...being a Ringleader, quarry and refusing!!

Excellent!!

He has looked really uncomfortable so far... at least we had the arse David Cameron on!

I think he's enjoying it! lol - Arms crossed and not really answering the questions in full, good old moz, Was he joking when he said he only came on the show to talk about unemployment? i missed the first 5 minutes.

you are a genius.

that was good fun! i particularly like mozza's advice to unemployed white collar workers.."go out and paint"...way to solve the recession crisis moz! the show is meaningless, slightly bizarre fluff and it was fun to see morrissey look bewildered at bizarre beardy bloke talk rubbish about the human body. his account of growing up in manc was interesting and he looked as if he was enjoying himself. his dry sarcasm emerged at some points and he politely answered the same old questions about his career. good effort moz!

I really enjoyed it. It made my day. Loved the endearing blushing and I think Christine quite fancied him!

I'm glad he's doing this kind of crap, because it's better than the pretentious attempts at yoof tv on other channels.
It's like the 1970's with 'cool artist's' popping up in the strangest places!

What next-ready steady cook?

I think that his comments about unemployment slightly confused them...

Don't know if it's spelt like that, but I wonder if The Blows family get back in touch!! LOL

I cannot stand those two twats who present the one show so was glad when morrissey refused to give pat answers about unemployment and the various other topics on their crappy show. He said he was happy to be unemployed in the 70s because he couldn't think of anything he wanted to do for a living. when one of the stupid presenters was giving advice to the unemployed he said "paint - do something creative". He is a true artist and I love the way he has always refused to live by society's standards of "get a job, get married, have kids, be part of the rat race". He is still a one off, still creative still a genius.

It was fun to see David Cameron bigging him up as well.

Morrissey was squirming and looking embarrassed though. I wish he'd said golliwog or brought up Carol Thatcher's sacking - that would have been hilarious. (for those outside the UK Carol Thatcher was recently sacked by the one show for using the word golliwog backstage on this show).

Who are you people?? Yes, Morrissey is a great artist - yes. But, The One Show??? Someone said "You couldnt imagine Morrissey doing a butter advert like Johnny Rotten".. but I'm not so sure now..

Please Moz, cut this out.

He said it not me.
And I love him for saying it.
He doesn't make music to please you, he makes music because he wants to.
I LOVE YOU MOZ.

There was a piece about people losing their job and ending up on the dole...
Presenter: "We'd all have to sympathise with the white-collar workers who only ever really enjoyed success, who's had no experience of going through..."
Moz: "Therefore why sympathise with them."

Yeah, right Moz. Makes me regret paying €25 for the Deluxe CD today, in case I need the cash if I lose my job.

Highly amusing. Comes in second after the children's program bus interview!

Moz is getting a bit of a slagging here...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theoneshow/onepassions/2009/02/morrissey-we-salute-you.html

It's in the lyrics folks..."I've never had a job, because I've never wanted one". Come on, isn't anyone allowed to be even remotely controversial these days?

Bloody hell.

moz is on mtv2 in only 20 min. Ask Morrissey: MTV 2 in Zane Lowe.

Have a look on there.

Once again the Great British Public are up in arms because someone they don't know has said something they don't understand. Is Britain the only country in the world where half the population actually seek offence? The BBC gets more strange by the minute.

 

Just found this link on youtube. Enjoy

Morrissey was lovely on 'the one show', funny, charming, shy, handsome. I felt like i could almost reach in to the television and touch him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fON-zK45cc [youtube.com]

His comments on the unemployed were reprehensible and disgraceful. He is truly a monumental twat. I'm now going out to spend my redundancy cheque on coat made out of dead cats. It's getting quite chilly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiwhwuRBmk4 [youtube.com]

He seemed a bit uncomfortable but not nearly as nervous as he did with Jonathan R. Maybe because these hosts were a lot more innocuous? The (good looking) female host seemed quite taken with M as she giggled away.

Who in the hell was the mop-haired guy who looked like a children's show host gone awol?

Can not see why Morrissey would do a show like this, It was car crash all the way. As a white collar worker in construction in dificult times I understand that losing your job is hard. But lets remember that finance director on the show will have earned more in one year that lots will ever see. To indicate he whats to maintain his standard of living is an insult to mainy people.

People in UK need to be more flexible and adapt to a changing world. Retrain sell one of your cars and live a less materal life for a year or struggle like main millions do and this may make you a better person.

This was vintage stuff. Only those of us who remember the younger, cantankerous Morrissey would have been in on the 'joke'. Morrissey would not have been on this programme if he didn't want to be. Rebellious, forthright, opinionated, controversial, mischievous. Charming, quiet and polite, and yet unafraid to voice 'unconventional' opinions. Still shy and a little uncomfortable on camera, but all the while refusing to toe the party line, and quite unafraid not to just court approval by following the all-pervasive creed of political correctness which is paralysing public life in today's Britain. A deliciously toe-curling performance, throughout which I sat, fascinated, slightly on edge, with a broad grin on my face.

