I shot this photo in early 2008 while walking around NYC. This was only a few weeks after the then current administration has signed the United States Allegiance to Morrisey Act 2008 into law in their reactionary efforts to get a nation full of whiny emo kids to just shut the hell up already. As you know the act basically made it illegal to do anything except worship every sound that ever came out of Morrisey’s mouth and generally rambled on for 173 pages about what a genius the guy was. This hastily written voice of dissent was the epitome of what many Americans where thinking, but too afraid to say. While it was revoked a few months later, those 4 months when it was in effect were unforgettable.
I still make whomever I can listen to “Morrisey Rides a Cockhorse” by the Warlock Pinchers whenever possible.
