I'm from a town called Rawtenstall in the Rossendale Valley. 2 miles from here is Haslingden. The first time I met Moz was in 1999 at his mum's house and we talked a lot about where I was from. He told me that he used to hang out with a friend of his in Haslingden and did I know it.
Annnnyyyyywayyy. He asked me to spell Rawtenstall and that he'd remember me and the town because we'd joked about it sounding like Rotten Stall.
Don;t forget that this was in the barren years for Moz.
So not only does it turn out that while I was in my bedroom listening to The Smiths, Moz was less that 10 minutes away but imagine my suprise when this showed up.

Happy Days.

Go to the main page of the general discussions and look at the 15th page of the "Unusual" photgraphs of Morrissey - thread, you'll see the article you were talking about! I started that discussion about 'Why is Moz lying on the floor?' and someone else posted that article!
mjp said:I have had my photo taken with Moz at the Birmingham NIA gig from 2004 - he was on stage and I was in the crowd - from the angle of the photo you can see both of us .
Sorry I know that's cheating but it's mathematically and scientifically correct .
no one in particular said:So, where is the photo?
That's Enough For Me said:Of the twice I've met Moz, I had pictures taken once.
How do you post them if they are simply on your pc and not hosted on another website?
mjp said:LOL - I'll upload it later today!
no one in particular said:I'll be back to look for it!!
That's Enough For Me said:Oh, in that case, here's one of mine.

This was taken on a rainy Manchester Saturday afternoon in January 1999. I was with Moz at his mum's house, which I think she has moved from now, I'm not sure. We talked about a lot of stuff, Specific song meanings, Tony Wilson, Rawtenstall, Dublin, Touring, Teenage feelings etc and we took a couple of pictures of which the above was one.
This was the first time I'd spoken to Moz directly and not through an intermediary and the major thing, being a fan myself, is that he didn't let me down. When he was talking to his mum and when he was talking to me he was exactly as I hoped he would be, funny, shy, extremely polite...almost to a fault.
We had one further occasion where we met at his mum's house about 18 months later and then the career re-ignited and he spent more time away. But I have nothing but good to speak of my personal experience of Moz and that goes for Boz, Alain, Gary, Linder, Jesse and even Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce whom I've been able to speak at some length to. I've never run into Johnny Marr.
The music...is another issue =)
