i adore his chuckles in this interview

What a fucking brilliant interview...Morrissey is relaxed & very talkative (first time I‘ve heard him belly laugh) & the interviewer is a class act 👌🏻X

[@user-ev1uo7sb8n]

Gary Taylor very true

[@belle-mere7774]

Goodness he's awful giggly in this. Christ I'm so madly in love with him.

[@RicksRemakes]

Ha, That knocking is driving me mad!

This was the 'BP Fallon Orchestra' on RTE Radio 2 (now RTE 2fm)

[@1seansouth]

thanks for clarifying. It's a pity he didn't ask him about his Irish roots.

Morrissey interviewed so much better in the early days. He was so much more open, honest and therefore interesting around The Smiths era. It seems now, in what little press communications he has, he's always hiding something. I suppose I don't blame him in the way he's shunned by Art Hounds. Funnily enough, that's something he comments on in this very interview "the artist has to educate the critic".
