Morrissey: 'The monarchy is a dictatorship like no other'

  • After his visit to Spain last fall, Morrissey returns to perform in Barcelona (April 29) and lead the SOS 4.8 festival poster of Murcia (May 1).
  • A new opportunity to see in action the former leader of The Smiths and let loose his views on politics, bulls, popular culture ... or himself.
  • "I'm happy when a bull injures a torero And if it kills, I think to myself. 'Well, finally justice'"
  • "Somebody is considered 'Real' is stupid and could only impress stupid people"

This may not have to wait six years as the previous occasion, to return to play in Spain. Would have liked to act here?
It has always been difficult to find places to play in Spain. There seems no auditoriums, theaters, operas or elegant for people like me. So I always end up acting in a field ... and I have absolutely no idea why. I think there is confusion in Spain about the nature of my music, while I, of course, only dream of opera.

In his last interview with THE WORLD confessed that he had scraped cancerous tissues . How are you now?
Well, since we are all skeletons.

How does the departure of his record after the publication last year, the album 'World peace is none of your business'?
No other seal publish it, which is terrible for us because we have a year of touring ahead to promote an album that no one can buy or download. It's all pretty disgusting. Thank you, 'Crapitol' [a pun between the US Capitol label, owned by Universal, and "crap", shit, English].

In his latest video, 'Kiss me alot' young girls appear in panties. Do you fear being attacked for it, as happened to Robin Thicke with that 'Blurred lines'?
I worry about people who find it annoying.

In his last concert in Madrid, after playing his song 'The bullfighter dies' [The bullfighter dies] said that bullfights are "the shame of Spain". Do not you think there are more serious problems?
No major problems in Spain if you happen to be a bull.

What do you feel when a matador dies?
There are murderers are murderers. When they are injured by the bull I feel very happy. And if it kills them, I think to myself, "Well, justice at last".

Do you believe that everyone can be a vegetarian, like you, when meat consumption is so rooted in the West?
When you say that is rooted in Western societies are admitting that you have been brainwashed. You'll feel better if you stop thinking about yourself and your stomach. Do not tolerate violence, and there is nothing more violent than what is known as the "meat industry": An end taunting cancer and cancer. And it is also the most horrible social injustice that happens on the planet now. You really do not need to eat pork cheek: it would be better to eat asbestos.

In 1986 singing "life is long when you're lonely," a verse from 'The Queen is dead'. Do you still think so?
It is the reality of my life. Obviously, I am a very melancholic person and I despair barbarism of the human race, who seems obsessed with his own suicide. Nuclear weapons are a form of this suicide and yet, all countries want.

Have you ever been sorry to speak or show too?
Well, it's too late to undo the road traveled. It is unlikely that by now change trains and suddenly I become a bus driver.

To live a life like Morrissey?
It's hard to move because many people grab your iPhone as soon as I appear ... And do not even ask if I care, whereas if I empezase taking pictures of strangers, I denounce. It is inconceivable for these people really prefer NOT fotografiasen you while you're sitting in a restaurant eating.

For some rock stars are the gods of contemporary pantheon. And for you? What do you think attitudes like Daft Punk, who would rather keep hidden behind their costumes robot?
I think that composers are the new poets, but also that very few could be considered as gods. I admire the ethics of Daft Punk to stay away from the crowd, because once you surrender to the rush of the popularity stop being respected. Being called "celebrity" is now very degrading and usually means that you have succeeded, but you're not very good.

Some people travel to Manchester for sightseeing in places of his youth. How does it feel to see that?
I'm not entirely sure what it is you're looking for people. My life in Manchester when I was young was so awful I can only imagine pilgrimages to these sites a bit like visiting a Victorian prison and take a look at the names scrawled on the walls of the cells.

How is the balance between his side and the misanthropic humanist?
Not much of equilibrium. I believe that the Earth could thrive without human ... and will be destroyed because of humans. Apparently the sun is about to explode, so chances are we have less time than you imagine ... it's not like a picnic, they say.

How does the attempt rejuvenation monarchies like the British or Spanish?
Do not know anyone in England who wants a monarchy or she likes that family. When Elizabeth Battenberg which know as the Queen dies, it's over. His family are just rabble 'white trash' of the 'jet-set' and nobody wants them. I do not know much about the Spanish situation, apart from the detestable hunt elephants Juan Carlos, but I find it amazing that no human can consider himself "Real". It's stupid and could only impress people stupid. Moreover, if a democratic society has a built auto-"real family" then not be considered democratic because citizens have not been consulted. In England, 55% do not want the monarchy, while 45% did. Normally, the vote of the majority usually wins, but Elizabeth Battenberg clings to the throne, taking £ 200 million each year from the British. It is a dictatorship like no other.

