I would imagine Boz wants to do other things with his life. He has a family ECT probably grand children, and has been wanting a break to to enjoy Portugal.I guess Moz and Boz didn't have a falling out like people were saying
At least it's not Gaylord M. Focker.'Chad Gaylord' - what a name!
This must surely be the first time we've had a song where the music is written by FOUR people? (even two is a relative rarity for Morrissey). I'm wondering if the song grew out of a jam session, or maybe Morrissey has adopted the modern 'songs written by committee' method for this album?
This really reads to me like a couple who have prioritised family right now for obvious reasons and Boz heading away on tours simply wouldn't work for them.The intervening factors during covid like travel, Lyn's long covid, clearly slowing down/considering retirement coupled with things like this:

Probably better explain anything going on than choosing a single explanation.
Why have his song on the album if circumstances dictate he's no longer welcome?
Given the last 40 years, it's also reasonable to consider there may never be a 'satisfactory' explanation.

Yeah, he also covered "That Joke" and "Jack The Ripper" at a Chili Peppers concertis this Josh Klinghoffer ( in Moz tee )??

I think Domino Publishing owns the publishing rights of Boz’ music.Both songs are controlled by Domino Publishing. Is this of any importance?View attachment 81357
No. He is perfectly adequate to write songs with but probably too...er...robust to be seen on the same stage with?Nor was Boz let go because he didn’t make Morrissey any money, that he Boz was useless to him, as Uncleskinny recently claimed.
In addition to that, while I was looking through various social media for the events of this week, I saw a conversation between 2 people, one seems to know Boz and said he was not with Moz lately because he's been spending time with his grandchild.The intervening factors during covid like travel, Lyn's long covid, clearly slowing down/considering retirement coupled with things like this:

Which is what I was saying re Boz being out is that no message was published because he's probably not out. Another reason Boz is on the credits could also be that this is a song written years ago and is being worked on later which happens quite a bit with song writing.I guess Moz and Boz didn't have a falling out like people were saying
And appearing in music videos for Ringleader in 2006.Remember, Alain's songs appeared on albums right through to 2009 despite him leaving back in 2004.
Not as exciting as having fallen out with Morrissey though is it?In addition to that, while I was looking through various social media for the events of this week, I saw a conversation between 2 people, one seems to know Boz and said he was not with Moz lately because he's been spending time with his grandchild.
Alain is actually starting to look, ahem... robust along side a slimmer trimmer Morrissey.No. He is perfectly adequate to write songs with but probably too...er...robust to be seen on the same stage with?
Unfortunately the cure website is an absolutely pointless place to visit.I know! Like how Robert Smith talks about the new Cure album at the NME Awards but rarely (never) provides a worthwhile update on his official site. An update from Suede on their new album would also be great. Sometimes I think checking Amazon for album releases is often the way fans first find out, which is bizarre.
No, it's not and even Boz's current bio on FB says he is still with Moz.Not as exciting as having fallen out with Morrissey though is it?

Well I don't see Alain's return as taking over but yes Alain could lose a meal or two.are you saying that Alain’s taking over Boz’s position in more ways than one ?![]()
I saw your reply re me being a first. Was that the apology?No, it's not and even Boz's current bio on FB says he is still with Moz.
BTW, if you did not see my apology, I am sorry about the atheist remark, it was not fair of me to say and not qualifiy it with 'some' , there's just a lot behind the comment on my end and I should have apologized to you right awway.
Suedes Lp is out this year and suede are meant to be touring the USA.I know!
