Johnny Marr interviews in The Mouth Magazine, Drowned In Sound

AN INTERVIEW WITH JOHNNY MARR - The Mouth Magazine

Excerpt:

The question that seems to rear its head (and increasingly so since The Stone Roses reformed) is: when will The Smiths do the same? But I think that your legacy is best left intact where it stands, and in any case, despite the public appetite, it’s probably in keeping with the spirit of The Smiths NOT to do it. Both yourself and Morrissey have intimated that you feel the same way. The perception seems to be that you fell out with each other, irreparably, and the whole relationship was parked for good. But I understand you have been in touch in recent years? Bearing in mind that 25 years brings a lot of changes to a person, could you even imagine writing with Morrissey again – or would it be a pointless exercise due to the associations and connotations with the past?
Well, those questions have either been answered many many times, or would take a year to discuss if I was so inclined. Who cares about all that stuff anyway? People seem to ignore the fact that I may have a lot of plans to do things and that maybe that might be more important to me as an artist, or as a person – going forward in life.

People might not like to hear this, but I suspect Morrissey and Marr will never reform because they have no relationship. If Marr were in contact with Morrissey he'd say so. I am also inclined to think Morrissey is responsible for this, in spite of Marr splitting, initially. Morrissey has a history of cutting people off. He isn't really very adept at social skills, but I don't suppose he gives a flying f@ck about that...

I' ve found it today on Twitter, visiting Johnny Marr profile, it' s conversation (only question and answer) between Marr and a fan (I suppose):

@Johnny_Marr I know it's none of my business, but I hate that you and #Morrissey are not good friends. You created timeless beautiful music.
