The documentary on Morrissey is out next month for broadcast in the UK. Also tomorrow there is a large article on Morrissey in Word, another UK publication. Update: 05/09 16:35 GMT: Erik sends a scan of the cover, now on the Word magazine site. Morrissey invites Word's Andrew Harrison into his Hollywood home to talk about his return to recording, life in LA, the ongoing court case and his new project, Under The Influence.

As for the grey hair, I think it suits him quite well... He is aging perfectly... The grey does the clipper fade without the clippers.

Although, his fashion sense is slipping a tad. He looks like he rolled Larry Dallas from Three's Company.

It's interesting to note on the Word website that the reference to Morrissey 'returning to recording' was made seperately from the 'Under the Influence' project.

The scars and twisted tendons, the stumps of off-struck limbs/this aching pit of hunger and throb of unset bone/my sanded burning eyeballs as light within them dims/add nothing to this torment of lying here alone
The shimmering flames of fever trace out your blessed face/these broken eardrums echo yet your voice inside my head/i do not fear this Darkness which crawls toward me apace/i only dread the loss of You that comes when i am dead...

that go down below the pit
i am Become
like a man without longing
free among these dead
They lay me in dampness
within the lowest loneliness
beside the shadow of nomeD
i laugh as my head turns to rust
as the walls collide
and the sky
and the Impossible
explode
Held for one moment i remember a dream
an impression of Loss
and then everything is gone
Forever

I want to see what books he has in his home.
I think Morrissey would look great with a haircut called a high and tight, or high fade.
See my little webpage below, and browse through all the handsome gents. I am the least handsome of the gents, but that is another story all together.
Could Morrissey cover "Nautical Disaster" by the Tragically Hip?
Or, how about "Scared" by the Tragically Hip?
Better yet- "I Don't Love Anyone" by B&S?
With love,

This could see more embittered comments like last year's Observer interview. Surely by now there's no need to keep banging on about it? Why have Word even bothered asking him about it? We all know the depressing details and it really drains me when I hear or read Moz harp on about it yet again.

It said that the next issue of the magazine is released on MAY 15th, that's like thursday... I know magazines' dates of release can be bought forward slightly, so it could be that it was released, in bigger places on friday, but up to now, I haven't been able to see a copy here in Worcester UK. I'm off to the shops in a minute when I get out of college, I'll have a look, but it may be we don't see this until thursday or so.
I looked at the Word magazine website, and it says the new issue is 'out now', so it's anyone's guess. I'd be interested to know whether anyone in the big cities managed to get their mitts on a copy saturday sunday ish..
We'll let you know if I get one in half an hour or so :)

All the things HE said! (well most of them anyway) (Score:1)
Went into Sainsbury's in Wandsworth yesterday, and spotted 'Word' from fifty paces away. I resisted reading this much anticipated interview until I decided to go to bed - and it was well worth the wait. This is a long interview, and in my humble opinion very very interesting - and probably the best interview since the late 80's.
This is an essential purchase for any collector of Moz memorabillia - which even has a picture of the Smiths I haven't seen before where Moz looks truly dashing and handsome.
Here are some of the more interesting remarks he makes:
In response to the remark that TATU - the two teenage girls who covered 'How Soon Is Now'- are Russian lesbians, he says 'Aren't we all!' (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).
Regarding the Ludus song 'Breaking The Rules' which will be on the 'Under The Influence' cd released in two weeks time, he says, "...I find these lyrics remarkable, suggesting that all forms of love are wonderful, whether it's three women together, four men together - why can it not be so?"
Betraying an incredible snobbishness with regards to regional accents which he can't stand (he thanks God everyday he doesn't sound Mancunian - which obviously is not the case to anyone who has ever heard speak on radio) he then goes onto remark that he can't stand people who say "Actually, yes" when they just mean "yes" or newsreaders who say "Bridish" when they mean "British".
THEN tripping himself up like most conceited English language snobs, he walks straight into a grammatical faux pas which appears on the next page. He says in relation to modern British comedy, "...what I find funny IS things like Alan Bennett, Jo Brand, and Victoria Wood". That should be ARE says someone with a big nose!
The picture of The Smiths, is to me probably the best one I have ever seen - Moz looks absolutely devine - which in my mind is a rarity as he has been badly photographed on many occasions over the past twenty years - but this pic is truly ace. Even more interesting is the fact that Mike Joyce leers behind him, looking like a devilish fiend sitting menacingly on his shoulder - very ominous.
Morrissey goes on to say that he is not well off at all and that Joyce is harassing his mother and his sister (who have had court charges put on their homes by Joyce's lawyers) and his nephews. Apparently Joyce is at every stage door when he is on tour trying to get money out of him. Moz claims to have no more than a Mars bar after settling accounts when a tour ends. Not sure I believe that.
He says he is NOT well off, and constantly worries about the Joyce case and other business pressures. Obviously there is more stuff, but I think I gleaned the most interesting bits.
I wanted to believe ALL the things he said, but the process order he issued to David Tseng the other week would make me question every remark he makes in the media - what's his agenda one could ask? I truly want to believe he is an honest decent human being who once asked Jo Slee to rescue a struggling wasp in a swimming pool, but part of me just thinks he's a dab hand at self promotion and media manipulation at this stage.
