Morgan Merryweather is a stereotype of a pompous classical music afficionado, interspersing the tracks with references to his refined lifestyle. | ||
In [[1986]] he phones in to [[K-CHAT]] during [[Claude Maginot|Claude Maginot's]] interview, discussing Maginot's performance in the play ''In the Future, There Will Be Robots''. In 1998 he phones into Double Clef FM to complain about the program's present quality and host [[Sergio Boccino]]. Strangely, Morgan complains of the amount of music Sergio plays from Italian composers, yet Morgan plays the exact same amount of Italian music when he replaces Sergio in GTA III. | In [[1986]], the setting of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], he phones in to [[K-CHAT]] during [[Claude Maginot|Claude Maginot's]] interview, discussing Maginot's performance in the play ''In the Future, There Will Be Robots''.

By 2001, Morgan had replaced Boccino as host of Double Clef FM. His cultural references, however, are often incorrect. For instance, he at one point likens a piece of music to "Fellini's Lolita." Lolita was written by Vladimir Nabokov, and adapted for film once by Stanley Kubrick and again by Adrian Lyne. Federico Fellini never turned the book into a film. Moreover, Merryweather notes that he spent a summer "reading Proust in the original Italian." Marcel Proust wrote in French, not Italian. | By 2001, Morgan had replaced Boccino as host of Double Clef FM. His cultural references, however, are often incorrect.
