It would be fantastic if they got to number one....but in reality, I just don't think anyone cares anymore

Nice article, thanks.

The Smiths never had a Number One? I would have thought they would have.

The most telling part of the interview is ''Joe Moss, The Smiths first manager and currently Johnny's manager.......'

If only he had remained manager.....who knows how greater the band would have been....

Lovely, flattering article.

Unfortunately the campaign is futile because of the Haiti single. Even if everyone made a herculean effort and bought it six times each, charity + Cowell can't fail.

 

[Raphael Lambach]

That's good.

Yep I really enjoyed the article

Have you seen the comments, though? everyone is whining about how overrated they are and , surprise, surprise, how pretentious and awful Morrissey is ... in fact it is just like the haters on the main page

I'm pretty sure that's a recycled article. I remember reading it a few years ago during Morrissey's "comback".

Does anyone know what position it got? I looked here and it doesn't look like they made it into the top #100:

I'll have my 69p back now, Mike Joyce, thank you very much.

Oh balls, I did it on the wrong day!!!!

 

[Raphael Lambach]

Oh balls, I did it on the wrong day!!!!

it's not your fault...

 

[Helen]

I didn't join the group....

What number did it get to or did they not do it in the end?

Mike and Rourke aren't so interested in charts nowadays.
I won't pay for downloading HSIN - but if it were an unreleased track, why not?

I have Mike in my msn, so he's on I'll ask him about the "new" HSIN chart....

 

[Helen]

Ah, I see, he's your chum.

*stops making cracks about Mike's new Rolex*

 

[Raphael Lambach]

Ah, I see, he's your chum.

Unfortunately he's not my intimat friend, but I have his msn adress...
is it wrong or bad?

 

[Helen]

Not at all! I mean, you're talking to the girl who knows that a certain band member had to be cut free from his wife's leather trousers and was found to be sporting grey Y-fronts underneath.
