There is an article in the latest edition of the Radio Times( 1-7 May)-It is written by Mark Ellen form ‘Word’ magazine to promote a new BBC2 programme this Saturday: ‘I’m in a Rock ‘n’ Roll band’ . The programme ‘examines the constituent parts of the ultimate rock band- this week it’s the lead singer-culminating in a live show next month where industry experts discuss their favourite musicians and create the ultimate fantasy band’
There is a rather nice drawing of our Moz in his Smiths days, and when choosing his favourite singer, Ellen writes: ‘it’s probably just easier to go straight for the greatest living rock n roll matinee idol on the planet. The people’s poet. The effortless dispenser of philosophical maxims and deathless bons mots. He of the cantilevered hair. The funniest, sharpest, most mercurial man of the moment. Morrissey.’
Unfortunately I do not know if Morrissey will be featured on the programme-but it looks promising.
Also, on Monday 3/5/10 on Radio 2 at 8pm they review the programme, and this is followed by ’The record producers’ at 10pm, focusing on Stephen Street. It mentions Strangeways and Viva Hate and that Marr will contribute and: ‘Morrissey was, predictably unavailable for comment, though there’s a chance to hear some previously unaired demos by the inscrutable star’.
Could be interesting.
