Dear fellow Mozza/ Smiths fans,
Thank you for your contributions thus far, especially those who still hope and dream that they could be reunited. Those who just post negative or mildly insulting comments, well, maybe you should substitute the one-thumbed-drunken-monkey at your keyboard for a hopeful, happy, and articulate human, responding with well reasoned arguements or opinions.
You may have noticed my own scepticism in my opening thread, by putting 'connections' in quotation marks.
Do I really believe that Marr will turn up? Probably not. Just hopeful on an extremely wafer thin rumour. I wondered within our fan community if anyone else had heard the same.
As for the comment about Moz rating his own work higher than the Smiths, well, of course he would have that opinion! He's not gonna say 'bummer, my best work was over 25 years ago, everything I've done since doesnt compare'.
For the record, as if you don't know, 20/25% of his current set consists of Smiths songs, so, he must rate them a bit. Do the maths.
But I find it amazing we all think we know the mind of Mozza. He plays us, the media, and everyone else the way he wants. Who knows what he's thinking?? Apparently he doesn't Luke this fans website. But hey, maybe he does? It's Mozza, remember. He may be reading this forum right now ands think to himself 'getting Marr to do a number, that's a top idea!' who knows.
If he wants to do a few reformation gigs one day (for whatever reason), he won't give 2 hoots what he's said before- he will just announce it one day.
And as for his autobiography, it's under the 'fiction' section in my bookcase (metaphorically- I don't categorise my books! Just my vinyl.....). Don't get me wrong- I loved the book, as I'm a fan.
He's told us he basically hates Joyce. But who really knows? He tells us what he wants to tell us, and we all lap it up. He probably goes out drinking with Joyce in Portland, occasionally bumping into Marr. Probably all wearing t-shirts ssying 'Im with stupid', talking about the old days snogging girls, drinking beer, paying gigs, and playing the media. Rourke got an invite to Porrland, but he couldn't make it
, so Gannon turned up instead, wearing a Salford Lads t- shirt.
I've lost my own thread here ....
What's my point? Don't believe all rumours- though some may be true! Don't believe what Morrissey says to the media. Hes playing us all.
He will probably contact the Daily Mail next week and announce a Smiths reunion!
Enjoy the music, and may Marr appear at the BIC gig in March 2015
