Yea-Sayers:

"Morrissey is a most interesting drug, curiously tasty." - Carl Smyth (Madness) naming "Interesting Drug" his favorite Morrissey song, Q, September 1992

I still ache with a longing to know just what Morrissey's minions see in the man, what special stardust quality does he possess to endear him so closely to their palpitating hearts. It's a finely crafted pop single, of that there can be no doubt - but that's all there is to it. - Edwin Pouncey, New Musical Express, 4/22/89

Moz-Speak:

"A song like Interesting Drug spoke about drug culture, and I think the pop establishment can deal with pop drug culture in its present form because it doesn't convey anything. It's very vague and wispy and (lolls tongue out and rolls eyes) uuuuungh, unngh. But if you say, Interesting drug/the one that you took/God, it really helped you. That line was just far too direct." - Morrissey, Q, September 1992
