"Where are the fans ? 60 days with the gangs crazy about Morrissey" The french magazine TECHNIKART (July issue n°84) gives a 6 pages article about Morrissey fans and called "pour l'amour du Moz". From chicanos gangs to the great Manchester show, it's different mini-stories of fans (through fanzines, writers, merchandising...)

This article also mentions "morrissey-solo" as the best site and words from David Tseng (David, did you answer this interview?

Here is the link but the site hasn't been updated yet:

Un bon article sur les fans de Morrissey. Par contre citer le fanzine Myth is Morrissey comme étant le fan club de reference en France c'est franchement bidon quand on sait que ça fait 3 ans qu'ils n'ont pas edité un seul fanzine ! La létargie serait elle la fan attitude française ? Steve Perceval, un fan du Moz qui en 92 ecoutait encore Phil Collins, je me marre.

And I just read the article. It's a nice and quite objective piece of journalism. Some fans are pathetic though : searching Moz dustbin for souvenirs is not exactly my definition of dignity. The music isn't often mentioned enough.

And I agree with the comment above, Myth Is Morrissey is as good as a week-old hamburger left-over.

Finally, the French Morrissey fan is described as a nerdish student with a face full of spots. Which was true when the biggest fans around were the founders of les Inrockuptibles (who are some sort of Bill Gates of Independant Rock Journalism), but most of them have grown now and turned into the mature kind of geeks (the kind who think they know everything and feel empowered to let you know it).

Thank God, I'm an idiot but I've always looked awesome.