What do you think of Madonna criticism to the new way of consuming music?
I think Madonna is right. For example, BBC Radio One does not prick her music because she's too old. But the music is good or bad, and the age of the interpreter is irrelevant. With this gesture, Radio One tries to look is on the wave and the last, but all it does is show ridiculous, because it is saying that music will only youngsters, regardless of whether it is good or not. Who does that help? Moreover, evidence that the main motivation of Radio One are the creations of marketing and that damage to the music is already evident.

What about the emergence of new parties and changing the political landscape in Europe?
Never in my life I voted and I doubt I ever will. In England politicians are the kind of people you never want to know. Never listen to people and most political leaders have never had a real job in the real world. So, how will they know anything? When Margaret Thatcher died, David Cameron announced on television that "all England was in mourning" for it, which was a fascinating comment, because it could not locate a single person who felt no sadness at the death of Thatcher, who was the leader most despised politician throughout British history. But Cameron's comment pointed out what everyone should know: politicians and people live in completely separate worlds, and business policy will ensure that this will never change, because they do not care the slightest approach people.

Honestly, if you're going to just post a horrible google translation of an interview, you might as well not bother. Is there no spanish speaker around here to provide a proper translation, have even the Mexicans abandoned this place? Viva Solow *cough*

Good for Morrissey to agree with his adversary Madonna. Not so good for him to call out not listening to politicians because they've never had a real job. Should we also not listen to every word of this interview? :straightface: Foot=shot.

He had real jobs. He didn't last long in these jobs but they were there.

I seriously hope this was lost in translation. :squiffy:

"There seems no auditoriums, theaters, operas or elegant for people like me."
 
So, his feelings towards Manchester aren't very good. We guessed that after the Warsaw incident last year. I don't blame him for that. My feelings towards my hometown aren't good either. I avoid the town at any cost.

Why? If you read further it's pretty clear what he means. Not that these places don't exist at all in Spain but rather that they don't let him play in there because they think his music doesn't fit in such places.
 
"Well, since we are all skeletons."

Is this the real translation? What does that mean?

First of all I'm tired of these so called "news". These are long held views by Morrissey and not news. In fact there is no story in the interview at all. Regarding your question, in the articel it says "Well, we're all skeletons already." As long as we don't know Moz's original words I can't say if he means "well" in the sense of "good" or, you know, "well" the interjection. Is there a spanish word for "well" the interjection?
 
"Es estupido y solo podria impresionar a la gente estupida."

Took the words right out of my mouth.
Now if only he could stop talking about himself in the third person, todo seria perfecto. :)

This part reminds me about his comments in the mid 90s "I no longer believe in human nature. The human race no longer interests me. I don't care any more about the environment. People deserve to die out. I'll be content when all the tigers, rhinos and elephants have become extinct, then they'll no longer be persecuted. Humanity deserves nothing more than to go up in smoke."
 
La vida es larga cuando eres solitario..."Es la realidad de mi vida."

Looks like Damon has left Morrissey in Baggage Claim again.
 
The answer to the KMAL video, is sort of accurate but the answer is as lackluster, unwitty and below his intelligance as the video.

Jesus Morrissey you are just phoning in. I wonder of his brain has a number of morrissey answer to interview questions that he uses at every interview, whilst he goes on standby
Autopilot the whole thing

I find you very annoying. Go and give witty interviews yourself for 30 years and you will see that it becomes tiresome after time when people expect you to be a certain way constantly. It's impossible for everyone. Even Billy Bragg already knew it way back in the 80s. I don't question for a second that Moz is a witty person in public and in private but not 24hours a day. You must have the freedom to show many parts of you and not just the part that people want you to show.

You are an obnoxious, nasty person.

I agree with him, but to a point. If you are from some small town in a rural location, completely understand. I grew up in a small town in eastern NC and once I turned 18 I left for college and never looked back. Of course, my family that is still alive is there, and I go back once a month or so to check with my mom, etc. But it completely void of culture, etc. A redesigned Golden Choral is considered economic progress there.

Hey i'm not saying Morrissey has not given brilliant interviews in his life, but lately he has been quite lackluster. Hey you can always be on top

Sure Morrissey should show different sides of himself, but don't phone it in

You came here just to comment on him. I guess he made an impression on you too.
