This from the Herald interview. Thought it deserved its own thread. It's pretty much the most positive thing I've seen Marr say about their friendship since the split...
"I ask if his meeting with Morrissey in Cheshire was business, revolving around the catalogue. "We wouldn't get together on a business level, because the business isn't that important and we both know that."
Contrary to speculation the pair have met over the years since Marr left the band, something he doesn't regret. Now tee-total he went through a phase of heavy drinking to cope with the strain. Marr achieved his aim of becoming a hit-maker with Morrissey, racking up 19 singles and four albums in five years. Despite the acrimonious split, they've never lost touch: "We do have that shared legacy. If you meet up with the idea of hanging around for a couple of hours and it turns into five or six then that's got to say something. There are fewer fences to be built than people like to believe or would even want to believe."
oh for a photo of the two of them together in the pub!
