Morrissey was recently mentioned in a crazewire interview with Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy (see link below). In the interview, Wentz is asked about naming his book, "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side", and if he is a fan of the Smiths. He replies, "Oh, absolutely. I love their music. It kind of bothers me that it's so en vogue to like The Smiths and Morrissey right now. Lately, it's kind of weird because every sixteen-year-old on the planet talks to me about them. The thing that's so bizarre to me is that Morrissey's not cool. People are obsessed with him, but he's this person that represents all these parts of me that I think are uncool and lame while, at the same time, endearing and quarky. I'm sure it won't always be cool to like him, but I always will." The full article can be found here.

what kind of bothers me is that all these lame "pop punk" bands act like they are the creative offspring of the smiths/morrissey. if he had really touched you that dearly and you really took him in as an influence, you wouldn't be playing such banal music that caters primarily to the very "16 year olds" you seem to be poking fun at.
