When:

Short story:

Morrissey, former leader of The Smiths, releases his solo debut album, Viva Hate!

Full article:

Suzanne Vega : I really like Morrissey because he is so deliberately perverse. I'm not as antagonistic about my shyness but I can see certain parallels. Morrissey has the shyness market pretty well cornered in that respect, because if you have any sympathy with shy people at all you're just completely drawn to him. Then when you go to see him on stage and he just kind of dances around, taking off his clothes, I just go, WHOOOOA! MORRISSEY! I willingly give myself up to it. I become very fan-like, overcome with unnatural desire! If we were put in a room together I think that I would... break the ice!
