Suicide comments & suicide lyrics. . . (Score:1, Interesting)
From the comments listed in the Herald i.e.
Reading up on depression, any medical/health support person is advised to take any verbal mention or suggestion of suicide seriously.
If Morrissey were say, someone serving time in prison, would he not be on suicide watch?
It hurts to write such words but am concerned more than 'slightly' about Morrissey.

WELL, Morrissey is very clever and very
interesting.
In my view, nothing ever changes - Morrissey is a star and a true gentleman - and always has been a star and always has been a true gentleman. He turned his life around when the smiths split but just look what fun he
has had, just look what fun we have had....and just look at what he has achieved.
Listening to Morrissey in bed this morning talking about his life and these songs is just wonderful. No one would or could, ever, or never, be bored but right now i am off for toast,
Grazie,
Hazard.

"Nothing comforts me. I think the world is a mesmorizing mess". "I don't want to be an island...except an emotional one".
Whilst the cynic in you agrees to an extent he constantly comes across as a one-dimensional interviewee in that he's permanently answering questions like a child whose been naughty or that of a person answering questions with the aim of giving permanent soundbites. He's interesting with his views but in the world people don't converse with each other by putting out essay style responses.
Sure you've given up expecting anything insightful as to the real Morrissey may be but it's a permanent loops of his influences (Nico, Dolls and the usual suspects), his childhood and his vegetarianism. That would be fine but you get the feeling theres an much more indepth, balanced person in there and thats much more fascinating. Morrissey is Morrissey and as an artist he'll always be special - he's perfectly entitled to be the 'persona' of Morrissey and keep himself private, it's just as an adult you start to realise that a by-product of this is that the image he creates is no different from any other image any other artists puts up - and equally fake.
He spoke about Zen and being happy - I hope he is and that he's enjoying his life. All in all a nice interview and Young was a good sport

Nice interview. Thanks, Moz. (Score:2, Insightful)
She asked some great questions and I really appreciated Moz openly sharing about his formative years, family, mother, father, when the magic of recorded sound clicked for him, parents' views about his career and support, views about relationships/marriage.
Thank you, Moz.

I pay no attention to any of it. Little fools with typewriters trying to make a name for themselves by taking the name of another and twisting it to their own agendas...
Morrissey is a warm, very funny man, and it seems as though only his fans are able to grasp the fact that he has made a career off of highly literate gallows-humor, with tongue ALWAYS in cheek. Says something about the intelligence of the world that so few actually get the joke.

There is a ten year age gap between them (Kirsty YoungER) and they live very different lives; yet I detected a bond. Did any other listeners find this?
This only proves that female interviewer bring out the best in him - whereas he has been noticeably arch and uncomfortable when interviewed by the likes of Jonathan Woss and Jools Holland on television in contrast to his interview with Edith Bowman a few years back. And of course Janice Long always tickles his fancy when she interviews him for her radio programme.
He sounded remarkably truthful - and yet he has reached a state in his life where creating the artifice of authenticity has become second nature both in his songwriting and public persona.
If he was really privately miserable he wouldn't be treading a different stage in a different town every night bringing home the vegetarian bacon slices.

Having said this Moz was savvy enough about the workings of the industry to pull a tried and tested number to deny Joyce and Rourke royalty revenues. This is revisionism by Morrissey.
