CEO of Marks & Spencer Sir Stuart Rose chooses 'Heaven Knows..." on Desert Island Discs

 Kewpie sends additional info and the link (via Morrissey reddit), originally posted by prisoner77 the forums (original post):

Marks and Spencer's Sir Stuart Rose comes clean on Desert Island Discs - The Guardian

'I've chosen a record which is by The Smiths. It's slightly tongue in cheek, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, it's called. It reminds me sometimes of difficult times, but it also reminds me to laugh at those difficult times. Bring yourself and rise above it and just smile because there's plenty to smile about in life, and I'm a cheerful chap.'

ELO - Mr Bluesky / A Tanzanian tribe song / Al Jolson - Mammy / The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night / Tony Hancock and Kenneth Williams - Test Pilot / Fillipa Giordano - Casta Diva / The Duckworth Lewis Method - Jiggery Pokery / The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

...now the executive chairman of Marks & Spencer!

For someone who tries so desperately hard to be anti-establishment Mozzer has a pretty establishment following!

I don't know anything about the man, but that Smiths track is a good choice! Well done indeed!

    a true smiths fan wouldn't choose that song. he's probably a casual fan who just finds girlfriend in a coma a bit of a laugh and heaven knows an hilarious party piece for when people are getting bored of the 90s trip hop and bjork.

      Heaven Knows Im Married Now (Score:2, Interesting)
      Last year I got married and my wife and I walked into our wedding reception to HKIMN.

      It was brilliant, all my friends and family got the joke because I am such a huge Morrissey fan and the wifes family and friends wondering what was going on.

      It was one of the highlights of the day
