Nineteen years ago today (8 June 2007), Morrissey delivered one of the standout performances of his Greatest Hits tour at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The performance was released in February 2008 as a bonus live disc on his Greatest Hits compilation album.

"It was twenty years ago today..."
Morrissey released “The Youngest Was the Most Loved” on 5 June 2006. The single reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart. The song remains one of the more curious and divisive recordings of Morrissey's solo career.

Released 25 years ago today, The Very Best of The Smiths was a record company compilation assembled without the approval or involvement of Morrissey or Johnny Marr. Both dismissed the release, ridiculed the artwork, and urged fans to ignore it.

Today marks the 63rd birthday of Mike Joyce, whose drumming provided one half of the extraordinary rhythmic foundation beneath the sound of The Smiths. Happy Birthday to Mike Joyce!!

Released 23 years ago today in the UK (26 May 2003), Under the Influence is a curated various-artists compilation of Morrissey’s personal favorite tracks. Under the Influence plays like a personal mixtape that Morrissey shared with his fans, offering insight into the artist.

@TurnbullDa488 You speak like a man of experience with the “tosser” paradigm.

Happy Birthday to the only man who could make despair danceable, celibacy seductive, and gladioli more dangerous than swords. At 67, he remains gloriously overdressed for the modern world, which is perhaps why the modern world continues to deserve him so little.
