Word magazine (Dec. 2004) - Morrissey "Man Of The Year" cover / interview, out now
posted by davidt on Tuesday December 07 2004, @09:00AM

 Jim Royle writes:

The new issue of Word magazine features Moz on the cover, with the byline "Morrissey is our Man Of The Year". There's a six page feaute by Stuart Maconie, and some nice photos of our boy sporting a surprisingly fetching side parting, and looking rather distinguished, all told.

        on their website it says that borders carries this publication, but i don't think i've ever seen it there. does anyone know if this magazine is widely available in the states and if so where have you seen it?

            i'm in so cal (orange county) and most B&Ns and Tower locations carry it. however, it can take close to a month for them to get the latest issues. so if it just hit the stands in the UK, we probably won't see it till after Xmas on this side of the US.

                Stuart Macaroni has been on good terms with Moz since the early years interviewing him for NME, Q et cetera.
                He reviewed Quarry in the recent Q/Mojo Moz/Smiths thing and, although no mark out of 10 was awarded, it read like a 7 or 8.

                    This site seems to be a combination of puerile sycophancy and overly-harsh criticism of Morrissey's actual artistic output.

                    Doesn't anyone have anything at all vaguely interesting to say?

                    The interview is very minimal, obviously a short telephone conversation.

                    It's padded out with loads of stuff we all know, even telling us about the who the Smiths were and what they did.

                      I was hoing for something approaching the interesting interviews that used to appear, but I'm afraid that the journalist appears to have had a 5 minute telephone conversation with Morrissey and there really isn't anything remarkable except that Morrissey, at the end, mentions that there will be a new record out next year.

                      Most of the photos are of live appearances this year. There is a nice one of Morrissey putting on a light blue satin jacket, but that's the only one. Oh and there's that picture of Father Moz lined up with the nuns.

                      I felt very deflated after I read it. Morrissey does mention a few times though how much he loves doing gigs and talks about his fans loving him - and he thinks he knows why.

                        Morrissey is a lot nicer about his fans in this interview than his fans are about him on this website.

                        Morrissey seems to be under the impression that his fans have pure and high minded motives for loving him. It's a good thing he doesn't read all the shit on here about him being a business man and only interested in the money isn't it?
