News: Morrissey Mentioned in Interview with Stephen Malkmus
|
I was reading INDEX MAGAZINE (Sept/Oct 2005) when I ran across this:PETE: I've heard people compare you to Bob Dylan...
Stephen: Well, he's a Gemini. So am I. There's a strong line of rock Geminis. Prince, Brian Wilson, Morrissey, Ian Svenonius, Neil Haggerty. There are tons of us. I like Dylan's style, and I'm a fan of a lot of what he did. But I wouldn't want his mantle as far as politics is concerned - he came up at a really unique time. But Dylan's fucking weird. He's off on one. He's touring right now with a band and playing in Portland four times this year. What is bob Dylan doing playing Portland four times alongside Waylon Jennis? And playing piano? He's got an acoustic guitar, too, in case he gets inspired to pick it up. The fans are like "maybe he'll play 'Mr. Tambourine Man...'"
