A LARKS’ TONGUE IN APRIL.
conversation with Morrissey,
April 2019, by Sam Esty Rayner.

Excerpt:
"sam:
You cancelled 6 shows in Italy because of the incident. People are beginning to think your middle name is Cancellation.
M:
I know. But, as far as I can see, many bands cancel and nothing is ever said about it. The song and dance made about my cancellations is usually from people who wouldn’t go to the concert in the first place.
sam:
But you will play the Canada dates?
M:
Yes.
sam:
Is your hand bad? Obviously it’s covered.
M:
The stitches are out now but if I had shaken anyone’s hand last week blood would have spurted. That’s not a nice greeting.
sam:
I don’t think anyone ever believes that you’re ill, or that you fell, or whatever.
M:
I know....

Dave Grohl compares Billie Eilish to Morrissey while discussing her music with Josh Homme - NME
Excerpt:
The Foo Fighters frontman revealed he was a fan of the ‘Bad Guy’ pop star earlier this year, after his daughter began listening to her music. “Are you kidding?” Eilish said in response, explaining that she grew up on Grohl’s work.
Appearing on Josh Homme’s Alligator Hour radio show, the musician has now compared Eilish’s fanbase to that of the former Smiths singer – explaining how seeing her live for the first time “felt like you were a part of something that was just about to explode”.

Morrissey - Suedehead - Track 1 - Saro's Spotify Pride Month Playlist
Morrissey, "Suedehead"
"This song is reminiscent of one of the first sexual relationships I had. 'Why do you come here when you know it makes things hard for me?' To me, this song represents the aloofness or inability to commit that is the final line of defense protecting your heart from breaking."

Who is the voice at the beginning of The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths?
16 June 2019, 18:00 | Updated: 16 June 2019, 18:01
"Take me back to dear old Blighty..." kicks off The Smiths' finest album, but who's behind the voice?
Anyone listening to The Smiths’ masterpiece The Queen Is Dead is familiar with how the title track - and LP as a whole - opens. A female voice - joined by some drunk-sounding revellers - sings a jaunty song that begins “Take me back to dear old Blighty! Put me on the train for London town! Take me over there, drop me anywhere, from Liverpool, Leeds or Birmingham, well I don’t care…”
The voice tails off as Johnny Marr’s guitar feedback and Mike Joyce’s incredible drumming signals the beginning of one of the most compelling songs in The Smiths’ catalogue.
The clip is taken from the 1962 film...
