In the Jeff Buckley biography "Deam Brother," there is a mention of Jeff's March 17, 1994 concert at the 50-seat coffeehouse called Bunjie's in London's Covent Garden district. Jeff was not yet the new MTV phenom that he would become a couple of months later. At Bunjie's, the book states: "As he walked into the space, Jeff passed white roses out to the audience. While doing so, he made a reference to a British pop legend that further endeared him to the crowd: 'You must think I'm Morrissey.'" I already knew that Jeff was a fan of Morrissey due to bootlegs of Jeff's cover of "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side," as well as his cover of "I Know It's Over" on the "Mystery White Boy" album. But the one question I have about this anecdote is do most British music fans really think Morrissey is a "pop legend" as the book proposes? I had always heard differently.

why not a pop legend? (Score:1)
I'm massively attached to Jeff Buckley's music, and can't help speculating that he and Morrissey must have met. Seeking Morrissey out would be the kind of thing that Jeff would have done, I think.
