This was wonderful - so touching to hear Morrissey pay tribute to the great Billy Fury.

I heard this first time round and taped several of the songs- I'm eternally grateful to Morrisey for turning me on to two of my fave tracks of all time; 'Heart' and 'Insult to injury'.. I already loved Timi Yuro but didn't know this song. Anyone who also digs her should check out 'Wrong' and 'Interlude' by her. Francoise Hardy is simply a Goddess.

We used to cling to every Morrissey interview back in the 80s, be they audio or written. He was our voice in the desert. Now, he rarely speaks, and says almost nothing when he does.

Hardly surprising really...hes slated every time he says anything these days. So i expect hes sick to the back teeth of hearing all the whinging over whatever it is he has supposedly said and who ges offended now! I love the guy...he says whst he thinks...everyones too politically correct. And probably thats only put on for show, and they dont really feel that way at all. People are like sheep. Just follow what they read about and hear... I appreciate what Morrisey has to say on various subjects! We need more people like him! 😁

People don't deserve any effort from Morrissey, he doesn't need to prove anything anymore.

Interesting. I'm sure, on reflection, Morrissey would agree he was unfairly harsh on the contemporary music that surrounded him at the time. If anything, he was in the middle of a musical renaissance without realising it, of which he was very much part of.

Morrisey says "annie" not "enny" for any. Pure Irish.

Different topics of course but the way he speaks reminds me of a young Brian Clough. Not sure there are any other similarities though.

His taste hadn't changed, he was just hiding his proto-punk influences from his audience at this time. As he got older, he re-embraced his first teen loves more, as we all tend to do.

@beecee2205 Жыл бұрын

@@wilmarobertson We do indeed. When you read this list though you can understand though why Marr had enough of these sorts of tracks. Its just a small skip away from claiming Cilla Black is all that. Dont get me wrong I love Mozzer, but he did go through a weird old phase at this moment.

Nico had a flat, monotone voice, without the innovation that The Velvet Underground had. It's no accident that Nico's best work was with VU.

Funny when you were younger you would have hung on every word Morrissey said. Now in middle age I just think what a pompous ass he was. Still love The Smiths though.

@katewolfspirit6722 2 жыл бұрын

For me it's the polar opposite, I didn't really delve too much into The Smiths as I was a bit young but now I'm really enjoying listening to all their stuff again. For me, their songs are timeless and I find Morrissey's humour hilarious, I love the way he describes things. Greetings from Hampshire ;-))
