As I dozed through the Archers omnibus (ah blissful Sunday mornings), and awoke properly to the strains of Barwick Green, I did hear the announcer say "and Kirsty Young's guest on Desert Island Discs this morning is Morrissey".
I wasn't sure for a moment, but not my ears were not deceiving me. It was true. And it meant for the first time probably since George Michael was on, I could listen with a genuine interest in what he had to say and, more importantly, what records he chose. I'm not a fan, particularly, but I find him a very interesting man.
It still seems kind of odd that he was on, but he was really very funny and most of the time, Kirsty Young seemed unsure of whether he was being serious or not.
If you haven't heard it, you can get it on iPlayer. It's worth it.
