"When fellow students asked, 'How can you be an officer and not hold to the Constitution?,' he'd get visibly upset - sweaty and nervous - and had no good answers."

But with his bold, elongated proclamations, Morrissey—who once was the U.K. branch president of the New York Dolls fan club—at least does justice to his passion for ’70s glam-rock.
