It's not just David Cameron anymore...! See today's Guardian article (11/04/06) "How on earth can the Tories like Morrissey?"

Excerpt:

Morrissey. There's a name you wouldn't expect to hear uttered by a Conservative, unless it was preceded by "The 80s pop star who most deserves flogging for his treasonously anti-Tory outbursts is . . ." Yet Tory bigwigs have been coming not to bury the quiffy moaner but to praise him.

David Cameron has already revealed himself as a Smiths fan and now Matthew d'Ancona, editor of the Spectator, has one-upped the Conservative leader by being photographed in the Observer with a copy of the new Morrissey album, Ringleader of the Tormentors. The CD is casually propped up on his desk and he even boasts that he has downloaded the album on to his equally casually displayed iPod. It's an over-egged tableau that says, "I'm hip, daddy-o."

Star Search Casting auditions

Audition Breakdown
I am producing a music video for an established indie band.

The concept calls for a brief appearance by a Morrissey double. Our preference is for an older Morrissey (as he appears today), however, we would consider a young looking Morrissey inpersonator as well. No singing or speaking is required, but if you can pull off the voice we might take that into consideration. The filming will occur in Chicago or Evanston and should require no more than one afternoon of your time. Shooting will occur in late May or early June.

I work a stone's throw away from The Lowry centre and I've just been in there; there is an exhibition of Morrissey portraits (by a local artist, sorry don't know the name) being shown in honour of his appearance at the Lowry Theatre next week.

The exhibition is on the 3rd floor of the Lowry Shopping Outlet, which is the building opposite the Lowry Theatre main entrance. I have been told by staff there that the portraits are for sale.
