Morrissey's birthday mentioned on Spin.com
Posted on Wed, May 24 2000 at 9:00 a.m. PDT
by David T. <david@morrissey-solo.com>
From MozGurlie:

it's really not that interesting, but it's cute...

Today in History, Birthdays, Music, & Stuff, May 22, 2000

Created by Spin.com's email loving Ultragrrrl (ultragrrrl@aol.com), who informs us that "Stalking Thom Yorke [of Radiohead] is not a crime."

Today is dedicated to Morrissey. For there is no other man who can make us at Spin.com feel the way that he makes us feel. No other man can speak to us the way he does, and no other person is like he. Today is Morrissey's 41st Birthday and there will be 41 candle lights (plus one more for good luck), that won't go out. Hand in glove, and the sun shines out of our behinds because that joke isn't funny anymore.

A.J. Langer, the super amazing chick who played Rayanne Graff on My So-Called Life is 26. She was so amazing, why did ALL the hype go to Claire Danes? I mean, Claire was alright and stuff, but it was all about Rayanne, I mean, A.J.. It's like some sort of sad Mozzer song where pretty girls make early graves or something. (Julie would like to say that at one point in her life she thought Moz and AJ Langer were both incredibly hot!)

When Dan Roberts of Crash Test Dummies sings "Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... Mmm...," it's really all a prelude to "Mmmorrissey... Mmorrissey" but that part was cut out from the original song. Anyway, it's his birthday today and he's 33.

1954 - Mazel Tov to Robert Zimmerman a.k.a. Bob Dylan, who celebrated his Bar Mitzvah on this day. It's on this day that 13 year old boys become men, and 13 year old girls become women, and 13 year old Morrissey's rock.

Morrissey and Bob Dylan have the same birthday? What are the odds that two men I admire highly have the same one......cool.

morrissey probably had a very interesting birthday, spending his afternoon, dwindling the hours away in a hammock hanging between two oak trees. Then he probably got up, ordered his poor non-english speaking butler and maid to get him a corona and to spin the old billy fury record. Then fell back into the hammock and practiced his new songs at a barely audible volume. He trys to sip the drink lying down and spills it on his chin which dribbles down onto his exposed chest. Drops cling to his frizzy chest hair, as he exclaims "oh my." Steven then calls out, "Horacio! Horacio! come quickly". The solemn butler looks out sliding glass door that opens to the large back yard. His eyes signal terror as he jets to the kitchen to grab a paper towel. But then drops that in the garbage and picks up the new versace towels Moz purchased last week on Rodeo Drive. Anyway, Moz isn't satisfied when horatio attempts to wipe his chin and hairy chest. Horatio has inadvertantly began tickling the Mozzer, so Moz exudes a high-pictched laugh, sounding something like Michael jackson. Kirsty McColl rings the doorbell but the butler is outside and the maid now stands peering through the sliding glass door as she envisions who the next immigrant is who'll work aside her. So, she doesn't hear the door bell, kirsty impatiently wanders around trying to get to the back yard where she hears giggling. She is barred by the gate which extends itself to the end of the property and is united by the gate of another rich celebrity. Etc. Etc. Etc.

That's pretty good Tim. Let me finish it for ya:

As Kirsty tries to get a peek through the gate, Morrissey's neighbor (the rich celebrity) decides to see what all the fuss is about. To Kirsty's shagrin it's ORENTHAL! Kirsty realizing Orenthal's temptation to slit off the domes of big breasted white women shrieks and runs away. Horacio, by this time, is done tickling errr cleaning Moz. Horacio walks back into the house unaware of the danger which lies on the other side of the gate. The maid, on the other hand, has already seen Orenthal and is already calling up her cousin Guadalupe to come and pick her up. Orenthal, with a knife in one hand and a cake in the other, stands up on his ford bronco (parked in the yard trying to avoid attention) and looks over the fence at Moz. Morrissey, shocked at this sight, says "What in the heavens?!". Orenthal says, "I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday new neighbor". Suddenly O.J.'s abusive new girlfriend comes storming into Orenthal's yard. O.J. drops the cake and pulls out his cellular. With the knife still in his other hand (realizing that he'll probably need it) and calling the cops with the other, he jumps Morrissey's fence, and runs across the yard with the skank in hot pursuit. In all the commotion Moz is able to run into the house, grab his pistol and hide under the bed. After 20 minutes or so, he gets up, and looks out the window only to see Orenthal's girlfriend in a coma, a golf club at her side, and Horacio's dome on top of the cake. There is no sign of Orenthal or the maid. If only the 911 operator believed him. Morrissey has the authorities take care of it, and blows out the candles!

The End.

Moz's birthday was also mentioned in The Denver Post in the celebrity news section. Only two others were mentioned (can't remember who). The Post usually mentions just three birthdays per day ... so does that mean he's among the world's top 1,000 celebrities? Anyhow, a pleasant surprise on my morning bus ride, to see Morrissey's name in the local paper.
