Morrissey on music, his 'very athletic' youth - ESPN Sounds blog

Steven Patrick Morrissey has always been a little of an international man of mystery. And whether it is the meaning of his lyrics or hints about his favorite sport, fans seem all the more curious to dig deeper into his music.

Why in Christ's name is he being interviewed by ESPN?

Not a bad read . ESPN really works to bring in Moz songs that relate back to sports. Like the last line in the article, a Moz quote on trying to following English football --, "It’s a bit like trying to exercise without actually getting out of bed. Not easy.” Harkens (for me) back to the next to last line in song 'He Knows I'd Love To See Him' which goes "You want to turn it on its head by staying in bed" Goodness how "Bona Drag" was/is such a great album !

Why not? They also did happen to make a brief reference to him in one of their most recent commercials.

There just doesn't seem to be any context for why this article is there.

Didn't mention We'll Let You Know or Pubic Hair Disaster 1958.

Still cool to see even if it seems out of place.

As far as getting exercise without getting out of bed.. he should consider more sex.
