.... 'Claudia was the ringleader. She had a thing for Morrissey. I didn't know who the hell Morrissey was. Stephanie tried to explain it to me. I felt as if Stephanie had become my nurse and I had undergone some kind of generational stroke. I was suffering from cultural aphasia. All my references were off. None of my students listened to Bob Dylan. They didn't have to-many were named Dylan.'

    I read that story. Absolute twaddle. Anybody else scan it? Complete manipulative garbage--just like any other middle-aged confessionals in GQ and Esquire. Not a good place to find Morrissey mentioned. Story itself supposedly true--probably horribly embellished. Not much lower than 50-year old leches babbling about how they did everybody (especially themselves, of course) wrong by giving in to their sad impulses and falling prey to the wiles of 19-year old co-eds. Only Humbert Humbert gets any sympathy from me. The rest of these spineless pale shadows don't deserve a forum for their weepy mea culpas.

    And always, we have the faithful devoted saint of a wife who (conveniently) takes the philandering buffoon back after his peccadillos. Pathetic, but no pathos!
