certain Ken Friedman, who was on Johnny side,and somehow manager of the band at the last months,
he indeed should have brought the 2 together and
say to Morrissey, I want a break, looking for other sound, doing session work...but the eNeMEy
smelld fire and posted about the split, which was
news for all the 4, and too late cause Johnny was
allready busy with the Talking Heads/Pretenders/Brian Ferry
resume;
IMHO he just don't want to kick back, and sees
the Smiths as his way into making good money in the the musicbusiness, put on Rank if you want a reunion, cause if it happens, it'll be a greatest hits tour,both have made a carreer on ther own
I for one, am waiting on the details from the other alliance, and that Joyce by going to court
ans sue his 'mates'for 1.2 mil was and always be the reason that there never will be a reunion
or even M&M together,knowing that Johnny is as
hurt as Morrissey is about Mike's acions
Look for a good singer m/f and create a new band
mr MARR, I wish you all the best...

Let's not forget....the reason for the gig... (Score:2, Informative)
"Who Killed Kirsty MacColl?" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1223403/ [imdb.com])
in 2004 will realise there has still not been justice applied in this case - which the authorities have deemed 'closed'.
It is beyond sad for her family and close friends (Lyn etc) and her army of fans and I hope this gig will not only be a celebration of her but remind people some of us still want justice for Kirsty even if it seems impossible.
Please visit:http://www.justiceforkirsty.org/ [justiceforkirsty.org] and keep her memory alive.
I seldom do politics et al, but the travesty of justice in this case is staggering.
I'm sure Mr.Marr not be the only highlight of the night - Mr.Bragg will be there and there could be some scope for a Smiths tune amongst them all.
There is a link for tickets on her site 'Free World":

Where is Boz Boorer? (Score:1)
The book notes that Boz, Lyn and their children were all good friends with Kirsty as well.
Let's hope that who ever is booking this thing contacts him and he accepts.

I imagine that for some of her very close friends, even now, there is not one single day that goes by when they do not think of Kirsty. But it is so difficult to talk about this because it is an absolute tragedy.
It is jaw-dropping to learn and read of the efforts these past few years from the family side, just to attempt to try and bring some justice. And her mother has had to do all of this on her own.
In a world that can be forgiving, where we are taught to forgive, why should we forgive ? I am sorry but in my opinion the Mexicans who are responsible for this tragedy should be tracked down because they are cowards and disgusting creatures.
