Granada (UK) TV coverage of fans in Manchester for Morrissey's 50th birthday gig

Watch at www.thedayimetmorrissey.com (3 mins 40secs).

Broadcast on UK TV on Friday May 22nd and includes interview with fan and author Dickie Felton touring Morrissey sites in Manchester.

Also features interviews with fans at Salford Lads Club who travelled from Spain and America for the Apollo shows.

Craig Gill, ex Inspiral Carpets and runs MozBus tours of the city, is also featured.

Dickie said: "Other than my ugly mug appearing, this is a lovely little piece by Granada and captures the mood in Manchester during Morrissey's birthday weekend.

"I was quite flattered that they labelled me 'Morrissey's biggest fan' - though I'm sure I'm well down the pecking order for that honour.

"Even though I love Morrissey I don't even think I can lay claim to being the biggest Morrissey fan in our street!"

Girl in a Coma interview in Chicago Tribune 'RedEye' mentions Morrissey
posted by davidt on Friday June 26 2009, @11:00AM

 Kewpie sends the link (via Morrissey reddit), originally posted by Corrissey in the forums (original post):

Girl in a Coma: it's serious - Chicago Tribune
With help from Morrissey and Joan Jett, this Texas trio is ready to blow up

Excerpt:

How about your excellent band name? What's its genesis?
We went through a lot of Smiths songs to start with, because we wanted to take a phrase from them. "Girlfriend in a Coma" wasn't necessarily our favorite, but since we were originally the Ordinary Girls, we went with it. We didn't want to bite the title too much, but we might as well have. [Laughs]

To go from that to opening for Morrissey on your debut tour must have been a trip.
It was mind-blowing, and I'm glad that we did that first. We would just play, then stay in our dressing room, and try to do a good job. It was like boot camp. When we toured with Tegan and Sara, they wanted to hang out more, which was cool. Which is not to say that Morrissey isn't down-to-earth. But he's Morrissey, you know?

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
