Ok, here goes, just remember, I’m not Swedish so I didn’t understand all the words. Those I’ve written in CAPITAL LETTERS I don’t quite understand so hopefully someone who does understand can fill them in and change any errors I have made with the translation in general. Cheers.

Glädjespridaren från Manchester - Nöjesguiden

Translation posted on general board.

The Joyspreader from Manchester

April 2006.

He carried the whole world on his shoulders. Transformed a musical career into a religious crusade. Despised everything that didn’t resemble Oscar Wilde, Pat Phoenix and Coronation Street. Now he has revised his view on life. Developed a liking for vodka tonics, sexual activity and Tommy Korberg. His name is Steven Patrick Morrissey and he has finally gotten to meet Carl Reinholdtzon Belfrage

    Thanks dandysweets, liked the naturalistic ease of the journalist.

  • Yes, but the politics and the politicians in a country almost never reflect the people. Politicians don’t deserve their people. And they don’t speak for their people. Most of all, they don’t respect their people. It is the same whether it’s in Italy or the Usa or in England. The governments are totally disinterested in the people who elected them. And is that fascism? Yes, absolutely. In England it (the government) drowns/strangles (?) the people. In America it scares the people. But in Italy it doesn’t seem to have much of an effect. Instead they seem to resonate that ‘Sure, we have a pathetic government but let’s go out tonight and have a good time’.

    let's go out and wear fur and eat lots of veal!?

    Does Morrissey not think that his Canadian fans do not also want to go out to see his gigs and have a good time? Is it their fault that maybe their government will not listen to their citizens if they protest the seal hunting?

    Think on about this quote and how it applies to what's going on with his crusade to ban all things Canadian. He defends the citizens of England, of America, and of Italy, but segregates against the citizens who are his Canadian fans?

    A cheap shot publicity stunt is beneath you, Morrissey, so please enlighten us and explain the sense you find in your actions. The world is watching more than how you intend to save the seals; it watches how you treat your fans with total disinterest, to use your words.

  • The writer got in a little deeper than usual and asked terrific questions, leading to interesting responses. A great read as 'they' say.

  • So Morrissey has finally admitted to Jesse Tobias "replacing" Alain Whyte.

  • Alain isn't interested in touring with Morrissey anymore...especially when he has his own project he's working on!

    Too bad the interviewer didn't ask Moz what he thought of Red Lightning.
