As much as everyone loves Morrissey I think most understand how hard headed that mf’er is, I would listen to every song but would never befriend that man.

@@smeefie7343 johnny in no way hated morrissey. they were best buds and johnny has even said that there was a connection with them from the moment they met. he has also said they were as close as friends could be without being lovers. people change and friendships die out but johnny did not hate him
Some weird puppets introducing an indie band their older siblings liked? Nah, there were 3 channels and you had the odd cartoon, he-man twice a week and the a-team on saturdays.
Seeing Morrissey softly explain why he holds flowers, telling children they have a right to be respected, and singing This Charming Man makes me profoundly sad. If this happened today (particularly in America), there would be such an uproar from un-charming people.
@@sczuylevch13 what do you mean by that? i don’t doubt the truth of your words even if you were joking. i just didn’t know he took part in those activities
The face Morrissey makes when Marr mentions Rourke and Joyce is simply clear, I have the feeling that in his mind Smiths was always about him and Marr and no one else, the others were studio musicians or so.
I’m 20 years old and tired of getting into the Smiths because of a band called the cranberries who the band members of that band liked the Smiths and they would always talk about them in interviews so at the age of 17 years old I started listening to the Smiths one day and now to this day I’ve listen to the Smiths for For years and have been a fan since
Hell yeah. I was a Cranberries fan in my teenage years, and now a Smiths fan in my adulthood. Glad to hear we have similar music tastes! I also didn't warm up to the Smiths too easily; one or two songs at a time... but I feel like that made it all the better, because I could take my time and get to know each one and keep it special. Have you ever listened to the Sundays?
@@candycane3739 I was just about to tell her to listen to the Sunday's album: 'Reading, Writing and Arithmetic'. I have loved that album for over 30 years. Ironically I didn't like it the first time I heard it 🤔. Love the Cranberries.
They spelt Morrissey wrong, and what's with the Paul?!!!!! I loved the bit where he praised flowers and said it's better waving flowers around than socks. That is very Morrissey and very Northern. Shit those heads were creepy though.

i love how morrissey says that he writes alot about school when really theres just 1 smiths song about school. i think he said this in order to inspire kids, bc its the only thing that they relate with
@I'm CIA I am sure I get far more than you do (I am lead singe, songwriter and guitarist in an Acid metal band and have some beautiful Swedish girl friends). Besides it is irrelevant either way. Still you call yourself 'CIA' so your non argument fits. How is old Mike Pompeo doing these days. He and Bolton like Hillary and Dick Cheney love to lie us into wars (killing 100,000s of innocent non whites of course!!) And here you are with a feeble attempt at deflecting my point about a vile POS racist!
@@dylab5051 No you can never be too harsh with those that push for the mass murder (genocide) of millions based on nothing but where they were born or what skin color they have. Only their utter eradication will do. We were far too kind to both the Nazis and Japanese war criminals. We allowed them to survive and now they are spreading evil again: *'Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch (that is the Nazis we and the Communists used after WW II) who bore him is in heat again!'; Bertold Brecht*
Haha! It would be really funny if it was but I checked the dates. "In Between Days" was released in 1985, and according to this TH-cam video the interview was in 1984. Also, you have a cool username.

No, it's not just you!

A fever dream... what a proustian perception, lady!
You nailed it.
I'm trying to make it into my Fever Dream. Thanks. Not really. I would go out tonight, but I have to read this comment... again!
Yes
Kids: what is this charming man about?
Morissey: it's a story about how you should always get into a strangers car if they ask you to
Ha ha. Magnificent.
Johnny and Morrissey were so friendly with each other in this interview, I just enjoyed every minute of this (except for those creepy masks).
Too bad it wasn’t like that off screen...
@@LenOnTheDoor0000 maybe it was, we dont know (except the last fight)
Those creepy masks were the best!👀

Love how Johnny just sits back and smiles at everything Morrissey says, you can practically see the heart-eyes beneath the sunglasses.
Are you kidding, Johnny hated the dude

No . I don't think so at all.
Sidney Suburbia both
We're all on drugs.

