Johnny Marr and the Healers on "recovered" last night?

[david]

did anyone see this? They played one of their own, which unsurprisingly had great guitars but I thought his voice sounded slightly nervous. And they followed this with a Bob Dylan cover, which was really good. In the short "interview" we found out nothing much now, the presenter Dermot O'Leary admitted to stealing a copy of The Queen is Dead when he was 16 and Johnny told him "you owe me £2.50 plus interest". Came across as a pretty decent bloke.

Did he do "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" again ? (as the Bob Dylan cover.) He covered that for a recent-ish "Uncut" magazine Dylan tribute cover disc. I thought his version was very good - I was surprised how well his voice sounded (this was before the "Boomslang" album had been released.)

I think he did,yes. his voice sounded much better on this one than his own song.

That must have been the only interview he has ever done without being asked about you know who
