You think a Smiths reunion will happen yes?
Yes, maybe. If the four decide to, then it’ll most likely be for the money( which is not a bad motivation). They get what they want, the fans get what they want, and everyone is happy.
Of course if anyone is getting back together, I would prefer a Morrissey & Marr album. Which would be a little more dignified.
There needs a unified cause (perhaps some animal welfare issue) to eclipse their political disagreements—and save faces. God knows, there is still plenty they would agree on despite their differences.
A reunion would put Morrissey’s star back in the ascent, and it negotiates any idea of him having to show contrition to regain an A-list status.
Given a longstanding friendship with Marr, I think Rourke would be back in.
There have been so many feuds and barriers overcome in bands for the benefit of past reunions (Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols, Stone Roses, Velvet Underground and in some qualified way ABBA) that it’s harder for me to think it won’t happen than believe that it will.
In a nutshell, a reunion would give Morrissey a lightning quick way of transcending the cancel culture. And given his love of the limelight and settling scores, there might soon be a need for that—as much as a want on the side of fans.
