Moz interview

Morrissey hardly ever does interviews, and when he does it always gets a lot of attention because of the fact that it's so rare. This article was published yesterday in the American newspaper LA Weekly and it was actually Morrissey himself, or ok, his manger that contacted the newspaper for an interview. You may have read it already but if you haven't I can truly recommend it. It's far from a traditional interview where the journalist just rambles on and try to ask as many question as possible with short answers. No, this time he really gets to talk and you can tell that he is comfortable with the journalist Kate Sullivan. The subjects in the interview was quite odd sometimes but also funny and interesting. Ghosts, squirrels and politics was some of the things they talked about. It was more of a conversation rather than an interview actually. Like a conversation between two friends, nice and charming.

And, as I love quotes I'll give you some from the int...conversation.

She has a Nazi face. (On Condoleezza Rice)

This is why live music is so important, because it’s the only moment when it’s untouched by anybody other than the artist who is singing the song. Unless you’re somebody dreadful like Madonna or Britney Spears, who mime when they’re onstage.

Horrendous, horrendous. It’s worse than a human passing away. (On cats)

He’s a global embarrassment. Unfortunately, he’s turned America into the criminal nation in the eyes of the people in the Middle East — and in England. (On George Bush)
