is moz a white thing only?

[anonymous]

I don't recall seeing (pictures of) moz fans who weren't either (pale) white or latinos. Are there any BLACK fans at all? I'm not trying to be polemic, but I really do wonder!

[Mindy]

there are black and asian fans. i personally know a couple asian fans and have seen some black fans at shows.

[david.]

so do I. I know a black fan, an Arabic fan, an Asian fan and a Mexican fan, to name a few...

most Morrissey fans in America seem to be non white

There was a black girl, with white friends, at the 'This Night Has Opened My Eyes' Moz/Smiths event at Don Hill's, NYC, in May 2001. She was having a great time and was clearly mouthing every word of every song.

yeah, there was this rabid fan -- a black girl -- at this SATH show i went too. she was all over jose and she was singing along and shrieking.

isn't one of the Morrissey-tour girls black?

[Mindy]

you know what? i think you're right.

[david.]

who are the Morrissey tour girls? I hear so much of them.

[Sharron Needles]

> isn't one of the Morrissey-tour girls black?

yes, Angela is African-American.

[Mindy]

have you never been to www.morrisseytour.com? the girls (and i believe one guy) who run that site try to cover every show (or have a contact do so) and they generally provide some useful information. a lot of people here don't like them for some reason, but there hasn't been a lot of controversy lately, so that's good.

Funny quote from Moz:

"Yes I have had a tan actually. I went to Los Angeles recently and got one there, but it didn't make it back to Britain. It got stopped by customs - you're not actually allowed to come through customs with a tan. (i-D October 1987)"