'Why sympathise?', says he, concerning recently unemployed hitherto successful white-collar workers, when encouraged to do exactly that by the bemused, and slightly struggling, Mr Chiles. Well, everybody, I am a white collar worker with a wife and two very young kids who recently went through that very experience. Having lived the high life during the good times and now experiencing some regret at not having made suitable provision for the inevitable bad times, I am feeling chastened enough and, frankly, neither want, nor expect, any sympathy. I largely have myself to blame. If Morrissey, or anyone else for that matter, would like to point that out, it is entirely his or her right to do so, and I would expect no less. I found myself silently nodding my head as the words left his lips. There are people far worse off than myself, and it only takes one to remember the carnage in the blue-collar, working-class sector in the early eighties to understand why Morrissey (or anyone else of a working-class background, no matter how successful they may have become as a result of their own hard work, as in his case) would feel a little smug at so many high-fliers having been brought suddenly crashing down. My own wife is the daughter of an ex-miner who lost his job just after the 1984/85 miner's strike, and has her own story to tell in that respect. I wish to God that people would stop jumping on the 'I'm offended' bandwagon, even where offence may mischievously have been intended! Anyone remember a song called 'Margaret on the Guillotine?'

Most of the pleasure at this latest outing was derived from my suspicion that most viewers, other than those of us in on the know, just wouldn't 'get it'. The content of the show's messageboards along with, I have to say, some of the posters above, seem to have borne this out.

It's Morrissey, everybody. Let's not forget why most us are still here after all these years, hanging on to his every word. He's unique. More please...

Morrissey looks great and says interesting things but bloody hell if I can't stop focusing on the female host -- she's a beautiful woman. Can't be bothered to Google or check the official site but would appreciate the skinny from someone here.

well. that went down well.

he has such a choo choo face ;)

Well that's what I'm really here for!!!
*LOL* Amacing.

Part 3 (missing from top of this Article.

Genius at work.

He was way, way ahead of them. Great montage of the past too; not just the usual lazy hit list.

"If that's progress, then I'm a banana!"...

I think that guy is a banana anyway. I've never seen this program before. Don't plan to again, but it was great. It was like a motorway crash! Almost like they had a T-Rex in the studio. None of them looked like they knew what to do when he said he had no sympathy for the whiteshirts. I thought they all might start to cry. So cringe-worthy

"He's very advanced for his YEAR!"...Nice

One of the Blow family has contacted The One Show to say there was no animosity at all between them and Morrissey!

It never ceases to amaze me at how well he deals with spotlight. Their is never any sense at all that he is trying to be liked, he is just so genuine. I get goose pimples and butterflies in my belly whenever i see an interview with Moz......Simply Beautiful!

Fab fab fab! I could watch and listen to Morrissey all day.

He is a National Hero and there should be a statue!

Morrissey...I love you, but holy shit you are an ass.

You mean, an overpaid, self-avowed couch potato with your grandfather's stomach wonders why anyone should sympathize with the unemployed?

Didn't Morrissey use the working class aesthetic as an early pose, even though he was effectively sheltered from a working class environment? At one point, I think he even went so far as to say "I'm a Socialist." Of course, that's before it was his tax dollars that were on the line.

The man is lucky he has even made a living. It certainly wasn't by way of what any sensible person would describe as "hard work."

Morrissey has become almost entirely unlikeable as a person. His misplacement of the script when it comes to his music only makes it easier to loathe his flippant personality. His act is tired, and it comes across as little more than self-parody. You know, give them the character that they expect. I assume he thinks its cute.

He's a 50 year old manchild.

I love the Jonathan Ross Show, so much fun listening to those two (Moz & Ross). I think Moz really enjoyed his time there while i cannot say the same for THE ONE SHOW, dunno why he went there...probably pushed by the record company.
Cheers Moz

On the One show, Moz corrected the presenter when he referred to Moz's mum as 'Mrs.Morrissey'. Moz said 'it's Miss, and it's Miss Dwyer, she's not married'. So, presumably Betty (Elizabeth)got a divorce from Peter at some stage. I didn't know that. I know it's none of my business, so perhaps I shouldn't even have mentioned this.
Thanks,
ACTON

You must agree it was funny! lol - Strange show indeed.

I thought he was really becoming interested in that item but became a bit self-conscious of his role as guest singer, rather than regular panelist, later. He was funny pretending to take notes of the advice. Some kind person might upload this on YouTube soon. It was unusual and enjoyable, plus it's the first time I've seen that show.

Moz doesn't do anything he doesn't want to do. he said his mum likes the show. Ms Dwyer!

It's great to see him doing different shows, I love to see how he reacts to people he wouldn't normally interact with.
