If his various forewords are anything to go by then, at least his writing, won't be that exciting. But the content could be, of course.
Smells faintly of 'if Moz can do it then so can I', when in reality Moz has proved himself countless times since the demise of The Smiths....and Johnny has proven himself only once or twice (with Kirsty McColl and with The The, and that was nearly 20 years ago).
Something tells me (well, Marr's comments after Morrissey's book came out tells me) that the Smiths chapters -- if we get more than one -- will be slim and dismissive.
Still, it could be interesting in a wider scope of the music industry. There'll be no "dirt" as they say. I don't think Marr's ever really given up the tatty truth.
What I'm REALLY waiting for is Andy and Mike's tome. Even if they print it with an indie publishing house (or go the self-published route, they could set many records straight and earn a nice little payday. Would love to hear the story from their perspective.
I've always felt Andy's rendition of events would probably run closest alongside the actual facts, more so than the other three -- and he was the one on drugs! So yeah, I'm waiting for that one as well.
Can't wait for the chapter on the court case. I hope it makes up the bulk of the book.
Can't wait for the chapter on how Morrissey tracked him down for the first time and visited his house, pushing his nose up against the window like a kid from Dickens. And how Moz knew it was fate when he bumped into a huge cardboard cut out of Robert Smith in Marr's bedroom.
