Morrissey Exclusive: Calling it Quits? - Filter Magazine

by Staff; Photo by Michael Muller | 01.12.2009

In a recent interview with Filter magazine, Morrissey talked about his music, his life, the new record (Years of Refusal, February 17), and as you will find below, the prospect of quitting the biz. Here’s the nugget:

How many more years do you want to continue making music?

Morrissey: “I don’t want to go on much longer, really. I think that would suggest a lack of imagination. A certain lack of dignity also. There has to reach a point where you’ve said enough, I think.”

For the complete interview and cover article, check out the next issue of Filter, hitting the stands in February.

Mentioned previously on Dec. 15 (story) but getting a lot more airplay now:

During Sunday's American football (NFC) playoff game, a commercial started with the familiar guitar riff intro from "Glamorous Glue." It then kinda' choppily segued into Morrissey singing "everyone lies..." It was a promo spot for the new Tim Roth crime drama, Lie To Me, where Roth plays a guy who can catch any person in a lie.

W.H. Smith writes:
"Lie To Me", a new psychological drama starring Tim Roth on FOX uses 'Glamorous Glue' as a music bed for a :30 TV Promo seen tonight during the Carolina Panthers / Arizona Cardinals playoff game.

The promo specifically highlights the beginning riff and of course the lyrics, "everyone lies, everyone lies".
