A Morrissey illustration has been on Swedish milk cartons this spring. He is pictured doing some cooking! (According to the illustrator Moz IS the inspiration, not just any rockabilly type).

                    If you've read "The Severed Alliance", there was such a thing called the "Morrissey diet". It consists of:

                    -plain crisps or salt or vinegar
                    -bottle of red wine
                    -bottle of Lucozade
                    -corn flakes or cocoa pops or Special K
                    -pint of milk
                    -two green apples
                    -a cup cake
                    -a packet of cashews
                    -cheese sandwiches with butter

                    There's proof the Morrissey did (does) eat dairy (i.e., pint of milk, cheese sandwiches with butter)

                        At the Madison, WI show in 2000 right before "Meat is Murder" is played, Morrissey is talking about the World Beef Expo and cattle men killing animals. Someone in the audience yells "Go Vegan!" Morrissey replies with "I know." And then someone yells "Vegan." Does anyone know anything about this?

                        Jack ..... have you not thought of buying or collecting these empty cartons and distributing to the fan base here in the UK or USA or globally? I'm sure most UK fans would pay around £2-£3 for an empty swedish carton of milk with a picture of morrissey on it! [but only IF it is moz, indeed has he confirmed that this has his blessing]? Anyway, I would. You need to email me clive.booth@cadac.co.uk to discuss the logistics and complications.

                                It's exciting to see how much controversy and excitment can be created over morrissey showing up on a milk carton.

                                missing person?

                                folks are so starved for anything new concerning morrissey that they are actually clinging to cardboard; and debating it.

                                mr. morrissey, if you read this site, you surely must see by now just how desperate we've all become. that goes for any record company as well.

                                "...oh well, enough said. I know it's over - still i cling. i don't know where else i can go..."
