Posted April 19, 200718 yr SALFORD LAD BBC Radio 2 Saturdays from the 21 April 20:04-21:00 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/documentaries/media/morrissey210.jpg It is almost twenty years since Morrissey, Britain’s most thoughtful and enduring lyricist and singer, launched his solo career. Ever since his emergence as front man with the Smiths in the 1980s his songs have been poured over, analysed and quoted. In this two part series for BBC Radio 2 Stuart Maconie tells the story of the Manchester lad who became a British icon. We hear from friends, fans, colleagues and fellow musicians including: Richard Boon, Mike Hinc, Jo Slee, Andrew Paresi, Willy Russell, Badly Drawn Boy, Zoe Williams, John Hegley, Preston, Stephen Street, Tony Visconti, Andy Rourke and Suggs. Will any of you be listening to it?
April 26, 200718 yr Author The first part centred on The Smiths. Still it was interesting to here the lack of interviews from Morrissey's closest friends or inner circle. And it reinforced my opinion that Preston (Ordinary Boys) is a total and utter d!*kh**d. Did anyone else listen to it?
