Due to being a 21 year old American, when Moz was at the prime of his career, I hadn't known about him. I was too young to know about the Smiths, and when Moz had his solo career in the '90s, I was either too young or the craze didn't reach me in small town America.
I got introduced to him from my fiance, who's 11 years my senior, who loves The Smiths and Moz. We used to sit in his living room and just listen to The Smiths, as he didn't have cable. I was hooked on the music from the second I first heard 'Hand in Glove', and was even more intriuged by Morrissey. It did not take me long to borrow all of his Morrissey cds (he has all of them until the 2000s), and purchase the one he didn't have (YATQ) and buy ROTT the first day it came out.
I am now catching up and watching all the performances and interviews of the past 20 years I missed on youtube. I wish I was a part of it when it was all new! I fear I will never see him live in concert. It sounds like such an amazing experience.
