Radio DJ taken hostage, forced to play The Smiths
Comment: Rumour has it that in Denver in 1987 a teenager held a disc-jockey hostage
for 4 hours and forced him to play nothing but The Smiths. Denver may not be the right city because i think the first time i heard this years ago that another city was indicated.

They should make a movie out of it. Call it FM or something....

This is most likely a UL. Someone probably made it up. If so, he or she may have been inspired by the Clint Eastwood 1971 movie, Play Misty for Me. It has a similar theme. Only it is a woman and not a kid who intimidates a DJ to play the song, "Misty" for her.

So would this be Play Morrissey for Me, then?

Poor b*****d! It would have been kinder to just give the DJ a gun and a box of bullets.

If this had happened in the UK, I imagine that there would have been panic on the streets of London.

I'm not sure we should rush to condemn the teenager. Perhaps he was polite, and said "Please, please, please, let me get what I want".

Did he spend Friday night in outpatients, I wonder?
Still, I have no sympathy for the DJ. The music they constantly play, says nothing to me about my life.

It could have been worse: he could have burned down the disco.

Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before but Is It Really So Strange? Perhaps he had a Girlfriend in a Coma and needed somewhere to Stretch Out and Wait. Frankly Me Shankley I do hope the Wonderful Woman isn't Still Ill.
Don't worry- I'll get it.  PS Spot the ex eighties goth girl. Morrissey's whining wail was the soundtrack of my youth.....

Me, I was lucky. A good friend turned me on to Half-man, Half-biscuit so I "Never went through a Smith's phase "
Blessed be Mitch Benn. I think it must have been when I was fourteen I had turned on my radio when A peculiar voice sang with Mancunian twang About how he was miserable then I sat through the song as he droned on and on Like some pale intellectual outlaw And when he was done I thought "That wasn't much fun That feller wants to get out more" And even now my friends are all amazed When I tell them that I never went through a Smiths phase I was just the right age at just the right stage Just one city along to the west Though I could tell Johnny Marr sure could play that guitar I was never that deeply impressed My more sensitive friends thought I was round the bend And started looking at me down their noses As they sat in the dark I thought "Sod that for a lark" Went home and cranked up Guns N' Roses And people are still startled nowadays When I tell them that I never went through a Smiths phase They're the same ones who gaze at me in fear and dread When I say I can't be arsed with Radiohead
