[Irish Budd]

Thanks for posting this.
Excellent read.

Is the photograph from 2002 as well?

There is ZERO chance of any reunion, even just him and Marr.

I second that, but please keep in mind that this was 5 years ago. Relations between the two seemed to have thawed slightly since then.

A curious point though - the interviewer says that Morrissey and Marr haven't spoken since 1987 except during the court case, but that was between their lawyers. However I remember reading an interview with Moz from around 1994 and he said that he and Marr speak frequently, which was an "enormous relief" for him.

I assume so, but Moz looks a lot younger in the pic than he did in '02.

The photo is from 1995.

Okey dokey - here we go, quick and dirty scans - the interview concludes on the right-hand side of the third page. Flickr resizing strikes again, but you can just read the text.

Thanks a lot. I remembered this interview and when he has started wearing a denim suit recently, I immediately thought of it being mentioned there. Thanks again!

The photo is from 1995.

Do you know what it was used for then?
As it's by Jane Bown it would have been used to accompany an article in The Observer.

The Observer is supposed to be launching a digital archive, so it should be availiable online soon.

2002 seems so long ago, as for his comments about various ex-Smiths, they made me blush as much now as they did then.

Am sure it wasn't on the site yesterday!

Thanks for the scans. I realize it is dated but still fascinating. It reminded me of all the things I love about him...

A great read (and a nice photo). Thanks very much.
