Johnny Marr: 'Morrissey and I email' (Norwich Evening News)
posted by davidt on Thursday September 24 2009, @09:00AM

There's a story going round the web at the momemnt that quotes Marr talking his current relationship to Moz

"It's not necessarily the case that we're not talking," he said. "We have email. We worked on that 'Sound Of The Smiths' [2008 compilation album] together. Who's got time for a feud? Right now I have got screwdrivers inside guitars, my car broke down yesterday… I've got no time for a feud."

Speaking about a possible reunion he added: "I like The Smiths' songs, but I like playing with two guitars and writing new songs. Unfortunately a reunion would go against both those things."

Many sites are reporting this but the source is the Norwich Evening News. link to story:

Never Has To Be A Smiths "Thing" (Score:5, Interesting)
It's not impossible for Marr to write music for Moz (Lord knows Morrissey needs and upgrade from Tobias and Boorer and Alain's compositions have been lackluster lately) and start a new group together.

Nothing wrong with Morrissey and Marr along with a new bassist and drummer and second guitarist (possibly even a keyboardist).

All new faces, fresh sound, totally new beginnings for both guys.

I think both guys would get a renewed spark from a resumed collaboration.

Forget all The Smiths talk, just be Morrissey/Marr.

This might be proof for all the nay-sayers. (Score:4, Insightful)
This small snippet might show that Morrissey is not all that difficult to work with.

This site seems to focus of bizarre folklore about postcards and pink-slips... almost to the point of hyperbole.

I think the tremendous amount of respect between Morrissey and Marr (despite the break-up of the Smiths) is proof that Morrissey is a well-rounded, sensible, and creative artist.

Marr and Morrissey should work on new material. Be careful though. Bauhaus, tried to do this a short time ago and the record was dreadful.

      what's the joy, it's well known and documated
      they have contact

      Smiths reunion never

      a collabotation with other musicians doing a few gigs, maybe

      working together for a new album,no ,they both know they were legendary a new album would only
      damage that, or criticism with a band in a time
      when musicbizniz was so different

      but I would like Johnny coming on stage during
      a Morrissey gig and doing 2 Smiths songs or so

            So Mr Morrissey is finally using email instead of the fax?

            I want to know EVERYTHING about Morrissey, what does he eat, drink, what does he do when not on tour, what records does he listen, what tv programmes does he watch.

            they have a maximum of about 10 years left in which to do this otherwise by then it will have become irrelevant and they will both be too old and let's face it, who will care in 10 years time?? They are both at the peak of their powers at the moment, both doing well recording, no bitterness, and on tours so round about now would be the best time to embark on a joint project.

            each other, he's just saying that they both have email. I guess, meaning the potential is there to talk to each other.
