Cheers.

... who will scan it? Thanks.

Sorry for wasting everyone's time with this, but...

I noticed that this was posted by Steven Pottle. If you are Steven Pottle from East Anglia then Hello! this is Chris (met at Moz/Bowie show in Birmingham) - haven't spoken to you for years. Send me an email to [email protected]

Ooh! It's Moz-Friend's Reunited!

Again, apologies to everyone else. I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing

With thanks to Duncan D Shammy! Fantastic scans, thank you very much Mr.Shammy.

cheers

which is a relief after the awful one in The Guardian. Moz coming up with some shrewd comments, witty observations etc without going over the same old stuff and thankfully there's hardly anything on the c**** c***.
The Ordinary Boys are playing Meltdown (haven't yet heard Moz talk directly about them), he mentions how the Germans feel proud about their flag so why can't the Brits, 'America is not' features the line "I love you America" because otherwise he'd have been arrested (!), his thoughts on the Madrid bombing (obviously quite a recent interview) and many other interesting insights. Well done Moz!
John, England

George W's war?

The Spanish pulling out of Iraq a good thing?

Gosh, Morrissey is really dumb when it comes to international affairs! It's fair for me to comment on his comments because he's the SINGER that's putting them out there.

Morrissey is a gay, black woman...at least, I think those are lyrics to his song bashing the US...saying that we won't be a good country until we have a gay, black woman as president. What?

Morrissey, go back to doing what you do best and shut up already about a topic which you obviously have not been challenged on in debate.

By the way, any time, any place, cowboy!

I was fascinated to learn that he had all the Smiths covers as posters in his room at one point or another, growing up!!!

And, I guess I have to say it, the journalist does bandy about the words "boyfriend" and "sex," so to one journalist at least, Morrissey's sexuality seems crystal clear.

..that The Guardian interview wasn't much cop at all (except for the depression quote, which he expounded on in this interview).

Fascinating answers to very good questions! The interviewer is obviously intelligent, but calling the praise given Vauxhall "rubbish" is a bullshit statement. Couple of nasty typos, too ("Boyfriend on the Payroll"?, not to mention the title gaff). The throaway comment about the excised interview answers being about "boyfriends and sex" made the interviewer sound like a catty little bitch.

Still, an excellent interview with lots of tidbits we've never heard before. I loved how Morrissey flipped the answer to the Johnny Marr question. His mind is as sharp as a needle in your eye!

A sub-text that Morrissey is Gay, a portrayal that a question about Women under 30 he finds attractive is couched in the manner of 'as if!' and yet this is contradicted by another recent article where Morrissey states that all the people he has ever been in love with have been women.

i just write any of the seconds of the album

MORRISSEY "My eyes were still open"
1.Please always say to me
2.So great to love and feeling loving too
3.Evil and beautiful woman
4.Through all mouth
5.I hide my love and i i will be mute
6.Full of love
7.And if her lover?
8.Oh thank you my god
9 Why did you awake me?
10 You enough rich now
11 To me in any minute not hard to distance you

please write any one of these songs Morrissey
what do you think?

with another Moz interview due in the NME tomorrow, the KROQ interview, Tokion, ID, The Guardian...I can see that there will be much picking of holes in everything Morrissey says.

An interesting contradiction was in the KROQ interview when he said he doesn't follow fashions and isn't interested in being part of scenes or anything that is "trendy-wendy" and yet in I-D he says that trendy people are the most important people in the world.

Not sure his remark about a bomb going off in a UK shopping centre very soon was needed...I think we all know it's inevitable at some point but prefer not to say the words...

Which compliation CD is being referred to?

The constant switching of tenses is confusing the hell out of me.

I went out and bought I-D this evening. Ostensibly to read the Morrissey interview again, which I glanced at briefly at lunchtime today on the scanned pages in here.

Forget Morrissey, it's Marianne Faithful's interview that's most interesting!

While Morrissey takes the biscuit for up-his-own-arse pretentiousness - (did he really rush out to buy American GQ every month back in the late 70's after he cashed his dole cheque at the local post office? Didn't he have more urgent and pressing purchases to make than a glossy style mag from the USA? Like say Nico's back catalogue, or a pair of socks and a pair of kecks, or a tin of Kite-Kat for his pussy cats?) - Marianne Faithful should stand on the podium this summer and claim the gold medal. Her head is so far up there they'll have to put the medal around her ankles.

Here she is on her royal lineage:

"Through my mother, I am a direct descendant of Count Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, whose erotic novel Venus In Furs spawned the word 'masochism'. Big friggin' deal Marianne! You didn't write it, so why mention it? But that is her particular lineage, someone's girlfriend back in the sixties, then Ginsberg's poetic muse, now Kate Moss's best friend. She can't be successful in her own right. For as far as Marianne is concerned it's who she is connected to that really counts, including Count Sacher-Masoch!

Apparently she has been officially excommunicated from the Anglican church by bell, book and candle. Sounds exotic to say the least.

Funny that, because yesterday in an Irish Sunday newspaper, she claimed, "I'm Jewish, what can I say?"

On seeing a Nazi mural in Morrocco with Mick back in the 60's (yes that one, no second names required in RockWorld except of course You Know Who) she spluttered, 'You've got to get me out of here Mick! I'm Jewish.'

Apparently it was the first time she told him. It just begs the question, how can someone claim to be Jewish in one interview and an excommunicated Anglican in another one. Doesn't make sense.

It only makes sense if we come to believe she's just a friggin' liar like a lot of celebrities - no names mentioned to protect the innocent!

Then get this. Apparently Allen Ginsberg named her:

'Professor of Poetics of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poets'.

I bet she was escorted swiftly into nightclubs; and got instant major discounts at Gucci and Pucci with that sobriquet, not to mention free dinners at The Ivy.

Bah humbug.

Did he call her that whilst she was a smack junkie on the on The Wall in Soho thirty odd years ago or was he actually there when he said it? Who knows. I bet she must have been staring at the stars on many a night after getting her 'Smack Hits' back in those days. Ach, the poetry of it all.

"She still seems to trade on the power of the Rolling Stones brands," said the journalist who interviewed her. Well ex-girlfriends on the payroll do that type of thing.

"I'm a special kind of actress, not any everyday actress," she goes on to say. Meaning she ain't Jesse Wallace off of mucky old EastEnders.

"I'm more a musical artist," she muses.

A musical bullshit artist if you ask me.

"Although I'm international, I feel very European and I was very clever at school you know."

Do clever girls ever end up with their knickers around their ankles and a melting Mars Bar up their nethers, before the flashing bulbs of the papparazzi?

Some people don't half delude themselves.

So since we now know she's a liar, does that mean that the above story about a Mars bar NOT melting right up there between her legs in the company of the Rolling Stones (living and dead) is false?

It would seem to be.

She's a tough Ole Bird is Marianne.

Getting tougher As Years Go By!

Stupid British magazine, stupid American distribution distribution system... the APRIL i-D just arrived here...and all the British newspapers come without the magazine sections. Honestly, I'm sure that you brits aren't having half the problems getting US mags. We loved him even when you were calling him a racist and your judges were maligning his character and this is the thanks we get!!!!! I'll say it again: grrr!
