I am a die hard Stern Fan as well as a die hard Moz fan. It seems thats not as rare of a combination as I once thought. Anyway, I usually tape Howard in the mornings and listen back later in the day. I listened to the Mark Harris interview and wrote down all the mentions Mark made of Morrissey. Mark Harris mentioned Morrissey a total of 3 times on the air. First he was playing the game "Who Wants To Be A Turkish Millionaire". This is Howard's spoof of the TV show where he asks retarded questions to various weirdos. Of course a Turkish Million is equal to about five US cents. About two minutes into the game there was a question having to do with the gay band "10-CC"..here is the transcript:

Howard: .."..thats how the band 10-CC got their name, remember them?"

Mark: "I don't even know this band Morrissey who keeps calling me."

Robin: "Oh God, will you just answer the questions.."

Howard proceeded with the game.

Then about midway through his 45 minute appearance, Mark was taking calls from various people calling in calling him a homo, and various other names and out of nowhere Mark just mention Morrissey again, and again it was in the context of Morrissey as a band. Howard pretty much ignored him. Here is a transcript:

Mark: "Do you think it would be a good for me to do a singing spot with this group Morrissey?"

Howard: "(sigh), No..John, you're on the air.."

Then onto another caller to bash Mark

At the end of his appearance...Mark was giving a few plugs about his various appearances. Here's how that went:

Howard: "..well I'm happy for you about your Caroline's appearance, when do you plan to tell Caroline about it?"

Mark: "show already knows.."

Mark: "and in Vegas..Morrissey..at the House Of Blues.."

Howard: "When is that?"

Mark: "I have to look, I'm getting old ...December 19th and 20th and at the Palladium on December 15th and 16th with Boz Boorer, Alain Whyte, Spike Smith on Drums.."

Howard cuts Mark off after he mentions Spike and simply said "Alright that sounds good". It seemed like Mark had more he wanted to say (mention Gary perhaps?), but Howard wanted to end the segment and needed to break for commercials. While Mark was giving the dates Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling said "what's that all about" in the background, but Mark didn't respond to him. Mark then left.

Usually at the end of the show, Howard reads all the plugs from the various guests, but he did not mention any Morrissey dates. So the whole thing is still a mystery to Moz fans.
