Supposedly he never really did like using the phone, so he probably missed that called.

i hope because its the reform that i hope all my life for mtv unplugged its a beautiful form

Alain was yet again in the BBC6Music studios, being interviewed by Liz Kershaw again. He said something about how Sanctuary were interested again and some other label had been in touch too. And how Morrissey had loved the touring and how Morrissey chose the Smiths songs and they (the band) "learnt em up". So later on in the day the "news" every hour on 6Music was "New record deal for Morrissey".
I didn't bother sending it in as a story because Alain's been on the radio a few times now saying pretty much that a record deal is looming.

You know what, f*@k marr, Moz and his band could do the unplugged performance equally good....and apparently Moz can do what he wants with the Smith's songs.

johnny marr is over-rated.

too bad mtv sold out otherwise we could be looking at an unplugged performance of Moz and the lads. ho hum. it's a beautiful thought anyway.

I believe Marr is a cocaine monster. He needs help and to get away-then and maybe then could the unthinkable happen.(Do you know what I mean?)

marr is a good guy. he likes drugs, and i like drugs.

Why on earth would the pair of them want to reform for Unplugged? They are not The Eagles or some other worn-out band that are desperate to remind people how good they were, everybody knows how good they were, critics, other artists, fans and even people who don't like them have to agree that they were great musicians and writers. The Smiths despised MTV mentality and they won't do it, simple as that. I don't know why all the debate about whether Morrissey solo is better than The Smiths, this is pointless and will always be argued endlessly. In my own opinion, Morrissey solo is an entirely different entity altogether than The Smiths, even the fans he has attracted for the last 10 years or so are probably the most bitter, cynical and argumentative lot that that I have come across. The Smiths fans seemed to respect eachother more and loved the band compared to the solo fans. The other thing that is irritating is the Americanisation of the whole Smiths thing. How on earth can anybody from somewhere like America relate to what Morrissey was singing about which is so tightly embedded in the streets and his experiences of working-class life in Manchester? The whole Smiths bubble is gone forever, in the memories of the people who really knew what it was like. I'm glad they will never reform just so that a bunch of pretentious and worse still, middle-class idiots can hijack the whole thing as their own. You just don't get it do you? Morrissey is NOT The Smiths, The Smiths are dead forever. Even his current band's tuneless dirge, plinky-plonky tinpot indie guitar parts and solos are not a patch on any single beautiful chord or guitar line that Marr ever played. What an awful site this really is.

drug addiction is a sad illness, and there's no need to insult people who have a problem with it. i agree that addiction sucks, but the people with those kinds of problems need help, not insensitive bastards like you to bitch at them. let's not forget gary day had a heroine problem before he got help, and lots of valuable people in history have gone through the same. some get help and get better, others only have assholes like you around them and just end up dead. i hope someone you care about ends up with a drug problem, and then you'll have a little more sympathy for people like that.
