Good little read - thanks.
The problem was a two-way street back then: hardly any journos asked about them and Morrissey rarely spoke of them (at least in specifics). He rarely singled out his collaborators - unlike the latter day where, e.g., he brought Jesse on camera for the Les Inrockuptibles interview and spoke specifically of him and his contributions.
The togetherness - or seemingness of - has ebbed and flowed throughout the years, as players have come and gone and the line-up has temporarily solidified from time to time. But the "replaceableness" seems more amplified with the parade of drummers over the last few years.
