The new issue of GQ, with Viggo Mortensen on cover, has a new interview with Morrissey, plus several pictures of Moz in various suits. --- This PR Newswire story was posted on the general discussion board by Southpaw Granny on Mar. 15 (link). Smiths Legend Morrissey Speaks With GQ About a Reunion, Getting Older and Why David Bowie Is No Longer Glamorous NEW YORK, March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- In the April edition of GQ, editor-in-chief Jim Nelson was granted a rare opportunity to visit with Smith's legend, Morrissey, at his home in Los Angeles, to talk about the release of his first solo album in seven year and his former band, the Smiths: * On the formation of the Smiths: "I had absolutely nothing else. And it was also a calling, because it instantly became successful, and it didn't require a great deal of effort. Preparation, yes, but not the effort." * On the break-up of the Smiths: "It is commitment, because for me it was a huge emotional investment, and then Johnny [Marr] simply said 'It's over.' And I don't think he understood the investment that I had made in it. * On the re-formation of the Smiths: "I get tired of being asked about re-formations, because there's really only one way to answer on a given question, and I feel I gave the answer 112 years ago, but people still ask me, and I can't understand why." * On getting older: "I absolutely love it. The older I get, the better I feel. I'm fascinated by people in their eighties and nineties. Especially those who are still creating and living in an interesting way. * On David Bowie: "(He is) not the person he was. He is no longer David Bowie at all. Now he gives people what he thinks will make them happy, and they're yawning their heads off. And by doing that, he is not relevant. He was only relevant by accident." Jim Nelson's piece, Morrissey Returns! is in the April issue of GQ on newsstands nationwide on Tuesday, March 23, 2004. GQ is the leading men's general-interest magazine and part of the Conde Nast Publications, Inc.

So I guess those rumors of him selling his L.A. home and moving back to England aren't true then?

I bought the "april" edition of GQ and there was nothing Morrissey-esqye in it?
Don't ask me who was on the cover either, some model that looks the same as any other model.
So how can it be on sale from 23rd march, or whatever.
Confused.

the cover. The interview is very long but I thought it was kind of dull. Nothing really interesting. And the interviewer was terrible.

He has the nerve to say Bowie gives people what he thinks will make them happy....well at least he cares enought to make the people happy, Moz hasnt released nothing but regurgitated compliations and never changes his lame wit at every oppurtunity to open his mouth!
May he drive his Jag right off a cliff! Loser!

I'm sorry but Bowie didn't write "The Queen is Dead" *entire album* either.
And Ziggy wasn't "playing guitar". "Let's Dance!"

Bowie was much more interesting & musically creative when he was off his face during the seventies on drugs etc.
This 'clean' version of Bowie IS boring!

Morrissey, I think, worries far too much about his own relevance, and it breeds dishonesty within himself. I love Moz, obviously, but sometimes his slagging off of other artists is just tiresome.

WELL, AMERICAN TELEVISION IS QUITE DIFFICULT. I LIKE CERTAIN WITTY SITUATION COMEDIES. THERE’S NOT MANY OF THEM. AND MOST OF THEM ARE QUITE OLD.
He has to be talking about "FRIENDS"..which I recall he went to a taping of back in the mid 90s with his friend.. Charlie Sheen???!??!?!?!
Or..it has to be the Simpsons or The Andy Griffith Show :)

In 1995, he jumped on the drum and bass bandwagon with 'Outside', one of the most pretentious and irrelevant records ever made. PC technology and the Internet started to become part of mainstream culture, so he decided to have a computer randomly construct the lyrics...thus avoiding having to sing about anything in a way which might constitute an 'opinion'. Which is one criticism you could never aim at Morrissey at any point in his career.
Quite frankly, the day Morrissey starts alligning himself with the cap-wearing, 'urban' scene, anti-intellectual graffiti-writing culture which seems inescapable in England (although we all know where it started) which Bowie has sold his soul to, will be the day I lose all hope in humnaity.

when i was a teenager and if he's not relevant
now well maybe that's just bad luck.
And after all, maybe fame,popularity, "relevance",
are a rather fated thing....
