Ace interview! 2017-10-20T18:26:26Z Comment by User 68945588 Thanks for naming Kirsty McColl....sorely missed. 2017-10-12T10:35:41Z Comment by User 68945588 Yesss, I remember seeing them on TV...the glasses, baggy shirt, necklace, gladioli in Morrisey's back pocket...classic!

Johnny Marr! 2017-10-09T19:46:38Z Comment by matt porter YyyyeeSSS 2017-10-09T11:36:44Z Comment by Meryl Streep TM Mozz Autobiography's fifty pages is about being double crossed by the Smiths, being publicly humiliated by Judge John Weeks under absurd and bizarre circumstances, with so many wrenching details. Morrissey plays for higher stakes and that's what makes his work superior and which ultimately makes him a target, whereas Marr's book is subdued and pleasing to expectation. No digg, just my outsider's opinion. That being said, We love you Johnny! Smiths is the best band ever. 2017-10-09T03:13:31Z Comment by Scott Watson This is a great interview. Nice to hear Johnny talking so openly about his relationship with Morrissey. 2017-10-07T21:08:12Z Comment by James0Hannah Oh yeah, and seconding the interview request for Frank Black. When you were talking about certain fans not allowing band members to go on and do their own stuff, it was a VERY thinly veiled you, right? Anyway, Black loves Graham Linehan! He'll love you! You probably know this, right? You've probably already interviewed him, right...? 2017-10-07T18:03:52Z Comment by James0Hannah Great ep -- he really opens up! Nerdy fact re 'royalties fights'. The most successful royalty structure I've heard of comes from Madness. The songwriter(s) get(s) 50% of the royalty, and then the other 50% is split equally between all seven band members. Result = no fights! 2017-10-07T18:01:12Z Comment by Smashing Lads Top interview this. You asked all the right questions, can tell you're a proper fan. Frank Black interview would be good? Ta mate xxx 2017-10-07T11:37:01Z Comment by Kevin Jones Love it.... Had shivers when he spoke about the genesis of some of those songs... 2017-10-07T11:17:10Z Comment by AshHuntington Love the detail about the writing process, where the ideas came from. 2017-10-06T08:17:51Z Comment by George S Brilliant! I've listened to this twice through. When Johnny talks about how much faith he had in Morrissey as a performer and vice versa, it brought forth spontaneous tears. Well done! 2017-10-06T00:27:32Z Comment by midierror super, cant wait to listen 2017-10-05T11:29:56Z
