he's such a charming man

I've always been a fan of the Smith's and Morrissey but I've never watched an interview with him. I find him extremely intelligent, beautiful, and he has such an insight and perspective that most people,even most artists do not have. He has such an appeal that is elusive but almost tangible. Raw, honest...almost like he doesn't relish the limelight. Very fascinating.

There are some really interesting and funny interviews with him that are more "recent" he's very charming and he sometimes asks the people interviewing him questions, if he respects them he shows it by learning about them and showing interest in them.

His Cupid’s bow is so pretty

For a working class lad from deep darkest Manchester he is super articulate, thoughtful and intelligent......I just read his autobiography, which is AMAZING btw, and couldn't help thinking how a person from such a background (he describes his schooling & 'formal' education as dire) could write such a masterpiece of prose. It's fascinating. In this interview he mentions that his mother was a librarian, and that he spent most of his time reading.......I presume that kind of explains it.

Why not indeed. That's what makes it so remarkable. I think the term 'working class' can mean different things depending on the era, background & place you're from. Obviously Moz came from a rich cultural background & whether by nature or design it not only was a foundation / influence but he was able to build on that & create amazing music.

AND - i wish I could give him a hi five that he got famous and was able to “take revenge” with his words about his terrible school. When you’re a kid, a teenager, having horrible teachers can scar you for life! I had a terrible teacher in 6 grade n how I wish I could tell her off now that I’m grown. He did it for all of us who had horrible teachers!!!

I think the interviewer is Nicky Horne. A very, very good interview asking insightful questions, probing just enough and giving Morrissey the space to answer as fully or not as was his wish. As a result Morrissey is relaxed and opens up. Horne had clearly done his research well.

His mother was overspoiling him by giving him everything he wanted. Saying its ok not to work is not a good example to set to your children. Being a child of an overspoiling mother and an impatient strict father who has no time to understand his 'different' son can create a fragile or vulnerable narcissist who can't hold down relationships as an adult as no one can ever fulfill the emptiness they feel which is felt from a very early age. They are human eyores, extremely sensitive victims of life who cannot get close to people because of distrust and insecurity. Socially impoverished but silently feeling entitled to be and have the best in life, constantly needing adoration in order to feel validated. They need their brilliance to be noticed. They take on traits and characteristics of people that they inspire to be like as they struggle to find their own identity. Practically making it impossible for them to describe who they are as a person. Hes a beautiful man and interests me immensely but I feel for his eternal sadness. But still, extremely beautiful and a joy to listen to.

There's nothing wrong with having Aspergers, unless you think there is. The fact of the matter is its a real condition, and Morrissey has a combination of traits that suggest (to me at least) that he may have a mild form of the condition. I don't see anything wrong with that. I think it's just interesting. And it's not just because he's shy or INFP. There's more to it than that.

Labeling is just part of what humans do in order to communicate. "Shy" and "introverted" are labels just like "Aspergian" or "autistic" are. Would you be offended if I called him "shy"? There's nothing wrong with having autistic traits. Do you think there is? We who have them are usually glad to have people acknowledge them in us so that we can better be understood.

Nicky Horne is a class act as an interviewer.

You can see he's uncomfortable when asks about his parents..I think he'd much prefer the idea of immaculate conception for himself.

Bohemian working class and very important figure to those who felt disenfranchised.

Nick Kent's assessment of their future standing was also correct. Young people are now getting The Smiths.

I'm just giving some reasons why I think Morrissey MAY have Aspergers. But I pick up on other subtle things about him that also suggest it. We all have different personalities, so Aspergers affects different people in different ways, but there are some typical traits that are common to the condition.

I once wrote a song lyric which was loosely based on something Morrissey touched on about the fickleness of the "radio play" choices and bias. It was not his words exactly but it lead to an opening line of mine which went: "Yesterday we danced along, to the death-knell of yet another song, that someone duly wronged, as they refused to play it on..... on Radio 1". You do the math. I think Morrissey will inspire many generations to come.
