I was just on the Morrissey website and I noticed this.Morrissey is going to be on CNN headline news on Sunday May 9th.Morrissey is going to be on a segment called Soundcheck.The site says the segment comes on at 6 or 7 p.m.eastern time and it repeats every hour after that. --- JoelWhy writes: I was watching CNN Headline News today, and they had a relatively lengthy story on Morrissey and his new album. Ok, so the story, interview and vid clips included, was only about 3 minutes long, but for CNN Headline News, that's rather long. Morrissey compared his L.A. sightings to "bigfoot", the fact that he's "not 22, not skinny...not despising humanity", and his upcoming return to Manchester. They also talked about his "supposed" feud w/ The Cure, and his views on the state of the world: "I love America so much, that I hope to God that George W. can't last very long, because I think he is so, so bad for the country". But, probably the funniest part of the interview was when he was asked if he is happy now. "I do feel much happier now...I wouldn't say delirious" (he chuckles) "but yes, I am happy." Thank goodness for my TIVO!!! --- Juan writes: I'm surprised that no one has posted this yet, but all day yesterday (Saturday, May 8th) CNN's Headline News was running a short, 5 minute or so segment on Morrissey's "comeback" and YATQ. The segment featured a snippet of the beginning to the "Irish Blood, English Heart" video, as well as a quick (I'm sure extremely edited) interview with Moz. The song "Irish Blood..." was featured prominently throughout the piece, and as the outro music as they went to commercial. Standard discussion topics (i.e., "where have you been?", "do feel people will like the record", etc), although they did keep in a bit where he voiced his sincere hope that George W. is not reelected, as he is "tremendously bad for America" both here and abroad. Surprising, given the U.S. media's typically censorious additude towards dissent...perhaps CNN is fishing for a bit of controversy...

Thanks again to Loafing Oaf for the heads up.
Mini-interview was ok. What I found interesting was Morrissey being called by his first, then by his whole name. Never heard it out loud before.

"I Started Something I Couldn't Finish"
Videos were shot on 18 October 1987 (so a few months after the Smiths split) for "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish" and "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before". The same footage of Morrissey biking through Manchester and Salford with a dozen or more look-alike fans was used for both. The fans were found from the Smiths Indeed fanzine. Morrissey's idea was to show Smiths' landmarks around Manchester, with the fans riding behind him as if they were chasing him around. Both videos were directed by Tim Broad.

1. First as if mainstream media ever dared cover him to begin with.
2. His greatest commercial success came in the mid-1990s with awesome songs like "We hate it when our friends become successful", "Tomorrow" and "The more you ignore me."

i'm sure a lot of the journalists who parrot the same questions over and over again to moz probably know better, but they feel like they have to approach the interview and their article in a way that assumes that not everyone reads morrissey-solo on a daily basis.

I, and many others, were angrily saying the same thing - "I think he is so, so bad for the country" - 4 years ago, the day he got *illegally* elected into office; it shocked me, though, when someone later said to me, "he's doing the best that he can..."; and then 9/11 happened - "the best"?! Good Lord, I hate to see his *worst*!!!!

Morrissey on that cable news network... (Score:1)
Nice interview for an interviewer who obviously had only a passing knowledge of Morrissey. It's always nice to see and hear Morrissey on TV, especially on something so mainstream as CNN. I laughed at his comment on The Cure: "I can't understand how they're still around" or something like that. The Bigfoot comment of his was funny... I used to try to MozSpot when I lived in LA, but to no avail.
Anyway... I've been lurking here for over 5 years... decided to say hi and leave a comment. If anyone remembers the transcript of the Morrissey interview with Richard Blade a few years back on KROQ, I'm the guy that typed it up and sent it in. =)
Off topic: my 11 year old daughter loves IBEH, and "The Slum Mums." Too bad TSM didn't make it onto the CD. My 9 year old son has TWO Morrissey posters in his bedroom... the lad has good taste!

2. It's been stated and debated over and over on this site, however, to summarize, Morrissey is not intelligent when it comes to politics. We'll leave it at that.
One last thing, please explain to me, I'm speaking to the Kerry fans out there, why John F. Kerry, while speaking to union reps in Detroit bragged about his SUV, and then at his home in Idaho a month later said he didn't own an SUV? His family does. Just keep it to that...explain why he changed his answer, and then explain how you can defend someone who is such a genuine liar? John Kerry will say anything to get elected...that's who you want running the most powerful nation on the planet?!?
As an add on: Morrissey doesn't bring the smarts when it comes to politics, and neither do his fans...

I can see you're not a regular viewer of CNN's Lou Dobbs. Very interesting show. You should watch it. The Exporting America coverage is particularly informative.

The CNN interview..is that all there is? (Score:1)
I was expecting, from the way I read the news clip on Morrisseymusic.com, that there would be an hour long interview, because that 2-3 minute piece seemed to be so poorly edited and all over the place.
Like the coment on the Cure...he was asked about his "feud", and his reply was about how it surprised him that they (Cure) were still around.
Well, that comment has nothing to to with the "feud". That was just a comment on his apparent dislike in their music.
I wish the entire, or at least a decent editing of what seemed like it must have been a lengthy interview would be shown/aired.
Oh well.

morrissey on headline news (Score:0)
Living in NYC, the Headline News channel on our cable service cuts to local news during the last 5 minutes of every half hour. I tried to find it Sunday evening-Monday morning, but was out of luck (news is boring, so I could have slept through it).
BTW - we went to the Apollo on Saturday night - next to last row in the top balcony. fantastic show, except Morrissey disapeared from our view when he interacted with the audience. still, it was a big night out for us, and we actually got to sit and enjoy the man and his music - we're too old (late 40s) to stand all night at gigs.
