Not a clue. Morrissey doesn't seem to enjoy doing interviews unless they're via email.Why can’t he?
Oh! I read “can’t be on...” instead of “has never been on...”. My bad. But yeah, I agree. Damn shame. I know he prefers email when being interviewed by people he doesn’t know or really trust, but I think he could trust Jonesy. He seems like a decent guy and they like each other.Not a clue. Morrissey doesn't seem to enjoy doing interviews unless they're via email.
Why can’t he?
Well he can thank the bassist Glen Matlock for composing all the best Pistols tunes. This present cover is wallpaper rock'n'roll music, he treads water reallyhes a legend,what a life hes had.good spin on the original.
That said, he’s done numerous tv and radio appearances over the years. Some of them are really great. Some he even seems comfortable (Margi Clarke 1985-ish, J Ross 2004, Edith Bowen 2006, Desert Island Discs 2009, BBC Culture Show 2006).Stage fright.
He's fine singing with his band - but that's about it. Everything else including stage banter seems an ordeal.
The Jonathan Ross interview in 2004 is one of Morrissey's finest performances of the last 20 years.That said, he’s done numerous tv and radio appearances over the years. Some of them are really great. Some he even seems comfortable (Margi Clarke 1985-ish, J Ross 2004, Edith Bowen 2006, Desert Island Discs 2009, BBC Culture Show 2006).
Totally agree! He is on fire!The Jonathan Ross interview in 2004 is one of Morrissey's finest performances of the last 20 years.
Yes! As recently as 15 years ago, Melvis was asked to appear on television. Lol!That said, he’s done numerous tv and radio appearances over the years. Some of them are really great. Some he even seems comfortable (Margi Clarke 1985-ish, J Ross 2004, Edith Bowen 2006, Desert Island Discs 2009, BBC Culture Show 2006).
f***ing CLASS, Jonesy! Superb cover. That little solo at the end was gorgeous.
And what a masterpiece of a song this is. It’ll never get old. One of our Mozzer’s finest pieces of art.

You don’t think he seems comfortable bantering with Wonathan Woss? Or being completely silly with Margi Clarke? Or picking his favorite records with Kirsty Young?They might seem numerous gathered together but it's practically nothing.
I agree some are great - I wouldn't go as far as comfortable though.

No! He's got all the wee give aways of nervous tension. But his mind didn't go blank, so that's good.
Amen. I know Morrissey distrusts journalists so much that he's effectively refused all interviews in recent years, but I really think he'd get on great on Joney's Jukebox - Steve has such a relaxed interview style I can't really imagine anything stressful or akward for Moz coming up. He might even actually enjoy himself.It's a shame Morrissey has never been on Jonesy's Jukebox. Can't imagine it's for lack of an invitation.
I don't think he drew Morrissey out of his shell in the least.The Russell Brand interview was alright too.
Really?I don't think he drew Morrissey out of his shell in the least.
Really?
I think this "interview" is the most comfortable I've ever heard moz in an interview situation:
