Strange/unexpected Moz references?

4ck sake, this is all we need, another hypochondriac in the Morrissey touring band 😂
All jokes aside, seen her play twice at Blackpool and Doncaster, With Mozz.
She’s pretty cool and sounds Fabtastic.
And looks Amazing.

THE SMITHS, ERIC CLAPTON, JEFF BECK, AND OTHERS | JOHN PORTER'S 1955 FENDER TELECASTER GUITAR

A 1955 Fender Telecaster solid body electric guitar, serial #6915, in butterscotch blond. Owned and played by John Porter, musician and producer who’s worked with a wide range of artists from Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh, and The Smiths –– all of whom have used this Telecaster on their records.

John originally purchased his so-called “Lucky” Telecaster from Pete Townsend’s guitar tech, Alan Rogan. It was featured on Porter’s work with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh, and Lucky Peterson.

According to Porter, Johnny Marr also played it on nearly every Smiths track Porter worked on, its chiming sound often attributed to guitarist Marr’s Rickenbacker. Marr used this guitar on the first Smiths record, and perhaps its most famous contribution to Smiths music history is that it was to record the slide guitar part on The Smiths’ “How Soon Is Now?”

The guitar features a 25.5” scale length maple neck with a 21 fret maple fingerboard and black dot position marker inlays. The neck has a pencil date of 6-55, indicating a mid-1955 production date. The neck plate bears the serial "6915" which fits within the 1955 model year. The ash body has a vintage-style bridge, a black pickguard, and was red and routed for a neck humbucker when Porter acquired it. Porter had it entirely refinished back to butterscotch by luthier Roger Giffin. There is still red present in the neck pocket and the rout has not been filled. Some electronic components have been changed including the pickups and volume potentiometer; switch and tone pot appear era-correct. Partially re-wired with enamel coated wire.

Includes modeled Fender hardshell case and a copy of Vintage Guitar Magazine from February 2008 which features this guitar (identified as a 1954 model).

Found this very interesting as both a Smiths and Clapton fan. I hadn't realised the significance of this guitar. Thanks.
 
looks ‘92.
 
While England Is Mine comes in 7th on Collider's list of worst music biopics,it's a pretty subjective call considering most got mixed reviews and have plenty of saving graces.

Personally, I enjoyed England Is Mine. Anyone who was "different" in the 1970s can tell you the movie was an accurate representation of the times and what Morrissey and the Smiths were up against. I think Set the Boy Free would make a better movie though.
 
I enjoyed England is Mine too. It was a nice little movie and although they took a few liberties with the events, they tried to include as much facts as possible. You can watch it with Morrissey in mind or enjoy it as a movie about the 70ies in dull Manchester.

In The Guardian's current rundown of Benedict Cumberbatch's best TV roles, there's a still of The Simpsons (no. 20) with the caption, "Quilloughby’, Cumberbatch’s character in The Simpsons. He was based on Morrissey, but the singer was not impressed."
