I'm a Dying Billionaire. I approach Morrissey and Marr . . .

[Catholic]

I'm a dying billionaire. Heirless, hoping to leave something behind to world culture and thinking that nobody approaches Marr in terms of music for Moz (though if Cobrin had written more, he might come closest) . . .

I approach Morrissey and Marr and offer them 100 million each to reunite for one album with a smaller sum to Rourke.

What happens?

 

[Ryan]

Do it and let's see.

 

[bhops]

If I'm a dying billionaire I'm sure as hell ponying up a larger sum than 100K. Moz probably spends that in a year on hotel rooms.

Agreed, missing a couple of zeros there! Also Moz would have to apologize for that dumb open letter.

 

[Catholic]

You're both right! I meant to put 100 million - each.

Corrected now!

I wish you luck. I'd like to see this happen too, though I'm not happy about Johnny having been promoting leather and suede shoes. He's supposed to be a vegan no?

 

[Light Housework]

I like the idea of Morrissey getting 100 million dollars, but I don't like the idea of Marr getting it, after seeing him promoting those shoes, though, my favourite shoes probably contain animal in the glue. I can't understand how someone who co-wrote Meat is Murder would sell leather 'goods'.

 

[Phranc & Open]

What about 100 Billion Dollars ?

Pretty sure Morrissey’s not vegan. I mean look at him shirtless. That’s a cheese-eater right there.

Anyway, that’s neither here nor there. Pretty sure no amount of money would motivate those two to reunite.

Theyre not getting any younger. Death is not too far for the both of them. Why dont they settle their differences for one last dance. Life is so fickle anyway. Its unreal

they turned down 75 million so what would another 25 million make.

 

[stux]

Wasn’t that 75 million to split?

Pretty sure Morrissey would turn down anything where Marr got the same amount as him. I can understand his argument as Morrissey has carved out a very successful solo career since 1988, Marr has just fiddled around.

Also pretty sure Marr would turn down anything where Morrissey got more. His argument would be that this would be about The Smiths and not solo efforts so has earned the right to be considered an equal given how much the songs and sound are respected even to this day.

You would have to do secret deals with each of them separately. 125 to Moz, 75 to Marr but Moz knows the split and Marr thinks it is even.

The only problem with my plan is that Moz would announce it in central……..

 

[Captain Caveman]

Morrissey is already a millionaire. He doesn't need the money. To be honest I think you'd have a better chance if you said you'd donate 100 million to an animal charity.

 

[Amy]

I don't think there's enough money in the world to even get them on speaking terms. The situation is petty and stupid beyond words. I think the only thing that would change it would be a death or serious illness at this point.

If it's not love
Then it's the bomb
Then it's the bomb that will bring us together

Plus he wears alpaca sweaters

[Thewlis]

If Morrissey would want to cash-in on his back catalogue he wouldn’t even need Marr. He could easily recruit any of the following: Gannon, Street, Whyte, Boorer, Cobrin, Paresi, Day, Bridgwood and do a 1988-1995 theme hits tour or/and any number of Smiths songs too.

The thing is Moz doesn’t like nostalgia tours and he doesn’t need the money.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

You could be sure. He’s actually said he’s neither vegan, vegetarian or carnivorous.
So, he could eat all the alpaca sweaters he wants.

 

[j*e*t]

I can't see it happening. Time for a supergroup, I reckon. Marr and Alain have between them nearly 140 co-writes with Morrissey, so they just need to get together with a great young Morrissey-type singer and a decent drummer and bass player and do all the fan-favourites worldwide before they get too old.

If I am a dying billionaire, I am not spending my money on them, but that's not the question.
Everyone has a price, whether they admit it or not.
