Do tell!
That is odd. If someone has some gossip they want to spill then do it - just don't hint darkly about something without giving any details. Moz has had so much bad press over the last 5 years, it's difficult to imagine what further revelation could do his career any more damage.
That's what I figured. He's done this before, Haslam, vaguely hinting at some great revelation that will destroy Moz forever on Twitter. As you said, Moz has so many enemies and so much bad press I can't believe there's anything left to chuck at him. Surely if Haslam and Co think he's so racist, right-wing and dangerous you'd be keen to tarnish his career forever - why hold back? If Moz was that awful with so many skeletons in his closet, why would Marr be so fine with talking about (contrary to Moz's opinion). I mean Marr's autobiography talks about their pub meetup in 2008 - he'd hardly be keen for that if Moz was such a monster.
I'm not sure Marr is that arsed about Morrissey, clearly he's bored as anyone at being asked about him and The Smiths. I don't think its any great revelation that Moz is an awkward sod who bears grudges and falls out with people, clearly him and Marr have nothing in common these days.
My thoughts exactly - but if its that awful, particularly in this climate, then you'd surely want it out in the open to 'cancel' Moz for good. If Haslam/Marr know something then why would they ignore it? Marr even threated a reunion with that 2008 pub meet-up - seems highly unlikely he'd want to do that if Moz had such potentially bad press.
I don't believe there is any great 'dark secret', but in theory if there was something that bad it would end Morrissey forever, then there's always the chance it could take down The Smiths as well, and have no one want to listen to them again, so that might be a concern for Johnny. I still call bullshit however, unless Haslam is prepared to speak up and put his cards on the table.
This is kid’s gloves stuff compared to what John Lydon was saying about Glen Matlock, before the Pistols got back together. Even the revelation that Matlock was secretly fed spunk sandwiches did nothing to interfere with the brotherly love once everyone was shown the figures.
If it turns out Johnny really left the band because he found out Moz was secretely feeding him spunk sandwiches, I don't wanna know.
The fact Haslam regularly draws on Moz stories and anecdotes for his own career would suggest there's no great secret to be revealed. He'd look just as bad by association. Beyond the obvious worst case scenario news, I'm not sure anything about Moz would be surprising or news. He's often petty, vindictive, fractious, a nightmare to work with and flippantly says things to wind people up. We all know this, that's just Moz for better or worse like many great artists!
