Nice interview.

He sounds a lot younger than I imagined, haha.

Safe to assume he is longer and never will be in the fold again if he is talking. Morrissey has zero tolerance for anyone to be blabbin.

I don't think he's particularly said any more than Gustavo has in the one interview he did. Although I just can't see Morrissey running up to Mikey after he played "Auld Lang Syne" and saying "Awesome!"

Mmmm. I wonder if he could sing "Speedway" in Mexican, but that probably won't be a good thing if a middle aged balding white guy comes out to sing it in the Southern California sell outs in 10 seconds Mexican fan gold mine. Anonymous-

yeah right? Actually he said 'Dude that was like so awesome like cool you know.' Kidding aside, must have been a sweet moment.
