Canadian music site Jam! has an interview up with Sylvain Sylvain, ex- New York Dolls member. At one point, the interviewer brings up Morrissey:
JAM!: I think I got into the Dolls as a kid because I was into The Smiths. Morrissey was a big fan.
Sylvain: (Reminiscing) Oh God. I met him in L.A. in about '94. He invited me down to a show. He sings "Trash" at performances. He may have stopped now. But I saw the set list with "Trash" on it, so I took it and got him to sign it. I asked him how he started liking the Dolls. He said he saw us on the BBC while he was sitting there with his mom. He used to walk to school holding the first album --just the cover, no record inside -- just to show people where he was at. As a matter of fact, when I played in L.A. last year he came to see me. The paper was funny: Morrissey this, Morrissey that, but not a word about Sylvain's show. They probably thought I was doing HIS song "Trash"! (laughs).
