Talk of a Smiths reunion is idiotic. Marr and Steve loathe Joyce almost equally.
But Marr and Steve getting back together isn't so far fetched. They've both wanted it at different times post-Smiths, but just not at the same time.
And it would make them both a heck of a lot lot wealthier than sticking with their solo careers.
The current Morrissey album is unlikely to sell more than 150,000 worldwide. They would have record companies pleading with them to sign.
A Morrissey and Marr album would probably sell 2 million on the curiosity factor alone. And they would sell many, many more concert tickets (proper sold out arena tours), and also get paid a fortune by festival promoters.
So if it was purely about the money, Morrissey would have signed up to it when Marr offered back in 2009. It obviously isn't, and you'd have to be a truly embittered, timewasting troll to think otherwise.
I agree with you mostly but when has morrissey really wanted a smiths reunion. Aside from the time right after split I can’t think of any mentions. I also wonder if they would work well together now
