Quentin S. Crisp - supernatural fiction Morrissey reference
posted by davidt on Monday April 27 2009, @01:00AM

I wanted to find out the origins of the phrase 'Troubled Joe' (Google search).

Doing so, I noticed the writer 'Quentin S. Crisp'(!) has claimed to be writing a story with that title (blog entry from 2006). inspired by A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours.

Further Googling uncovered this:

ALL GOD'S ANGELS, BEWARE!
Quentin S. Crisp
Cover art: Not yet finalised
Publication Date: July 2009

In “Troubled Joe”, a ghost tethered to this world by chains of resentment searches for someone to hear his story.

It seems like the story is going to see print, in a collection with a title that seems to be a reference from another Manchester musical legend.

"Fortunate Teens Party With Morrissey, 1994" - painting by Derek Erdman
posted by davidt on Monday April 27 2009, @01:00AM

Derek Erdman made this painting titled "Fortunate Teens Party With Morrissey, 1994."

Below is Erdman's fictional-story associated with the painting.

There is a seldom told story that Morrissey's tour bus broke down in small town Ohio in the autumn of 1994. A full day was necessary for the repairs to be completed and Morrissey and his band delighted local teenaged fans by stopping by a house party to drink beer and smoke marijuana. "It was the time of my life," remarks Tamara Marshall, who was hosting the party. "My parents were out of town and I was told not to have a party, but once Morrissey showed up I knew I wasn't going to be a secret for long." When asked what she remembered most about Morrissey's visit, Tamara answered, "He didn't like Rolling Rock beer".

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
