Canadian writer Jon Paul Fiorentino features Morrissey fan

Jon Paul Fiorentino, Morrissey fan and writer, curates videos of a Morrissey fan with a special gift:

“Je Suis Morrissey” - Jon Paul Fiorentino

Excerpt:

Fran is a 51 year old woman from Germantown, Maryland. I accidentally stumbled upon her Morrissey covers when I was looking for guitar tabs. On her YouTube profile, you will find 9 or so acoustic covers of Morrissey and Smiths songs, as well as various fan clips of Morrissey and a few clips of her cat playing with a toy mouse. I assumed that her versions of “Suedehead” and “Please, Please, Please…” would be excrutiatingly bad. And they are excrutiating, but in a completely different sense. These are very emotive, heart-wrenching clips. They exhibit the acute intensity of fandom coupled with genuine musical talent. Her voice is strong and her guitar playing is fairly good.

Smiths to reform!... at least that is the backdrop of Tore Renbergs new novel to be released in Norway later this year. Renberg is the author of the book and the script to the film "Mannen som elsket Yngve", both the book and the film was a success in norway (...which means that no one has heard of them in the rest of the world!!) The novel is a sequel of the "Yngve" book and apparently one of the scenes is set at the Øyafestival 10th.of august 2006 where Smiths is set to perform. Fact is that on that date his mozness was actually performing at the øyafestival!!

Here is a link to the story.
a link to a trailer for the film.
a link to the actual concert.
