Re: the autoplay issue from before, please refer to the chorus of "Suedehead."

Listen, I understand: You're no longer interested in Morrissey (if indeed you ever were). You can't understand why people keep going on and on and on about him. You think he's a tired old racist vegan scold. That's fine. You are excused. For those of us who can't seem to shake (or reconcile) the continued fascination with this most contradictory of pop stars, today brings a truly unlikely... treat? Morrissey was interviewed by Larry King for King's show on the on-demand TV channel Ora TV. The interview does not appear to contain bombshells—it's the usual Morrissey tropes about the venality of the music biz, the brutality of authority figures, the depravity of the body—but it does offer the opportunity to watch him speak on camera, unmediated at least by music journalists. And he and his (actually excellent) band do the (actually quite good) new song "Kiss Me a Lot," which can only refer to "Besame Mucho." I am no closer to understanding why I can't tear myself away from Morrissey, but if you're in the same boat, you're gonna need someone on your side. The full interview is posted below.
