I would like to inform you that Still Ill, the Greek Fan club  of The Smiths / Morrissey & Marr are throwing a party on the occasion of Morrissey's birthday.

The event will take place at:

Decadence Club
Boulgaroktonou & Poulxerias
Lofos Strefi
Athens, Greece

on the 21st of May

Doors open at 11:00pm / bring flowers!

Of course, everyone is welcome. Some 60-70 tapes with rare recordings will be given away, and chances are that some lucky fans will leave with an extra Smiths or Mozzer T-shirt!

On Saturday, I watched Grandstand (Saturday afternoon's sports programme on BBC One), and in Football Focus, there was a ten-minute report on Manchester City's push for promotion to the First Division.

The music played in the background was: first 'How Soon Is Now', then at the end, 'Please Please Let Me...'! Now, of course Johnny Marr is a Manchester City supporter, but as for Morrissey... well, not exactly!

From Paul Nightingale:

On Football Focus (BBC 1) on Saturday 15th May, there was a short profile on Manchester City who have reached the playoffs after some bad seasons. They showed some footage of the season over 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want', probably just for the 'good times for a change' lyric.

I thought he supported Manchester United.

From Stefan Johnsson, another painting, this one titled "A Boy In The Bush". Also check out Stefan's Morrissey art site for more.

There is a book of philosophy called Oscillate Wildly. It is advertised at this site.
