For the debate on how Morrissey feels about people who pop up on his doorstep, i found this excerpt of an interview in the website the Arcane Old Wardrobe, published by NME in 1991:
The door bell rings once. Morrissey looks uncomfortable.
"I can't imagine who that is, we'll just have to ignore it. But they may not go away. It happens."
There is no second ring but Morrissey is clearly alarmed.
"Some people sit and ring and ring and ring. And circle the house and peer through the windows. It's very tedious and very embarrassing because I don't know why they do it.
"I often think that if people really liked me and understood me and appreciated me they'd ring once and go away. But the people who persist, and believe me this happens everyday, well I don't really have anything to say to those people. To me that's not adoration, it's complete rudeness. How would you feel if I stood outside your garden gate and called your name out everyday?"
