      When reading interviews like this and aspects of Morrissey's personality are described, I wonder if possibly Morrissey may have a slight case of Autism..such as Asperger syndrome.

      That was a very enjoyable interview to read. Thanks all round. Jonny is so nice. And Morrissey drinks the right tea. Nice one Moz you and me together!

      Does anyone in here actually drink different types/blends of tea on a daily basis. Its Yorkshire Tea all the way for me.
      Am i missing out, ive only had Earl Grey once and i thought it tasted of perfume.
      Should we start a poll on favorite teas.

      I agree Yorkshire tea is the winner. I have tried exotic brews like earl Grey, but they just don't cut it.

      My staple teas are Assam and Yorkshire Tea. For something different I enjoy Lapsang Souchon or Earl Grey.

      Jonny was playing bass the first time I saw Morrissey live at Battersea. That boy can play because most of those Southpaw tracks ain't easy.

      Yorkshire Tea is quite nice in the a.m., or the 3:30 "Tea-Time". Although it's been a bit warm for that here in California. Freshly brewed Lipton, then chilled over night works too, especially in summer. Will try Yorkshire "iced"Tea next.

      Julie does such a good job engaging the people she interviews. Here's hoping she can land Gary and Spencer one day.

      What a delightful read ! As Julie says at the end of the interview " Jonny you are very nice. " So true. He seems very contented with his life and has a wonderful family. Hopefully he can take his daughter to see Moz soon . What a gem !

      A gem indeed. Bridgwood is a good one! However, the most hilarious bit here is Richard Hawley auditioning for Morrissey!?! Has this been known before?

      Yes it was great interview and insight into what a strange weirdo silly Stephen is BUT!!!!!!!
      W T F!!!!! Why the need to suddenly all be light fingered tea drinking experts??? WEIRDOS.
      What if he said "Silly Stephen likes drinking caffe latte with lettuce sprinkles on the top"
      A good interview and all you lot can take from it is that silly Stephen drinks different kinds of TEA !!! Classic.

      I find her obvious crush on Morrissey distracting.

      Haven't put anything on here for a while but had to comment having read this article. As everyone else has said what a lovely bloke Jonny Bridgewood appears to be. Really down to earth and very natural and the family appear to have managed some tough situations very well, credit to them. Nice to see someone 'natural and real' to borrow a phrase from someone. He was also complimentary about Moz without being fawning. Had a laugh when he was saying how his boy asked him about whether he should get a wife when he's older or are they too much bother!Quality!

      Again , a really good read from this interviewer - just the right ratio of Moz to non-Moz material . Bridgwood comes across a nice , sane individual ( not to damn with faint praise ) .

      I think I vaguely remember reading somewhere that peculiar and incessant fussing about with contracts by Morrissey's agent/management/rep may have also hastened Bridgwood's departure ... ?

      A lovely interview.

      Thank you for posting.

      Question ~ I don't have my 'Mozipedia' to hand, but is there somewhere, either on-line or in print, that has a detailed, and accurate, list of the musicians employed on each solo Morrissey project? I can't recall if Simon Goddard does this. Moz surely has to be one of the slackest artists for recording credits. The early solo years are particularly shambolic, in terms of knowing exactly who played on what track. Did 'PJLM' have such a list?

      It has been a mess , hasn't it ? I'm reasonably sure that "Mozipedia" mentions at least one such clusterfuck i.e. Whyte , contrary to the facts ,being listed on the "Sing Your Life" single cover as playing on the track(s ?) ....
