            Of course, I can't speak for his normal everyday life, but Morrissey was definitely wearing some kind of undergarments at his Las Vegas II concert. During his encore, I caught a glimpse of shimmering royal blue underwear peeking out from the top of his dark blue sailor trousers. They looked very luxurious. Anchors away indeed!

              i've put my comment here cos the debate on SATH is getting full-up!!!
              mexicans, yanks, english, euro's, africans, so morrissey appeals to loads of people.
              the feature in the la times was relevant for documenting that mozz is liked by latinos too.- and not a pat on the back for the likes of SATH.
              SATH may be crap, they may be mildly amusing to watch-but the topic must die.
              people talking about people who impersonate the man mozz, really.
              good times-for a change.....?

                      Mozzer's are up to $227 with 17 bids. I shall have to settle for the Everclear boxers, only $10 and one competing bidder. I saw Everclear at a local show with Harvey Danger, whose singer once mentioned The Smiths as an influence on MTV.... that should be a good enough reason to bid!

                        I'd love to see a collaboration between Morrissey & The Boys but God knows Hell will freeze-over before that ever happens. Or, wait, is it really that impossible? The main problem is that Moz seems fiercly devoted to solely guitar-based rock, although he does tinker with samples and the occasional synthesizer (e.g. the solo in "Int' Playboys") here & there. I'm not saying that Moz should suddenly go electronic; God, that would be totally innapropriate. Everyone knows he can write lyrics like mad, but he needs some progressive/groundbreaking music to put him on the map again...

                        Speaking of PSB & the Wilde trials, I've always felt Neil's passage from their single "Before" hinted at that:

                        "There's a story of a man who loved too much
                        He ended up inside a prison cell
                        You've got to want to give to get it
                        Or you could land up in the same suspicious hell
                        (It's happened before)..."

                        -c

                        P.S. Crap, the boxers... oh, hell... just score me "offtopic", I don't care! Actually, I think it's lame that the eBay auction doesn't show Moz's signature, just a generic pic of the shorts. I wonder if he wrote "Let The Right One Slip In" on them... that would have been a riot!
