He was very reserved mostly, but very kind and funny when he chose to join in with others. He tended to keep himself to himself but 'let himself go' when he was on stage or in the studio. When he stepped up to the mic he would almost tangibly change and become 'MORRISSEY' and once the mic was turned off he would return to being 'Morrissey'. If you get what I mean.
It was not disimilar to how I have seen Tibetan monks allow themselves to become vessels for Oracles and when they are seized by the 'spirit' they are completely different - a tangible energy.
He also smells lovely.
