Morrissey “Interesting Drug”

Morrissey “Interesting Drug” 1989, 12″ single. This track appears on Morrissey’s singles comp LP Bona Drag, which was released 30 years ago today, October 15th, 1990. “Interesting Drug” was Morrissey’s fourth single after the breakup of The Smiths in ‘87. It went to #9 in the UK and is somewhat of a personal protest song about the British government, sentiments that ring true through a lot of the world 30 years later: “There are some bad people on the rise/ they’re saving their own skins by ruining people’s lives.” The B-side has the songs “Such a Little Thing Makes Such a Big Difference” and a live track, “Sweet and Tender Hooligan” from a performance at Wolverhampton in 1988.
