I dont particularly like morrissey, i just find him an annoying and miserable old bastard. Some people seem to think of him as a genius and well, thats fair enough, each to their own. I do like his comment though, dont we all wish we could pack in the crappy day job and do something we enjoy?

I missed the very start of that programme, but that statement makes me love Morrissey even more!!!
I have to laugh at everyone saying that Morrissey doesn't understand what it's like to live in poverty etc etc, when he grew up in a working class background and was unemployed for years. I believe he is making the point here that why should people bother working themselves to the bone to make a pittance and struggle anyway, when they could just do something they like, something creative for example, and make the same? When people want to be artists, musicians, actors, writers, dancers etc they are always told that there is hardly any money in it and they should look for better jobs, but now the 'better jobs' aren't paying as much either, so why not do what you love? It's not very realistic, but it is a fair point, and I doubt there is any danger of anyone who doesn't actually listen to Morrissey's music paying any heed to what he says anyway.

I saw Morrissey's limo arrive at the London Palladium last week, it parked across a pedestrian crossing and he marched in while his security team pushed back the handful of people waiting to meet him.
Man of the people, don't make me laugh!

Morrissey wouldn't joke about something as serious as unemployment especially in the current economic climate

I do agree with what he said2000 in the sense that if all people could do make a living from doing something creative then that'd be great, but he knows that that's not very likely to happen, and he was only saying it in a jokey way. I think he just wanted to make the presenters feel slightly uncomfortable by saying something they didn't expect. I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Stop making out the presenters were in the wrong for asking him, he was on THEIR show to plug his latest single!
Morrissey just came across as an uncaring twat. It doesn't matter if you are in music. You should still have empathy for the travails of the working man. He just displayed how out of touch he is with the public.

i'd hardly brand that as disgraceful.
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear.

No he's kind of socialist thinks peope should be free to enjoy the nicer things in life like Art rather than being wage slaves that's all and he's right smart people do make money from their own Art but obviously somebody has to do the boring jobs otherwise the world would stop.Maybe someday in an ideal eutopia certainly not in this world where most of the money is owned by the few and I'm not talking about celebrity wealth that's only peanuts.
The Smiths Still Ill
Ask me why, and i'll die
Oh, ask me why, and i'll die
And if you must, go to work - tomorrow
Well, if i were you i really wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And i should know, because i've seen them
But not often
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although i ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am i still ill ?
Oh
Oh, am i still ill ?
