Morrissey is an angel, an incarnate poetry. He's beyond everything and everyone. Look at him, he's absolutely perfect in the smallest details, on the skin, on the symmetrically perfect features of the face, his voice is like a spilled perfume, the silky and smooth hair, his slim, white and delicate body. He's a deity
Interesting discussion here on popular music and how it was being presented to audiences. There's hardly any, if any, discussion today about the state of modern music. Most of it's relegated to message boards. Sure, Spin Maganzine, Source, and Rolling Stone have their editorial pieces but that's relegated to print and they have next to no presence outside of that.
You don't get the muriel greys anymore giving Mick what for on his wealthy hypocrisy, though money isn't everything nice to see mick get a bit of banter ..as in present media presenters are too afrai/sycophantic to say what they really think or feel or indeed tell the truth.
Not really; musicians are much more on the defensive then they used to be and their publicist will just shut down further access if a journalist strays where they feel they shouldn’t. The in-depth meandering interviews and the embedded journalists of the 80s are long gone.
F^%k off Hannah and think for yourself. He opposes Halal slaughter for christ sake! Oh he said Sadiq Khan can't talk properly? Hows that an attack on his race? He says most races prefer their own? Of course they do, that's why we have a little Italy, Greek town, Chinatown. In the UK we have Brixton, Handsworth and Moss Side which have become cultural communities from the Caribbean. Or Southall in London were the Sikh community have settled. We also have white middle class people living in 99% white areas dont we Hannah?
It’s not so much for his change of politics, but his change of temperament. By the end of his time with The Smiths he’d been given success, status, respect, acclaim, talent and money - everything he wanted - but he was awash with self-pity and a sense of unwarranted superiority. Every interview was just Morrissey moaning about how everyone was out to get him and how he was misunderstood and under-appreciated, but he made more money out of the group than anyone - more then Johnny Marr (whose patience he’d exhausted), and more then Geoff Travis, who gave him almost absolute creative control over every aspect of The Smiths - but still Morrissey moaned about him. The Smiths were phenomenal and his first three or four solo singles and their b-sides had a lot of the same sensitivity, but after 1991 the incredible depth of feeling that made Morrissey so special was slowly wiped out by his increasing bitterness. He is now a very unpleasant man, and it’s impossible to reach that same level of sensitivity when you’ve become so ungrateful, so mistrustful of humanity. I think of the song “That Joke isn’t Funny Anymore”, which is about a music journalist Morrissey was having a tentative fling with who made a cruel, offhand joke whose insensitivity immediately ended their friendship, and I ask myself, what went wrong? How could an empathic man of such deep feeling lose it and become so glib about others himself? I met him briefly in 1989 when my best friend was in the middle of a brief relationship with his best friend, and he came across as s needy, suspicious, controlling drama queen. He’d just moved from Knightsbridge to a luxury flat closer to his mother in smart Altrincham and he was wearing unbelievably expensive Italian clothes, but he acted like he was penniless. “Interesting Drug” had just peaked but he was still licking his wounds over the failure of “…International Playboys” to get to No.1, which was, of course, everyone’s fault but his. I had a lovely chat with a friend of his who was a music video director - now sadly passed - and he was such a gentle person, but Morrissey walked around us in circles looking surly and impatient as if we had no right to be talking to each other. Morrissey had just bought his first car - a somewhat uncharacteristic white soft-top GTI - and I suspect that Morrissey was just using this person because he was unable to drive himself at that point. There’s a story in his autobiography about them taking a drive around the moors in that car, and I think my friend was with them that night. Success was possibly the worst thing that could have happened to him because it didn’t cure his underlying unhappiness. I think it would be invidious to speculate about exactly why he’s so troubled, but the songs on the first Smiths album (which I still love) probably go some way to explaining the underlying traumas that shaped him.

Well i kinda agree! He's certainly a classy guy
@Marcus R underbites matter.
@FranFerdinanda Hey, Morrissey!
I can hear him all day, the way he talks is a poem 🖤😍
Mick got grilled there at the end
Morrissey was a philosopher.
Morrissey intellectualism, rarely respected by the english gutter press.
i want morrissey to hypnotize me. is that so wrong?
It's totally appropriate.❤
Had to laugh at Bruno Brookes mullet. I think it tickled me more because of his diminutive stature as well.

He's very, very cute with that little underbite.❤

Great talk with Morrissey, everything else in the video must be skipped.
Mick Jagger looked ridiculous dancing🙄
How the hell are the rolling stones so popular?
Must overrated bullshit of all time
I like 60's Rolling Stones, some early 70's. After M. Taylor left no way.
Doesn't Andy Kershaw look young here.
Creepy, selfish Mick Jagger showing himself up as usual.
I hate the Rolling stones. Shit, mick jagger was old EVEN IN 1987.
Who else hates what Morrissey turned out to be?
Love him even more for it ❤️
@@Mrdede1998 u love him for being a frckn populist? Low standards there I see
What did he turn out to be?
