Morrissey-solo hits 1,000,000
Posted on Sun, Jul 18 1999 at 11:00 a.m. PDT
by David T. <david@Morrissey-solo.com>
At 11:24 PM Pacific time on Sat., July 17 the frontpage counter hit 1,000,000 (loaded by someone in Argentina). Thanks again to all who have helped contribute positively to the site and to all of those who reload it on a consistent basis, even in quiet periods such as this.

Although 1 million may not be that many by some web standards, I consider it is quite an accomplishment, especially for an artist-specific site. So what now? I don't know. I've never really had any sort of long-term plan -- it's all been very day-to-day and the freedom of doing it as such is something I greatly enjoy.

P.S. Although I can't say for certain Morrissey himself is among the 1,000,000, I did hear he read all the birthday wishes left for him a couple months ago.

Yes, congrats. I rely on Morrissey solo, because like pre smiths Morrissey I don't have a job and can't buy magazines and things to keep me informed*l* (p.s. I hope he read the birthday wishes....)

Hey David! I was that “someone... somewhere...”
Congratulations, you really deserve it!!!
Your lovely site is by far the best one I've ever seen...
You’re right, probably Ricky Martin’s and Backstreet Boys’ sites receive millions of visits daily, but who cares?
Stay Handsome!

*sigh*...

I read the birthday wishes, and unfortunately, I hadn't begun to look around this website in time to have left my own message! :( But anyway, I did have my own little private celebration for Morrissey's birthday on May 22. And I would like to take this opportunity to thank Steven Patrick Morrissey for touching (and saving) my life. I'm not going to say much more because it will all sound very redundant and cliche. So, I'll end with this: MORRISSEY I LOVE YOU!!!!

Oh yes, and thank you for the site. :) I should have started coming here sooner, but oh well. It's very informative and insightful. Keep it up! Morrissey's fans need you almost (but not quite) as much as we need Morrissey himself!!! :)

Stay handsome,
Tara

Hi, David. I can honestly say that I "hit" this site at least 3 times a-day. Thank you VERY MUCH for keeping it going, and keeping it so current and informative. We're not worthy! :)

Thanks for all your work, David, in keeping up such a great, informative site. And I wouldn't be surprised if Morrissey has taken a look--I wouldn't be suprised if he visits once in a while just to take a peek at what his fans think.

But if Moz did leave a comment, would we believe it to be him?

Thank God no one's been as idiotic to pretend to be Morrissey--at least not yet...hope I haven't started anything! wink.

Congratulations, David! I've been following your "fanzine" since the old "Sing Your Life" days (I still have all of the issues!) I was glad to see you move online, and I can't thank you enough for helping keep all of us fans in touch with the world of Morrissey. "I could say more, but you get the general idea..."
