Will you and Johnny Marr ever reconcile your differences?
Too much has happened, really, and, in actual truth, we don't actually like each other.

Say it anint so Moz?!

and i quote...

"I've never been invited to take part in VH1 or MTV, which is extraordinary."

am i the only one who remembers morrissey's performance on "hangin' with mtv"? or perhaps i dreamt the whole episode.

I think it was a pretty good interview. I am happy to see Morrissey still has his wits about him...and his wit! But I do dare ask, if he doesn't go out and "mingle" then why has he been spotted at the PETA event and the Moby concert? For someone who doesn't get out...it's suprising he went to two major events knowing full well he'd be spotted!

I am eager to hear the influences on his life since his living in Los Angeles. What observations will appear on Morrissey's new recording?! We can only wonder until then...

"Oh, Moz, I think I'm in love" ...

Spare me. will you?

God I love this man...

I wish the members of my family could be so candid, imaginative and clever. A boy can dream.

The last few years have seen a series of fake interviews. For some reason, I just don't think Moz would answer some of those questions.

Of course, I could be wrong

i do believe that he would never answer like that. fake. fake. fake. i guess we are just hungry for news.

Jaan Uhelszki is a well-respected journalist - here's a profile. I went out and bought Soma yesterday and it's a real and obviously legitimate magazine.

Nothing happens in a vaccuum, you Carry-On, 60's film loving, David Bowie-meets-james Dean-meets-Oscar Wilde dressing, Sheleigh Delaney plagiarizer you.

I remember seeing more than one of your videos on MTV. they play you on occasion as I know that it was not the radio or my CD player that allowed me to hear your music for the first time.

May 1994, a month that shall live in infamy.

im sick and tired of people asking when moz and marr are reuniting when there is absolutely no need for that. i, somewhat, understand how journalists are stupid enough to ask such a question, but when morrissey "fans" ask the same thing it makes want to pull their heads out of their arses! with lads like alan and boz, there is no need for the smiths to come back. if anyone needs this reunion it's johnny, andy, and mike! so please, take into consideration the achievements of alan and boz in co-writing most of songs since joining moz in 91 and give them thanx for standing by morrissey ever since!

"I'm the most gentle person in the universe"

Tell that to all the people/groups/bands/movements that Morrissey has ripped on in the last years.

Poor sad fool!!!!!! Stop doing interviews! You sound pathetic!

I am just so happy that Morrissey enjoys being
in sunny Californ-i-a. He deserves all the warmth
it has to offer.
Oh, and to all of these confusingly critical people typing in insulting comments: why are
you even here? Please go away...NOW.

if every interview wasn't 80% about The Smiths/Marr reunion, and the rest: "so, what are you doing now?"

that interview was very nice, But I cant believe
he still hasnt found a record deal yet...
I had a strange vision as "satan rejected my soul"
played that it could be his last album before he dies.I hate for that to be true but so far nothing changed that cant make it true.Ive been drinking and sort of wasted so forgive me for such morbidity.

I enjoyed the article, I only wish I knew if it were real. Some of Moz's answers are synonymous in the way he answers questions, such as, short answers. But there seem to be too many long answers that is inconsistent with his past interviews. I have read everything I can get my hands on about my favorite man, Morrissey. And one thing I've noticed is that the real interviews tend to mention his body-language, his shyness, and his wonderful one-liners that flow in a poetic, yet often harsh manner. This interview potrays him as some kind of a public speaker who willingly shares subjects that are so sacred to him. I tend to doubt the articles validity (unless the interview perhaps took place after Moz had many Corona's or something). I know contradiction is a part of Moz's mystique, but I had a hard time swallowing the answer about him not liking his past self. To me, he is still the same as he has always been, just a little happier, after moving to L.A.. He is not a mean person at all, he just says what he thinks without thinking of the consequences. Lets compare, in the book, "In His Own Words", from the 80's, he was histarically comical when putting down Royalty, Madonna, Prince, and others (A must read-he spoke as a modern day Oscar Wilde), he was with the Smiths at that time. When I saw him Solo, Feb. of this year in Chicago, he came on the stage and announced " I have no record label", "I've come to the conclusion that I hate everyone in the music industry". HE HAS NOT CHANGED IN THE WAYS WHICH WILL BENEFIT HIS CAREER, but we still love him. I know I have been too long-winded with these comments, but I must finish by stating this--I will not reveal my connections, but I can say for a fact that the reason he doesn't have a record label is not because of his not having enough hit songs, it's because the companies are afraid to invest large sums of money in him because they believe he is a risk because he is unpredictable, difficult to work with on long-term basis, and he refuses to cooperate with publicity agents, which record companies need to promote him for financial reasons. But, us Morrissey fans will always continue to love him and loathe him.---Yours Truly,---- Hated for loving

