Re: It was Twenty Five Years Ago Today!!!
...Longish story ( I have osted it before, somewhere on here..), I will gladly re-tell it again soon, as I am busy today.....thanks for you interest!
I've save you the trouble
...It's time the tale were told...........
I was on date with a lady called Pat once in Liverpool ( August 11th, 1987)
And as we were leaving the Adelphi Hotel, I almost bumped into Morrissey.
I was so shocked/surprised at seeing him, I blurted out rather stupidly "You're the singer from the Smiths, aren't you?".....( I think they were in the process of splitting up at the time...).
I asked him to please wait, as I wanted to go back into the hotel, and get some paper, so I could get an autograph.....
The receptionist was a stuffy cow who said I couldn't have a piece, as I was not a paying guest....So, I tore my Cigarette packet into pieces, and Morrissey gave me 3 autographs ( 2 extras, for friends, who were Smiths fans too...)
All the time, A person ( male, unknown name...)who Morrissey was with, kept moaning at him to leave us.....But Morrisey was very nice and patient.....Pat, The lady I was with, had NO idea who Morrissey was, but she Hugged him, and kissed him anyway ( yes, Pat was like that...). She got Morrissey to autograph her arm ( I still have the Sacred pen...)
I shook his hand and off he/they walked.....
Pat asked me if I wanted to follow, ( she could tell I was still "Gobsmacked" at meeting him),but I decided I had done all I ever wanted to....I met him, shook his hand, got his autograph, told him he was a genius.....so we just carried on with our night out....
Very nice fella indeed, in my opinion...
Pat finished the night by wiping the signature off her arm With a Wet bar towel!!!
tbh I'm more intrigued about who he was with than anything else? What did he look like? Friend? Releatve? Accountant? Lawyer?
