I have loved this man's music since I was 13...and now I'm 36! Saw him live for the first and only time in 1992 on the Your Arsenal tour. I'm going to see him in concert soon and I'm giddy like a teenager!!
This performance was the first time I was exposed to Morrissey. The next day I went looking for the album that had this song on it, and I couldn't find it - until two years later when he actually released it.
As much as I like this song, I can't imagine hearing this Morrissey before hearing the Smiths. My first exposure was a buddy with the compilation "The World Won't Listen", and it completely change the direction of my interest in music. Before that it was mostly Tool, The Beatles and Heatmiser, but then it was almost exclusively the Smiths for a good year.
"In America, The land of the free, they said, And of opportunity, In a just and a truthful way. But where the president, is never black, female or gay, and until that day, you've got nothing to say to me, to help me believe..." Awkwaaaaard

I still have not seen a better live version of this song than the one on this show.
I love Morrissey since I was 12. That's what the first time I saw him on Saturday night live on SNL.1992
'You have never been in love until you have seen the dawn rise behind the home for the blind.' - Incredible.
he had morrisey on for a full week the one time. those were the days of the late late show
Wow! Great interview, part 1, and great performance. Kilborne really appreciates & understands Moz.
Masterpiece

I like his top!
weird, I just happened to watch this, and it happens to be 10 years old to the day according to the description.
No, Morrissey has been performing this song since 2002. A recorded version of this song wasn't available until 2004.
"And he stole from the rich, and the poor, and the not very rich and the very poor"

Yup.
The thinking man's Buddy Holly - ahhh..hey ah..hey! - SHITE!!
