so erm.....who won??? ..Moza? maca? attenborougGghha?

we need to know!

[robertzombie]

Attenborough.

[davidsghost]

Morrissey was ok but every single song he sang sounded excatly like the last song he sang, just with different words, so he would use the same excat tone over and over and over, so he got boring.

[robertzombie]

=S

can't agree with that!

[velvetvenom]

Who is this prick interviewing him.

[robertzombie]

(see video description)

[theunsheep]

Oh, yeah, Moz and Bestie share the same birthday, too. :)

[bluesfriar]

Right you are, I hadn't thought of that!

[theunsheep]

George Best was a shy superstar and a beautifully charming man. He was very prominent in Manchester when Moz was a young fella. Of course Morrissey should love him.

[bainseyboy]

i dont disagree with that, he isnt the friendliest man ever, but he certainly is a muscial icon

[luzhizui]

Fair enough. I would still suggest he that this interview gives further evidence that he is one of the most ungracious men on the planet though, but whatever tickles your fancy.

[bainseyboy]

wow, sarcastic wordplay, congratulations, how long did it take you to think of that? im thinking quite a while as you obviously dont have much brain power shown in the fact you cant see how morrisey can be a musical icon. the man is a lyrical genius, and im sure had some influence over the music he sang to seeming as he was in the same band that wrote it...

[luzhizui]

Don't mention it 'brainseyboy'. Actually it only took a minute 2 post the message, which I've why I've taken the trouble to 'waste' another minute of my life repeating the question you thus far haven't answered;

How can Morrissey be a musical icon when he doesn't even write the music?

[bainseyboy]

You're right, he can't possibly be an 'icon', not whilst there's amazingly intelligent people such as you to point out that fact on YouTube. well done for wasting your life and proving this is what you do with your day.

[thesensesphere]

Morrissey can't really be a 'musical' icon because he's never written a note of recorded music, according to the song credits!

[thesensesphere]

I can see your point 'AlexandriaM'. I think the, admittedly snivelly interviewer is alluding to the fact that that many male listener/fans feel some kind of 'homo-erotic' connection with Morrissey, without actually saying it. Interesting. I wonder what this interviewer feels.
