@@applescruff1969 "I hate it when people say English isn't a beautiful language" I think it is. Not a native myself, but I love the sound and the structure.
words cannot express how much i love this man. i found his lyrics when i was at my absolute lowest, as a depressed teenager also spending a preoccupying amount of time secluded in her bedroom. said bedroom got filled with the sound coming from smiths records, and together with feeling miserable i finally felt truly understood for the first time in my life. i don’t know whether i’d be here without morrissey.
me too, i'm 15 and i've always felt like there was something that i was just missing, that everyone else understood but me, and that it was my fault for not getting it. but i see a lot of myself in the smiths & morrissey and it's really helped me to feel less alone. like i'm not the only one who feels this way. i'm so happy they exist
Touching to see and hear the young Morrissey. "Reel Around The Fountain" was the first song I heard from the Smiths. I bought all their records. The Smiths were one of the great alternative bands of the '80s!
I did personal 'catch up' course with The Smiths in the 90's. It's as though I listened to them in the 80's. As far as 'jingly-jangly' music went then, I was listening to The Wedding Present and The Mighty Lemon Drops. But the thing is, I was/am far more into Electronic and Industrial Music. So, whilst I looked like Morrissey then, I was listening to Depeche Mode, New Order.....@@EdwinJack64
He got older and wiser and perhaps more even cynical about the world and definitely more weary about the “music industry”. But he has not really changed - life will wear you down eventually. The Smiths meant a lot to me when I was young and I still love them now that I’m in my 50’s. Morrissey has always spoken his mind. He attacked the British Royal family and the meat industry. The establishment fought back and won. Morrissey won’t be accepted again until he’s gone - then the media will proclaim that he was always a genius. Morrissey knows this. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I respect his right to say it. Portrait of an artist as a young man. I enjoyed this, thank you.
Oh nice one. The greatest music group ever. I remember spending fifteen quid in 1991 on a vhs tape The Smiths the complete tv appearances, this was on it. The picture quality was shite compared to this!!! Thanks for the upload man. 😀
There are some great interviews of his beside this. I like his radio interview about Billy fury, his One Show interview and the extended piece with Sandy Shaw a lot
its funny because its always the disillusioned, mislead people who claim hes a racist or a far right sympathizer. everything morrissey sings and talks about is true, and has come true. england for the english.

I know what you mean, The Smiths formed when I started High School and were done when I graduated. In only 5 years, they became timeless and always will be…
I was a pupil at St Mary's RC secondary modern in Stretford, I was there when the report of the schools rather "excessive" corporal punishment record was discovered after an OFSTED report, i was in my first year in 1982 , when a Granada reports camera crew and reporter arrived outside the school gates around 3pm, just as we were going back to class after our final break, being rather exited to see a camera crew as giddy as most 12-13 year old boys could be (waving, shouting, cat calling, etc)....Our punishment, 2 strokes of the strap across the palm of our hands.....Ahhh, happy days!
I too sought out the abhorently distant and obscure outcast while in high school. I loved being friends with the friendless. It made the relationship more valuable.I viewed the " Popular " kids as " Used Up" . Everyone wanted them and had access to the mere presence or desire to befriend , Like a Krack Head Cheap Whore!. Ironically, I was a "Popular " kid .
I remember watching this when it went out originally just before going down the pub, and in the pub me and my mates talked about it and my one mate said his Dad was watching it with him and when he got to the bit about being a sex symbol his Dad got up and said 'Right thats it I can't hear anymore of this' and got up and walked away. Happy days.
@applescruff1969 the school was OK, nice building. Sadly most of the teachers weren't really interested, or bothered. There was no appetite to help those with dyslexia or learning difficulties, and too many bully kids. I lost a whole lot learning because of this.
Definitely an INTJ He's personality and way of thinking, I completely understand. I'm not a vegan, but I completely understand why he is, and I totally understand that. I adore him, his fragility is what makes him a bad ass.
We went from pop music icons that were inspired by Oscar Wilde to ones that are inspired by people from the ghetto who deal in murder and drugs. Never forget what they took from us.
A heartless hand on my shoulder A push and it's over Alabaster crushes down Six months is a long time I tried living in the real world Instead of a shell But before I began I WAS BORED BEFORE I EVEN BEGAN Shoplifters of the world Unite and take over
I was a pupil at the same school as Morrissey, I'm still here to tell the tale....I certainly wasn't executed by the headmaster or teachers!...However i received a dose of corporal punishment!!
I think it's meant in a way of soppy or something. Like sentimental. idk that's how I interpreted it but English isn't my first language so I could be wrong
factoid: morissey’s hairdo went on to start a charitable foundation benefiting indigent children, providing over $2.7M in assistance to children with dreadfully awful and tragically unoriginal style

"Brief spasms of employment"
He reminds me why I love language.
I hate it when people say English isn't a beautiful language. Morrissey proves it is!

I think it is. Not a native myself, but I love the sound and the structure.
@@Nothing-db1zy The non-native speakers I've encountered all say it isn't. It's nice to see a non-native speaker who agrees!
There's no-one else in popular music like Morrissey, he's a one-off and is a great songwriter and performer.
Yeah he’s a c youuuuuuu next toobaday
@@s3lfl3ssn3ss What happened to him?
and racist
@@orp5us Nah, just proud of his country, doesn't want violent immigrants coming in and attacking everyday people.

