Bid (Monochrome Set) - Morrissey/Marr mentions in Louder Than War Interview
The Monochrome Set: Interview - Louder Than War
Excerpt:
...“There have been so many lies in the press about Morrissey, it’s hard to know what’s true and what’s not.”
It’s well known that both Morrissey and Marr* were greatly influenced by The Monochrome Set, and the conversation has strayed early onto the subject of whether it’s possible to continue to like his music when the man’s utterances and politics had become so unpalatable to so many.
“But yes, I think it is” Bid explains, “Maybe he’s not aware that he’s not the one who wrote those beautiful melodies and haunting lyrics. There’s something inside that takes over. Creativity comes from that primal part of the brain and it cannot be affected by immediate emotions, it’s detached. I think if you’re a writer, deep in the core you know this, it’s like a vocation, its not you.”
...“So yes, maybe he’s not aware he’s not the one who wrote those...

The Irish Times: Ezra Furman interview - Morrissey mentions (31 Aug., 2019)
Ezra Furman: ‘It’s in my blood to have a fear about encouraging fascism’ - The Irish Times.
By Ed Power
The cult indie singer on his angry new album, falling out of love with Morrissey, Trump’s treatment of refugees and why being gender non-conforming brings everyday peril
Main mention:
"The last time Furman spoke to the Irish Times, in 2015, he described Morrissey as his “hero”. Four years later all our perspectives of the Smiths icon are very different. Old Suedehead recently wore a right-wing “For Britain” pin on the Tonight Show. And he accused Mayor of London Sadiq Khan of being unable to “talk properly”. His halo hasn’t slipped. It’s turned to ashes.
“I’m not really listening to Morrissey or the Smiths lately,” says Furman. “When I do, it’s kind of ruined...
