This is of more interest to British fans of Morrissey, but IF it ever happened it would be of interest to many others.

Desert Island Discs is a long running BBC Radio programme where the good and the famous choose their favourite eight records and talk through their life story...The records are meant to sustain you through your lonely island existence.

Featured guests have in the past been somewhat of the older variety, but recently actor Ewan MacGregor and trendy chef Jamie Oliver have been on. Next in line could be Mozza. It's been discussed by Radio Four producers who think he'll be perfect and he's been asked to appear, but I understand he hasn't agreed yet...If anyone out there has any sway over Morrissey, please advise him to DO IT...It would be a great chance for him to play exactly what music he likes to a large audience (between one and two million) of intelligent listeners. And imagine how maudlin he'd sound being asked to describe his imaginary life on a desert island...he'd be in paradise!!

  • Morrissey has already done that. In 1984 he was on a BBC radio show called "My Top Ten", a programme where pop stars could choose their top 10 all-time favourites,and discuss their live story as well! Morrissey chose amongst others:
    Be young,be foolish,be happy-The Tams
    Insult to Injury-Timi Yuro
    Message Understood-Sandie Shaw
    Heart-Rita Pavone
    and Death by Klaus Nomi.
    Anyone interested in a copy of the programme should contact me,it is definitely good fun.
    I'm not so sure if Morrissey would do it again,however.([email protected])

  • as Mr Johan de Witt [sounds real Dutch] said
    he has been in several musicshows,even when
    touring oye Eteban, he was a guest at Sean Hughes
    radio show, I've seen pics in here, Morrissey
    walking out of the radio studio

    Give him 1 reason why he should take a plane , and
    appear in radio show in a country who has driven
    him away from his beloved 'old blighty'.

    I give a USA radio show much more chance to get
    Morrissey in a radio show.

  • let's face it folks Morrissey will never sing nor will he perform he hasn't released anything good since 94' so know record label wants to take a chance with a guy who isn't going to top the charts like Britney or Nsync it's over for him let's get over it he's made a pretty good run at it but you can't compete with pop music there's just no room for the little people in this industry he was let go by his label because his best days are gone know so he won't make any tv appearances or concerts he'll just fade away into obscurity like everyone else.
