- Pitchfork: What's your take on how the music business has changed over the last 30 years-- with more focus on touring and less on making albums-- do you think it's generally for better or worse?
- Morrissey: Obviously, it's much worse because the entire "industry"-- as it must be called-- has been destroyed in a thousand ways. The Internet has obviously wiped music off the human map-- killed the record shop, and killed the patience of labels who consider debut sales of 300,000 to not be good enough. People no longer know the top 75 charts, and what they do know of them they don't trust because chart-placings are so fixed-- everyone on the planet mysteriously flies in at number one now. The music press has died because of Internet People Power-- everyone is now their own expert critic. As a consequence there are no risks taken with music anymore-- no social commentary songs, no individualism. This is because everyone is deemed instantly replaceable.
"Life, this strange life, is simply something we have to go through on our way to somewhere else. It’s just something you have to sit through. And we just hope that somewhere along the line something exciting will happen to us. Most people hope for romance, and that really all that keeps most people going."
— Morrissey (via spmorrissey)

Drank too much
And I said too much
And there’s nowhere to go - but Down
“Disappointed” - Morrissey
Played 60 times.- Ashley Heath: How many hours of music do you listen to now on a normal day?
- Morrissey: Probably four or five. I listen obsessively to music - when I wake, lying in the bath and then literally every night. I have this ritual of insanely loud music. For me, it's a very physical thing. I do believe we're an important end of an important era. Unfortunately nothing else ever in your life will affect you like music did in your early teens, and it puts you on a certain course. It's like a love affair. It widens your taste and it broadens your view on everything. It saves you.
"Life’s only promise is its final deadline. When Mel, and others who are dear to us, depart, we should at least realize as we shuffle along living our small and persecuted lives, how absolutely ridiculous it is to be afraid of anything or anyone on this unhappy planet."
— Morrissey responding to the death of a longtime and dedicated fan Melinda Hsu, who passed away on April 12.
