Coronation Street features "How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel?"
posted by davidt on Monday June 21 2004, @10:30PM

Missing Link writes:

I can't believe it!... Dev Alahan has been up all night drinking, looking like shite following his bowel cancer scare and his girlfriend dumping him because he told an old flame about his problem before his wife-to-be... and guess what, crooning in the background, cheering up Dev is our good old mate MORRISSEY!.

"How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel?" sings Morrissey, before it is rudely turned off by his old flame.

Now the big question: Does the You Are The Quarry CD belong to Dev or Maiya ??????

Now the 2nd big question: Is this the first appearance of Morrissey on Corrie ???

MyMelody also writes:

I was watching Corrie tonight and as Corrie fans may know, Dev is currently suffering from bowel cancer and his girlfriend left him. So who should he turn to in his hour of need? Our Moz! He was listening to it very loud until Sunita came round and turned it off. Dev normally listens to Dido, so I was very impressed. The song was clearly picked with Dev's predicament in mind. Yes, I am sad!

But Morrissey loves Corrie so I'm sure he'd be pleased.

From Top 10s - The Observer, June 20, 2004:

Morrissey
1. For Your Pleasure Roxy Music* (*Morrissey claims he can only think of one truly great British album and that this is it)

Morrissey's contribution to the Observer's top 100 British albums of all time... he could have included Smiths albums. Others that did are Tony Parsons, Stuart Murdoch, Mike Skinner of The Streets and Tim Burgess of The Charlatans.

Morrissey at Roskilde Saturday (July 3), not Friday
posted by davidt on Monday June 21 2004, @10:00AM

Joemoz writes:

The program for Roskilde has been published, and it appears that Morrissey will be playing Saturday the 3rd, not friday the 2nd as has been reported.

Also it is a bit strange that Loveshop - whose lead singer is a huge fan of Morrissey - are playing only an hour later on a different stage, which means that he will miss the concert.
