The year was 1992 and Morrissey was probably on tour for his album Your Arsenal when he made a stop at a little independent music store for an autograph session. The now defunct Record Rack formerly at Shepherd and West Alabama was the site for this pandemonium. Fans camped for hours in the sweltering July heat for a chance to see their idol. Some were so overcome with emotion they could barely conduct an interview, like the guy at about 5:20 into the video. The video is about seven and a half minutes and culls news stories from local TV stations. It also has an annoying "trial version" watermark throughout but is a great flashback nonetheless.