Same...found the Smiths almost 2 years ago and I've never felt so understood 💐

@@diorsse good luck on your journey, it gets better from here 🌸

I literally never even HEARD The Smiths in the 80's! I knew about them; of course, and read interviews with Morrissey, but I NEVER heard them at all!
@@Scotty-P
That is indeed remarkable! But I understand you made up for the 'damage' later 😅!

The establishment sucks.
Hard to believe he’d only just turned 25
that’s like mid age for a popular musician
He has a great vocabulary! Love Smiths music now more than ever!

My favourite interview as of now
There are some great interviews of his beside this. I like his radio interview about Billy fury, his One Show interview and the extended piece with Sandy Shaw a lot
YO WHY IS HE SO RELATABLE?
More SMITHS and MORRISSEY please.
👍
love him, no matter what everybody (or he himself) says. Where would we be without his music and poetry ?
Exactly where we are now. That is where we would be but presumably commenting on some other video or other.
its funny because its always the disillusioned, mislead people who claim hes a racist or a far right sympathizer. everything morrissey sings and talks about is true, and has come true. england for the english.

Damn, as an outcast, I wish I had someone like that in my high school hah
no u weren't and thats ok
The interviewer was really focusing on sex in the interview.
He was constantly asked about sex and his sexuality at this time. Very strange really.
Morrissey was being so flirty tho let's be real lmao
@@surfboardjoker6299lol is it the tongue?
And if he seems a little strange, that's because he is❤
I did become enormously depressed to the point where I believed that any kind of relationship was almost impossible🤯
:(
I LOVE THIS MAN ❤❤❤❤
I remember watching this when it went out originally just before going down the pub, and in the pub me and my mates talked about it and my one mate said his Dad was watching it with him and when he got to the bit about being a sex symbol his Dad got up and said 'Right thats it I can't hear anymore of this' and got up and walked away. Happy days.
Lol why?
its on sight morrissey
Imagine they make a documentary movie of The Smiths with Jim Carrey as Morrissey
Drinking game: take a shot everytime he says "obscure"
Or delicate
Morrissey was talking about my old school, St Mary's in Stretford, Manchester. now demolished
Probably a good thing it was demolished. Sounds like many awful things happened there.
@applescruff1969 the school was OK, nice building. Sadly most of the teachers weren't really interested, or bothered. There was no appetite to help those with dyslexia or learning difficulties, and too many bully kids. I lost a whole lot learning because of this.
Definitely an INTJ
He's personality and way of thinking, I completely understand.
I'm not a vegan, but I completely understand why he is, and I totally understand that.
I adore him, his fragility is what makes him a bad ass.
Light years ahead of the rest.
Thanks for watching and commenting
A pleasure.
He truly was back then, as much as I’ll always love his music much of the stuff he says in the public eye seems like he’s going backwards
I swear him and Marco Pierre white have extremely similar cadences. Must be a British genius thing.
Love my Moz!!!! 🖤🖤💙💙💙
This is the first time I heard him speak openly about being celibate.
...and now we are in a time where young men not leaving their rooms for a decade is common place
hes so funny and posh sounding
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
My two favorite books are The Bible (kjB), and the dictionary
Read them for the story?
@@ecyt2447 for the enlightenment
My god that hair
he made it attractive ngl
*crawls inside of it* I'll just live here
Nice video
2:52 Couldn't agree more.
Did he say Capital punishment? Lol dramatic as always MOZ
corporal punishment?
He misspoke. He meant corporal punishment.
He definitely meant corporal punishment.
We went from pop music icons that were inspired by Oscar Wilde to ones that are inspired by people from the ghetto who deal in murder and drugs. Never forget what they took from us.
He’s suuuuuper camp here
Very little eye contact.
A heartless hand on my shoulder
A push and it's over
Alabaster crushes down
Six months is a long time
I tried living in the real world
Instead of a shell
But before I began
I WAS BORED BEFORE I EVEN BEGAN
Shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
This guy speaks in riddles
What? I understand him perfectly.
0:18 Really? They were executing people at the school? Or did he mean corporal punishment?
🙃 good one
I was a pupil at the same school as Morrissey, I'm still here to tell the tale....I certainly wasn't executed by the headmaster or teachers!...However i received a dose of corporal punishment!!
4:20 that’s so sad. was moz taken advantage of?
Is the full, unedited version of this interview available? It's very interesting.
This is all that was broadcast, the rest was probably erased by the tv station
You can find a longer version in three separate parts on You Tube, not sure if it's call hear, ear or ere say
When the interviewer says some say his image is “rather wet” what does he mean? I’ve never heard the word wet used in this way. I don’t understand…
I think it's meant in a way of soppy or something. Like sentimental. idk that's how I interpreted it but English isn't my first language so I could be wrong
Would I be wrong to think that Morrissey is a new age hippy?
20p potao bread
Rotton school. Factory fodder.
Yes I remember that.
Seems like he is on the spectrum.
Morrissey, por que vc não pegou meu número de telefone?
Capital punishment 😁

Celibacy patas and jips
1:06 i learnt a new word today thanks to young MOZ:
ob·strep·er·ous
/əbˈstrep(ə)rəs/
adjective
adjective: obstreperous
noisy and difficult to control.
"the boy is cocky and obstreperous"
yes i learned the word from him as well- in another interview.
