Mr. Alain Whyte or Mr. Spencer Cobrin Probably Don't Care Anymore
This was four years ago. I think the relevance of the issue has probably long passed anyone by. Spencer proved his point that he didn't need Morrissey by forming his own band. Morrissey proved his point that he didn't need Spencer by hiring TWO new drummers. After all, he does seem to consider them on par with "lawnmower parts."
Besides, who wants to sit around waiting for a contradictory prima donna, finally getting a call when your own band is taking off, making you change your own plans, only to be paid squat for your efforts? (Let's face it--the boys in the band are probably NOT rolling in the Moz dough.)
That's more likely the real reason Spenny thought it best to move on. Or not, who cares?
Cheers,
Jamie
