For the amount of money he charges for a ticket I would expect a free hamburger and a leather bound copy of Mein Kampf thrown in.

The self-pity is already for free. What more do you people want?

I think a lot of old Smiths fans would appreciate Morrissey embracing some self-loathing and self-reflection.

Sorry, Morrissey, in this production you will be portrayed by Rick Astley. Yes, the laughter you hear is genuine and directed at you.

Backstage at TOTP when Morrissey played The Last of the Famous International Playboys (and it became the sleeve for the reissue of the same song)

He seems strangely thrilled

Cool interview. Thanks for the share. Marr remains a really cool individual. It also reminded me that I need to listen to The The more. The two LP's they did while Marr was in the band are great:
