I also admire Muriel Gray in this. Very good questions, very lovely tone of voice. Loving her in this one and a nice joke here and there. They'd probably be good friends, Moz and Muriel.
yes, morrisey music is an art form, and you are a genius. today's bands have nothing to say, and are created by tv shows like x factor. music has lost its way, and will it ever gain direction again, with groups like the smiths, i doub't it.
As a kid, Mozzer was more of a figurehead of a great band to me, a challenge to the norm with some interesting things to say But whenever I see old interviews of him these days, I realise how straight-up intelligent he was.
Everyone there is a common cure for this, eat meat and become a long distance runner. As a runner myself you need meet to build and maintain muscle. And yes humans are more advanced than other animals; this is because our societies are more complex than theirs. It does not however give us the power over right and wrong.

He's a bloody intellectual fascist - he can't accept the right to choose, he feels the need to enforce his views. He's a good singer and lyricist, who gives a shit about whether he likes meat or not?
People have been eating meat for thousands of years. Get over it.
I hate it when people talk about "being higher in the food chain" when it comes to vegitarianism. A food chain is a complex and balanced thing. A subtle change in the food chain can upset the balance completely.
With the food industry, there is no balance. We produce and produce, sometimes resorting to horrific methods, and gorge ourselves, with 40 percent of what we do produce wasted. That is not reminiscent of a food chain at all. There is no balance in that.
I can see why some people might accuse Morrisey of been arrogant but I suppose he has to be when he feels strongly about something he feels deeply about.
@choccyraisans i think those whom accuse those who are comfortably about themselves,and whom are strong in their beliefs as arrogant are just simply insecure.
and if most of the meat eating people are just plain weak not to be vegeterians then most of the vegeterian on here are just plane weak because they have to follow an artists ideas because they some how want to be closer to them.
Morrissy:
"everything day i hear people saying they hear my song and now they are vegeterians"
The Smiths are great but it dont make them right on everything
follow what you believe but dont force it on others like religion
however, he did say it was wishful thinking to try and make every one vegetarian. i think he's just trying to make people consider a different option to eating meat.
if we get all the animals to stop killing animals for food, then the world would be a better place we need to punish all the animals by death and then we could feed on them guilty animals.
or we could just feed on the vegeterian lol
you people sound like GOD has put humans here to rule over every thing but it was just chance/evolution. humans will soon die out and life will go on just get a grip of yourselves.
"Every animal has to kill to live, even if it's just plants"...I love the way that supposedly "liberal" tv interviewers like Gray revert to reactionary views when their own ideas are threatened.
She only takes issue with a person's choice to not eat animals because she's too weak & lazy to give up her bacon sarnies & chicken casserole.
Comparing the meat production industry to the harvest of plant life is like comparing rape to sexual intercourse.
Dogs can be vegetarians but you have to be careful with the food they eat.
Humans are NOT carnivores. If we were, we couldn't become vegetarian. We are omnivores. Meat isn't good for you. You are more likely to get cancer or heart disease from eating meat rather than not.
Yeah it's arrogant as well, if you are one of the select few on earth who even get the pleasure of eating any food at all while others starve, then you eat whatever you get.
It isn't arrogant. If you listen to vegetarians speak about their decision they say "in today's world, many of us have alternatives and it makes no sense to eat meat blah blah blah". So there it is, when vegetarians spread the word they always their speech appeals to an audience that has a choice over what they eat. I think that whenever you have pleasure of eating food you get to choose what you want, when you don't have crap to eat then you eat whatever is in front of you. Ha.
Fool. Why do you think people starve in the first place? It's because the grain that could be used to feed people is fed to animals in order to fatten them for slaughter.
I should be eating meat because others can't? What kind of backward argument is that? Meat is the privelege of rich people, only excused because "it tastes good".
Meat consumption CONTRIBUTES to hunger in the developing world & you're suggesting that to not eat meat is "arrogant"? You are the arrogant one. Educate yourself.
That's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard, if we all became vegetarians then we would not even need to kill ANY, thats what we want to happen, dont be so narrow minded.
Idiot. Choosing not to eat meat is about not supporting an industry that has no respect for life, destroys the environment & is complicit in world hunger.
Don't talk about a subject that you clearly know nothing about.
Weird It's 1985 and he's talking about Jesus and Mary Chain? (I thought they came out in the late 80s). Anyways, It's weird how we were in punk in 76, then post punk in 78-79 then pop rock in the early 80s then post punk in 82-89. The Smiths were one of my favorite post punk bands in the 80s regardless of how mainstream they were. Morrissey is a classy guy and I wish for him to make many records to come.

Enforcing something implies a physical aspect, he just writes about it, he does not impose it, or actually make you stop eating meat.

I love Morrissey but I can not judge people according to their decision - we can look at it in two different perspectives.
1. We are human beings - higher than animals because of our ability to reason and thus we can see that suffering should be prevented.
2. At the same time we can not judge those who eat meat . We are CARNIVORES
and a meat based high protein diet is good for you. Meat is one of natures most balanced foods and is filled with the things that our bodies need
carlosmdiaz1 2 years ago
Nonsense on 2 counts...
"we are higher than animals"...really? Name an animal that commits genocide, starts wars, invents religion, rapes, murders, lies, ad nauseum.
"meat based diet is good for you"....WRONG! The biggest cause of death in the meat eating West is heart disease & obesity is commonplace.
In countries where meat eating is minimal, heart disease is rare.
Everything the body requires can be found in non meat foods. Meat eating is a CHOICE not a necessity nor requirement.
