His list of famous encounters is almost as impressive as mine

 

[goinghome]

A glitterati list, probably too long to fit in a song. Could we come up with a list as long between us? Is nostalgia involved, as per these notes? https://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/morrissey-and-nostalgia.151863/

 

[Lucifer Sam]

Some definite surprises on this. Mel Gibson? Pete Townshend is the standout revelation. I didn't know Morrissey had much interest in the Who, but maybe he just liked Townshend's persona when he met him.

Wha? Moz and Mel isn't a revelation. Here with Tom Jones.

 

[Amsden]

A little surprised seeing patti at 27. And relieved to not see certain names on here too (ahem r brand).

 

[nicky wire's legs]

Moz and Mel look like brothers there!

 

[ACTON]

Didn't Tom Hanks go backstage to meet Moz once? And Joaquin Phoenix and Heather Graham (Hollywood High blu-ray). Not to mention Alan Bennett. What about Dirk Bogarde? I know Johnny Depp lived next door in L.A. but blanked Moz so no handshake there.

 

[nicky wire's legs]

Writing a list of your most prized meetings seems a bit autistic

Well surely it's not an exhaustive list, just a most prized list. I doubt Heather Graham would make it on such a list.

 

[Nut Rition]

What in the world? He's Morrissey, can't he meet anyone he wants? Anyway, little anecdotes of each meeting would make a nice book.

 

[ACTON]

Ehhh what about Sinéad O'Connor and Brett Anderson. And Robert Smith & Mark E Smith whose hands he shook as he tried to line them up to get shot with the one bullet. That list is only half a list. What about Larry King. Jonathan Ross. Cornelius Carr (where we have PROOF of hand shaking on the Boxers video). Awww come on!

 

[nicky wire's legs]

Ehhh what about Sinéad O'Connor and Brett Anderson.

That's what I was thinking!!!!!!!

Joan Collins but not sexybrett?!? Rubbish list.

 

[Les Tameside]

The meeting with Tom Hanks didn’t go so great, if I recall correctly (someone wrote about it). Or I should say it didn’t seem to go well for Tom Hanks. Morrissey was perfectly happy to ignore him.

 

[ACTON]

Anyways I hate to be pedantic but you're nobody unless you've shook the furry paw of General Ursus from Planet Of The Apes (and lived to tell the tale). Ursus likes humans so long as they know their place so he and our Moz would get along well.

 

[Famous when dead]

Was Luchiani Pavarotti a relative of Luciano's?

 

[theprivilegeismine]

Was Luchiani Pavarotti a relative of Luciano's?

I thought it looked weird, but I'm not much of a Pavarotti fan so I wouldn't really know.

 

[Johnny]

Some definite surprises on this. Mel Gibson? Pete Townshend is the standout revelation. I didn't know Morrissey had much interest in the Who, but maybe he just liked Townshend's persona when he met him.

I'm sure there was once a rumour of doing a cover of 'Can't Explain' by The Who and also a mention of wanting an Alan Whyte co-write on Maladjusted to sound like The who.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

 

[Lujan369]

We still need to name among others :: singer of Rem, the fool of Russell...?.,Johnny Marr ha ha, ha, haha, Leo Garcia!! ha ha Lady Gaga.. How many would like to be on the list of those photographed with Morrissey? I do
