Now Showing | Linder Sterling’s Fashion Turn - NYTimes.com blog

Are you pleased that Lady Gaga is popularizing some of the aesthetic and conceptual concerns in your work?

Sterling: It makes me laugh when people like Gaga appropriate my ideas without understanding my intentions. But I guess it is flattering. Morrissey recently visited Lady Gaga after one of her shows. On her dressing room wall, in a silver Gothic frame, was a print of the collage that I made in 1977 of a woman with an iron as her head and smiling mouths over the nipples. Lady Gaga said to Morrissey, “I always decorate my dressing room with the images that I like.” If that collage is one of Gaga’s icons of inspiration — and we all need them, as much as air and water — then that’s great. But feminist history isn’t just a dressing-up box. Feigned cultural amnesia is never very attractive.

Another Morrissey Reference on Eastenders
The re-casted Lauren Branning shrugs off a trite suggestion from one of her friends, with the simple, but eternal line, 'Dial-A-Cliche'.

Morrissey mentioned in Vincent Minor song, "Late Night Show"
Morrissey is mentioned in a very clever way by emerging artist Vincent Minor in his new song, "Late Night Show"--from his debut/eponymous album out now! The singer proclaims a desire to "double-dutch with Morrissey"--! Check it out; Morrissey would be proud!

Here is a link to a live rehearsal of the song, and also the song properly:

The accidental DJ - by Christopher Toh, TODAYonline
Ex-Smiths bassist Andy Rourke gets his groove on

Excerpt:

- "When people interview me, they try to fish for me to say something nasty about The Smiths. But I had a good time all the time."

Yes, even the Spinal Tap moments. "I remember the first time we played a gig in New York, it was New Year's Eve, and Morrissey fell off the stage. He had to be picked up, and I think he actually cried.(Laughs) His glasses were a little bit bent out of shape, but he was okay."
