Morrissey speaks!!! Morrissey Moments (cached) - Santa Fe Reporter (week of Aug. 28-Sept. 3, 2002) Excerpt: Morrissey Moments SFR's Jonanna Widner talks with the King of Sorrow. BY JONANNA WIDNER I caught up with Morrissey a few hours before one of his two shows in Salt Lake City. Actually, I wouldn't call it "catching up" with him: You don't really "catch up" with Morrissey, so much as he sort of glides into your life over the telephone and spend a few surprisingly comfortable moments there. On paper, his wit, charm and, well, sweetness can fall flat, but even during our brief, static-y long-distance call he seemed engaged and genuine; if he was faking, he was very convincing. We spoke for about 15 minutes, and as the phone hung up, he sort of glided back out of the room, like a specter. A specter that happened to influence, in some way, almost every band that you listen to. JW: Hello. M: Hullo. How are you doing? M: I'm scraping through. Is the Morman reception a little different than most places? M: It's open-armed, actually. Really? M: Yes, so I'm thinking of joining.

So, isn't it nice to see this, so honest and so simple. No MTV extras needed for this interview!

And I feel like those songs are mine; they're nobody else's. I don't think the other three group members ever felt that those songs belonged to them because I don't think they never understood the songs.

I can understand his point of view but some things are better left unsaid.

But why not "where's the album?" (Score:1)
Like, what's the story with the new songs?
IS there an album coming out?
Why did he feel the urge to go on tour now, and why the kinda strange choice of songs to play?
Oh well, we'll never learn.

...she asked him when was the last time he "came to the states." His answer is early 2000. Isn't that a bit weird since he LIVES here? And not asking about new material or a record deal is just plain lazy.
If this wasn't in a major city's paper, I'd be inclined to smell a trace of fabrication.
Pleasant man, though, Morrissey or not! :)
Cheers,

Has this questioner even heard of Morrissey? (Score:1)
"Do you listen to hip-hop at all?"
See Panic
"How do you relate to the Smiths' body of work? Do you still listen to it? "
He performs it every other night
Overall, it is good to hear the Moz's charm.

Morrissey lives in LA! Am I missing something here? Did he understand "this state" rather than “to the states”?
Really how can anyone think this was a good interview?
No questions about the a new album, nothing really insightful about the new songs.
No come back after the bold statement of "... I don’t think they never understood the songs..."
And if he doesn't believe even the other band members could understand the songs could anybody else be capable of it in his opinion?
This interview was just like any other... very mediocre.
“How do you feel about interviews? I mean, 20 years of them.
M: Well a lot of them are quite peculiar, but occasionally I think its worth it for the moments when you feel that the person you're talking to really does understand you.”
Give me one example of how she understands him? Get into his head, reporter! Ask him if he is Still Ill or something?? Ask him about other solo artists. Popa Roach, Eminem? This woman is out of her wits!
Jeez what a wasted opportunity.

Although I find the interview somewhat lacking in creative punch (i.e.inventive...persuasive...original...
questions), I did find it refreshing to see someone treat Moz with the proper amount of respect. He is an icon...probably among the last of the true ones. Can a new record be far behind? Also has he raised the possibility of releasing his upcoming on the internet???

How many famous people can make such a claim - and actually be telling the truth? None that I can think of...but dear boy Morrissey. And in response to his last words: at the end of every performance I've attended, I think to myself, "it was too short; I can't wait until he returns!"
