why do they always have to bring up saint marr,must be after an interview,then again johnboy would go to the opening of a fridge door these days,those bright lights.

The opening of a fridge door
This is why praise of Marr is always so disingenous, it's just used to take a dig at Morrissey. He's always being damned with faint praise, but I don't think he's smart enough to realize it.
-----------------------------------------
Conflicted Morissey fans could always turn to Johnny Marr. “The Smith you can rely on” performs a number of their songs in his repertoire and his solo stuff is getting better and better. He doesn’t spit bile and, bonus, he doesn’t charge upwards of sixty quid a ticket. At least not yet.
This paragraph is ridiculous, seeing Marr is no where near the experience of seeing Morrissey, the songs are nothing without Moz. I don't feel conflicted, but if Johnny could actually intelligently discuss politics and current events, who knows what he would say, or if you could even understand him (see how he writes lyrics? that's what I mean.......he is illiterate)
"The Smith you can rely on" 0h, that same one who walked out on the band and contractual obligations? That doesn't seem very reliable.
Good to know his solo stuff is getting better and better after being a professional musician for 40 years

Are we saying it wasn't very good before and there's still room for improvement?
Actually he does spit bile, check his twitter and all the bs he says about Morrissey, also see meltdown about Rick Astley
Marr will never get the ticket prices Morrissey does, so no 'yet' there
