Thanks for the memories, Sonny Jim. I still have that copy of Q magazine in storage somewhere. Wasn't Moz living in Los Angeles then? The photos with that article were fantastic. Moz looked so handsome and masculine. I think that was a happy time for him. One of my favorite quotes from Moz is from 1987: "I've been termed a manic depressive--usually by people who've never met me--but I am capable of looking on the bright side. I just don't do it very often". (from the book, Morrissey in his own words).

''Q: ...Do you indulge sexually and pharmateutically?
M: No, I don't. But just because I don't, I don't feel like a social casualty and I don't feel I need to prove anything to anybody.''
 
Following "Speedway"'s slow intro he shouted "Goodbye!" and pretended to leave the stage. After the song he said "Don't hold back, let it out, otherwise: flatulence!... Your eyes are drooping... Yes!".
From the new Japaneses YouTube channels which covers many comments Morrissey makes during the show
 
“The good and the bad must be documented. Life is a serious business, so why pretend it isn't? I’m amused by modern pop artists who can only sing about s.e.x… as if nothing else mattered on the planet.”
From a conversation with Billboard in 2014.

I share his opinion about the endless sex-themed pop songs. It wouldn't be so bad if in their songs sex was mentioned fleetingly or some awkward lines, like "Your sexy whispers confuse me", but no – the more raunchy the lyrics, the more hype (and, of course, more money). I don't consider it music, it's impossible to listen to.
 
‘Why can't you bring figs all pulpy and moist?
Roasted in passion and salty in voice?
No longer keeping a secret of your secret place’




hmm, don’t know. I mean, that’s pretty raunchy. ;)
 
"Whoever says The Smiths have split shall be severely spanked by me with a wet plimsoll."
from Morrissey: In His Own Words by John Robertson, but taken from where, when what?

A few quotes here too from a fond C4 report on the launch of Autobiography

Quite a few I didn't know.
I like this one: “Music is like a drug, but there are no rehabilitation centres.”

“Yes I have had a tan, actually. I went to Los Angeles and got one there, but it didn’t make it back to Britain. You’re not allowed to come through customs with a tan.” :ROFLMAO:
