It wasn't in the MOJO-Special, but in the book "Landscapes Of The Mind", page 177:

"With him was Jake, who was introduced as his 'companion-personal assistant', a closely cropped, burly young man who later took a series of stunning pictures for the singer's record covers, and whose hirsute torso – emblazoned with tattoos and with the word MOZ across his midriff in large letters – had graced the sleeve of 'The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get'. Later, Morrissey would astonish and shock some of his fans by allowing himself to be photographed with his head resting on the ex-boxer-singer's lap."

">I read it recently. Must have been the MOJO Special.

>>In Response To: Scan 3

>>so how do you know it's him? i've seen plenty of thighs that look like that.

This should put the matter to rest.

Not really. The series of "stunning photos" are attributed to Jake Walters who is actually a professional photographer.

Where do you think journalists from MOJO get their information? Most of it is probably culled from fansites like this. Chinese whispers.

It's the same Jake, he used to box now he takes pictures.
If this is what you're getting at?
 
Jake's full name?

The quote is not from MOJO but from the book "Landscapes Of The Mind". It speaks of the Jake, his personal assistant, that we all mean.

But one question: That "Jake" is he called Jake Walters or Jake Owen? In Peepholism it's said that Jake Owen took the back picture of TMYIMTCIG.

Re: Jake's full name?

alright, rumor confirmed. but now the $64,000 dollar question: if he's morrissey's "companion-personal assistant", how come we don't see or hear much of him now? assuming that picture is at least, what, 10 years old? assuming they're not together anymore, he's now officially stuck with "moz" across his stomach.

Yes but can you imagine how Intense this relationship must have been, the tattoo belongs where it is.

The tattoo was just drawn on for the sleeve photo - I think it says that in the old Select interview (there is a link to it on the ACTS site). Jake is a professional photographer now (he has done a lot of high profile stuff; I can't remember his site link, but it is there on a google search) and way back when was Morrissey's photographer, fixer and minder - as to whether he needed one or not is debatable. He isn't gay, unfortunately for Morrissey, but stayed with him purely because he was on something of a good earner. The orginal Best Friend on the Payroll.
He and Moz fell out over a number of matters and that was that, end of story.

Yeah but I think we all still want to know about the 'fixing and minding' and untill we do people will speculate. End of story? no!
