As much as I want a new album, I woudl rather see him tour and continue to please his fans and keep whatever PR going that he has. Im a little surprised that Tehran would invite him to play, but perhaps he could open with America Is Not the World?

underplayed, but very funny
as for the rest of his responses, it seems to me that morrissey is a true contradiction. he constantly emphasizes how he "sings to the fans" and needs their response to make a concert a "great experience." Then, in private, he is aloof and shy, almost arrogant. It can't all be an act. Where is this fan loving singer when he is OFF stage? I have had one run in with Morrissey and it was uneventful and actually disheartening. I know that this may be one experience, but I have heard so many stories. Don't rip me, I am just being honest....

'I think it's the only time in my life that I feel right about myself.
Otherwise, I don't have any function at all as a human being....which is unfortunate! I'm not sure if I even exist offstage.'"
The Morrissey that emerges in these question-and-answer sessions (thanks Julia!) conforms so completely to my overly-romanticized image of the man, it just makes me giddy.
Here is this charming, funny, completely self-posessed, iron-willed loner. A man without a country, without a home, without a plan - he lives onstage, in the spotlight, married to the faceless crowd. As the years pass, this becomes ever more poignant.
As for singing in Israel and Iran, that would be an incredible gesture. Alarming, but beautiful.
Morrissey, my friends and I will see you soon, well-dressed and shining, ready to give as good as we get.

Morrissey in Iran - Let's Talk (Score:1)
to have an invitation or offer from Iran is amazing, but i'm wary of the gov't, considering the situation with recent foreign visitors there, i hope he takes all necessary precautions, there's no rule of law in that country, so unfortunate the state of affairs since decisions made in Jimmy Carter's administration
if he wants to meet Persians or learn more about Tehran, i'd love to give him a full report

One advantage to continuing with the tour in these as far off as could be places is that Morrissey might be able to sneak about without being mobbed and soak up some more rare moments in parks feeling expansive under palms etc. He'd need to lip up and do in Rome though for us to get him back in one piece with new perspectives and new moves. It's not the worst dilemna in the world to be stuck with!

Drummers are just bangers mostly, (Although Joyce is an excellent banger...see The Queen is Dead...) but a great bass player is hard to find. Especially Smiths quality greatness.
Listen again and isolate the basslines with your wide open mind. I think you'll like what you find.

Oh, he so should.
I've always wanted him to do a cover of standards with that most beautiful voice of his.
But pop songs would work as well.
It'd be refreshing either way.

Iran (Score:0)
But sometimes I just don't understand this man:
He did a tour boycott because of animal rights but considers touring a state which has recently hanged two teenagers who were said to be gay?
Remember please that it was Morrissey himself who often made a political or moral statement out of his appearances. He cancelled a show in Germany because the venue was a FORMER slaughter-house (which he also could have taken the other way round btw).
Again: I like my Moz, but this Iran thing
Jesus, Iran? (Score:0)
Maybe Morrissey should spend more time trying to understand human suffering than animal suffering. It might make him seem the slightest bit informed.
He keeps getting older, but his knowledge of the world still seems to be stuck somewhere in his bedroom. Try the bottom drawer on the right.

Morrissey's Own Words... (Score:1)
It is therefore impossible to extend Moz much in the ways of agreement and trust, as he discredits himself on virtually every topic that isn't love/love-loss/love-envy/love-starved/love-sapped
The fact that in 2007 he has no education about what is going on in the world as it relates to homicidal maniacs running rich, powerful nations speaks to his admission that he is a very immature man who has yet to grow-up...
For those who will respond with "Oh, he knows Bush is a rich murderer!", like, perhaps 'artful dodger' (who lists as his influences Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell) will...I thank you in advance for flagging yourself as an ass-faced moron... Which, is to say, you're an intellectual light-weight...
But, we'll agree that Morrissey does have an amazing voice and stage show and he puts out great records!
It's good to be back!

I have a question (Score:1)
The next video was "Stop Me..." You know the one, the bicycling, bespectacled Moz boys on parade thru the streets of...?? He coyly looks at the camera about 10 times (are you supposed to look at the camera?! cute!) So, my question to Morrissey (besides can I have a hug) is, "Where were you all peddling to?" The street sign in the beginning shows a cross of Strangeways, Deansgate, Salford and Cheetham Hill...but not which direction the parade went. I think they peddled off to C'Hill?
And who were those young posers? Friends? Relatives? Roadies? Extras? 8-) diggin the glasses!!
I felt like posting a brief, lighthearted, feel-good Morrissey moment that I so needed. And a completely different topic. Old Videos & Moments of Brief Joy. I'm at a maxed-out stage in my life at the moment. So, he got me smiling and took me away. Briefly. Cuz just then, my Mom called me to confirm a sis-in-law has breast cancer. Heaven knows I'm miserable again. Better listen to more Morrissey.
This also goes to show I need to update my video collection. I'm thinking a nice new Oye Estaban CD.

Sylvester
Ponca City, Oklahoma, USA
I can't say. It isn't something I cared about until recent years. Now I'm completely pulled in, but I can't speak with any authority on the subject.
Sylvester's question is straight forward - a direct question requiring a direct answer i.e. the name of at least one 'favourite' painter, whether that is Vincent Van Gogh or Rolf Harris.
But as always beautiful simplicity is raised to levels of labyrinth complexity in 'Mozza World'; a complexity foreign to mere mortals who have to live in everyday reality.
Mr. Morrissey can't answer the question because he's not an 'authority on the subject'. Of course he can't answer the question, he can only exchange thoughts with chavvy mortals like me, you and Sylvester, provided he is the 'expert' on the matters for discussion.
This recalls that excruciating moment on KRoQ radio about ten years ago when HE castigated the sun kissed Californian DJ for not knowing the finer points of Victorian red brick architecture i.e. the poor bastard didn't know his Paladian cornices from his Gothic arches and was humiliated live on air for his understandable ignorance.
The presumption implicit here was that all Californians should know absolutely everything about England, in spite of the very obvious fact they don't reside there.
Instead of taking on an equal, someone with equal intellectual powers, school marm Ms. Maurice E goes for the easy target - a man who only needs a surf board and pair of flip flops to get by in life. Morrissey betrayed his snobbish and bullying instincts big time in this interview.
The trite remark above in italics betrays a breathtaking arrogance and lack of true humility!
Morrissey's head is so far up his own arse he can't even see how pompous he comes across.
