A few weeks ago my brother and a friend of his decided to go to LA. "It was a huge difference from dismal NYC" my brother says. On their last night there, they went to a bar on the sunset strip... its name I will not give... and decide to have a few drinks. After quite a while of downing tequila shots, my brother decides that it is time he uses the little boys room. When he steps in he sees a man bent over a white porcelain sink, who appears to be sobbing. My brother - who is quite shy - goes over to the man, taps him on the back and asks "Are you crying? Can I help you with anything?". The man stands up straight and turns toward my brother wiping his teary eyes. My brother - who has been a fan of Morrissey/The Smiths since his early teens - recognises the man's face in a split second (although very red and "heated looking")... It is the man himself! Morrissey. My brother has waited for this day for so long... to finally meet his idol. "Oh my God!" my brother exclaims. "Why are you crying? Are you OK?". Morrissey looks confused. "Crying?" he asks, "I was laughing." My brother is relieved. "You see", says Moz, "a young woman sitting in a booth behind me threw up all over her date's front!" My brother and Morrissey share a laugh, and my brother asks - his shyness is gone by now - if Morrissey would like a to join him in a drink. "I'd be pleased" is his answer. "... But please, let me pay." My brother says "No, I'll pay... you have no idea how much your music means to me." But Morrissey won't give in. "Consolation", he says with a smile, "is worth more to me than anything on earth... even if you were mistaken."

Moz did a double-take when he saw my brother's friend and said "Bob? Is that you?" My brother's friend (Joey) didn't catch on at first and kept fixing his hair. Moz reached out and touched Joey's sleeve and pleaded "Bob?" Joey said, no, that wasn't his name. Moz said "Oh, you look just like a dear old friend of mine named Bob, who was killed tragically when we were teenagers."
Joey tried to console him and then went back to fixing his hair (killer pompadour - Joey's in a rockabilly band). Well, then Moz broke down again. He had fallen to his knees and was tugging at Joey's leg...

I would love to console Morrissey because he was crying and then he´d just turn over and say, with a messianic look, that he was just laughing!

2- People who go like "it`s ok davidt,go ahead, post fantastic rumors and 'I met Moz' stories, you made my day etc" are irresponsible dimwits who seem to care nothing for the truth or for the credibility of this site, not to mention Morrissey's integrity;
3- I understand there's not much news right now, but there must be some criteria to post stories; I mean, if someone sends an email saying "what up dawg, I just saw Moz chillin' with his posse in Compton" or "Morrissey's dating Cameron Diaz" etc, will the stories be automatically seen as fact too?
4- I'd much rather have davidt himself tell us a little more about how Morrissey is, what He's up to etc. davidt seems to be a serious and well-connected person, so hey, speak up webmaster!

What is an urban legend?
Peter van der Linden and Terry Chan seem to think in their alt.folklore.urban FAQ:
"An urban legend:
appears mysteriously and spreads spontaneously in varying forms
contains elements of humor or horror (the horror often "punishes" someone who flouts society's conventions).
makes good storytelling.
does NOT have to be false, although most are. ULs often have a basis in fact, but it's their life after-the-fact (particularly in reference to the second and third points) that gives them particular interest."

A certified letter from all parties involved including the bathroom attendant?
I believe the story, but do not understand why anyone would even feel inclined to share the experience with anyone other than a few close friends. Inevitably someone decides to share his/her encounter they might have had with Morrissey, and then the nay-sayers and non-believers come out swinging. So the debate that goes nowhere continues and fills up space on a great website.
For those that question David's judgement in posting this story, I challenge you to start your own site and become the chief editor, gather stories and news from all over the globe and keep hundreds of people checking in daily waiting for an update. Good luck!!

By the way my friends mate's, brother's, uncle knew mozz when he was at school.
Apparently he was good at art but his time-keeping was poor and he spent a lot of the time in the toilets.
Still awaiting the signing of a deal.
