There's a pic of the Moz cover on the left column of every page of the site. MORRISSEY SPEAKS TO NME! This week's NME marks the end of a 12-year feud. Over a decade after MORRISSEY vowed never to speak to us again, he's finally given an interview to NME. In 1992, after a notorious performance supporting Madness at Finsbury Park, London, in which he flirted with skinhead imagery and waved a Union Jack, NME wrote a cover feature which asked if he was racist. Ever since then, the star has boycotted the magazine. Last month, however, he and NME buried the hatchet over an epic and hilarious conversation that took in why he thought Nirvana were "hippies", why he's distressed by Tony Blair's teeth, what he doesn't like about The Strokes, what he does like about The Libertines and - of course -why he has no regrets about that Union Jack incident. The issue is in the shops now, dated April 18.

Maybe now is also the time to reclaim Finsbury park too... Moz could play the Fleadh this summer (Bob Dylan is headlining.)
Speaking as someone who has just bought a ticket for this, i think it's a great idea.
He could bring whatever flag he wants...
English, Irish, American, Mexican...
no one will mind

If you read the article, you might notice that they aren't spelling realize correctly. Is it just me, but isn't "realize" spelled with a Z, not a S?
I might be wrong...

The Guardian and i-D interviews were far better reads.
Maybe he'll bring it home in part two.
He looks great in the pictures though!

What is most adorable about Morrissey is that he has impeccable manners and is wonderfully courteous BUT - and it's a big but - he never hesitates to get the knife in. He is not afraid to ruffle other people's feathers - and this fearlessness has always endeared me to him.
Mr. Diplomat he is not.
While he is stirring his cup of Ceylon tea the other hand is dipping the knife in a bucket of salt. I relish that feeling so well especially after dishing the dirt on Marianne last night.
On Tony Blair:
"I think Blair is just a bumbling fool as well as a liar. Surely he's doomed."
We pray. We really do pray.
On Courtney Love:
"...she's not a full shilling."
For American readers that's another way of saying she's one nickel short of a dollar - in other words she's not the 'full deck of cards' as you say over there.
I bet Courtney and her pal Michael Stipe are not happy with that remark!
As for answering questions that the NME posed twelve years ago, this interview is about settling old scores and putting some scary ghosts to rest.
Morrissey preserved his dignity years ago by not getting involved in a mucky debate on race and bigotry.
Time has moved on. His stance at that point is completely vindicated.

Good to see that Moz likes the Ordinary Boys as they are probably the best new band around and look to be famous.

Moz +race debate and immigrants (Score:0)
The use of the word flooding is inflammatory, and grossly irresoponsible and are words used by those that have narrow minded and preset conceptions of immigration.Enoch Powell used it,David Blunkett used it and the BNP used it.
For a man of Moz's intelligence its insensitive, or perhaps he views immigrants as "floods".
Lets hear what you really mean Moz, so you can help me decide where you really stand on race once and for all.
