Video of the Day: Morrissey’s Latino devotees

While we recommend that you check out this interview of former Mexican president Vicente Fox on “The Daily Show” last night, today’s VOTD focuses on music.

As we mentioned a few months ago, English crooner Morrissey enjoys a cult status amongst Latinos in the U.S. (including yours truly). On Sunday “Noticiero Telemundo” delved into that and examined several issues such as Moz’ connection to the Latino culture. Morrissey himself was briefly interviewed for the report as well as Jose Maldonado- lead singer of The Smiths cover group Sweet and Tender Hooligans.

Most of the video is conducted in Spanish so we’ll try to transcribe it later.
