Hi there,
I thought maybe I should belatedly respond to some of the speculation on
the site about my forthcoming book.
1. The launch of the book has now been delayed until the middle of 2002.
Sorry...
2. Although the book is concerned with issues of sexuality, it also
contains an extensive examination of Morrissey's work within the context
of late-20th century pop culture. There's also a certain amount of stuff
concerning my personal relationship - as a fan - with Morrissey and his
work.
3. The book is NOT a dirt-dredging biography. I'm more interested in the
themes and issues which have erupted around Morrissey throughout his
career. I would definitely describe it as a real fan's book, and I
really hope you guys like it.
4. When the book appears, I'll be doing readings/discussions in Bristol,
Liverpool and London in the UK, and hopefully in New York, Los Angeles
and Toronto in North America.
5. If anyone has any queries, or would like to send me relevant
material, please email me at [email protected]
Have a fab Christmas!
Pat Reid

It was on "Fantastico" from Globo TV, in a segment about an LA store called "Baby Jane" or something like that. It sells movie star memorabilia (from obscure to sleazy). Apparently Moz, Courtney Love and Michael Jackson are customers. There was a two second snippet of him performing live.
Angelenos out there: if you see him, say hello.

Matthew Fawcett writes: I saw this on NME today (Dec. 17):
"The Charlatans Marr Fans' Christmas!" Excerpt:
...The former Smiths guitarist played on three tracks including classic Charlatans songs 'Weirdo' and long standing show closer 'Sproston Green'.
"It's an early Christmas present," Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess said introducing Marr, "Christmas rules."
and I thought of an article I'd read on moz solo...
Morrissey "a fool" according to Tim Burgess (The Charlatans) - Aug. 15, 2001.
Thats all, nothing exciting..

A few weeks ago, the bassist left and Rourke stepped in, then when the drummer left, two weeks ago, Joyce was asked to come along.

GurgleJerk writes: I know it's highly disposable information, but "Viva Hate" will be reissued in the UK on February 11. This according to Key Mail Order. No other details are known right now. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be something interesting. Then again...

Rob writes: Boz Boorer is playing one of his acoustic sets at Matt and Phreds Jazz Club in Manchetser on the 27th of January, 2002. Its the first time Boz has been back to the city since the Apollo date in '92 and the first solo date outside London, so some familiar faces should be around to greet him. A good local support is being lined up and another legendary performance is expected from the man.

While Christmas shopping I came across the soundtrack for "Not Another Teen Movie". Checked the song list and there was "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want," as done by a group called Muse. I noticed an asterisk by the song, which wasn't next to any of the others. Below, it read: "* Not in Film." Which figures.
Bastards.
Unable to resist, I bought the thing, and as expected it was like most Smiths covers. It only made me wanna listen to the real version. Ah well. I take it it's there because that song was in the Ferris Bueller movie.
