I know...I saw the pic and an early micheal stipe came to my mind. i dont hate that band,I just dont care for them. I like some of their early stuff,but they're crap now. I know what you mean,mike wants to be morrissey in the worst way. I know they're friends,which is even more scary. i remember reading one time that he(moz),micheal stipe and courtney love(why??),were hanging out drinking tea and eating at some restaurant on melrose a few years back. Thats scary. He(stipe0 was quoted in a recent mag about a dance move he did on stage and he said something like("I saw morrissey do it at a show,so i thought id try it")...or something to that effect.
