Morrissey. One miserable dude.

He inspired two Take That! songs:
"Getting Away With It" by Electronic and "Miserablism" by Pet Shop Boys.

Electronic were Johnny Marr (ex-Smiths) and Barney Sumner out of New Order, plus (uncredited, IIRC) Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys.

of Beta?

Is he not the master of Beta?

I'd answer if I knew what that meant.

Why do you hang around?

I believe he's actually standing on Victory Road near Morrissey Boulevard, and the sign is just twisted.

Anyone got a picture of Ian Curtis on Curtis Street in Eastie?

Ian Curtis committed suicide shortly before what would have been Joy Division's first North American tour.

in Waltham?

On Hibbert Street in Lexington?

Eddy Grant on Electric Avenue in Allston? Cyndi Lauper on the street that intersects it, (Goonies 'R') Goodenough Street?

Good God!!

That explains why the song wasn't Space Savers will Tear Us Apart.

How about Actor Daniel Day Lewis standing and eating a conoli in "Day Square" in Eastie.

That's Westminster Dodge, now JD Byrider in the background.

Of course as a play on the location it would be nice to get fellow Mancunian Shaun (By)Ryder there today.

how about Jamie Lee Curtis doing a scream on Curtis Street in eastie?

Ian McCulloch at McCulloch Hall in Allston?

... prancing about on Prince Street. Or maybe serving up some spaghetti.

...ever on Harrison Ave.?

On Bennett Street (Cambridge) ... he's old enough it could actually have happened sometime

Believe it or not, Tony Bennett actually performed at the Middle East in Cambridge (back in the 90s, I think), so it is not inconceivable he went down Bennett Street.

... to Lynn?
