"The Late Show With David Letterman" August 19 1997

story and photos by Ronnie

I went to the Late Show Taping today. Got there at 5:30 am, and did not get in. I was number 31 on the standby list, and I missed it by 7. Anyway, after the show, Morrissey came out of the side door, past the crowd and into his waiting limo. As he was getting in, some jerk in the crowd starts screaming that "Mike Joyce had gotten what he deserved." Morrissey was extremely upset at this, and the limo sped away. I ran after it, begging Moz to please sign my Late Night Ticket. His limo stopped at a light and he lowered his window, took my ticket and signed it! I then told him I was in a band, a band called The Truth. Anyway, after explaining to him that he was a hugh influence on our music, I gave him a 4 song demo of the band, which he gladly accepted. My wife took a picture {which is being developed as we speak}, and he drove away. It was truly one of the greatest experiences of my life!
