MORRISSEY WITH SEAN HUGHES ON GLR AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT AT 'THE FORUM', KENTISH TOWN, LONDON. November 1999.
/TRANSCRIPT OF THE BEGINNING:...
Sean: Morrissey is here with us, good day to you sir.
Morrissey: Good day to you, sir.
S: Eh, you're back on form, the gig was fantastic last night...
M: Well, I think it was a.. great night, very enjoyable, great crowd, and er... hopefully three more to come at The Forum.
S: Yeah, why four fairly small gigs, rather than one big one?
M: It was just the offer made to me. And it was a good offer, and I thought the venue's quite nice so... that was it really. I mean, where do you play?
S: Well, North London, thanks for that, [M chuckles], cos y'know.. no matter how much I love you, if you were down Brixton Academy, it was.. touch and go...
M: Oh, very, very, very dodgy, yes I know...
S: And three.. well, not costume changes, but, within a sense...
M: Well, as close as I come to costume changes, yeah, and er... every one, very worth seeing, I think... [chuckles]
S: No, you got your, er, I like the West Ham Boys thing.
M: Thank you.
S: I liked the shirt, that was very... looked quite expensive...
M: Well, Prada, quite expensive...
S: Prada?!
M: Yes, yes, yes...

I worked on Sean's show. I was looking through the window at this interview. In fact I went to bring Morrissey into the studio from the front door, as my colleagues got suddenly (and very rarely) star struck. Sean was a very natural interviewer. I was very lucky to work on this show for over a year.

RIP Sean Hughes. Died today aged just 51. This was such a wonderful interview.

[@suzy994]

his voice is hypnotizing :)

[@jaysmithcool]

morrissey sounds so comfortable here

[@madforit2]

"Everything about me is unleaded" the man is rent a quote. So much quick wit

[@NowhereFast94]

"Slightly" West Ham, haha that's better than nothing! I really love this interview... I really think he always sounds a bit more open and relaxed when not on the massive, mainstream stations, makes for much better interviews. Thanks for uploading!

[@brassneck96]

Rest in peace Sean Hughes x

[@GreyRose93]

Brilliant interview... Saw Morrissey at the Brixton academy tonight. He played a new song which i really like, Art Hounds, hope he manages to get it released, can't find any recordings of it on youtube.

[@kezc4312]

The interviewer states, “I wish you would rise above that. You’re better than these people”. So true.

This comic exchange has ended too soon. Could listen to Sean Hughes and Morrissey whatever the topic. Ty

[@morrissey07]

Interviewer: "....are you West Ham?" Morrissey: ".....er, slightly"

[@zargonthemagnificent330]

He sounds reasonably normal, pleasant and genial here. How time changes people.

[@mikaelsjoberg1894]

What about it?

[@MeanManu]

Is the very first interview, were Moz references his Mexican fans ?

[@DarlinJacq]

23:48 The Goddess blesses your smartly decorated bedroom of your youth

Sean Hughes went to my school. Coincidence? I think not.

At 37:50 - "Just in that car, driving around......." "Yes, stooping over the wheel...." "Unleaded, I hope". "Oh Yes, c[ompletely] everything about me is unleaded.....". lol.

You are The Only Love in Your life -until You meet Me, that is...

[@sunnysyl7]

Nothing changes with Fox hunting 😢

[@UnderTheAffluence]

"You're not gonna have a problem getting a label..." "Well, you know. It's an ever-changing world."

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

He really doesn't like meat eaters. Good interview. He came on to promote his music even though he didn't say it, right?

[@bensimps123]
