Morrissey interview in Rip It Up magazine (New Zealand)

The February/March issue of the New Zealand music magazine Rip It Up features a lengthy interview in London with Morrissey - 'Bigmouth's Only NZ Print Interview', according to the cover. (No mention of whether Morrissey plans to reschedule his New Zealand tour though.) Topics include the new LP, songwriting, Jerry Finn's passing, critics, Smiths reunion rumours, as well as Morrissey and The Smiths' enduring influence. I've transcribed the article in full and posted it at my Morrissey website Lucky Lisp. Follow the link to read.

Photo of Morrissey dressed in a sailor's uniform and flexing his muscles not included!

I should also add I've recently posted a number of other lengthy, older Morrissey/Smiths articles at both The Smiths File Online & Lucky Lisp. As far as I am aware these items are not available at any other Smiths/Morrissey sites. I hope they will provide some enjoyable reading.

The Smiths File Online:
- 'Magnificent Obsessions', Melody Maker, November 26, 1983
- 'These Disarming Men', New Musical Express, February 4, 1984
- 'Laughter In Paradise', Sounds, June 14, 1986
- The Smiths & Sandie Shaw (page) - includes various recently-added items of interest

Lucky Lisp:
- 'Morrissey Comes Out (For A Drink)', New Musical Express, May 18, 1991
- 'The Guv'nor Returns', New Musical Express, April 17, 2004

Please note you may need to scroll down the page to find these items.

Enjoy!

Though Morrissey fits the incongruous mold he holds heaven-high for others, there’s a central irony in his idealization of peculiarity: Droves of nondescripts have, over the years, appropriated his pop-up pompadour, his codified vegetarianism and his boredom with the ordinary; not as their own, but as homage. Fans with this and a different degree of commitment sometimes thrust themselves toward the Morrissey of midlife at concerts, landing on stage and enveloping him in their arms. Each one has become a blip among millions. Here, FILTER finds the man behind the mythology at our very own front door for a closer look.
