I wanted to find out the origins of the phrase 'Troubled Joe' (Google search).

Doing so, I noticed the writer 'Quentin S. Crisp'(!) has claimed to be writing a story with that title (blog entry from 2006). inspired by A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours.

Further Googling uncovered this:

In “Troubled Joe”, a ghost tethered to this world by chains of resentment searches for someone to hear his story.

It seems like the story is going to see print, in a collection with a title that seems to be a reference from another Manchester musical legend.

Derek Erdman made this painting titled "Fortunate Teens Party With Morrissey, 1994."

Below is Erdman's fictional-story associated with the painting.

There is a seldom told story that Morrissey's tour bus broke down in small town Ohio in the autumn of 1994. A full day was necessary for the repairs to be completed and Morrissey and his band delighted local teenaged fans by stopping by a house party to drink beer and smoke marijuana. "It was the time of my life," remarks Tamara Marshall, who was hosting the party. "My parents were out of town and I was told not to have a party, but once Morrissey showed up I knew I wasn't going to be a secret for long." When asked what she remembered most about Morrissey's visit, Tamara answered, "He didn't like Rolling Rock beer".

I came by this article on BoingBoing.net... It's a mention of artist Derek Erdman who made this Morrissey painting titled "Fortunate Teens Party With Morrissey, 1994.

It's now available as a print.

There is a Morrissey after show party in The Reading Rooms, Blackscroft, Dundee, 5th May, 10.30-02.30, Admission £3. It will be a night of The Smiths and Morrissey and a little other related stuff. We would be greatful if you could come down and shake a leg even if you were not lucky enough to be at the gig!
