Morrissey, in an interview given to Len Brown (date unknown): "If I praise something, a film or a record from the Sixties, I'm quite genuine about it, and it's not like I'm digging up some Viking Helmet and becoming very dreamlike about that. I think it was a very productive and interesting period. And art, in every respect, has diminished since the turn of the Seventies. The Seventies were horrible."
