Steve Lillywhite talks Morrissey and The Smiths on Mohr Stories Podcast

Steve Lillywhite was the guest on episode 172 of Mohr Stories (July 5 podcast at fakemustache.com, link posted by eddyjedi at atu2.com). He makes many mentions of Morrissey and The Smiths. And picks The Smiths second in his top 5 favorite bands. And says they are way ahead of the likes of The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. Also says one of the highlights of his musical life was putting Johnny Marr and Keith Richards in the same room to jam together. Jay Mohr at one point asks if he thinks Morrissey is gay and he hesitates and says "Morrissey is very shy and was celibate for quite some time but I would say gay".

Whether Morrissey is gay or not, I care not the least. What does bother me is that Lillywhite felt it ok to essentially out him, which is right in absolute no sense whatsoever. As a LONG time U2 fan, I worshipped Lillywhite for his work with that band. This one act reversed all the respect I had for him. He's just another jackass.

THE GIFT POST THAT KEEPS ON GIVING -

UM...

He is bisexual with heterosexual tendencies...


Please see the myriad of random examples:



Q: You're taken for an aesthete. Are you never attracted by plastic beauty? Women’s physiques?

M: I've had a quite late development on this level. Now if I see a beautiful woman I can be attracted like any man. But I find it very embarrassing. It's the same whether it's an attraction to a man or a woman. Nothing seems to go well with me. The concept of attraction doesn't work. Human relations don't work... If I see someone I find attractive, then I flee in the other direction. I'd be absolutely unable to go and talk to this person. What's the use of going and saying that I find this person attractive? It could never go well between us. The few times when I tried to build relationships - when I was younger - they never worked out for very long. So I gave up

Oh...by the way...my dad's best friend is the keyboard player for Morrissey. And Morrissey is bisexual for sure. He has attraction for the drummer Matt Chamberlain for sure. Take it for what its worth...believe me or not....

Will you send me some pornography? Do you HAVE a girlfriend? Do you LIKE girls? I have a girlfriend called Annalisa. We're both bisexual. Real hip, huh? I hate sex.

no darling - just quoting it from the mozzers mouth.... -

 

[realitybites]

There is more likelihood of the Smiths reforming than there is of Morrissey having sex with a woman. I'm amazed out how blinkered and in denial some fans are regarding his sexuality.

Agree with this.
