Audio (with transcription) of Morrissey's infamous Der Spiegel interview

On November 15, 2017, Der Spiegel culture reporter Juliane Liebert interviewed Morrissey in Los Angeles. When the interview was published a few days later it created a firestorm. One online site called it "a bunch of highly controversial crazy stuff". Among other things he called Germany the "rape capital" and was accused of defending Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein. Shortly after Morrissey tried to distance himself from the interview. Morrissey claimed his statements had not been reported accurately. To counter that claim, Der Spiegel made available for download a 43 minute long MP3 file that contains the audio of Juliane Liebert interviewing Morrissey. Here is your chance to judge for yourself. I have transcribed the entire interview and have added the text of the interview to the audio. Not sure if you are hearing what you think you are hearing: confirm the dialog by following along with my full transcription.
