OPEN LETTER TO JOHNNY MARR. - MESSAGES FROM MORRISSEY - MORRISSEY CENTRAL - OPEN LETTER TO JOHNNY MARR.

 

Morrissey should stick to wearing Britain First badges and being a washed-up fascist prick

 

Johnny Marr Says There’s “Zero” Chance He’ll Ever Work With Morrissey Again

 

... so no chance?

 

Talked to a friend today (and pretty sure I’ve said this in this thread before) but man “Some Girls…” is the perfect Smiths song if it weren’t for the lyrics. The live version is even better but that chorus is hard to live with.

 

I've head-canoned the lyrics as being about reducing lad/page-3 culture down to its most matter-of-fact, to reveal how banal the narrator finds it all. Like an alien trying to join in ogling women on a night out, it's very Morrissey to have a disdain for human nature.

Worth doing so for how transcendent the instrumental is, Some Girls... might be my favourite Johnny Marr guitar line.

 

Damn. R.I.P.

 

That is a shame. So young.

For me, graduating in high school in 1987, the Holy Trinity of music was not FOB, MCR, or PATD, but rather The Smiths, The Cure, and Echo & the Bunnymen. Without them, I wouldnt be where I am today.

 

little old but this is so good

 

is johnny's solo stuff worth diving into? how is his voice?

 

Morrisey continues to be known for having his head all the way up his ass. Marr continues to have fun with other talented bands and seems like an all-around decent guy.

 

Being such weird bigoted prick that your bandmate won't accept a ton of money to even play one show with you is not the flex he thinks it is

 

I just realized that Morrissey’s actual account posted that. That is so embarrassing, haha.

 

johnny marr based now and forever

 

Morrissey says The Smiths' greatest hits album "blocked" by Johnny Marr

 

Oh no! Now the world will never be able to enjoy The Smiths' Greatest Hits

 

Love the idea of Marr hating Morrissey so much that he doesn't even acknowledge their work together lol
