Here's a wee article on recent Morrissey news from Filter's on-line mag: Morrissey Shocks Letterman And Releases Deluxe Quarry by Ellen Houlihan | 11.17.2004 Morrissey is not one to be pacified. Throughout his tenure in the music business, Moz has spoken out on subjects ranging from animal rights, homosexuality and America’s stance on the war on terrorism. Last night, in a move similar but far paler in comparison to fellow Irish-blooded performer Sinead O’Connor’s controversial 1992 Saturday Night Live appearance, Morrissey added a new target to his seemingly endless list: the Catholic Church. In a rare performance on The Late Show with David Letterman, dressed in traditional Catholic priest regalia, consisting of a black suit, white collar and cross necklace, Morrissey and his bandmates, adorned in Jobraith t-shirts, an homage to the troubled 1970’s homosexual wannabe rockstar, introduced the crowd to a live rendition of “First of the Gang to Die” from Morrissey’s most successful album to date You Are the Quarry. Upon completion of the song, Morrissey made the sign of the cross across his body before the cameras cut away from the unusually dressed crooner. Dave graciously, although confusedly, greeted Moz with a “Thanks, Father.” --- Quentin writes: I have uploaded a screenshot of morrissey shaking hands with letterman from last night. Thought it would be good to have as an addition on the letterman story :)

Is the author trying to imply something here?
We can't say he's not well-informed, but what about the music?
It seems image and shock value is all that matter to the press nowadays...

What B.S.
The media is always trying to turn everything into a controversy.
Letterman wasn't "shocked."
It seemed like he got a chuckle out of it.
What's the big deal. Sheesh.

No one in the US even knows who Morrissey is, so please, shut up about it.

"The Catholic church has nothing in common with Christianity. I can remember being at school on Mondays and being asked; "Did you go to church yesterday?" And if you hadn`t been, you literally had your arms twisted off you. Its "We`ll sever your head for your own good, you`ll learn my son."" -Interview 1985
