Who would be a good person to interview Morrissey now?

Who would be a challenging, but not unsympathetic interviewer for Morrissey now? I'd suggest Nick Cave.....

I had the same thought yesterday, re Nick Cave. (Never really cared for his music, but his mind is fascinating.)

I've said it before on here, but Louis Theroux would be so, so interesting for this job.

And a long shot, but: JK Rowling.

Freddie Sayers

I think we had this question before. I nominated Russell Brand. They've both gone loony (Morrissey mildly, Brand wildly) since the 2009 interview, itself a good one, and I think in a new encounter they could potentially feed off each other's socio-political craziness. You'd have a good chance of it going into "Alice-Walker-endorsing-David-Icke" territory for one if not the both of them. But really, anyone outside the Dodwell/Rayner axis would be a blessing.

Second choice: Johnny Marr.

Douglas Murray.

My god, what a tremendous bitchfest that would be.

Jonathan Ross, presuming that they are still on good terms.

Louis would be great.

Ah, apologies for going over old ground - relative newbie here! Yes, I just wish M would agree to be interviewed by someone who is equally sharp, able to engage intellectually without laying elephant traps or being overly sycophantic. The Brand interview is hilarious.

Will Self?

He would be amazing.
Lorraine Kelly would be wonderful Failing that then fellow Urmston born Matthew Kelly. Then he could tell Matthew, Tonight Matthew I'm going to be Morrissey

There are a number of people Moz should feel confident giving interviews to. Several good names suggested here.

How about british writers Jon Savage or Michael Bracewell? Or (former journalist) Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys?

Good suggestions, but I suspect neither Savage nor Tennant would want to do it these days, because of M's "views".

Any proper journalist will suffice, these days.
