      'Music is the only freedom' (Score:1)
      Finally Morrissey has said it: what the purpose of art is. It's for saving the world!! Flash, ah ha!! Music, rock n' roll, etc are all political acts but never forced; people choose to hear a message or 'the world won't listen'(though the so-called authorities do listen, very, too closely, knowing the power in what you're saying...) The influence cannot be denied, but he almost did lose faith some time back according to one of the True To You replies, so this is heartening.

      There's a wonderful flow in this interview once the gushing and fawning is aired at the start, where Morrissey looks as if he's thinking, 'oh, get on with it, boy!'

      Lovely setting too; every pixel easy on the eye. : )

          Ugh this "interview" if you want to call it that was absolutely horrific. I love how that no talent ass clown threw in his two bits about being a singer and songwriter what a shameless douche. The guy was lucky to even be sitting next to Morrissey let alone ask his pathetic questions, he should have at least thought of something intelligent to ask Morrissey.

          As a rational adult, listening to Morrissey speak on anything other than popular music makes me cringe.

          These kind of flippant sound-bites may have worked against the dull backdrop of the 80's, but in a modern world that has increased its access to information, they seem woefully naive, and anti-intellectual.

          He seems to believe that his position as a pop song-writer somehow places him in a serious intellectual position. This, coming from a man who admits to not caring about the news. Anyone who takes Morrissey's music that seriously either needs to grow up, and move out of their parent's house, or be placed under a doctor's care.

          Morrissey truly has become dull to listen to. The man's views on the world have not seemed to evolve in the slightest since his inception in the music business. All politicians are terrorists? Well, then why on Earth would anyone feel morally obligated to vote for a Socialist government? After all, you're depending on the promises of "terrorists" and giving them more power over your life as a government official?

          This is further evidence as to why Libertarians have the most intellectually sound and meaningful political philosophy. Next to the dogmatic extremism of many left and right thinkers, theirs is a fresh perspective.

          Unfortunately, Morrissey's fanbase is full of child-like liberals whose idea of a night out is staying in, and pretending that their loneliness somehow makes them glamorous.

          Truly, it really is just pizza and fairy tales around here.

          Really... (Score:1)
          Great artist and the best lyricist ever but he really does talk some bollocks sometimes. At least his interviews used to be funny:

          "People who are attracted to politics are never good people, they are always potential terrorists"?

          Tell that to Tony Benn.

          "Singing is very political because you have total freedom and this doesn't happen anywhere else in life, with anything".

          Er, OK.

          I wish he would think before he spoke sometimes.

            To me, anyway, as an English-speaking American. Do they speak more slowly than other Spanish-speaking folks, or is the accent just more clear for some reason?

            I can hardly understand Cuban Spanish - possibly because they keep dropping their S's.

                  I have to agree with some of the above comments. Morrissey comes across as rather unintelligent here. His comment that "all politicians are terrorists" is just bizarre. I don't know if this is possible, but Morrissey seems to be getting less intelligent as he ages. In earlier interviews he could often be witty, humorous, and sharp, but lately those moments have been few and far between. I can't explain it.
