=== Morrissey before his visit to Argentina: "Censorship is stronger than ever" ===
=== Morrissey before his visit to Argentina: "Censorship is stronger than ever" ===
In recent years, Morrissey has declared himself in favor of Brexit, against mass migration to Europe, questioned part of #MeToo (which caused Daniel Grinbank to give up producing his show in Argentina) and expressed his support for Anne Marie Waters, leader of For Britain, a right-wing UK party noted as anti-Islam. His interview with the German weekly Der Spiegel, published in December of last year, contained so many controversial texts that Morrissey decided to suspend conversations with print media, with whom he only speaks by email (this is how this note came to fruition). Probably not so much he has changed as the context. The former frontman of The Smiths was always a misrepresentant, and his views on religion, animal rights, music or politics weren't always aligned with mainstream rock discourses. Parallel to this polemical side, in the last decade and a half he has fueled his work with a high-level campaign, a series of records ranging from ''You Are the Quarry'' (2004) to ''Low in High School''(2017). At this point, his solo catalog seriously competes with that of the Smiths, mythologized forever in the Olympus of youthful emotions. Moz responds to these things before his arrival in Buenos Aires, where he will land for the fifth time to play this Friday at the DirecTV Arena.
In recent years, Morrissey has declared himself [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/morrissey-brexit-magnificent-britain-leave-european-union-a7379361.html in favor of Brexit], against [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/morrissey-blames-immigration-for-disappearance-of-british-identity-760825.html mass migration] to Europe, [https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/morrissey-salio-en-defensa-de-kevin-spacey-lo-atacaron-innecesariamente-nid2083795/ questioned part of #MeToo] (which caused [https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/personajes/daniel-grinbank-no-traera-a-morrissey-a-argentina-despues-de-que-justificara-a-kevin-spacey-nid2086458/ Daniel Grinbank to give up] producing his show in Argentina) and expressed his support for Anne Marie Waters, leader of For Britain, a right-wing UK party noted as anti-Islam. His interview with the German weekly [https://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/from-the-editors-the-audio-of-our-interview-with-morrissey-a-1183075.html Der Spiegel], published in December of last year, contained so many controversial textbooks that Morrissey decided to [https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/personajes/morrissey-nego-haber-apoyado-a-kevin-spacey-tras-las-denuncias-de-acoso-nid2090449/ suspend the conversations with written media], with which he only speaks by email (in this way this note was made). Probably he did not change, but the context. The former leader of The Smiths was always an incorrect declarer, and his views on religion, animal rights, music or politics were not always aligned with the dominant discourses of rock. In parallel to this side of debater, in the last decade and a half he fed his work with a campaign of great level, a series of albums ranging from ''You Are the Quarry'' (2004) to ''Low in High School'' (2017). At this point, his solo catalog competes seriously with that of the Smiths, mythologized forever in the Olympus of youthful emotions. On these things Moz responds before his arrival in Buenos Aires, where he will land for the fifth time to play [[Mention::Buenos Aires, Argentina 2018-12-07 (Morrissey concert)|this Friday at the DirecTV Arena]].


'''Over the last decade and a half you've released a lot of albums, something that didn't happen between the late 90's and early 2000's. What changed in your life that led to this fertile period?'''

No label signed me for seven years. Then [[Mention::Sanctuary Records|Sanctuary]] came up, I was like "Yeah!" and ''[[Mention::You Are The Quarry]]'' came out.

Censorship is stronger than ever. This is because music has been found to be just as politically persuasive as the media. If your music is a manufactured product and a bit counterfeited, the guarantee is that you will do well. If you try to promote independent thought, you will be considered a radical, and you will be pushed aside.

'''You said recently about the music press: "You have to write mercilessly about pop artists who probably saved your life." At the same time you're a critical darling. In your case, do you think there are journalists trying to "bury their father"?'''

Sometimes we can feel ashamed for having loved a singer or a band to such powerful levels, and many times the only way to cure the obsession is to cut off the singer's head.

'''You are a master of the catchphrase in pop lyric. One of the last titles that comes to mind is "[[Mention::Home Is A Question Mark|Home Is a Question Mark]]" (home is a question mark), from your most recent album. What can you say about this part of your artistic process?'''

It is, as you assume, a way to stop the eye, or the ear, and people certainly have an enormous capacity to receive, even though there is so much in the commercial arena that insults our intelligence. So a great song title can be just as effective a hook as a great chorus.

It is a wave of emotions to listen to the first rehearsal of a song. Your voice almost starts to sing without you. Suddenly all the musicians are locked up to germinate an idea that crossed my mind on any given Thursday.

I love them almost irrationally… there is no hate involved, I assure you! It is sad and at the same time funny how his music today is considered almost joyful, when during his existence it was barely considered entertainment. Now supermarkets use Ramones songs in TV ads. It can take the world a long time to catch up.
