Today's Manchester Evening News (Sat 14th) is reporting that Andy Rourke may be facing a bankruptcy action brought about by the Inland Revenue.

and from Iain:

... there was a small bit in today's Sun newspaper saying that Andy Rourke has been declared bankrupt by the courts, so basically he is penniless.

According to the Tampere Club Guide (Finland) there is the "3rd Rockabilly extravaganza" in club Tulliklubi Saturday the 27th of February. It features The Deltas (UK), Jack Baymoore & The Bandits (Swe), Boz Boorer! (UK), Moonshiner, Rollovers & Van Go. The tickets are FIM 110 a piece. That's about $20 I guess. And advances are sold in Tullinbaari and Epe´s.

Here are Boz's mini tour dates:

3/25 - San Diego / Tio Leo's
3/27 - Los Angeles / Bowlerama
4/02 - Las Vegas / Gold Coast Casino
4/10 - San Francisco / Elbow Room

He is playing with Sonny George. All rockabilly.

My friend Jeremy Harmon draws comics for the college here. He is a long time Morrissey/Smiths fan as I am also. Well, he drew this, I think its pretty damn funny, and asked me if I would scan and send it to you, so you could post it on your site; he doesn't own a computer. You should be able to notice all the many little Morrissey references that he put in it, if you're a fan. The T. REX shirt; the word BAD written on Jeremy; the puppy Morrissey is holding; etc. etc...

Side note: The Alpha Phi that he mentions in the comic are all uptight now and they are taking measures to get him removed from the paper. Doesn't that suck?? They all need to get a life... It's just a comic and he's not even making fun of them.

Here is a Morrissey drawing I did a while back called "Morrissey On Que"... I hope you and anyone else enjoys it. I also encourage everyone to visit my band Adrift's web page at "http://listen.to/adrift"... We are obsessively influenced by Morrissey and others.

Guardian UK - Fatboy Slim interview - he said everybody gets depressed, either you get over it or you become a Morrissey fan...

Set your VCR... Thurs. on Turner Classic Movies. As you know Morrissey used the song "Jerusalem" from this movie during the Southpaw tour...
