Dear Moz Possee

We are delighted with your response to the new single That's How People Grow Up!

We are in the middle of a chart battle with all the crashing bores. Thanks to you we are doing very nicely as you continue to scoop up the 7" x 2 and CD singles formats however we need your support on the digital front which is where pop records have the edge.

We have two exclusive live versions available. You can buy Live at The Hollywood Bowl here and Live at The Roundhouse here.

Help us win the war.

Morrissey 'tracked down' by Tim Samuels - The Culture Show (Saturday 9th Feb at 6.55pm BBC2)

According to the TV listings Mozzer is going to be 'tracked down' by Tim Samuels and asked questions from 20 years ago. Here is an extract from the bbc website:

"Tim Samuels tracks down his childhood hero Morrissey, and plays him the tapes from his first interview with the star, recorded 20 years ago in Manchester when Tim was 13 and writing for the Vegetarian Society magazine. How will his hero worship go down?"

The Culture Show is on BBC2 at 6.55pm and is usually presented by the lovely Lauren Laverne, who interviewed the man when he performed at the V-Festival in 2006. They also did an interview with him in relation to being in the top three of 'the greatest living Brit'. Could be an interesting show?

After flicking through tv listings it appears Morrissey is on the above show. The listing says "..Tim Samuels will be making a personal dream come true by interviewing his childhood hero, Morrissey.!

The show goes out at 6:55pm on BBC2 this Saturday.

 An anonymous person writes:
Today's NYT has an interesting article on the 50th anniversary of the plane crash that killed many of the Manchester United soccer team. Of course, this is relevant to Mozdom via "Munich Air Disaster 1958."

Not a big story by a long chalk but heard on Talk Radio tonight the Morrissey song Munich Air Disaster 1958. Was just astonished to hear such an obscure song being played-obviously to mark the 50th anniversary of the tragedy. Call me morbid,call me pale...

How do you feel about Morrissey dropping the F-bomb during his recent concert in Hamburg, Germany? (suggested by Ken Stavitzke)
I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
The audience provocateur should be examined, not Morrissey's reply
