“You either can do it, or you can’t.”
– Destin Pfaff
Destin Pfaff came into the business of love reluctantly. It’s not that he doesn’t believe in the power of attraction, or the institution of marriage.

As such, Morrissey released a string of hold-over singles: “The Last of the Famous International Playboys,” “Interesting Drug,” and “Ouija Board, Ouija Board” all in 1989. Critical backlash at “Ouija Board” -as well as an ongoing royalty dispute with former Smiths band makes Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke – nearly derailed Morrissey’s solo career altogether.
