In the Dec 2nd issue of NOW Magazine (a Toronto weekly) there is a brief interview with El Vez in which he mentions Morrissey a few times, here are the snippets:

"We (El Vez and Morrissey) only did a couple of shows together," offers Lopez (El Vez's real name) from his Los Angeles home, "and he was nice -- just very, very shy. Ridiculously shy. He didn't say much to me other than that he was at our first London show and he has all my records."

"In interviews, he kept telling everyone I was his favourite artist and he wanted to steal ideas from me. So near the end of his performances he'd put on a shirt with Mexico on it and he'd change the lyrics of a song and sing something about being a Mexican."

"He asked me to open for him in the UK, but I couldn't do it because dates conflicted with my Christmas shows."
