Brutalful writes: Last night I went to a premiere party for "Things Behind The Sun", a new movie by Allison Anders that will soon be playing on SHOWTIME. Morrissey references pop up all over this movie! In one of the flashback scenes, a character is wearing a "Queen Is Dead" T-Shirt. Towards the end of the film, they play "Back to The Old House", but it is a cover version, by someone named Mike Johnson... Then in the end of the movie Morrissey is thanked in the credits.
It is a really sad movie about a girl who is brutally gang raped as a kid and then is all messed up because of it... It was pretty depressing.--- It premieres tonight (Aug. 18) at 9pm on Showtime. Additional "Things Behind The Sun" (2001) info at IMDb.

Warren Allen Smith writes: On the Web, Celebrity Atheists states that Morrissey is a non-believer. However, I would like to confirm this for a paperback I am in the process of writing (CELEBRITIES IN HELL, which will start with Steve and Woody Allen and go on to Peter Ustinov and Frank Zappa--in short, the good guys where theologians who invented Hell would send there . . . but Hell is non-existent.
So far, all I have is the following, which will appear between listings for Yehudi Menuhin and Jim Morrison if I can develop the listing:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Morrissey [Steven Patrick Morrissey] (22 May 1959- )
Morrissey, a recording artist, has gone on record as being a non-theist.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But I need (a) confirmation of the birthdate, and (b) any documentation where Morrissey has said he is an agnostic, atheist, rationalists, freethinker, Unitarian, pragmatist, or whatever. Or a note from Morrissey himself to me at 31 Jane Street (10-D), New York, NY 10014.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

[14 August 2001]
.::.: New Johnny Marr interview
Johnny Marr played with Neil Finn at the Witnness festival in Ireland. Included in the set was "There's a light that never goes out", described by fan Donal Flanagan as "pretty brilliant stuff". You can find an interview with Johnny Marr on the official Witnness festival website.

ps: as far as I'm concerned, if it's not Moz singing it it's just another cover.
