Norwegian filmmaker shocked by Marr's demand

An upcoming film by filmmaker Stian Kristensen was to include smiths song "TIALTNGO" as a central part of the soundtrack, but due to far too high demand by j. marr this is not going to happen. Morrissey himself was going to settle for the average fee for a small budget film with limited distrubation (only scandinavian countries). The song will instead be replaced by antoher eighties classic "Just Like Honey" by JAMC.

Yet again,either Morrissey or Marr shoot themselves in the foot. They never did themselves any favours during the Smiths (I lost count of the amount of times I `gave them up` because of last minute pull-outs of Tv appearances), and they still don`t capitalise on their full potential. Still - I`ll always love em. God bless em. Yamaha

                          A Morrissey news item, then his evangelical fanbase would be up in arms that anyone would dare question his demands.

                          Since it involves Johnny Marr, people can't understand why he's being so "greedy."

                          Morrissey alone has displayed enough penny pinching greed throughout his career to make such a vague news item seem silly.

                          However, I still love Morissey's eight year old response to whether or not he has ever allowed a song to be used in a television commercial: "Not really."

                          Couldn't he at least have fixed the rampant spelling errors? Lazy, lazy, lazy...

                          And really, who gives a fuck if Marr wanted more money? I mean really...do you expect him to whore out his music and NOT get a decent paycheck for it?

                                    Word is it was Marr who wouldn't allow Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want to appear in the film 'This is England'. This is why you hear an over-baked cover of the song not the heart aching Moz vocal. Morrissey had no problems or concerns about the film's treatment/script and gave the production company the 'okay'. Marr blocked it. Who knows why?

                                      What does it matter now? Morrissey is a rich man and a great solo artist a total living legend!! Johnny Marr and Mike Joyce are rich they all got what they wanted fame, fortune, rock stardom and a platform from which to air their views.

Johnny had a drinking problem, had a bad car crash, had to cope with fame at a very young age, even got in trouble with the law over art work that wasn't his fault.
