Obviously Morrissey would never work with Mike Joyce again after the court case, so I can understand why a full Smiths reformation has never been on the cards, but as regards Morrissey and Marr working together again, or even spending time together, well they seem to have only met up twice since 1987 (bar the court case) - once in the early nineties, at Chrissie Hynde's instigation, when they went for a drive on the moors or something and talked about old times, and once in 2008 when they met up in a Manchester pub and 'agreed' to a Smiths reformation, which Morrissey later nixed.
So what's really going on between them? What are the unresolved issued? Are there skeletons in the closet that nobody wants to discuss in public? The spats over why The Smiths broke up are ancient history by now, heck even the court case is ancient history now. That's one hell of a grudge if Morrissey is still carrying one, but if Marr's account of their meeting in 2008 is accurate, then it would appear Morrissey isn't carrying a grudge anyway.
So what's it all about? After their meet-up in 2008, they exchanged emails for a while. Did Marr suddenly casually mention that he wanted to share lead vocal and lyric duties? Did Morrissey insist that his mum run the business side of things? Was there some more private grievance from way back, some apology that one felt was owed, and the other didn't want to give?
Will we ever know?
