No he's not,he's a really unethical person, not as bad as Mike Joyce, but pretty close.If he didnt need the money for drugs he would have been standing right next to Mike at that Kangaroo court. Johnny taught Andy how to play bass and got him in The Smiths, otherwise who knows where Andy Rourke would have ended up. Not dating 21 year olds named Heather at the very least. He also tried to get Andy help with his little drug problem and had to hide it from Morrissey, which Im sure was very stressful. Johnny had to protect Andy, Teach Mike Joyce drums,and work with Morrissey and the thanks he gets is being sued by Andy and Mike and in the end having to pay Morrissey's share of the judgment. The man is a saint.
Fact: when Johnny Marr was in school, Andy Rourke was involved in drugs and all sorts of bad things and a teacher went up to Johnny and asked him to take care of Andy so he wouldn't get in serious trouble. Johnny hanging out at Andy's house is no excuse for that kind of behavior. Everyone knows in school kids hang out at the house where there is no parental supervision which is why they hung out at Andy's house.
RE: business. from what I understand none of the members of The Smiths had their MBA's so they are all equal businesswise.
