Y107 DJ wants his wine money back

Thanks to a.m. for the following:

...today I was listening to Y107 in Los Angeles and one of the DJs was talking about how he saw Morrissey in a restaurant in LA. He and some of his friends decided to send Mozzer a bottle of wine so they asked the waiter what their most expensive bottle of wine was and they sent it to him. They told the waiter, 'tell him it's from fans and friends.' Morrissey apparently did not respond to anything, didn't say a thing. The DJ (don't know his name) started talking about how rude Morrissey was and kept saying he wanted Morrissey to pay him for his wine on the radio. I think Morrissey just doesn't like wine.

It sounds like this the DJ was trying to impress his friends by disturbing Moz while he was enjoying his dinner. I don't blame Moz at all for ignoring the guy. There is probably a 95% chance that this DJ was being obnoxious. Think about most of the DJs you hear on the radio...they're fools.

And Morrissey wonders why people hate him.

Well, Moz is known for liking a bit of wine now and then, but I think I have to agree with Roy that it was probably sent by an annoying DJ

I'll always love Mozzer's music, but he can tend to be a bit of an ingrate. How is sending over a bottle of wine "being obnoxious"? Give me a break!

you didn't even thank me because you never do

oh I forgot to mention something that cracked me up so hard. my rad friend sent Moz a bill this summer. she wants all the money back she ever spent on him. she made it like an authentic bill. I almost died laughing because I know how unfunny it must've seemed to mobo.

Let's not call Moz an ingrate and let's not call the DJ obnoxious. You weren't there so you don't know.

Re: You Didn't Even Thank Me...
Maybe the actual act of a waiter carrying a bottle of wine to Morrissey was not obnoxious. But, just maybe the DJ was acting like an a**hole
so Moz ignored him.

Or maybe, Moz just waved a thank you and the DJ thought he should have come over personally SAID thank you. And when Moz didn't, the DJ was embarrassed in front of his friends for being treated like the non-celebrity that he is. So he decided to embellish the story a bit, and make it a nice little anecdote for his radio show.

Of course, I am totally speculating on what might of happened. But, we only have 1 side of the story. And I would rather give Moz, the benefit of the doubt. Especially considering that WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A DJ!!

if the d.j. himself said he had the waiter say it was "from a fan" (or friend or whatever...) how would good ol' morrissey even know who it was from??

severe lamitude on the part of the dj. a gift is not so if not selfless. sour grapes all around.

We're talking about a Y-107 DJ. All the new ones are obnoxious!! I HATE THEM ALL!! 'Cept Evan... he's pretty cool. Jessie is especially annoying along with the Harrisson Crew and that stupid morning show. WE WANT ANDY BACK!! OK, I think I'm done. HANG THE DJ!

Forget about this silly story that no one really knows about. Let's hang the DJ's in Philly and NJ. I would kill for ANY DJ who would just once play a Morrissey song!!!! Where is WDRE now? At least they were good for one or two a week. (even Dial-A-Cliche once, if you can believe it.) Burn down the disco! Hang the BLOODY DJ!
