Music
08 Aug 14

In the current issue of Hot Press, we have a world exclusive interview with Morrissey who was in the finest of fettles as he talked to us about everything from music, mortality and drugs to sex symbols, illness and the amazing Mrs. Gladys Shufflewick.

For those of you who haven’t been able to get your hands on a copy yet, here’s the great man on…

THE WRITING OF HIS PENGUIN CLASSIC, AUTOBIOGRAPHY
“I wrote the childhood sequence almost as a child might, and the adolescent period as an adolescent might, and the adult section as a… suicidalist might. It’s really just a factual account of how events affected me, so therefore any criticism of it doesn’t make any sense, since I am me, and only I can know what it’s like to be me, and so on.”

We’ll have another interview extract for you on Monday along with a treat from the Morrissey video archives. Copies can be ordered from [link]www.hotpress.com/shop/shop.php?product_id=11956239[/link]
