A really good documentary by the talented Mr Maconie. Can't wait for part 2. No I'm not Stuart Maconie, or his Mum.

    Was a very good show, although I was relegated to the kitchen (with the doors firmly closed) to listen to it! I look forward to next weeks part 2.

      Has anybody ripped this off the page? I'm sure that somebody has the capabilities to capture streaming audio...?

      Would greatly, greatly appreciate that.

            Salford? (Score:1)
            Why's it called Salford Lad when Morrissey is from Stretford? Surely Moz has escaped his old Shelagh Delaney/Coronation Street milieu by now? Why can't journalists catch up? Anyway, I don't think it was that good a show,some of the interviews were lifted straight from the Young Guns tv documentary from 1999. Did anyone else notice or is it just me?

            yes indeed it was brilliant!

            but it was obvious a lot of Morrissey's soundbites were culled from archives of past interviews from the 80's...

            despite that- it still rocked!

              Kind words of acknowledgement (Score:1)
              I am delighted to be hearing things like: "He is not affraid to explore topics most people shun away from. He is not affraid to enter the skin of Jack the Ripper, etc." and also their recognition that Morrissey emphasized the complex sexuality we alll have and the fact that Morrissey dives into anything disturbing and often too hard in regular, "normal" life to talk about, and that he brings it up with such honesty that they are moved by their beauty. Very byronic indeed - in a very mechanic world, whether it is the 80s or the 21st century.

                  I've just heard a small clip of the second show and Paul Morley has described Morrissey as looking like ''a brickie, or Jack Duckworth''
                  I am an admirer of Paul Morley's writing but really, people with large wobbly chins shouldn't throw stones.

                    Hello, Mark. I love the way your posts immediately attract loads of abuse from anonymous people who plainly don't realise you're angling for a reaction. I have the feeling that if everyone just ignored you you'd eventually get bored and give up. Sometimes you're funny, sometimes you're not, but I don't lie awake worrying about it. I'm troubled by those who seem to be doing so..
