Morrissey #4 in USA Today's List of the 100 People of 2004

[Lazy Dyke]

4. Morrissey. Was this year of magnificent musical comebacks or what? Moz may have a few gray hairs in those sideburns, but otherwise he's the same fellow we grew up idolizing and quoting until we were sent to the counselor's office. On You Are the Quarry, he greets us with a pin-striped suit and a Tommy gun ... and tells America where to "shove your hamburgers."

Next door neighbours in the top four. What are the chances of that then?

USA Today is a newspaper

If you can even call it that. It's the largest selling(?) paper in the US, marketed to the blind masses who are looking for superficial fluff. Sorry to say. On the plus side, it is read by the public at large, so many millions will see his name on this list. Another spike in sales for YATQ?
