August 31, 1978:
19 year-old Steven Morrissey first meets guitarist Johnny Marr,
the one who will launch Morrissey’s career several years later
by aggressively enlisting him to co-found a band: The Smiths.

August 31, 1997:
19 years to-the-day since Morrissey met guitarist Johnny Marr,
Princess Diana is killed under circumstances foreshadowed
in Morrissey’s work, beginning with an album by The Smiths.

And that’s just the beginning.

Here we are at Wednesday again, and you know what that means. Once more into the depths, my friends, exploring the strange coincidences and conspiracies that form the underbelly of our suburban existence. This week: a precognitive musician.

For your own safety, heed carefully the following standard boilerplate:

So. Go watch the video. Then come back and tell me that ain’t freaky stuff.

Morrissey predicted Diana’s death. I mean, that’s the only logical explanation. How else can you explain that Diana died by smashing into a pillar, huh? Or the Diana on the deathbed? I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t quite follow that particular train of logic, but it must be legit.

But in the end, the question everyone who ever loved the Queen of People’s Hearts must ask themselves it this: Does Alma really matter?

Fellow conspirators and conspiracists (there’s a difference), I’d love to hear who you know was behind the Princess’s death. Who knows? Maybe your comments will make it into a future edition of Way-out Wednesday.
