Morrissey merciless in NME tirade
Tuesday, 4 December 2007
Finally, Morrissey has opened his gob about the NME interview on the Guardian blog (where else?) It’s delightfully long-winded but immensely pleasurable to read.
Predictably, he denies wholeheartedly the trumped-up charge of racism and launches into a spectacularly single-minded tirade against the “new NME” and, most mercilessly, its writer, Tim Jonze.
I do not mean to be rude to Tim Jonze, but when I first caught sight of him I assumed that someone had brought their child along to the interview. The runny nose told the whole story.
Hmm, strangely enough, I fear that might be considered slightly rude, Mozza.
Tim’s line of questioning advanced with: “What about politics, then … the state of the world?” which, I was forced to assume, was a well-thought-out question.
Oh dear. They say you should never meet your heroes and Jonze is clearly a big Smiths/Morrissey fan. I’m tempted to feel sorry for him but then again, well, that is a pretty stupid question.
