British / International radio station British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS) had a small Morrissey special on this Tuesday night’s „ The Evening Show“. It started by playing Arms Around Paris followed by interview excerpts, and I managed to catch some quotes – not sure where the original interview is sourced from.

„I always did sing as a very small child, and I bought music from the age of six. I bought music at Paul Marsh in Manchester, and I was obsessed with this record shop. I was just absolutely transported somewhere else, and I never left that place to be honest. I knew even then that I wanted to sing.“

„I think when people in pop music sing songs that affect you, you really fall in love with them - I don’t mean physically that you want to jump on top of them, but they‘ll stay with you forever.“

„I always felt that the strongest form of expression was to sing, it’s the strongest mode of expression, and to me it’s a gratification standing in front of people… I feel joy when I make music because I know there are a lot of people like me who love music.“

They also played One Day Goodby Will Be Farewell, announced as „One day will be farewell“ , and It’s Not Your Birthday Anymore as last track.

There is a website with a Listen Again service - click Tuesday 17/03/2009 Part 3, Morrissey starts at 22 minutes in. A serious warning about the crap 20kbit sound quality though