Morrissey agreed to the interview with children thing...as long as the children were in another room entirely.
😂😂😂
The way Morrissey talks is so gentle and elegant.
His voice keeps me warm tonight.
Seeing Morrissey softly explain why he holds flowers, telling children they have a right to be respected, and singing This Charming Man makes me profoundly sad. If this happened today (particularly in America), there would be such an uproar from un-charming people.
There is just something about him that's quite irresistible, isn't there?
No
Adam Vance yes
yes.
Absolutely
100 percent
Johnny Marr has such a calm and relaxed aura. I'd love to have a conversation with him at one point. That would be nice.
I love Morissey. I relate so much to his music and the things he says.
uh oh
I watch this whenever I'm sad and want to smile, and sometimes when I'm not sad and want to smile!
nothing seems to make me smile these days
@@subtractahandletocontinue Ironic. That sounds like a name of a smiths song lol
his voice is so soothing
1:36-1:42 I can listen to this ALL DAY. So clear his voice.
😍😍😍
Try the version of it on hatful of hollow
johnny’s smile when he starts singing also
"This Charming man" ISN'T about being charming lmao

it's about being gay

@aieden I thought he did say somewhere that this song was about him being attracted to men?

yesterday and today they have been playing at the same venue for the first time in 35 ish years
Wise words of wisdom applicable to any era delivered with the perfect hint of smirk 👍
morrissey and marr played off eachother so well wish they were still close
morrissey wishes they were still close, not as friends though...
My favourite smiths interview hands down, I've watched this like 5 times 😂
Sameeeee
Oh shit, i just forgot how much i like their music for some weeks. Need to start to listen to them more again.
This johnny maarrrr🎶
Just be charming and what a beautiful world it would be
marionettes !
I absolutely adore this video
what a voice!
"Who knows, it might rub of on the next generation". A prophet you might say...
Johnny trying not to laugh near the end is so cute
My favorite interview of them😂 I love everything about it
kinda wrong how it starts with reel around the fountain lool
This is a gem!!!
The most heavenly voice ever…..
Thanks for uploading this interview!
Morrissey seemed so sweeter back then, i guess the cynicism comes with age. I still adore him though.
Him and marr look like they can actually stand each other
You’re usually born with cynical tendencies, but they certainly grow with time and perpetual reinforcement.
@@mozzerianmisanthrope406 no one is born with any tendency, behaviour is learnt
Mix of cynicism and complete insanity which has progressively gotten worse since the smiths broke up
1:47 LOL they were made hostages to sing ? hahaha ahahahahahah
Morrissey is gorgeous here
hes gorgeous everywhere lol
Omg this is so sweet it kills me.
frr
Thank you so much for this interesting interview
I love this band
I’m surprised he talked to kids considering he has stated he doesn’t talk to anyone who eats meat.
He ate all those children so that made it okay! I'm like Paul, the only flesh you should eat is human!
He won’t have got any pudding then

Fun Guy lol terrifying
Is it really so strange?
It actually felt like a jumpscare Not charming at all 😔
everything after that creeped me the fuck out

Mozy as Phineas
Marr as Ferb
Paul Morrissey
these people really did their research
this whole thing felt so surreal
There is unbelievably unimaginably surreal.… And then there’s this.
i miss this morrissey
I’ve had multiple strong coffees today, so may revisit this video tomorrow…. Just to make sure it’s real.
Morrissey’s super power was once his hair; it is now his public’s memory of his hair…
read that as pubic
did they just decide his name was PAUL MORRESSEY? lmao
0:19 Who the fuck is Paul Morressey? I googled and it came up as a film director.
So cute!
I love how they introduced him as Paul Morrissey, but his name is Steven Morrissey... ??
I want to eat this video
Paul Morrissey? I’m guessing Steven was being cheeky and made up a name to give them.
