Morrissey ist ja normalerweise kein Freund vieler Worte. Interviews gibt er verhältnismäßig selten, und seine deutschen Fans beglückte er zu \\"You Are The Quarry\\"-Zeiten auch nicht gerade mit vielen Gigs (es waren null). Jetzt äußerte er sich aber zum ersten Mal öffentlich zu \\"Ringleader Of The Tormentors\\", das voraussichtlich am 20. März 2006 erscheinen wird. Auf True-to-you.net beantwortete Morrissey nämlich Fan-Fragen. Und das ist an Album relevanten O-Tönen dabei abgefallen:

\\"Firstly, the musicianship is outstanding. Secondly, the songs are very strong, which is a great thing to be able to say this far down the line.

We were all very unified - everyone gets on very well, we are all very close friends, and everyone works for the common good, and there is never anyone pulling away - as there has been in the past […]. It is not a continuation of 'You Are The Quarry', and it has no links to the past. Tony [Visconti] has been a very uplifting influence - has done a great job as producer and I'm honoured to have worked with him.\\"

Klingt schon mal spannend. Wer auch einen Sinn für Morrissey-Fußnoten hat, sollte übrigens selbst mal hierhin surfen. Dann liest man nämlich zum Beispiel auch das folgende interessante Hardliner-Statement zum Thema Vegetarismus:

\\"Being vegetarian is a political gesture, so it can't fail to affect your life. By becoming vegetarian you are rejecting a dominant, macho, wife-beating, throat-slitting lifestyle. Vegetarians are also often disliked because they cause so many people to do what they'd rather not do: think. Also, vegetarians, by the nature of their existence, are telling flesh-eaters that what they, the carnivores, are doing, is wrong - and nobody likes to be told this. In a basic sense, I can't bring myself to sit at any table where flesh is served or eaten - unless, of course, it's human flesh.\\"
