“Fortunate Teens Party With Morrissey, 1994”

There is a seldom told story that Morrissey’s tour bus broke down 
in small town Ohio in the autumn of 1994. A full day was necessary 
for the repairs to be completed and Morrissey and his band delighted 
local teenaged fans by stopping by a house party to drink beer and 
smoke marijuana. “It was the time of my life,” remarks Tamara 
Marshall, who was hosting the party. “My parents were out of town and 
I was told not to have a party, but once Morrissey showed up I knew I 
wasn’t going to be a secret for long.” When asked what she remember-
ed most about Morrissey’s visit, Tamara answered, “He didn’t like 
Rolling Rock beer”.
