MORRISSEY INTERVIEW ON XFM, MAY 2004

MORRISSEY BEING INTERVIEWED ON XFM BY IAN CAMFIELD, 17th MAY 2004. / On 'You Are The Quarry' UK release.

[@DoctorMeatDic]

I was 15 when I first heard "Last of the Famous International Playboys". I'm 36 now and still listen to Morrissey and The Smiths nearly every day. He's been with me 21 years now :-)

[@TheArticulatingAnoraksPodcast]

You must be 45 now? Do you still listen to Morrissey and The Smiths nearly every day?

[@championsofeurope5x]

morrissey is a god ive met the man and spoke to him.he is a legend

[@jimnewcombe7584]

You're in some confusion about what constitutes a god.

[@freya8133]

@@jimnewcombe7584 I don't believe in God or gods but he is as close as it gets.

[@AHormonalHippo]

morrissey sounds very chirpy and comfortable during this interview, delightful to hear

[@SmokeandSteam]

A very relaxed moz. And the result is a really good and interesting interview. Enjoy!

[@johncastle8254]

Reminds me a lot of John lennons way of thinking ,writing songs about who and what he is and thinks ,in fact John Lennon said a lot of similar things ,two absolute genius in my book .

[@mathildaregner9154]

Finally, a good interviewer too! It seems like Moz always ends up with the most ignorant interviewers in other cases!

[@315Bodhi17]

Interesting & informative...thanks Moz!!

[@ShineMoable]

The "M" word...haha Love this interview!!

[@lottieisthequarry]

thankyou so much for sharing this, I missed it in 2004. look forward to more rare gems.. (i could listen to him talk all day.. mmmm Morrissey)

[@freya8133]

His speaking voice is as sexy as his singing voice.

[@sharonedwards6010]

Funtastic interview Morrissey.

[@bobbyrainsbury6524]

Love you Moz my idol glad your in good spirits here adore quarry and southpaw one of my favs to so underrated

[@phillynott2459]

Honest and intelligent

[@JBinOtown]

Thanks so much for posting.

[@scottdaley1792]

This seems like the real Morrissey. It's nice to hear.

[@gerard7622]

really appreciate this. thanks.

[@DarlinJacq]

He sounds so 👍 nice 😊😁😊😁😊😁🙂😏😊😁

[@Longpigmss]

liked this one a lot!

[@sarahzentexas]

Thank you for uploading xxx

[@DoctorMeatDic]

He wouldn't be that depressing to Karl. Karl has read up on the "loneliest man in the world....ever"

[@jimnewcombe7584]

Is he lonely though? He constantly says he loves his own company and doesn't understand why people want to be in the company of other people.

[@Twostacks9]

Lovely editing mate, and great interview.!

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

Nice interview.

[@gtafilms1197]

XFM in 2004? Damn, he could have been interviewed by Karl Pilkington, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. What could have been!

[@Yimello]

Karl and Moz could have shared stories of manchester

[@jimnewcombe7584]

I thought he said "NEIL Young at 3.00" - I was about to launch myself at the screen. It would have been Jimmy Through the Looking Glass.

[@arricammarques1955]

'You Are The Curry' another comical morrisey play on words.

[@binboyuk]

@JohnPurchaseArt haha! that would be awesome!!!

[@LouVivaMorrissey]

his interview with dermot oleary a few weeks ago was a lot different to this. He was portrayed to be quite rude in the Dermot Oleary one...as he usually is portrayed

[@katewolfspirit6722]

Dermot O'Dreary is not a good interviewer in my humble opinion.

[@nbmufc94]

Can you explain why please? Im intrigued by him abit, he seems to have a huge effect on people.

[@DarlinJacq]

No Nick, 10 years later here on 07/08/2022, I AM not Abel to explain your intregie because He has had that same effect on Me -so much so, that I AM going to Marry Him tomorrow 👏😘🤞👏🪄🐆🧶🕸️🤟👍✌️🤞

[@arricammarques1955]

One requires a 'big ego' to handle all the crap around pop music. I don't blame him to be an enlightened original singer, songwriter. McCartney's over rated

[@didoma73]

What's the lip synccer he mentions around 21:20?

[@marianhalcombe3305]

Lipsynca. A drag queen.

who gives a shit about chart positions

[@jimnewcombe7584]

12:25... "Fewer reasons," not "less".

[@freya8133]

I'm the opposite of Morrissey. I find the food in England repulsive and the food in America better. But then I'm not a complete vegetarian.

[@overcastx3]

Morrissey I love you but let's be honest. The one with the "biggest ego of the planet" is you. Many pop and rock stars actually seem quite humble

[@freya8133]

Plenty are worse. Madonna, Diana Ross, Gene Simmons, Axl Rose....

[@freya8133]

And Frank Sinatra, God rest his big headed soul....

[@freya8133]

And let's be honest, if you were that talented, admired, loved, witty, and handsome you'd have a big ego too.

[@gaz2276]

I saw Moz in Farm Foods yesterday. He looked fat and depressed.

[@Daffy310]

He looks way better than you lmao

[@jizzsouth7997]

I take it you weren't being serious.

[@freya8133]

He was chunky you mean. Middle aged people put on weight because of diminished metabolism. I'm sure at his heaviest his BMI was still between 20-25. That's not fat. That's a tad bit overweight.
