This interviewer, Tony Wilson (founder of Factory Records, for the musically uneducated among you), once said about Morrissey that he was a "woman in a man's body". Morrissey responded that Tony Wilson was a "pig in a man's body", and when asked to explain his comment, refined it as a "man in a pig's body". They didn't really get on.

You can tell there is a bit of dislike from Wilson here, a lot of the questions have an underlying negativity. "Does he deserve all the attention he gets?" To Joyce and Rourke about Morrissey. "I knew him when he was called Steven" then proceeds to call him Steven throughout the interview even though he himself acknowledged he only goes by Morrissey now. "What gives you the right..." to comment on schools and teaching: as if permission is needed for lyircal content.
@skyworm80062 жыл бұрын
nah it's just standard critical interviewing of the time. a pretence of balance, sometimes actual balance, but at least there was a pretence that gave us the whole picture and acknowledgement of what has happened unlike now where it's all simple and onesided and fake. i would say in this case it's even just going through the motions to set them up for assuaging fears and improving his image. also actors and musicians all comment on social and political stuff now but none express anything that isn't approved and prepared for them. so morrissey's sentiment falls flat, i think even in his time. just another avenue for propaganda and social engineering. i wasn't alive then but that's what i've noticed from watching the media from that time.

I'm glad Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce seem to be appreciated and folks know what a big part they played in The Smiths sound, writing, look, and stage presence. When folks start saying Johnny wrote all the basslines etc, I wonder if they're just repeating what another misinformed person said. (Johnny made the drum beats/patterns too?) Sure, he most probably showed him the basic chord/note patterns, but I as a musician, can tell that writing and obviously playing style is his, naturally. The Smiths is all 4 of them. Craig Gannon had a good look and could play, but seemed kind of awkward and upset the natural balance. He seems like a good guy though. Not knocking him. I guess because the 2 guys from the rhythm section haven't done mountains of work since The Smiths, they get scrutinised and regarded less by some. Thank you for the music anyhow

Morrissey's riposte to Tony Wilson is fantastic- perhaps Tony Wilson is playing the devils advocate, but when he states 'what right does being a pop star give you to..." it sounds like he's being ultra conservative. The whole freedom of speech and public authorities being held accountable obviously weren't as prominent back then as they rightfully are today.
