General Smiths Chat

Gee, no wonder Morrissey (and for other celebrities I'm sure) dread being interviewed.
'Do you consider yourself a sex symbol?' How can it not be tough to answer, even if you know you're perceived as one? What kind of answer do they expect when they ask that? Still, it was funny to follow that exchange between them.

Btw, I've seen this general thread on other forums and it does work for miscellaneous thoughts or comments. If there's enough interest, we can maybe pin this.

Haha good point there, he is his own person and does his own thing, which is awesome, he does everything in a unique way (including how he sings/performs) Hes dresses his own way and right up to those little details by the way he swing the wire from his mic.! He really is a cool guy!!!!!

I have been listening to a lot of Smiths' songs this evening - and I was just thinking how much humour is there in them actually.
I often listen to The Smiths when I am kinda sad or feeling repressed in one or another - and in such moment relate to the darker side, or dimension, of their work: I know the irony is also there, the funny side is also present, but didn't how to say it, dwell on it so much. But tonight is all about the fun - and yes, songs like Bigmouth, Some Girls, Cemetry Gates make me think listening to them Smiths can be not only a profound emotional journey - but pure fun as well.
I guess all depends on your frame of mind at the moment: what you see& how you see it, whot you hear & how you hear it.

Amazing how depressing times like this one (economic in this case) has me rushing back to listening to the Smiths and only the Smiths.

In one of the biographies I read about Morrissey it said that the first few gigs that the Smiths played had a cross dressed guy onstage just dancing, but they dropped him for the potential for popularity. Sounds like they wanted to stir things up and then decided that, since they did pop, they had to stick on some level to pop expectations. Imagine if they had kept him though, would have been something!
