This had me howling. Saying Condaleezza Rice has a "Nazi face" (the jowl of cruelty) was a keeper, as well.
The story about the Moors was rightfully terrifying. Morrissey should write it as a short story. And then he should finish that autobiography!

One of the oddest things he's ever said (Score:0)
If they were so sure it was a ghost, then why tell the police about it? The man is mental. So he would have stopped the car if it was a giant squirrel having a bit of a lie down, especially a grey one.However not for a naked man.Perhaps this is just a roundabout way of saying he's not in the gays after all.
Some interesting points. (Score:1, Interesting)
Although, I do like the fact that he feels the same way I do about a female president (not merely for the sake of it), but his gushing praise for Obama was suspect. I would assume that he understood the absolute artificiality of political figures of any persuasion.
Finally, it's sad to hear that he actually believes in ghosts. I always thought that he was bit more realistic than that. The description certainly sounds embellished. Oh, and the part about Bowie and Bolan being effeminate? What the hell did he thing he was in the 80's? Manly?
I mean, I couldn't care less, but you know that there were more than a few ornery feminists scrunching their brows when he used such definitive terms to distinguish male and female traits. He seems to have a distrust of "ambitious" women. You know, kind of how many women feel towards each other.
Morrissey's teenage romanticism tends to grind, but that's what happens when you've lived in a bubble for most of your life. As much as he likes to separate himself from the celebrity pack, he suffers from some of the same delusions. At times he seems to recognize this, but if you catch him with his guard down, then you can tell that he's just itching to defecate on anything that doesn't directly relate to his imagination.

Pussy Talk With Swallowneck (Score:0)
I have two cats - Bez (14 year olt "tom" cat) and Tallulah Baby. Several years ago Swallowneck was tickling Bez's tummy whilst watching tv and he didn't realise that his hand was rubbing lower as Bez had curled his purring body around Swallowneck's wrist. Before I knew it Swallowneck was rubbing Bez's testicles... It was not long after this that I took Bez to the vet for a "little operation", so any danger of a repeat molestation has disappeared!

still not convinced. He was "flirting!" No, he was just being gay.
Also, I found it really comical that he referred to Bowie and Bolan as feminine, when he, himself appeared as a "women in a man's body" throughout his career. Of course, fat girls with low self-esteem find that attractive.
Also, I like how he danced around the question about having sold his music to commercials. Was he, or the interviewer aware that "How Soon is Now?" played in a Nissan commercial no too long ago? When asked he replied "Not really?" What kind of political answer is that? It's a yes or no question, and the song could not have been used without his permission.
The interviewer seemed a bit daffy, to be honest.

Cat Stance (Score:2, Informative)
"People are afraid of it [glam rock] because they see that there’s a truth in it, there’s a truth in it for all of us. We all have the feminine side to our personalities, and most people in American society want to deny it, and the locker-room jock is celebrated always, even though their attitude is absolutely thick and useless, but it’s always celebrated, it’s never criticized. The feminine side is associated with art, and it’s threatening because it’s associated with intellect, and superiority."
Now that's a quote you can write home to your mother about.
This statement alone to me best illustrates why Bowie, Bolan, and the Dolls appealed so much to him; for they helped generate his attitude about gender; that is, the idea of humans possessing both masculine and feminine natures and having them in balance, rather than in conflict is what one must strive for. This must have seemed very revolutionary to a young Morrissey, though actually it is a very old ideal and is found quite prevalent in Eastern philosophy.

Question about his "stance on kids" (Score:0)
The only time I recall Moz being asked about kids was on this interview picture disc I had in the 80's. The journalist asked him -- pretty much out of the blue -- would you ever like to have kids someday. Morrissey said yes, but sounded doubtful that it would ever happen. He noted that people who would make wonderful parents often remain childless, while people (I'm paraphrasing here) who are ill-equipped both financially and intellectually "just have streams and streams of little children."

A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong.
"I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidently hit this rabbit and killed it."
The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to her car trunk and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit. Miraculously, the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped down the road. 50 feet away the rabbit stopped, turned around, waved at the two again, hopped down the road another 50 feet, turned, waved, and hopped another 50 feet. The man was astonished. He couldn't figure out what substance could be in the woman's spray can! He ran over to the woman and demanded, " What was in your spray can? What did you spray onto that rabbit?" The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said:
"'Hare Spray' Restores Life to Dead Hare. Adds Permanent Wave."
