Singer and angry vegan Morrissey says that his show at Madison Square Garden on June 27 will be totally meat-free, which is news to MSG vendors, according to the New York Post. Rolling Stone published an open letter Morrissey wrote to Al Gore and other organizers of Live Earth, a series of international benefit concerts […]
Here’s a cute Monopoly parody game by @troubledmozza, replete with Morrissey references. Brought to our attention by WFMU, the Morrisseyopoly’s locales include “cemetery” and “the fountain.” You can “START: something you couldn’t finish” and progresses to “FIND A JOB: feel miserable” for an appropriately discouraging experience. A few days later, the same account posted another “game” based on Smiths references, this one […]

An illustrator and designer who goes by Billy Butcher gave a bunch of ’80s punks and rock stars a DC Comics makeover, turning Morrissey into Superman, Ian Curtis into Batman, Siouxee into Wonder Woman, and slew of others.
