in response to questions on Morrissey Solo stuff about my interview with the Mobster on You Tube. It was recorded on April 4 1997, ahead of the release of Maladjusted. As detailed in the book, I shot the interview myself for The Brit Girls series I produced for Channel Four/Granada Television. A few gobbets of footage were used in The Brit Girls series - a clip about Marc Bolan was used in our documentary Dandy In The Underworld (Channel Four September 1997), available without my permission on T.Rex On TV! - but the actual interview lasted over an hour. I'll try and post another clip, shot in a different way, soon. It'll sound hopelessly unprofessional but, although I'm a TV producer, I hadn't actually used a camera like that before. So some of the interview is badly framed and of really poor quality, particularly the sound. Interestingly, Morrissey's comments about Cilla's accent were edited out of the episode of the Cilla Black programme (aka The Black Stuff) for reasons beyond my control!! Also I think I'm right in saying that "Stuff Cilla" appeared on one of The Smiths run-out grooves. Hence the question. Hope this helps? Best wishes, Len Brown

  • The gruel is a bit thin at the moment, so more of the interview would be lovely.

  • He's not so bold and cheeky as he used to be, and I miss that in him. But that's fine, he is still very charming.

    I think, also, he could write or say a great deal about these female singers who, having been a huge influence on his persona, are sadly unknown by people like me, who did not grow up listening to them.

    Who's Cilla Black, by the way? Oh, I forgot I could google, if only I could get my computer cleaned from those tracking cookies...

  • There is no Smiths run-out groove saying "Stuff Cilla".

  • Morrissey looks so beautiful on this video. At 1.04 he looks straight at me. He's such a tease. I feel like i could reach into the screen,and grab him.

  • might be up, the hait thinner, belly and butt
    thicker, but if this is eleven years ago, he
    is in a good shape

  • They say you can tell a lot from the watch a man wears. The watch looks complicated. it has more than one dial. The background is yellow, the band is steel. I conclude that he is a man of complexity.
