Imagine my amazement reading through the local news rag finding under the music section "Morrissey drummer helping local bands make most of their talent".

It turns out that Spike Smith comes from Peterborough UK, and is giving lessons to local wannabe drummers for £15 per hour. Bargain of a lifetime perhaps, but does this mean he's not got any Moz studio work coming up??? New album plot thickens. Anyway Spike will be appearing in the SRM percussion shop in Mayors Walk, Peterborough on Sunday 13th Aug from 3pm for anyone wanting drumming lessons, it says here. The most amusing bit of the article is the resume of Moz's career entitled "Riding High in the Charts". It notably talks about the man in the past tense, reinforcing the comment that the only thing the British press will review positively is the death of Morrissey! The resume bit follows:

(more)


Stephen (sic) Morrissey, who preferred to be known only by his last name, formed The Smiths in 1982 with guitarist Johnny Marr, and the band had hit singles and albums, including Panic and Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, through much of the 80's.
Morrissey left The Smiths in 1987 to go solo, launching his debut solo album Viva Hate, in 1988. It included the chart hits Suedehead and Everyday Is Like Sunday.

    When did Morrissey leave the Smiths. Stupid me...and i always taught it was Johnny being the one who left. (sarcastic tone)

    or was that a joke what i read and intended to be that way. Nonetheless misinform info on Moz once again.

      why oh why will people never spell his goddamn name right?? the poor lad.....people always saying stephen instead of steven (and it's well known how much moz hates this...he once said the saving grace about his christian name was that it wasn't spelt with a p and h...) and his surname always gets spelt with one r or s instead of two for each. the poor man...he's been around for long enough...the most people could do is spell his name right!!!