Well, before reading the comments, i've read the interview and I was quite sure the interview was fake. Then I read the Davit's commentary, but even after this I doubt the answers. Not because what he answered, but because the way he answered. Everybody could be wrong, so am I...

...about fake and/or real interviews! Steven Patrick Morrissey should stop wasting his talent now, he should get off his ass and get out some great material (i think a double album is the least he ownes us after 4 years). And if he can't find a label, then why doesn't he release it over the net? Surely he has the money to pay for a producer and recording studio? I'm sure a hell of a lot of you out there feel the same way : we want a new album - soon.

Dear Jim,

I would like to have nine perfect minutes with Morrissey!

Sincerly,

Perry Farrel, Elton John, and Chino Moreno

God!This interview never took place!Morrissey would never have answered any of the questions posed in such a way.His ego wouldnt allow half of the answers and rightly so.The Smiths to Morrissey is a dead cat and should be buried at the bottom of his garden by now.He's said as much and Im paraphrasing -but at least theres a phrase in there Moz has actually said.
Hayzi Fantazi would never admit to shopping around for a "deal" let alone our hero.
The last time I saw Morrissey live at barrowland in Glasgow he didnt appear resigned at prostituting himself for a deal but more a musical giant flexing his talent for all to see and knowing more than any of his his worth.Only 2and a half years ago -Q magazine done a survey of the artist record company bosses would love to have on their books,all the major labels took part. Guess who featured most prominately!Hes a prestige artist who not only worldwide has solid sales and a great fanbase but attracts other acts like the proverbial flies round shit. If Aaron Carter has a deal dont you think Morrisey could if he wished,I think the great man would rather breed cows for now.

As I read the "interview," it occurred to me that it was nothing more than nine minutes of lies. Put another way, I don't believe Morrissey gave that interview. Morrissey is seen with some regularity around LA and why would Morrissey be lamenting a lack of recognition on networks as lame as VH-1, or M-TV?

Also -- and I know this may be a bit of a stretch -- but it seemed that Morrissey has 'dumbed down.' I've poured over almost every written interview of Morrissey ever conducted, but this "interview" just didn't seem like the Morrissey I "know."

I think that the poor soul who made up the 9 minutes with Morrissey interview needs regular 60 minute therapy sessions. His obvious desperate need for attention is a major flaw that really needs working on.
  What was the MAJOR givaway? The supposed prostitution for a record deal from a man who then tells the world that he holds the record for selling out The Hollywood Bowl. The length of some of his answers were also a good clue.
  Now I know that some people out there will think that the glorious California sunshine may have made Morrissey a bit more mellow than before thus making him liable to so far unseen behaviour but I don't think that even the L.A. zombiethon(Should that word be with or without the letter e, I just can't decide) that is modern day Hollywood could make our man that different.
  To put it simply, a sppof interview from a charlatan passing for a journalist.
  There is a light that never goes out.

Just a wee note to say that it was I, nux, who posted this comment. There is no name to it because I had not registered yet due to my POP3 server being down AGAIN. This scurrilous state of affairs has since been rectified.
  I thank you.
