Tony Visconti mentions Morrissey in interview

Link posted by Danny in the forums (original post):

The man who sold the world - The Times Online

Excerpt:

...Last year he made his biggest splash for years by producing Morrissey’s acclaimed chart-topper, Ringleader of the Tormentors. And it is Morrissey who provides the gushing foreword to Visconti’s autobiography, which is published next month. “Tony understands the code of music brilliantly,” the singer enthuses. “He is a noble example of the self-flogger who understands that the song doesn’t end just because it’s over.”

...Visconti has mostly positive things to say about his famous collaborators. He calls Bowie a “man of honour”, and declines my invitation to share some filthy gossip about Morrissey. “I have never seen him with a member of either sex,” he insists. “I honestly think his whole love life is his music. He prefers writing a song to having sex.”

The meaning of dignity (Score:1)

I think the two couldn't say more honorable things about one another, and I am happy for this; dignity in the pop world exists after all, and they both found it. Only true artists get recognized as living wholly for their art, or having it be their whole life. No other species of human being would be able of so much, so it is touching that Visconti recognizes this in Morrissey, and brings it forth to fans - and even peepers.
