Morrissey loved Marr's neck brace

Morrissey jealous of neck brace - NZCity / BangShowbiz

Morrissey was jealous when Johnny Marr had to wear a neck brace.

Former Smiths guitarist Marr was involved in a car crash when he was in the band – which was fronted by Morrissey - and was given the support to wear when he went to hospital.

He revealed: "I have never spent a full night in hospital. I crashed a BMW into a wall when I was in The Smiths - even though I couldn't actually drive at the time. I did my back and neck in pretty badly, but checked out after a few hours. I wore a neck brace - Morrissey was very envious."

One of The Smiths most iconic records is ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’, which features the lyrics, “If a double-decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die. And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us. To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine.”

Marr, 45, now leads a healthy lifestyle, and keeps in shape by running.

The musician – who plays guitar for The Cribbs - explained: "I'm pretty healthy. People think that I live a rock 'n' roll lifestyle, but I've either missed doing all that stuff or I've done it and can't remember.

"I got into running in the early 90s. Now, wherever I am in the world, I just put on my hoodie and run for 20 miles."

And uncredited too. Pulled straight from the Observer Body and Soul article from last week, also posted in the forums. Still funny, though.

David Cameron hugs Morrissey. Morrissey nonplussed (Score:1)

Can't resist this one:

"I got into running in the early 90s. Now, wherever I am in the world, I just put on my hoodie and run for 20 miles."

'Cameron softens crime image in 'hug a hoodie' call'

Just picture the scene. Morrissey accosted by yet another rabid 'fan', one who insists he justs wants to help him feel less rejected. That he doesn't have to sell drugs on the streets of Brixton anymore. He can stop being a dreadful 'NEET on the street'. There's a Goverment scheme so he can reach his dreams....Then Cameron realises it's his hero and asks for an autograph.

Morrissey interrupts running schedule, scribbles 'to David, whatever' and runs off. "Don't you realise who I am?" shouts our Future Leader/Heir Apparent To Thatcher. Morrissey glances back. "No, should I?" he shouts before running across the nearest dual carriageway to escape.

What Morrissey noticed? (Score:0)

Would it be far-fetched to suggest that Morrissey found Marr strangely attractive wearing his neck brace; bullnecked, mejestic and statuesque? Deliberately or not, those corporal and postural features Morrissey has himself embraced and developed, progressively, since '95 or '96.
